About this property

Winter time! Charming Family Friendly - West Shore Tahoe Cabin

Vacation Home Rental permit # 072732. Our cabin (IG @tahoebigpinecabin) is a two bedroom, two bathroom welcoming home which sleeps 5-7 people.The living room, dining nook and kitchen are an open floor plan, allowing for time with family or friends to make memories. The kitchen is stocked with essential cooking equipment to prepare meals. We also have a gas BBQ for outdoor grilling, along with an outdoor table on the front deck. As the Tahoe summer/fall evenings can be chilly, you can warm up by the wood-burning fireplace in the living room. We also have a mudroom with a washer and dryer and storage benches to store snow or beach items.

The two bedrooms are upstairs, along with the larger bathroom. Another full bathroom, with a shower/tub, is downstairs. One bedroom has a queen sized bed and a comfy chair for reading. The second bedroom has one full-sized bed and a twin/full bunk bed, perfect for the kiddos – big and small.

For our younger guests we have some toys, books, games, a pack ‘n play, a table high chair and children’s plates/bowls/cups/utensils. For the older guests we have books, games and a TV with Apple TV.

We fell in love with Tahoma a few years ago and love the West Shore location. The neighborhood is tranquil with a sense of community. Within a 10-minute walking distance from our cabin is a recreational pier and beach, a children’s playground, coffee/ice cream shop, a local general market and a pizza place. We are also one mile from Chambers Landing, a popular summer/fall location with a beach, pier and bar/grill (if you go make sure to try their punch).

Within a short drive from our cabin are:

• Sugar Pine Point State park, great for hiking (5-min drive)

• Homewood ski resort (5-min drive)

• Meeks bay, a sandy beach with shallow water and optimal family-friendly location (10-min drive)

• Famous Emerald Bay and D.L. Bliss State Park (15-min drive south)

• Camp Richardson, which is a popular area for the summertime (30-min drive south)

If you want a more lively area than Tahoma, Tahoe City is a 15-minute drive north from Tahoma. Tahoe City has more restaurants, beaches, large playgrounds, gas stations and larger supermarkets for all your needs. On the drive to Tahoe City there are a few gems along the way which are some of our favorite places to eat & drink along the West Shore. If you are new to the area we are happy to help guide you and provide you with recommendations.

Please let us know if you are interested in our ski lease option as well!

Please note- we do not allow service animals due to health and safety reason.

Too short a stay!

This is a convenient, pleasant cabin in a quiet neighborhood with all necessary cooking and other items. We got it at the last minute but the hosts prepared it quickly and with a nice welcome. We would definitely stay here again.

Great, cozy cabin (bedrooms are upstairs). Communication with the owners was great. It was convenient and had everything you would want in a stay (except the unpredictability of Tahoe weather).

Highly Recommend

This was our first trip to Lake Tahoe, and I was debating if we should stay at north or south Tahoe. I am glad we choose this west Tahoe house. It’s in a central location and within manageable driving distance to both Kings Beach in north Tahoe and south Tahoe village. It’s very convenient to drive to Emerald bay and Pope Beach. The house itself is nice and clean, very cozy and have everything we need to cook breakfast and spaghetti dinner. The house is in a quiet and very wooded neighborhood. The community pier is an easy 10 minutes’ walk and does involve crossing Rt. 89, which is not difficult at all. I loved the hammock among the trees. Communications with Jon were easy and effective. We enjoyed our Lake Tahoe experience despite the impact from the wildfires.

Perfect Location in beautiful West Tahoe

We stay in Tahoe every few years and this was by far our favorite location. Close to all things North (Truckee & Tahoe City) and South, this beautiful cabin is set in a peaceful (yet convenient) location. We had every amenity we could have wanted in this warm and well stocked home. It was clean and the owners were super attentive to any questions we had. We hope to stay again!

Quiet location

Perfect visit. 4 adults and 1 child. Cabin was very clean and comfortable and location is close to everything yet quiet. Only tip would be to space out showers to ensure you have hot water.

Labor Day Weekend

Tahoe Big Pine Cabin was a great place to stay. The location was perfect. Great proximity to all the action, but in a nice quiet neighborhood. The cabin was well stocked and there were a lot of toots for the kids. Jon and Monique were great hosts and responded quickly to any questions we had. Overall, a great experience for our little family.

Great ski weekend, excellent accommodations.

Dealing with Jon and Monique was very easy. They were quick to respond to my many messages and provided helpful info. The house was easily accessible and close to grocery stores and some local restaurants. It was very comfortable and everything in the kitchen was labeled and easy to find. The house was perfect for 3 people. The only suggestion I have is to oil the door hinges in the upstairs bathroom. It is very loud in the middle of the night. All three of us agreed that, if we go back to Tahoe, we would definitely stay there again. Thanks - Matt

It was perfect for us

We were looking for a chance to enjoy a cabin in the snow. Our stay was perfect for this. The cabin is so homey and well equipped with all the things needed for a really comfortable stay. Our grandsons stayed part of the time with us and they proved that the cabin is as functional as it is cozy. Jon and Monique are excellent hosts. I had trouble with some of the communication technology and they were extremely patient. Also, when it looked like the weather would block us from driving up, Jon provided encouragement and helped to identify a good window for the drive. Overall it was a delightful escape to a “cabin in the snow” that makes me think we should also plan a summer cabin stay.

Great cabin that is cozy and also updated and modern

Thank you Jon and Monique for the wonderful cabin to stay in!! The accommodations you guys provided were phenomenal with letting us arrive early due to weather conditions and offering us to stay longer was a tremendous help since I'm not sure we would have made it up if we had waited, then arriving to a lovely note, a bottle of wine and beverages in the fridge was even more thoughtful and appreciated. This cabin was cozy, warm with a lot of updated modern touches. The mud room was so nice to have with all of our snow gear so we didn't have to drag it all through the house. The place was clean and kids loved all the toys and games that were provided. We had a nice warm fire and relaxed on the soft and comfortable couches. I highly recommend this place and hope to return again soon! Best Regards, The Brown Family

About the host

Hosted by Jon and Monique Christensen

Host profile image
We have been together for many years and have two little ones.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Tahoma when our oldest child was only 6 weeks old. It was our first family vacation together. Ever since we have visited the West shore during all the seasons and loving it more and more. We jumped at the opportunity to buy our cozy cabin (Big Pine Cabin as we like to call it). We put a lot of love and some updates in the cabin after purchasing.

Our cabin is very family oriented and love sharing our cabin with other families and indviduals that will respect our little spot in Tahoe. We hope you enjoy your stay and make memories @tahoebigpinecabin
