    Great Escape - This beautifully renovated 3-bedroom located within the Carnelian Woods is sure to please.

    First floor of this stylish Lake Tahoe home away from home:
    The primary bedroom includes a comfortable king-size bed and features a cozy armchair and flat panel TV and patio balcony to enjoy your forest views. The guest bedroom, which is down the hall from the primary features two bunk beds. Both bedrooms share a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo.

    Head upstairs to the living area which features an open living area with vaulted ceilings, a cozy gas fireplace, and a flat-screen TV. A charming balcony off the living room invites you to enjoy the alpine scenery. The updated kitchen is sure to please and has a delightful breakfast bar with seating for four. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area accommodates four guests. There is also a full bath with a tub/shower combo on this level.

    Head up to the loft bedroom, where you will find a comfortable queen size murphy bed.

    The grounds outside feature lovely landscaping, and there is so much to do, you'll have a hard time deciding: a game of tennis, swimming in the seasonal pool, soaking in the hot tub, playing billiards at the clubhouse, taking on the parcourse, or hiking and biking on the trails right at Carnelian Woods.

    This unit is one of the closest to the lake and your home away from home is in Carnelian Bay, where all north Lake Tahoe is right at your doorstep! Stroll down to Magic Carpet mini golf or check out Waterman’s Landing, located at Patton Landing Beach, a 3-acre, pebbly beach known for stand-up paddling.

    To experience Lake Tahoe gambling and nightlife, Incline Village and Nevada's historic casino Crystal Bay are a short drive away, just across the state line.

    Closer to home, you'll find superb dining options right in town like Gar Woods Grill and Pier for steaks and fish, the Old Post Office Coffee Shop for hearty breakfasts, and CB's Pizza for hand-tossed pies and beer.

    You're only 10-12 miles from three great ski resorts—Northstar, Alpine Meadows, and Squaw Valley. Whether you prefer to downhill or cross-country ski, snowboard, snowshoe, or go sledding or ice skating, North Tahoe is the place for every winter activity.

    At Squaw Valley, after conquering the slopes, go tubing with the kids or try out the mini snowmobiles at SnoVentures Activity Zone. There are dogsledding tours too!

    Year round, the Village at Squaw Valley offers dining, shopping, the Squaw Valley Aerial Tram, and a variety of activities.

    In the summer, ride the Aerial Tram to High Camp then choose a scenic trail and walk or hike in one of the most breathtaking places in the world! At 8,200 feet elevation, admire the beauty of the Sierra Nevada Mountains with views of Lake Tahoe and Squaw Valley's legendary granite peaks. In the Aerial Tram building lobby, kids and grownups can have a blast climbing the variety of routes on the 30’ simulated Headwall Climbing Wall. If you dare, learn how to do a front or back somersault at Skyjump; all ages are welcome.

    NOTE: Carnelian Woods Amenities: Hot Tubs are Typically open daily. Pool and Tennis open summer only. Amenity access never guaranteed. Please check website for availability: carnelianwoodsorg

Perfect, quiet location

Our family loved this property. The location is very quiet, the condo was SUPER clean. Being a germaphobe, that meant a lot to me. We walked to the beach every day. The community pool is huge and lovely, but we only went once because, well, the beach...Property management was easily reachable and helpful. If we ever make it back to Tahoe, we would choose this property again. We did not end up bringing our dog with us, but the location would have been perfect for her as well!

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in
Location for us worked out great. Accommodations were fair. However, finding out the hot tub is closed for two weeks was a major letdown. We were really looking forward to the hot tub at the end of the day. Plus the drains in the restroom don't drain very good. Might need a little drain cleaning. We enjoyed our weekend overall. God bless.

Quiet location with nice trails that were perfect for walking with the family. Close to the beach, and the grocery store was very nearby. The place was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. Instructions were clear, privacy was respected, and both check-in and check-out were easy.Our kids loved staying in the bunk bed room and they loved it! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook family dinners, and there were many great restaurants close by as well. We go to Tahoe every year, and this has been the best place we’ve stayed so far. Thank you for the great and fast communication!

Great Reunion Locale

Several cousins met at Lake Tahoe for a reunion. Three couples stayed at our rental. The features offered were wonderful. The only disadvantage were the stairs as they presented a problem for some of our guests. I should have been more aware in selecting the rental. Other than that, we had a great time.

Great location at the right price

Everything was as advertised. Very clean and neat. I spent a lot of time in the kitchen and sometimes condo rental kitchens can be hit or miss. This one has everything I needed. Close proximity to the lake made it easy for us to get some great family pics. Twice I reached out to office about about small issues and they were prompt in replying. We had a great stay

Carnelian Bay Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo itself was nice. It was clean and pleasant. However we did have an incident where my granddaughter fractured her fingers a few days before our rental period. We asked to reschedule our stay by a couple of weeks and we were told we would completely forfeit our money and there was no accommodation for emergencies. They did say if they could re rent the property in 2 days we may get some refund. Clearly that is a very low probability. I wish due to an emergency they would have been more accommodating. We were willing to provide proof and pictures. As it was 3 of the 8 people came the 1st day and 3 came the second and we left the 2nd night. We made the best of it but the trip was ruined.

This house was wonderful for my family and I (5 adults and three children). The house was very clean and cozy. We were right across the street from a cute coffee shop and then just 10 minutes from Kings Beach, which was so beautiful! We realized the grill was slightly smaller than pictured, but that wasn’t too much of an issue. Oh and be sure to hold the handle for the whole flush in the second (main) floor restroom otherwise, the water runs. Those are small things, for the price and location, and ease of check-in, this place was great!
