About this property

Tahoe Mountain Retreat – Sleeps 12!

Summary:
Seeing is believing, and once you lay eyes on iconic Lake Tahoe and its surroundings, you’ll quickly come to understand why it’s a highly favored destination by visitors from all over the world, and soon to be yours as well!

The Space:
Located on the serene northwestern shore is where you’ll find Lakeview Manor, a charming and laid-back retreat surrounded by natural beauty, its tranquil ambiance setting the stage for relaxation and rejuvenation while adventure sits waiting around every corner.

Take in the breathtaking panoramic views of the water and surrounding mountainous terrain from the home’s spacious deck and patio, relaxing with a cup of tea or a glass of wine while the fresh, pine-scented air carries all your worries away. In the evening hours, a bubbling hot tub will ease your tired muscles after days spent exploring and enjoying this all-seasons playground, while you count the constellations among the vast canopy of stars.

When you’re ready to take full advantage of the lake, head into Carnelian Bay for a sun-soaked day at the beach or to head out by boat for all manner of water sports. Popular among anglers, this area also offers excellent opportunities for fishing, especially for lake trout. For those who prefer land-based activities, there are numerous hiking and biking trails with spectacular views of the lake and the surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains. Of course, in the winter months, you’ll want to set your sights on the numerous surrounding ski areas, each offering their own unique blend of challenging runs and cozy lodges.

The home’s interior is the perfect spot for gathering and regrouping between excursions, where large picture windows illuminate rooms in natural light while keeping those unbeatable views front and center. Two separate living rooms, one upstairs and one down, allow everyone to spread out and have the entertainment experience they desire, each offering plush seating options, a smart TV, and fireplaces to keep you warm and toasty during the cooler months. The stylish kitchen is a chef’s delight, showcasing stainless steel appliances, smooth stone countertops, and rich wood cabinetry stocked with all the comforts of home. Enjoy a spread of delicious hors d’oeuvres while seated up at the counter or gather around one of two tables for a more formal dining experience, each seating 6 and 4, respectively.

This home comfortably sleeps 12 guests between 4 private bedrooms, a private apartment, and a full size sleeper sofa in the living room.

Bedroom #1 includes a California king size bed, smart TV, an ensuite bathroom with a dual vanity, soaking tub, and walk-in shower.

Bedroom #2 includes a queen size bed and ensuite bathroom with a pedestal sink and glass walk-in shower.

Bedroom #3 includes a queen size bed.

Bedroom #4 includes a queen size bed.

The apartment includes 2 queen size beds, a kitchenette, smart TV, private balcony, and ensuite bathroom with dual vanities, a walk-in shower and there is AC available via Mini Splits.

The home also includes a half bathroom as well as an additional full guest bathroom with a dual vanity and shower/tub combo.

THINGS TO NOTE:
• Washer and dryer in home.
• Garage and driveway parking available for 3 vehicles.

Carnelian Bay is a paradise for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike. In the summer, the pristine beaches beckon visitors to indulge in a variety of water activities. Kayak across the tranquil lake, paddleboard along the shoreline, or simply relax on the sandy beaches soaking up the sun. For those with a penchant for hiking, the area offers an array of trails that meander through lush forests, providing panoramic vistas at every turn. When winter blankets the region in a powdery white, it transforms into a winter wonderland. Skiers and snowboarders can carve their way down world-class slopes at nearby Northstar California Resort and Diamond Peak. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails offer a serene escape into the snowy wilderness, where you might even spot local wildlife against the snowy backdrop.

Another wonderful stay at this beautiful Carnelian Bay home

This is our second stay at this property and it was just as wonderful as our first time. The accommodations were perfect for our extended ski weekend with our family. We had a comfortable stay with an outstanding view of the lake. The owners were quickly responsive to any questions we had and we will likely come back again in the future!

Perfect space, magical view

This is a perfect house for multiple things to be happening at once. Our son’s family was in the apartment with the littles that have their special needs. The teens loved the downstairs and downstairs he adults loved the upstairs. It’s so well appointed with spices and kitchen equipment. We wanted for nothing! Loved our stay. Oh, everyone said their beds were comphy!

