Summer stay

The property was good to stay at for a family of 5 and while we were able to manage with our 18m old, it wasn't as convenient for traveling with an infant. Was a nice neighborhood and convenient location overall.

Great Location and Space

We stayed here in December with our kiddos and small dog. The location was fabulous and the house was super cozy. More than enough space for the family. Property management was very responsive when we had questions. There were lots of little spaces but would be hard for multiple families unless someone wants to sleep in the romper room (which was huge by the way) with kiddos. Would definitely recommend.

Older Cabin in GREAT location!

This was the perfect vacation house for our two girls and their friends. My husband and I stayed in the down stairs bedroom while the rest of the kids (16-20 years old) stayed in the upstairs dorm style bedroom. Only a couple issues included that the WIFI didn’t work (in all fairness the snow and weather could have been a factor and I didn’t call the rental company do help- it was kind of nice to be off line) and not enough towels but we just washed them in the washer and dryer and I also could have called the rental company but didn’t so that’s on me. It’s definitely an older cabin but it was the perfect place for our situation. The rental company was very communicative and very helpful. And the SNOW was amazing!!

Nice local and enjoyed front room, kitchen and deck area. Apple tv was nice. internet worked well except last day got a little spotty and not sure what happened. some pepper to complement salt would have been nice in a pinch to put on bbq. I swept deck areas but was heavy due to pine pollen, neighbors were partying and a bit obnoxious into the late nite but it was pre 4th of July and not shocked to hear

Great Centralized Location for Families in North Lake Tahoe

We really enjoyed our stay here. The upstairs room with multiple beds was perfect for the kids. The extra fans were definitely helpful and helped the place stay relatively cool. The outdoor deck with table and seating was awesome for meals. There is very little space available for indoor seating during meal time. However, this is not an issue during summer when it is relatively warm. I imagine this would be a bigger issue during winter. Some extra bath towels would have been appreciated. Overall, a great property for families that is centrally located to both Kings Beach and Tahoe City and a short 20 minute drive to Truckee. Thank you!

Do not stay here!

The biggest complaint was the immediate smell of urine once we entered the property! Stains were found on the bedroom carpets and pet hair on all the bed linen. The unit was obviously filthy and not cleaned prior to our stay. We had to air out the cabin as soon as we got there. Our family purposely stayed out of the rental all day to avoid the condition of cabin. We own a small (non-shedding) dog that traveled with us and was never left alone in the rental, which was originally why we chose a pet friendly vrbo. The rental agency is now trying to stick us with a cleaning bill for the carpets! I would advise anyone looking in the Tahoe area to avoid this group of rentals. This is what we get for sucking it up and not complaining the moment we arrived.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 August 2022
Sara, thank you for your feedback. Let's begin with reminding you to absolutely make our office aware of any issues upon your arrival. We can not do anything to improve your stay if you do not make us aware of your concerns. The carpets were professionally cleaned upon your departure, and as we followed up with you, you are aware we absolutely did not charge you at all for the carpet cleaning. The home was thoroughly cleaned by a professional housekeeping staff before your arrival, and was also inspected by the field team, there was no trace of dirt, grime or dander before your arrival. We apologize if you were unsatisfied, we have not had these complaints regarding this property before and regret that you did not allow us to remedy any of your issues.

Cabin at Carnelian Bay

Cabin reminded me of our old family cabin in truckee. Great location and very fun to have all beds in one room. Creates a different level of bonding laughing and telling stories. The weather that weekend was a white out blizzard so we were looking forward to decompress once roads opened and were finally plowed and accessible. The weather knocked out the cable lines so there was no internet or tv… it made things better in the end because everyone had to play games , play in the snow or talk! 😂 The drive way is perfectly sloped for sledding. We made a huge snowman on the back porch. You can walk to a very nice cafe for breakfast/ lunch. The beach is a block away ( maybe 2) The house and the beach are pet friendly. My dog had just as much fun as the rest of us. I would love to return! There were a couple issues but were promptly dealt with and mostly resolved. Dealing with Cindy was great she communicates well. I can’t wait to return to the house and have another lovely weekend with the family.
