Close drive to lake * Dog OK * Great Family Home

Your whole family will enjoy this warm and welcoming Carnelian Bay retreat, including the dog! The quiet neighborhood is easily walkable to the shores of sparkling Lake Tahoe. Everyone will appreciate the comfort and convenience of this 4+ bedroom, 3 bathroom family cabin with kids' room adjacent to the master, downstairs bedroom for those whom stairs are undesired, bonus media room with sofabed for a 5th sleeping room, front and back decks to enjoy, and very well-appointed kitchen.

As you enter the home into the open-plan living, dining, kitchen, you will be drawn to the new plush sectional sofa inviting you to sit back and relax to watch a game on the new TV, play a game, or have a lively conversation with friends and family. The adjacent dining area has a table with seating for 6 and additional seating at the kitchen bar counter. In the well-appointed kitchen, the cooks in your group will find almost any tools one would need to prepare family-size meals as they chat with friends and family sitting at the bar. There is a brand-new deck out front, where there is a propane grill for summer cookouts, and another deck out back to enjoy a cup of coffee or read a book to the sounds of birds singing in the forest.

There is a queen bedroom downstairs, as well as a "media room", and piano room. The media room is a great lounge for guests of all ages, as it has a TV, toys and games for the kids, as well as a sofa that conveniently folds out to a queen size sofabed. The attached small piano room leads to the back deck and will make you feel like a welcome friend of the family that owns this lovely home. For those who can't leave work behind on vacation, the piano room has a door, and small workspace perfect for a video conference or some quiet concentration. There is a laundry room and shared full bathroom on this main living level.

Upstairs the ceilings are all vaulted. To the left is a private bedroom with a king bed, small desk and a balcony only accessed from this room. To the right are two more rooms. The "twin room" has three twin beds and a full bed. The master bedroom is accessed through the twin room. It is quite spacious, has a king bed and en-suite bathroom. There is an additional full bathroom in the hall on this level.

This lovingly decorated vacation home is sure to be a hit with the whole family. Enjoy being just a short stroll from Lake Tahoe's shores at Carnelian Bay, mini golf and arcade in the summer, a breakfast cafe, a pizzeria/bistro, outdoor lakefront dining and cocktails at Garwoods, as well as hiking and biking trails nearby with no need to drive.

This home has been leased for winter 2021ski from January to May. It is a 20-minute drive to Northstar California Resort and 25 minutes to Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows. Tahoe Cross Country Ski Area is only 9 minutes away, and the home sits on a property that provides plenty of space for the kids to play in the snow right in your yard.

Your family base camp awaits your discovery and Carnelian Bay Tahoe Retreat is sure to charm you into returning year after year.

There will be a $100 pet fee plus tax for each dog upon approval.

Great location, gracious host.
We had the pleasure of staying at this lovely cabin, located close to Watermans Beach in Carnelian Bay. Great location to all our favorite places, hiking, beaches, mini golf, grocery store... The only reason I am giving a four-stars is that we had an issue with the plumbing in the master bathroom on day 2 of our stay, which leaked through the ceiling down to the main floor, not allowing us to use the shower for the duration of the stay. I would also point out that the garbage is small and doesn’t allow for much in the bear cans, so we had to drive our garbage out to the rental agency during their operating hours in Tahoe City. Again great place and location just had a few issues along the way. The rental agency (Jack) was very responsive to our issues and was very helpful.

Don't gather! Hard not to do when there is a group.
Great cabin. However management said we weren't supposed to gather or have a party. Why else would we go? They said we were too noisy. There was another party two doors down going on as well. We have a video of it.

Amazing location!
My family and I really enjoyed staying at this cabin. The layout and size provided the perfect amount of space for 2 small households. The cabin is in good condition and we would stay again. Having to go out of the way to pick up and drop off keys was a drawback. I would suggest employing the use of a digital keypad lock or lockbox to make it more convenient for renters.

So charming!
We enjoyed our recent stay, cute charming house, nice neighborhood and location was so close to beach and mini golf! Plenty of room for my family of 6, and my parents also joined us for a night. It ended up being chilly so we enjoyed doing a puzzle, playing games and watching movies inside! The front deck was great for eating dinner and enjoying the surroundings. The only draw back, which isn’t even really a draw back, was having so many personal pictures throughout, just was surprising for a rental. We’d definitely rent here again!
