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.

This spot was perfect for a ski weekend with friends. Liked that there were multiple bedrooms and beds, allowing many folks to have their own bed. Dave was easy to communicate with throughout the booking process and leading up to the weekend.
