My family love this rental. It’s like a home away from home. The kids love having their own rooms and space. The red chaise lounge chair was a perfect place for reading and some alone time.

Beautiful Cabin

The cabin was beautiful, close to the lake as well. As other reviews have mentioned, please consider bringing your own cleaning necessities such as kitchen towels/cloth, laundry detergent if necessary. Other than that, it was a wonderful experience and clean home. Our family enjoyed our stay!

Best Cabin

This was a wonderful place to stay! The cabin was absolutely beautiful as pictured. I am really into cleanliness, and this place was spotless. I rarely feel “at home” in a rental, but I did in this cabin! We were able to stay with our two little kids, baby and toddler, along with my parents. Each family had their own level and space. I would 100% recommend this cabin and have already been looking for dates to stay again! We had everything we needed!

Beautiful house close to King’s Beach

Overall, it was a wonderful, spacious home that is close to a kid-friendly beach, grocery store, and restaurants in Carnelian Bay. The hosts had a well stocked kitchen with various utensils. The first floor does get much colder than the main floor. Space heaters will be a good addition since central heaters become inefficient. Definitely, would consider staying here again.

A great retreat feel in the Tahoe pines

Four couples were able to relax and get caught up on each other’s lives. We’ve known each other 45 years and choose a spot to gather every year or so. The Agate Rd house fit our needs perfectly. Space for multiple conversations and being all together as well. (4stars because nothing is perfect!)

A house for all seasons

Our family spent an amazing weekend at the Agate Road Retreat (again). It is a wonderfully appointed house conveniently located to all that North Shore has to offer, including hiking out the door both up the ridge and to the Lake. Truckee is easily accessible as well. With the multi-level arrangement, our adult children had plenty of room to spread out. The house is clean and the kitchen is well-equipped with a deck barbecue. I recommend this home for any season.

Carnelian Bay Home

This beautiful home was stocked for almost anything we needed without a run to the store. Clean and comfortable. We weren't given any check out instructions so hopefully we left it in good order. A definite stay again for skiing Northstar because we had a non skier who drove us to and from the slopes everyday. But it's just a short drive from the home.

Beautiful, Spacious Home

We had an amazing stay at this spacious,clean home. Plenty of space for eight with a lovely great room for entertaining and hanging out together. Our only suggestion is that the kitchen cooking equipment could use an update. There were some basic items that we needed to cook simple dinners and couldn’t find. Everything else was great and we especially appreciated use of the snow shoes and sleds.
