About this property

Relaxing Retreat: 2 BR, 1.5 BA Townhouse in Carnelian Bay, Sleeps 5

• Bedroom 1 (Loft): Queen Bed
• Bedroom 2: Two Twin Beds (Trundle)

This one bedroom plus loft end unit with mountain and filtered lake views offers a private, quiet location. With room to sleep four guests, it’s perfect for a small family or romantic getaway. Located in the Carnelian Woods townhome complex in Carnelian Bay—make yourself at home in the North Tahoe vacation spot near everything!

You’ll feel refreshed after a vacation at this Relaxing Retreat! Inside or out, enjoy all the views—filtered lake, mountain, and forest—from your living room, balcony, and loft master suite.

Put your feet up and rest on the comfortable sofa while you watch TV by the cozy gas fireplace. Wi-Fi keeps you connected. Or go outside and take in views as you barbeque on the covered balcony, located off the living room.

The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare a hearty breakfast, a quick snack, or a home-cooked dinner and the dishwasher makes clean up a breeze. There is seating for two at the breakfast bar and four chairs at the dining table.

The washer and dryer are around the corner, along with a half bath. The main-level bedroom has a trundle bed—two twins—with linens to keep your dreamers snug all night.

Upstairs on the loft, the master suite has a comfortable queen bed and a full bathroom with plenty of bath linens. This is a great vantage point to admire the views from your Relaxing Retreat!

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! 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 winter fun.

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 every season, 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

A great stay!
I was in a group of 3 adults skiing at Palisades Tahoe and this rental was great for us! The property was very clean, accurate to listing, and easy to find. The host did a great job of sending all necessary info ahead of time (extra helpful if you save it in case you lose cell service on your way!).

Quick getaway
Overall it was a great stay. It is an end unit and it was very quiet. The kitchen is well stocked. It was clean but felt the unit could use a fresh coat of paint and some minor updating. I was able to figure out the T.V. but it would have been helpful if there was an instruction sheet. Unfortunately the unit is far from the club house and is not easy to cut through the property to shorten the route. The pool, clubhouse, and hot tub are fantastic. The pool is large and clean and the water is warm. The unit is on the end of town so it's a little bit of a drive to the grocery store and beach area. The only dislike were the pillows, they are hard & thin and the masterbed is firm as well. The unit is well stocked with blankets and extra bedding. Would definitely stay here again but I would bring my own pillows next time.

Nice location - A bit dated
The place was clean. Location great. But really need to update and do maintenance on the bathrooms. The patio furniture could be updated. It was dirty, plus the cushions were dirty and very thin. Thank you
