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.

Afterward, return to the cabin to warm up by the fire or head into Kings Beach for dining, shopping, and après-ski entertainment.

    What Guests Love Most About Pine Cove Cottage #2
    Guests can't stop talking about how they are within steps to the sandy shore and shared pier making lake days effortless — no long drives, just walk out and soak it all in. The cabin is described as cozy, charming, with a well-equipped kitchen and living space anchored by a gas fireplace that makes chilly Tahoe evenings feel warm and inviting. The private beach access and old Tahoe charm all contribute to the sense of a relaxing lakeside retreat. Clean, welcoming, and perfectly positioned, this cottage is loved for its blend of ease, character, and prime lake access.

    *** The WIFI connection is good but not guaranteed
    *** BBQ is not available in the winter months
    *** This home is dog-friendly. Up to 2 dogs are allowed at a $100 (plus tax) per dog and a signed pet agreement
    *** The Host Fee includes your Departure Clean, Damage Waiver Protection, and Admin fee
    *** Waterfront complex (unit sits back 1 condo from the lake)
    *** This is a charming older Tahoe cabin with classic character rather than modern luxury finishes. What it may lack in updates, it makes up for with an incredible location in a private lakefront complex, offering access to the sandy beach, shared pier, and a lakeside deck where you can soak in beautiful Lake Tahoe views.

    Tahoe Time Vacation Rentals is a locally owned and operated, boutique-style company—not a large nationwide chain. As a small, family-run business, we take pride in offering a personalized, hands-on approach to hospitality. Our homes are carefully selected and located in the quieter, more scenic areas of Lake Tahoe, including the California North Shore, Olympic Valley, Alpine Meadows, the West Shore down to Rubicon Bay, and the Palisades at Tahoe ski area.

    What makes our company stand out is our dedication to being here for you. As long-time locals (thirty plus years), we are always available to assist with your stay, ensuring a seamless and memorable Tahoe experience from booking to check-out. Whether you're here for adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, we're committed to making your time in Tahoe truly special.

    REQUIRED COUNTY STR PERMIT INFORMATION: STR 22-6658 | TOT #624258 | Max Occupancy is 3 | 1 Parking Spaces. Parking on the street is strictly prohibited. All vehicles must be parked in the driveway and/or garage at all times. Guest must agree to read and comply with Placer County's Good Neighbor Policies.

    County Rules
    As part of the Short-Term Rental Permit for this home, the county asks that we share the important rules and regulations with you. We appreciate your cooperation in following the guidelines listed below, also included in your signed Vacation Rental Agreement.

    Maximum Occupancy: There shall be no gatherings, events, weddings or other group functions on the Premises with more people than the number of persons stated on the Agreement.

    Parking: Parking on the street is prohibited at all times. All cars, boats, and trailers must be parked in the garage and/or driveway.

    Quiet Hours: Quiet hours are 9pm-8am, seven days a week. Per the County: No sound may be audible from the property line during quiet hours. Amplified sound (such as speakers) shall not be used outside or be audible from the parcel line of any short-term rental at any time.

    Lights Out: All exterior lights must be turned off that are not needed for safety or other outdoor use to the extent that such other outdoor use is not an unreasonable nuisance to neighbors at night.

    Red Flag Warnings: Due to high risk of wildfire in our area, bonfires, charcoal barbecues, and wood-burning fire pits are always prohibited. On designated Red Flag Warning Days—when fire danger is especially severe due to dry conditions and high winds—all outdoor fires are prohibited, including gas grills and gas fire pits. These restrictions come directly from the North Tahoe Fire Protection District and must be followed for everyone's safety. It is each guest's responsibility to stay informed about Red Flag Warnings. They are announced on local news, radio, and social media, and you'll also see signs posted at fire stations throughout the area.

    Winter Driving: Many highways, access roads, and driveways in the Tahoe area can become icy during the winter. For your safety, it's essential that between November 1st and April 30th your vehicle is winter-ready. Make sure brakes, windshield wipers, defroster, heater, and exhaust system are in top condition. Tires should be properly inflated with excellent tread, and you should always carry tire chains—even if you have an AWD/4WD vehicle. Double-check that your chains fit your tires and are in good working order. On many state highways and county roads, four-wheel drive and snow tires are required for safe travel.
    Please be prepared for winter conditions: dress appropriately, stay in bounds at ski resorts and if you get lost, remain in place.

    Garbage & Bears: Please do not feed the bears. Black bears are very common in this area and, over time, many have become used to human food and trash. Because they no longer have a natural fear of people, you may see them during your spring, summer, or fall stay. Feeding bears is illegal, and leaving food outside, trash unsecured, or doors and windows unlocked can lead to serious property damage to both homes and vehicles. To help prevent this, all waste must be placed in bear-proof bins or dumpsters and the latches secured. Placer County sorts recycling from the waste for you at our materials recovery facilities.

    Office Holiday Hours
    The TTVR office is closed on New Year's Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Therefore, we are unable to accommodate check-ins and check-outs on these dates. Thank you for understanding.
