About this property

Wilderness Retreat: 3 BR, 2 BA Townhouse in Carnelian Bay, Sleeps 8

• Bedroom 1: King Bed
• Bedroom 2: Queen Bed
• Bedroom 3 (Loft): Two Full-Size Beds

This two-level townhome in the Carnelian Woods complex, with three bedrooms and room to sleep eight guests, features new flooring, vaulted ceilings, and mountain-style decor. Put your feet up in the open living room next to the gas fireplace. With plenty of cozy throw blankets and pillows, you’ll feel right at home relaxing on the comfortable furniture. Catch up on the news or watch a movie on the flat screen HD TV/DVD player. Stay connected with Wi-Fi. Barbeque on the adjacent covered deck year-round and take in the forest view or prepare a gourmet meal in the fully-equipped kitchen, with dining at the large table.

Spend quality time together with ample room for a large family or two couples with children. The main floor bedroom has a king bed, the upstairs bedroom has a queen bed, and there are two full beds in the loft area. There is a bathroom on each floor, nicely updated with new walk-in showers and flooring. Plenty of bed and bath linens are provided. Main floor laundry makes it easy to pack light.

When you’re ready to venture outside, keep everyone entertained in this perfect vacation setting. The Recreation Center / Lodge features a swimming pool, two outdoor hot tubs, locker room saunas, billiards, tennis and bocce courts, and a fitness trail. The complex backs up to Tahoe National Forest, offering miles of hiking, biking, cross country skiing, and other activities year-round.

Your home away from home is in Carnelian Bay, where all North Lake Tahoe is right at your doorstep! This is one of the closet units to the lake. Stroll down to Magic Carpet mini golf or check out Waterman’s Landing, located at Patton Landing Beach, a 3-acre, pebbly beach known for stand-up paddling.

To experience Lake Tahoe gambling and nightlife, Incline Village and Nevada's historic casino Crystal Bay are a short drive away, just across the state line.

Closer to home, you'll find superb dining options right in town like Gar Woods Grill and Pier for steaks and fish, the Old Post Office Coffee Shop for hearty breakfasts, and CB's Pizza for hand-tossed pies and beer.

You're only 10-12 miles from three great ski resorts—Northstar, Alpine Meadows, and Squaw Valley. Whether you prefer to downhill or cross-country ski, snowboard, snowshoe, or go sledding or ice skating, North Tahoe is the place for every winter activity.

At Squaw Valley, after conquering the slopes, go tubing with the kids or try out the mini snowmobiles at SnoVentures Activity Zone. There are dogsledding tours too!

Year-round, the Village at Squaw Valley offers dining, shopping, the Squaw Valley Aerial Tram, and a variety of activities.

In the summer, ride the Aerial Tram to High Camp then choose a scenic trail and walk or hike in one of the most breathtaking places in the world! At 8,200 feet elevation, admire the beauty of the Sierra Nevada Mountains with views of Lake Tahoe and Squaw Valley's legendary granite peaks. In the Aerial Tram building lobby, kids and grownups can have a blast climbing the variety of routes on the 30’ simulated Headwall Climbing Wall. If you dare, learn how to do a front or back somersault at Skyjump; all ages are welcome.

NOTE: Carnelian Woods Amenities: Hot Tubs are Typically open daily in summer and winter, Saturdays only in spring and fall. Pool and Tennis open summer only. Amenity access never guaranteed. Please check website for availability: carnelianwoodsorg

Great unit
Well equipped unit with all we needed for a comfortable stay. (Just pay attention to the pre-arrival instructions and bring your own beach/pool towels.) We like staying at Carnelian Woods so getting a unit there was the main priority. Worked well for us and our adult kids.

Winter Family Trip
Loved our stay! We enjoy cooking and making lunches for skiing. The Kitchen is well equipped, modern and large enough for our family. Huge winter storm came through during our stay and one day the mountain was closed. So we hung out at the condo, played games and cooked. Very cozy.

Great place in a great location
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: Great place in a great location! Easy walk to the beach (4 minutes) and even to a couple of restaurants, yet tucked away from the loud noise of the main road. Best of both worlds. Also, the place itself is extremely clean and all amenities were above par. Beautiful kitchen too. Will be back!