The pictures don’t do the view justice

The view of the lake was much wider and better than I expected from the listing. Sleeping setup was perfect for 10 people. There is a 6th queen bed but it isn’t in a private room ( shares a common space ) in “the apartment. Our priority was a large house with a good view and this was better than I could have hoped for. I would go back.

The home was very beautiful. It had so much room for family. Enjoyed the evenings sitting on the deck looking at the water or sitting in the hot tub. Waking up and going to bed every day looking at Lake Tahoe was the highlight of our stay.

This was the perfect house for our family vacation. Great gathering space and fantastic patio with breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe. Owner is easy to contact if needed, but all the right information was provided in advance. Would stay here again if the opportunity was available.

Family gathering for 8 to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary.

The house was perfect for our three small families, ranging in ages from 6 to 70. The view of the lake is spectacular and the location of the house on Carnelian Bay in North Tahoe is great. We have stayed in South and North Tahoe and prefer the latter. If you love wooden boats, be sure to visit Sierra Boat Company.

Perfect Tahoe Property for a Family Gathering

As several people have noted in other reviews, the view is even better than the pictures! We were a family group of 8 adults and two toddlers. The house was very comfortable for us and could have easily handled two more adults (which we had initially planned but a last minute Covid infection left 2 adults not able to travel). It is very well equipped with everything you will need - we cooked many meals in, and also barbequed on the gas grill on the deck one night. The beds were all very comfortable, and the family rooms both on the main floor and downstairs were very relaxing. Don't miss the hot tub! Everyone in our family agreed this was one of the best places we have stayed and would gladly visit again.

Perfect Place to Stay on Lake Tahoe!

Our family stayed here for a week (6 adults and 2 kids) and it was perfect! We loved the view ❤️, the layout of the house, all the comfortable sitting areas inside and outside, the hot tub, and the flat terraced portion of the backyard (great for playing Mulkey). The beds were very comfortable and the cool nights made for great sleeping conditions with plenty of bedding available. The two kitchens were extremely well stocked with dishes, cookware, bakeware, utensils, and spices. Multiple large TVs and great internet. The hosts were very responsive to questions and check in was a breeze. Carnelian Bay is an excellent location. We enjoyed a beautiful view of the lake and an easy drive to Tahoe City, Kings Beach, and the East Shore Trail (all of which I recommend visiting). I think the north side of Lake Tahoe is much more relaxing and beautiful than South Lake Tahoe. It's less crowded and there are so many great views of the lake. We went horseback riding at Alpine Meadows Stables - which was a short drive - and the horses were great! Magic Carpet Miniature Golf was also a great activity. We drove down to Emerald Bay and hiked the Cascade Falls trail. This trail was perfect for all of us - very scenic, not too difficult, and at the end you get to cool your feet in the water above the falls. 🙂 Staying at this house allowed us to experience the amazing beauty of Lake Tahoe in a truly peaceful and relaxing way.

Best Family Vacation

We had 3 generations, ages 2 days old to 63 years old. This property was the perfect fit for our whole family. Everything we could’ve needed was provided, including crib, high chair, beach chairs. The view was spectacular and the property well maintained and very clean. We HIGHLY recommend this home for any larger families.

Best VRBO and best view I have stayed in yet!

We loved staying in this spacious, beautiful, clean home in Carnelian Bay. One of the best VrBO homes I’ve stayed in to date. The view of Lake Tahoe was so peaceful and we had some fresh snow at night, which made it even more picturesque. The hot tub was a big hit and our furry friends enjoyed being with us in Tahoe. The beds were very comfortable and plenty of bathrooms for everyone. We would definitely come back! Thank you for a lovely stay.

A gorgeous house and view

There were 11 of us and the house was roomy and ultra comfortable. The beds were wonderful, the kitchen was supplied with everything we could need, and it was a wonderful experience for all of us. The view of the lake was the icing on the cake. Our kids had fun sledding down the side slope of the house and we all loved the hot tub overlooking the lake.
