Large hot tub and fire pit on the deck, plus high-end gas barbeque and firepit in summer months. Deck seats 12 for dinner.
LOCATION -- Great access to Tahoe's largest network of hiking and mountain biking trails directly behind the house. Also great for walking on quiet, private streets. Great for snow-shoes in winter. 5-minute drive or10-minute downhill walk to private beach and pier (walking back is strenuous uphill). Kayak and paddleboards for your private use. Easy winter access to skiing at Palisades Tahoe (Squaw Valley) and Northstar (both 20 minutes away). Local property manager for any issues that may arise.
BEDROOMS -- One king bedroom downstairs with ensuite bath one king and one queen upstairs, plus loft room that sleeps 4 (with one bunk bed and two extra-long twins.) All beds include foam mattresses, hotel-quality bed linens with goose-down comforters, white freshly laundered duvet covers, plus cotton blankets for warmer summer nights. Down, solid foam and Tempur-pedic pillows available. Thick cotton bath towels provided, along with beach towels for use at the lake. Three TVs, with local networks and streaming services, in master bedroom, king bedroom and loft.
KITCHEN -- The kitchen is chef-ready, including a large wood center-island with sink for food prep. Stainless steel pots and pans, sharpened Henckels knives, Drip and K-Cup coffee makers, Bosch Dual Oven, 5-burner Thermador gas range, fully stocked with appliances and chef's tools. Also many spices and staple items.
BATHROOMS -- 3 full bathrooms. All fully tiled with glass showers. Jetted Jacuzzi tub in master bedroom.
LIVING ROOM -- Large leather seating for 8, rocking chair, new (2021) gas fireplace, reading lamps, hardwood floors, Persian rugs, Samsung HDTV.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Richard Neubauer

Our family lives in San Diego and in nearby Truckee. We've stayed at many rental condos and houses while skiing, boating and travelling. Mostly, we've been disappointed. We've furnished and outfitted this house to meet our own demanding expectations. We spend a lot of time here, so we maintain it to our high standards.
Why they chose this property
Carnelian Bay is among the most convenient places on the lake, whether you fly into Reno (1 hour 15 minutes) or drive up from San Francisco (3 hours 30 minutes). The house is in a quiet location away from the busy, noisy highway around the lake but when you're ready to go out for dinner or cocktails, there are many fine choices nearby. Grocery stores and other shops are ten minutes away. Before purchasing this home we vacationed at Tahoe for years, staying at the Tahoe Keys in South Lake Tahoe, Incline Village in Nevada, Alpine Meadows on the Truckee River, and Homewood on the West Shore. This feels the best to us. The across-the-street access to the hiking trails is a huge benefit in all seasons.
What makes this property unique
Completely refurbished in 2021 with high-end furniture and new gas fireplace. Large corner lot, heavily wooded with a big front yard. Located on a private road in a private community, traffic is very light and children can safely play in the yard while you sit and watch from the deck. In late spring and early summer you'll hear the nearby creek running down to the lake. You can walk the quiet, winding streets or hike in the adjacent National Forest land. There is no retail or commercial activity in this upscale 'Old Tahoe' neighborhood.
