Had a very comfortable and stress free stay during a busy week in South Lake Tahoe. The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming, and let me keep my car parked there past my check out time, when parking around Stateline was at a premium. Appreciate the location, cleanliness and quiet setting, would definitely stay again.
Overall the room was in very poor condition, but bed was comfortable and the location fit our needs….but it really needs come upkeep. We only stayed there because we needed to

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was clean, parking was easy and it's walking distance to the casino. The staff was helpful. Parts of the room were rough like the flooring but, it is a high traffic region. Overall I would stay again at Big Pine.
This was or rather is a great place for a one night stay. The rooms or the hotel seemed to be rather antiquated. There’s no charging area for your phone, so make sure that you bring your phone cord and the box to go into the outlet and the room is also equipped with old-fashioned AC box units. Check-in is at three or four and there’s no one at the front desk to greet you. You have to call a phone number to get service overall was a decent experience close to all amenities outside the hotel the casinos food dining shopping. Again, I would recommend this for a one night day definitely.
The rooms are clean and comfortable, the location is convenient yet peaceful, and the mountain vibe is perfect for relaxing. Friendly staff and a quiet setting make it a great place to stay. Would stay again!
Room was clean and amenities include a TV, fridge and a microwave. The staff was welcoming and friendly. The location was good, close to city center. Overall a relaxed and comfortable stay for us!
The rooms are clean and cozy, the grounds are peaceful, and the mountain lodge vibe makes it feel extra relaxing. Great location and friendly service—perfect for a laid-back Tahoe getaway.
