About this property

Adorable Lakefront Cabin Complex, with Pier/Buoy, Sandy Beach, shared Deck & Dog Friendly

Escape to Pine Cove Cottage #2, a quaint lakeside retreat on Tahoe's North Shore, perfect for couples or small families seeking a peaceful getaway. Set within a private six-unit complex, this cozy cabin offers access to the sandy beaches of Lake Tahoe, a shared homeowners' pier, deck, and access to a boat buoy (available on a first-come, first-serve basis) for lake adventures. With stunning surroundings and year-round activities nearby, this delightful cabin promises the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. Please note there is only one parking space allocated for each cabin.

Step into a warm and inviting living space featuring a gas fireplace, perfect for chilly Tahoe evenings. A cozy alcove with a twin bed offers additional sleeping space or a peaceful spot to relax with a book. The separate bedroom, complete with a queen-sized bed, provides a private and comfortable retreat. The fully-equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare your favorite meals, while outside, a shared sunny deck with outdoor seating and a propane BBQ (summers only) invites you to unwind and enjoy the serene lake views.

In the summer, Pine Cove Cottage #2 is a dream come true for outdoor enthusiasts. Start your day with a stroll on the sandy beach just steps from your door. Kings Beach, only minutes away, offers water sports, paddleboarding, and lakeside dining. Hike scenic trails, tee off at nearby golf courses, or enjoy the vibrant local farmers' markets. After a day of adventure, gather on the deck to watch the sunset over the lake.

In winter, this cabin transforms into a cozy haven for snow sports lovers. Northstar Ski Resort is just a 6.7 miles away, with Palisades Tahoe and Alpine Meadows only 16 miles away. Spend your days skiing, snowboarding, or snowshoeing through Tahoe's winter wonderland. Afterward, return to the cabin to warm up by the fire or head into Kings Beach for dining, shopping, and après-ski entertainment. The convenience and charm of Pine Cove Cottage #2 make it a perfect base for winter adventures.

Perfect little spot and great location

We stayed for Thanksgiving. You walk out the door and the Lake is right there. Absolutely breathtaking. Safeway is a one minute drive away, Northstar is a 10-15 minute drive away. It was great. The cabin was clean, the bed was comfy, and the kitchen was stocked for our Thanksgiving cooking needs.

Gem

Great location. Charming small cabin equipped with all essentials for a comfortable stay. Steps to the lake. Barbecue on your own deck which is easy to operate and works great. Bed in the bedroom is comfortable and very clean. Sofa beds in living room are more like mats on wood and not comfortable at all. They are also very worn. Overall this is a great place for a getaway.

Nice cabin

Pine coves #2 nice cozy cabin it is beachfront property and close to everything but it needs updating. Shower is very small for my 6'4 husband. It is pet friendly and my dog has a place to run around. Communication is great. Overall, if we have to go back to Lake Tahoe we will surely stay in this place again.

Hit the spot!

This place is/was such a gem - right on the lake in a chill little complex with the beach + deck & pier, just steps from the front door. It’s just a cozy vibe with everything you need, and nothing you don’t! It’s not well marked (part of why it’s a hidden gem;)) so definitely map it & consolidate into 1 car - parking is limited. Would stay here again (:

Fall Paradise

Lovely 1 bedroom cottage just short steps to lakefront. Fully equipped, clean, cozy and view of the lake. Lovely deck with patio furniture and easy access to beach with boat dock, which is pleasant to sit on and enjoy the sunrise. Conviently located to great hikes, restaurants and Safeway. Barbaqued a lovely steak dinner on the propane grill conveniently located just off our porch. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice location near Kings Beach

The private beach and dock are wonderful! Close to kings beach, shopping, & dining. The cleanliness wasnt great, bathroom trash was full when we arrived, including dirty diapers; and the bedding could have used a refresh. We loved the fireplace and the kitchen is well stocked with nice cookware, but overall the property is relatively run down. The second twin bed is quite old and hard. Ultimately its a nice stay, but some basic repairs and simple upgrades could make it great.

We've stayed at Pine Cove Cottages for many years, although this was the first time at #2. Couldn't get either TV to work, but that wasn't really an issue as we don't go to Tahoe to watch TV. All in all, a very nice place to stay, and you can't beat the location, right on the lake with a private dock. Highly recommended!

Fantastic!

The quaintness of this little enclave of cottages, cleanliness and close proximity to Lake Tahoe was fantastic! We tried to extend our stay because we were having such a great experience, but this cute little home was already booked for the same day we were scheduled to check out. We are hoping that it is available again next July because we would like to come back for a longer stay. We had only one tiny snag - it gets quite warm in the afternoon in July and there was only one small table fan at the site. Luckily, we brought a couple of box fans from home just in case. It would be nice to have more fans at the home so we don't need to bring our own. Again - this is such a tiny issue, but I at least wanted to mention it in case it helps someone else plan for their summer stay. This in no way impacted our review or overall satisfaction - we are very happy and satisfied with the experience and want to come back:) Thank you to the owners and management company for such a great experience!

Tahoe time

Cozy and clean, dog-friendly cabin right on the lake. Couldn't ask for a better location! The cabin is much roomier than pictures show. Perfect size for our small family. Enjoyed easy access (stairs) to the beach and the fireplace after our walks (it was a cool weekend). You can also walk to the grocery store; driving takes just a few minutes.. We'll be back!

Great location but needs serious updating

Location was perfect but this property is in some need of serious updating. The bed in the master bedroom caves in and the bedding looked very worn and dirty (like it hadn't been washed in a while). The padding that is on the window seat (what is meant to be the "couch") is so flat and uncomfortable, it feels like you're just sitting on a piece of wood. The bathroom faucet has no water pressure and the handle is about to come loose (we ended up washing our faces and brushing our teeth in the kitchen). There were multiple lightbulbs out (but we notified the property management company and they were quick to drop some off). The location is amazing and we enjoyed the access to the lake but for the price and and condition of the home, we would not stay here again.

Charming Setting

We had a lovely stay. The location was easy to get to and great place to stay for skiing at Northstar. Super adorable cottage and courtyard and beach access. The home and furniture and appointments were all on the older side and well worn. Kitchen has most of what we needed, but could have used a few more essentials. The shower stall was tiny and leaked a bit. The deadbolt lock needed replaced as the key stuck. The electric baseboard heaters were noisy and the cover was coming off in most spots. But that all is pretty minor and all and all we enjoyed our stay and would stay again! Thank you!

Great location, quaint cabin

The cabin and furnishings are worn but it was well kept and a great location. There was only one window we could see the lake from, but I sure enjoyed that view! The ‘dog basket’ listed in rules wasn’t there. We left a message and never heard back. Contactless, seamless check in and out. View from share deck was great and we enjoyed ourselves! Thank you.

Great beach access! Close to shopping and restaurants. This property is dated, dimly lit and the furnishings are uncomfortable and need to be updated. The shower is only good for short people. My husband is 6 foot and the shower hit him the lower chest. The bathroom sink faucet is loose and has low water pressure. Exterior landscaping is beautiful having been recently refreshed. The deck is awesome.
