This adorable little 821 sqft cabin has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps up to 6 people and has parking for 2 cars. The owners completely remodelled 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.

HIGHLIGHTS
Pet friendly - 2 dogs max!
Quiet, safe neighborhood
Huge back deck
Fenced yard
Updated with cute decor

HOME NUANCES
- If bringing a pet please contact us to pay the $50.00 per pet fee.
- 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. Keep your pets off the furniture and bedding as pet hair creates a lot of extra cleaning for the team. 4. You are financially responsible for any and all pet related damage including carpet stains and scratches on doors and furniture. 5. 2 DOGS MAX
- 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.

TAHOE RENTAL ORDINANCE
The following laws were set forth by the county and apply to every home in Tahoe. They were put in place to keep Lake Tahoe an enjoyable and safe place to visit for years to come! :)
1. The hot tub cannot be used after 10pm (if this home has one)
2. 10pm - 8am is the county quiet time for all rentals.
3. Trash cannot be left outside and must go into the bear box.
4. We cannot host extra people or allow parties.
5. We cannot accommodate extra cars, parking on the street or dirt.
PLEASE NOTE: Neighbors may alert the police who will issue fines to guests found to be in violation. In order to protect this owner’s permit, we reserve the right to ask guests to leave if this happens.

PET FEE
There is a $50/day pet fee per dog. 2 dogs max. Please contact us after you book to pay this fee. Thank you!

PET RULES
1. 2 Dogs max - unless otherwise approved.
2. Must pick up all poop or there may be a clean up charge.
3. Do not leave pet unattended unless in a crate (this is when damage happens).
4. Keep dogs leashed while on walks in the neighborhood.
5. Keep pets off furniture and bedding or there may be a pet hair removal charge.
6. Please do your best to wipe your pets paws when they come inside to avoid carpet stains.
**You are responsible for any and all pet related damage including carpet cleans and door scratch repair.

IMPORTANT INFO
- QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD: In Tahoe it’s so quiet at night that you could hear a pin drop! As a result, we can only host quieter groups that will abide by all of the county laws. Our guests are normally fine as long as they head inside or to the casinos after 10pm. Appreciate your understanding!
- KEEP TAHOE BLUE: Please help us keep Tahoe a natural wonder by appropriately disposing of trash when visiting our beaches and trails. If you pack it in, please pack it out.
- REVIEWS: We kindly ask for understanding and compassion when sharing feedback about this home, just as we strive to approach responding to reviews with empathy. We understand that experiences can vary, and what might not meet one person's expectations could exceed another person’s expectations. Your reviews have a lasting impact on the home and its owner, who are real people behind the scenes. We genuinely value your input and appreciate constructive feedback that can help us enhance our offerings.
- TRAVEL INSURANCE: We highly recommend that all of our lovely guests purchase travel insurance as we normally do not refund for Covid, smoke, fires, weather, snow storms, road closures, etc. 
- WINTER TRAVEL ADVISORY: After the historic Winter of 2023, we recommend 4WD vehicles with snow tires, tire chains and experience driving in the snow. Emphasis on snow tires. Tahoe roads are icy and power outages are common. Please always wear snow boots and walk with care on icy pathways.
- BBQ/DECKS IN WINTER: Due to snow levels and freezing temps, BBQs are not serviced and decks are not shovelled during the Winter but if you can dig it out and there is propane - feel free to use!
- LATE CHECK OUT: Please let us know 24 hours prior to check out, if you wish to request a late check out. First hour is free then $25/hour after that, not to exceed 1pm. Please note our cleaners sometimes travel for up to 1 hour to clean this home so we ask that you please respect the 10am check out time.
- NO AC: Like most homes in Tahoe, there is no AC but we do provide plenty of fans.
- HIGH FIRE RISK: Lake Tahoe is a high-risk fire area. Fireworks, wood fire pits, smoking/improper disposal of cigarette butts and charcoal bbq’s are prohibited.
- BLACK BEARS: Black bears inhabit Lake Tahoe and are attracted to food and trash. Always lock your car doors, roll up windows and view from afar. Please do not feed our bears.
- TOWELS: We supply one bath towel, one wash cloth per occupant and then one hand towel per bathroom.
- SECURITY: Most of our homes have exterior-only security cameras and noise decibel monitoring systems to ensure we are in compliance with the county ordinance but we take our guests privacy VERY seriously. There is never indoor cameras. Most owners only look to see bears and snow levels at their homes :)
- MOUNTAIN CRITTERS: It’s not uncommon at any home in Tahoe to find little mountain mice, spiders, spider webs, ants, mosquitos, etc. Our homes have on-going extermination services but despite our best efforts, these little critters might make their way inside. If found it doesn’t mean a home is dirty, let us know and we will do our best to mitigate such findings.

Thank you and happy travels!

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.
