About this property
Chalet-Style w/ Hot Tub + Theater Room + Pool Table | Mins to Lake | Timberline
Tucked into the pines above Carnelian Bay, Timberline is a moody, chalet-style retreat where soaring vaulted windows, modern architectural design, and a wraparound deck framed by trees set the tone from the driveway up. The home was built to make the most of its setting — natural light pours through the massive windows by day, and at night the deck opens up to dark skies, fresh mountain air, and the kind of quiet you only get on the North Shore.
Inside, the layout balances drama with comfort. Five chic bedrooms and six contemporary bathrooms give the home room to spread out, while three distinct living spaces keep groups happily separated when needed: a rec room with a pool table downstairs, a dedicated theater room with a projector screen and theater seating for movie nights, and an upstairs common area for slower mornings and après gatherings. Every level reads like a polished, design-forward take on the classic Tahoe cabin.
Step outside and the deck takes over. An outdoor dining table and seating area sit perched among the treetops, the hot tub bubbles year-round for stargazing soaks, and a firepit anchors the evening for long conversations under the Sierra sky. With the surrounding pines absorbing most of the noise, it's the kind of outdoor setup that quietly becomes the favorite room in the house.
The North Shore opens up just down the hill. Carnelian Bay's pebbled beaches and the lake's famously clear waters are a three-minute drive — Patton Beach, Carnelian West, and the Kings Beach shoreline are all within easy reach for paddleboarding, swimming, kayaking, and lakefront dinners. In winter, Northstar California is about ten minutes away with full-service ski access, and Palisades Tahoe sits a quick drive south for those chasing legendary terrain. Tahoe City and the historic mountain town of Truckee round out the area with shops, breweries, and farm-to-table dining. Whether you're chasing powder, lake days, or just a stretch of time off-grid, Timberline gives you a stylish home base with the best of Tahoe at the doorstep.

Situated in the snowy Sierra Nevada Mountain range straddling the border between California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe offers stunning panoramic scenery and year-round adventure. Visitors flock here especially to ski and snowboard on dramatic slopes that seem to fall into the abyss of the lake’s cobalt blue water.

Overall we had a great stay. Some hiccups but Avantstay made the overall stay better. They were very communicative and I felt like I always had someone there to help. The home does need updates but overall good for a bigger group.

Thank you for the 5 stars, Reilly! We would love the opportunity to host you again for an even more fun trip! Our 24/7 support team is available to ensure you have everything you need for a wonderful next stay.
The cabin was awesome for our group. However being a luxury cabin there were certain elements that were not to standard given the price to stay here. All showers are backed up, game room and theater room needs a refresh, thrashed. Dishwasher was disgusting, put or order and had mold growing in it. Other then that, we enjoyed our stay.
The house was located in a great neighborhood with a 20 min drive to Palisades ski resort. Overall the house was nice, but its ready for some updating. My biggest complaint was the wifi, it would come and go and the TV Theater room never worked because of it. We also cooked often, but sadly the cookware was in bad shape. If they fix the wifi and freshen up the house furniture and cookware it would be a much better property and inline with the rate charged.
