About this property
Driftwood: 1 BR, 1.5 BA Townhouse in Carnelian Bay, Sleeps 4
King Bed
Sofa Bed - Queen
Get ready to enjoy all the comforts of home in this recently updated one bedroom plus loft townhome with room to sleep four guests. Located in the Carnelian Woods complex in Carnelian Bay—make yourself at home in the vacation spot near everything!
Plenty of natural light, knotty-pine ceilings, and gleaming hardwood floors add to Driftwood’s ambiance. Put your feet up and relax on the comfortable sofa while you watch TV by the cozy river rock fireplace. Wi-Fi keeps you connected. Or go outside and take in the forest views.
The well-equipped kitchen with stainless-steel appliances is open to the living room, with plenty of counter space and seating for five at the granite breakfast bar. Everything you need to prepare a hearty breakfast, a quick snack, or a home-cooked dinner can be found here and the dishwasher makes clean up a snap.
BBQ - Not Available - New County Regulation
The main bedroom on the entry level has a king-size, custom log bed and large flat panel TV. Unwind in the walk-in shower in the adjacent bathroom—with Travertine tile, granite countertops, and more.
You can pack light, Driftwood has a washer and dryer for your convenience.
Head upstairs to the loft, which features a leather sofa and large TV. The half-bath is located on this level as well.
The grounds outside feature lovely landscaping, and there is so much to do, you'll have a hard time deciding: a game of tennis, swimming in the seasonal pool, soaking in the hot tub, playing billiards at the clubhouse, taking on the parcourse, or hiking and biking on the trails right at Carnelian Woods.
This unit is one of the closest to the lake and your home away from home is in Carnelian Bay, where all north Lake Tahoe is right at your doorstep! 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. Pool and Tennis open summer only. Amenity access never guaranteed. Please check website for availability: carnelianwoodsorg
