BBQ - Not available due to new County Policy.
You found it—a comfortable vacation setting near everything—in Carnelian Bay! This spotless, newly updated one bedroom plus loft. And when you're not skiing down the slopes or enjoying a day out on Lake Tahoe, this condo in Carnelian Woods features excellent amenities, all at a super convenient location in North Tahoe!
The cozy living room is freshly furnished for comfortable relaxation. Put your feet up and sip your favorite beverage while basking in the ambiance of the gas fireplace. Take it easy, keeping everyone entertained with Wi-Fi and new flat screen television with cable and DVD player.
Step out on the adjacent covered deck you take in the forest view. BBQ not available (New County Rule). Listen to the wind whisper through the pines, breathe deep of the fresh air, and feel the stress of daily life drift away.
For the rest of your meal prep, the well-equipped kitchen features new countertops and appliances. A home-cooked dinner after a day on the slopes is easy in this space where the dishwasher makes clean up a breeze. There is seating at the breakfast bar and tall bistro table.
Onyx Gem features an entry level full bath with tub/shower combo and all the bath linens you’ll need. Pack light if you wish, there’s also a washer and dryer for your convenience.
The bedroom has a comfy king-size bed, perfect to stretch out on and watch the flat screen TV or read a book, there’s lots of natural light.
The upstairs loft is like second living room, which features a comfortable sofa and TV, as well as an attached half bath, making this a perfect unit for multigenerational getaways.
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 closest 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!
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
