About this property

Peaceful Escape: 2 BR, 1.5 BA Townhouse in Carnelian Bay, Sleeps 5

  • In a gorgeous setting, this lovely townhome condominum in the Carnelian Woods complex allows you to take in the views of the lake as you sip your morning coffee, either from the balcony or the cozy comfort of your couch. It’s perfectly situated to enjoy both winter and summer activities. In the winter, the condo is halfway between the major ski areas in the west (Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw), Alpine, and Homewood, and the east (Northstar, Mt. Rose, and Diamond Peak), as well as cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice-skating. In the summer, you are right across the street from the lake (kayaking, standup paddle boarding) and close to fantastic hiking, mountain biking, golfing, and the treetop adventure parks.

    The unit is comfortable for families, couples, and solo visitors. The open plan downstairs includes a kitchen, dining area, and living area with gas fireplace. There is an upstairs loft with a king bed and a full bath, and there is a half bath on the main floor along with a bedroom that has a bunk bed and twin bed—perfect for three children or two adults. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, pots, pans, and other utensils. There is a stove, oven, microwave, and dishwasher

    The condo has high-speed Internet and a smart TV in the living room that you can use for streaming. We have plenty of games and puzzles for your offline entertainment. There is an in-unit washer/dryer.

    The condo complex has two hot tubs and a Recreation Center with saunas, a pool table. In the summer, there’s also an outdoor pool, tennis courts, putting green, and 20-stage par-course through the forest.

    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

Cute place that was great for 4 girls. Easy drive to Palisades for skiing and to Tahoe City for restaurants! And there's a nice view of the lake!

Anniversary Destination

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I were married on the lake 25 years ago. We've ventured back to Tahoe ~ 15 times since then and have stayed in Carnelian Woods many of those times. Peaceful Escape offers the best views of the lake of any of those places. Other things we totally enjoyed were the very well appointed kitchen; the unit being clutter free, the fun and funky decor as well as the clean, super comfortable beds and furniture. You'll love it!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Peaceful Escape lived up to its name as a condo was perfect for my 5 day stay - very quiet (with minimal noise from neighbours), equipped as described and with a lovely fireplace that made it homey and cozy, and just right for unwinding and relaxing whilst taking in the fantastic views. It's also close to the car park, making unloading and loading when arriving and leaving super easy. And management (by Trent) is very professional and very quick to respond to any queries. A highly enjoyable stay - thank you!

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in
This is a nice convenient end unit in a quiet townhouse community property with a beautiful top of hill Lakeview. The unit is older, with carpets and countertops that have not been refreshed in decades. In spite of its age and lack of remodel, it is clean, efficient, and well stocked with the essentials needed for a nice stay. My only real complaint is that the specific unit is difficult to locate/access. This unit is managed by a property management company who does provide sporadic emails that are poorly written at best and instructions regarding location and access to the unit were not only a challenge for me, but for several others that I met in the complex who experienced the same. Bottom line the physical address listed is NOT the actual street where the unit is located, the prop.management company references the address used by the county for mail delivery versus the actual street address of the unit. A property map is provided with check in instructions, however that does very little to support the navigation process when you’re entering the address location into your GPS system.

Beautiful Lake Tahoe and Beyond

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A great location for us to stay and take our daily excursions. My late wife first found a VRBO for a stay in our home state of Minnesota. It was during the pandemic and we hadn’t traveled a lot but the home we stayed in was comfortable, clean and well maintained. We were spoiled. Fast forward to the beginning of June 20026. I had looked at a number of locations near Lake Tahoe and settled on Peaceful Escape. It was a choice I would make again. Very nice, clean and comfortable also. We planned day trips for each of our four full days. First Truckee and Donner State park. Tuesday was our drive around the entire lake. We took our time and it took us about 5 hours. Wednesday we drove to Reno and Virginia City returning to the lake on the east shore. Finally Thursday we went to Sand Harbor State Park and ventured out on a two person Kayak. Every day was a success and we knew we had a comfortable place to return to. I’d like to go into much more detail but running out of space. We had a great trip and stay.

NICE ACCOMODATIONS

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Condo was perfect for our small party. Balcony had great view of the lake. Kitchen was stocked with all items needed for cooking and meal prep.Had problems with refrigerator keeping food cold causing beef to rot, milk to curdle. This was truly unfortunate for us and increased our expenses. Rated 3 stars because of this. Rental process was easy and seamless.
