8/10 Very good

Staff were great and room was clean.
Nikolas, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room wasn't the cleanest it could use a good deep clean but everything else ok. I like that its pet friendly and not to far from the beach
Mariah, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Easy late checkin! The staff called us and provided straightforward instructions. The room was basic but totally good for a night sleep. The walls are a little thin so you may have trouble sleeping in when the town wakes up and everyone is starting to get ready for the mountain.
Maryana, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was adequate. Dirty microwave and bed skirt. Satellite tv only worked about 5-10% of the time.
Lorri, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Room was dirty, room lights didn’t work, bad smell. We left early after one night.
Richard, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location and price.
Kelsey, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location is truly unbeatable—just a short, easy walk to Heavenly Village, the casinos, and the lake! The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Great value for such a prime spot!
Caden, 1-night trip

Outdated and dirty
Julian, 2-night trip

We loved our stay.
Sabina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms are comfortable and pet-friendly, the staff is helpful, and you’re just steps from the lake, shops, and Heavenly Gondola. It’s the perfect home base for outdoor adventures without breaking the bank!
Valeria,, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Big Pines Mountain House gave us that classic Tahoe vibe — woodsy, welcoming, and walkable to everything. The room was spacious and clean, and we loved the easy access to the lake and Heavenly Village. Great spot for a relaxed mountain getaway!
Matthew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. I really liked the bunkbeds for the kids. Very close to the beach.
Arthur, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very noisy OLD heater. Difficult to sleep with such noise. Mattress was not all that comfortable. Kitchen was ok. Carpet was not well cleaned. I will not go back to this place again.
Rakesh, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Walking distance to Heavenly Village, casinos, shops, and eateries. Whether you want slope time or lake time, everything’s close enough that driving becomes optional.
Shannon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. They offered great local tips and made me feel genuinely welcome throughout my stay. The location is perfect, close to everything while still being quiet and peaceful at night.
Marissa, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

An okay room but very close to caesar’s and the strip. They had their lobby doors locked until 4pm and their phone number is an offsite number. Not exactly reachable unless you’ve checked in. We checked in and had a dirty room, hair in between each layer of the bed, obvious unmopped floors and a clump of hair on the shower wall. It was fixed within 30 minutes- but very disappointing after a 4 hour commute to Tahoe.
Jazmin Leilani, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

There is no remote for TV. Light in the dining area is out. No phone in the room to contact at least the receiving area. Heater barely accomodate the winter cold. Receptionist not accomodating. Will no longer stay there in the future.
MARITTY, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was not so clean. We will be coming back it's a good place to stay for a good little getaway!
Rudolph, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Bed good . Pillows nice, soft.
James, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean, spacious, and had everything I needed, including a fridge, microwave, and comfortable bed. I loved that some rooms even have a fireplace — perfect for those chilly Tahoe nights! I’d definitely recommend Big Pines Mountain House to anyone looking for a laid-back, affordable stay close to all the Tahoe action. I’ll be back for sure!
Beau, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Ron was very greacious. He gave us a quiet and accomodating room with parking in front of it.
KAMRAN, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The main thing i appreciated was that Ron (i believe that was his name) put us in a room somewhat secluded at the back of the property. I loved that Big Pines was animal friendly. Highly recommend!
LASEYL, 2-night trip

We always stay here for the Celebrity Golf tournament. It’s right in the heart of everywhere we want to be and very convenient and affordable.
