The Space:
This adorable little 821 sqft cabin has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps up to 4 people and has parking for 2 car. The owners completely remodeled the kitchen and bathrooms giving the home a modern mountain flare. The young family that owns this home named their abode, “Whispering Pines Cabin” because it’s a quiet retreat for them, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. They like to sit out on their back deck and listen to the trees sway in the wind. They hope their home brings you as much peace, as it does them.

- Pet rules: 1. Please pick up after your pet or you may incur a clean up fee. 2. Do not leave your pets unattended while in the home which is when pet damage is likely. 3. Please keep an eye on your pets while in the backyard as there could be holes in the fence or wildlife close by. 3.

- This home has a gas wall heater in the living room. It takes a min to get going but once it does, it’s nice and toasty in there! Please open bedroom doors while the home is heating up to allow heat to disperse throughout the home.
In addition, there are floor heaters in each bedroom. Setting them to comfort or low setting will take the chill off the room. They can sometimes work too well, so turn them off after the room warms up to avoid overheating.
- The number of overnight occupants shall not exceed two persons per permitted bedroom. Children six years of age or older are counted towards the occupancy limits.

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!

Lovely home in an extremely quiet community. Walking distance to wilderness including a mile walk from door to Paradise Park where you can swim in Barron Lake and play pickleball on eight new courts.

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!

Tahoe vacation

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.

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

Great little spot for our Tahoe getaway. Came with my folks, my husband and my daughter and her partner, and two pups and we all had a great time. Comfortable and cozy for all of us and a good location for snowboarding and lakeside fun.

Perfect cabin in the snow

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location next to the state park that you can easily take a stroll through, winter or summer. We had a nice vacation in the snow and the cabin was the perfect size and beautifully updated for our small family.

Great location and cabin in South Lake Tahoe

The location of this property suited us to a tee. It was easy to get to all of the activities we wanted to explore. It was a great size for us; easy to manage and everything seemed new and easy to navigate. Even close to a great hiking area right out the front door.
