Relaxing Carnelian Bay Retreat - within walking distance to lake

Close to all that Lake Tahoe has to offer, this updated and family-friendly home is surrounded by mature pine trees at the end of a quiet cul de sac, and features large decks, beautiful alder woodwork throughout, a renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a floor to ceiling river rock wood burning fireplace and large welcoming living spaces. Four bedrooms and two baths on two stories with a loft, provides sleeping accommodation for 10 with 3 queen beds, an extra twin, and a bunk room. After a day on the lake (a short 5 minute walk away), settle into the sunken seating area in front of the stone fireplace, shoot some pool on the antique pool table, or hang outside and enjoy a drink on the large furnished decks. The home is equipped with wifi, cable, flat screen TV, wood-burning fireplace, full kitchen, a new Weber gas grill, pool table, washer/dryer, a game closet and an accessible locker for guests with snow and water play items.

This home is the perfect location for all-year relaxation, fun, recreation and Lake Tahoe memories. It is within walking distance of the lake, miniature golf and places to eat and drink, including Gar Woods Grill & Pier. There are also two boat launches and recreation areas within five miles if you want to get out on the water in your kayak, paddle board, or boat. Northstar Ski Resort is only 11 miles away, and 16 ski resorts are within 30 miles of the home. The home is also locally managed to provide an excellent guest experience.

You must be 25 years or older to rent this property, and there are no pets or smoking allowed. Occupancy Limit -- 10 Adults.

We had a great stay! We recently stayed here on a family ski trip to nearby Northstar. The house was very clean and livable, and access and communication with the owners were easy- the fireplace was a great bonus! We'd love to stay here again in the future!

This was the perfect setting for our 3 generation family - infant, 4yr old to seniors. Relaxing on the shaded deck and outdoor dining was perfect plus an amazingly stocked kitchen. Good location for beach access and restaurants. We highly recommend this lovely home.

Perfect Winter getaway
The place was just as described and perfect for our ski vacation. Fully stocked kitchen made it a breeze to cook. Kids loved the living room pit and played there all the time.

Ourselves and another family of four enjoyed our stay here. The kids loved the sunken living area in front of fire with all the pillows. We rode both Homewood and North Star and the house was located right in the middle of both.

Everything you’d ever need.
The cabin was great. Very clean when we arrived. Bedrooms and bathrooms were all very well kept. Plenty of towels and toiletries. The owners were very communicative with any questions I had and briefly met the property manager who cleared some now to give us parking for another car. Great location near ski resorts. Would stay here again.

A great time was had!
We had a great stay at this home. The house is very cozy and warm, We enjoyed the nice fireplace each evening. If you are a bit of a walker, you can walk down to the lake. We did a bit of skiing at both Northstar and Palisades, we enjoyed a trip over to Truckee and to South Lake Tahoe. The house has everything you need, bring yourself and clothes, you will enjoy your time here!

Perfect for the Family
We had such a wonderful time here. We stayed with our friends who also have 2 small children and having separate wings to the house really helped. The in ground seating in the living room is where we spent most of our time hanging out. Overall, the place was awesome!
