Thank you for the 5-star review! Glad Whispering Pines Cabin was quiet and had everything you needed. Appreciate the Tupperware tip — we’ll add a few more containers to the kitchen and note it in the guest guide so future guests know. We’d love to welcome you back on a future visit.

Cozy cabin for our family. Enjoyed the deck out back, and the enclosed yard would be great for a dog. Location is great -- we hiked around Washoe Meadows and up to Angora Lakes, right from the front door, no driving needed. South Lake Tahoe beaches and amenities are a short drive away.

This home is the perfect rustic/modern and cozy atmosphere. They provide everything you need for a comfy stay, The backyard was huge for our dog to enjoy and the back deck and lights were the best way to relax and watch the trees dance in the wind. This home exceeded our expectations and we will definitely come back!

We were snowed in with 4-5 ft of snow and were so grateful to be staying in this house. It’s warm, cozy, everything works, and is just the right amount of space for our family of four. There were games for the kids, plenty of kitchen tools, and there’s a snow plow that clears the residential street and even the driveway. Thanks for a magical and memorable week! We would stay here again and highly recommend it!

Great cabin for a weekend getaway

Really cozy property with everything you might need for a stay in South Lake Tahoe. Location is great for skiing, about 20-25 minutes from the California Lodge base of Heavenly, and the big backyard was thoroughly enjoyed by our dog. Will definitely be coming back for future stays!

Loved the place

It was perfect for us—two parents and two kids (ages 2 and 8). Everything was amazing: a warm bath, fast internet, super comfortable beds, and a clean, cozy sofa. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the utensils we needed. We felt right at home!

Very clean and comfortable. It had a nice big backyard for the pup. I appreciated the morning coffee. Nice location for hiking around desolation wilderness. Overall a nice place but a bit pricey for an older home.

Small Getaway

Enjoyed the location as it was far enough from the center but close drive if needed to go in. Loved the nearby hikes, our dog enjoyed it there. There was great communication with the prop manager and owner. Still gave them an overall 5 since they were so responsive on sending someone to clean up the backyard after prev visitors not cleaning up after their pups. Would stay here again!

Exactly as described & Quiet

The house was just as described, clean and comfy, perfect for a couple and dog. The neighborhood seems all owner-occupied and very quiet! Just a two-minute walk to Washoe Meadows State Park trails. Location to other trails and lands was so easy from here. We would definitely stay here again to explore South Lake Tahoe area. Thanks to the owners for this opportunity!

Whispering Pines Perfection

Everything was wonderful from start to finish. The property was a mirror image to what I saw online. All was as advertised and even better! I would recommend to anyone looking for a cozy spot in a nice quiet neighborhood but within just a short hop to downtown South Lake and the lake itself. 10/10 would book again

Relaxing Getaway

My husband and I wanted a week away from our busy lives. This cabin was perfect. It was comfortable, cozy and a quiet neighborhood. It was a 10 minute drive to Lake Tahoe. The appliances were new and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots & pans, cookie sheets and utensils to cook our own meals. The large smart tv's were really nice and had access to Netflix, Disney +, Hulu and more so we had unlimited movie choices. The fenced backyard was really private to enjoy feeding the birds, squirrels and chipmunks. They even provided a bird feeder. We didn't bring a dog or children but they had things available to take care of them if you did. I would definitely stay here again.

Exciting and much needed mini-staycation.

Our family of 5 really, really needed this short getaway to Tahoe. The home was very clean and tidy. The tops of appliances, furniture, and corners of each room were pristine. I esp. loved seeing the vaccum lines on the carpet when we checked-in ;). My kids kept saying how they loved the home and had imaginary play in the backyard for hours- knee-high in fresh snow. They even built "snow sculptures" and explored the "forest" thay was covered with snow. We were 10-15 minutes drive away to several accessible mountains to go sledding. We esp. loved walking right up to the shoreline of Lake Tahoe as it was snowing and just taking in the wonder of this beautiful, natural landmark. More than anything, we were very grateful to have a quiet and secluded home that was pet-friendly so that our sweet doodle could join us for family time and memories. Thank you!

My family, including our dog, had a wonderful stay at the Whispering Pines Cabin! The cabin was very clean and well stocked with plenty of towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and laundry essentials. The kitchen had pots, pans, a toaster, spices, a coffee maker, and even had coffee pods! There was a dog food and water bowl. The beds were very comfortable. The cabin is on a quiet street that was perfect for taking an afternoon walk. It is about 20 minutes from state line and the casinos, and about 20 minutes from our favorite dog friendly beach, Kiva beach. The Raley’s is just ten minutes up the road. The host was friendly and responsive to our questions and needs. We will definitely stay again!

perfect getaway in a great location

Perfect space for our family of 4 and 1 year old lab. The rooms and bathrooms are conveniently located on opposite sides of the house and the washer & dryer came in handy after a day at the lake. The large fenced-in yard gave our lab a lot of room to stretch her legs during rounds of fetch, and us the peace of mind after seeing several coyotes roaming the surrounding neighborhood. The location of the home is a few minutes away from golf, groceries, restaurants, casinos and lake!

Another Excellent Experience at Whispering Pines Cabin

We previously stayed at this cabin last year and enjoyed our time again. I truly think this cabin is in the best location of Lake Tahoe. You have access to excellent hiking, not just in the Tahoe region, but also in the Kit Carson area, which has some spectacular hikes. You also have easy access to downtown South Tahoe, but you are far enough away so you don’t have to deal with the noise and excessive traffic. Washoe Meadows, a favorite of our pups, is virtually in this cabin’s backyard, and Fallen Leaf Lake is 10 minutes away. The owners have done a great job creating a warm and inviting cabin full of charm that reflects the mountain location. I dealt with the owner directly on a minor issue and she was lovely. It’s clear she loves her mountain retreat and wants you to equally have a great time in her beautiful forest retreat. We highly recommend this cabin as the ideal base camp for your Tahoe vacation.
