Good beds, warm room, 10 minute walk in ski boots to the gondola. For the money, a heckuva good deal.
No hot tub, no breakfast, but that was disclosed.

I really enjoyed my stay at Big Pines Mountain House in South Lake Tahoe. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, which made for a very relaxing experience. The in-room amenities were thoughtfully provided and added extra convenience to the stay. The location is another big plus close to the main attractions, dining, and shopping, while still offering a cozy mountain feel. Overall it is a great place to stay for comfort, convenience, and a pleasant Tahoe experience. I would definitely recommend it and would happily stay here again.

We reached the property at 10.30am and wanted to only park our car so we don’t have to pay for parking to go to gondola. However we were told we can check right then when check in was at 4. This was an excellent perk. Rooms were big. Good bed, good heating. Big washroom, microwave, fridge! It had it all. It’s 5mins walk to gondola
And most shops and village walkable
The parking area had black ice and people were slipping and falling. It would be great if cleaned

It was very loud you could hear people talking in the rooms next to you. You could hear everytime someone walked up stairs. The bed was like a rock. I left a day early and did not get a refund. Just now called to try to get it again the man on the phone was very rude he hung up on me i dont recomend this place its very bad.

Location is good.
Window does not close completely leaving a small gap which lets in the cold air outside. In the winter, it is very cold by the window even with the heater on.

The room was spotless, comfortable, and had a warm, rustic charm that fit perfectly with the mountain setting. The property itself is peaceful and inviting, with outdoor areas that are great for enjoying the fresh air and tall pines. Its location is ideal close to the lake, shops, dining, and all other activities.

There was no hot water. I couldn’t even take a shower the night I booked it or in the morning because the waster was cold. I asked them to come check and they said they couldn’t until Monday and then said everything worked after I had left and it did not. There was a huge hole in the bed.

The room was clean, comfortable, and had that cozy mountain-lodge feel that makes Tahoe such a special place. I loved having a little extra space to relax, and the bed was very comfortable after long days of hiking and sightseeing.

This was our second year staying in Tahoe … From check in to check out, everything was great! … The location is quiet, close to all of the main South Lake Tahoe attractions and within a 10-minute walk to the lake. … Make sure to grab a lake voucher from the front desk so you don’t pay full price to have access to the beach.

Big Pines Mountain House provides a cozy, welcoming stay with clean rooms, friendly staff, and an ideal location close to the lake, trails, and village attractions.
10.0 / 10.0
The location is a standout — just a short walk from the gondola, the lake, and the restaurants in town. Rooms come with nice extras like a microwave, mini-fridge, and coffee maker — especially useful for budget-minded stays. For the rate you’re paying, it can offer decent value if you don’t mind simplicity.

I like that it’s close the beach.
It’s pretty much ugly outdated but for one night can’t really complain.

The location is absolutely perfect, just a short walk to Heavenly Village, the Gondola, and the casinos—you truly can park your car and forget about it. Our room was cozy and had everything we needed, including a microwave and mini-fridge. For the price, this motel is a great value and the ideal base camp for a fun Tahoe adventure!

The staff was friendly and accomodated us promptly.
My only complaint is what I consider false advertising on the website. It boasted having a pool and a cozy fireplace in the lobby, neither of which were available.

When we arrived we were bummed to find that out room was on the second floor, but that was our fault for not specifying that we wanted a down stairs room. Our room didn't have a bath tub so I called the office and the next day and for the rest of our stay they put us in a room downstairs with a king bed and a bathtub. Everything in the room worked (tv, microwave, remote control, fridge, iron and ironing board and hairdryer). The staff was friendly and on top of anything else that we needed (extra pillows, towels and etc.) we asked and they brought it right away. We had a pleasant stay once we changed rooms. The casinos were nearby as well as restaurants and other stores. Good location. Parking was fine. At night it was nice and quiet. Overall it was a good experience. I would recommend it to others. They also have a laundry room there, the washer and dryer worked good .
The room floor was a bit dirty, turned the bottom of my white socks dirty
