About this property

Exceptional N.Lake Tahoe Retreat/Charney Chalet: Dog Friendly, HotTub, Fast WiFi

Enjoy the wonderful quiet surroundings of Lake Tahoe in our gorgeous mountain home, CHARNEY CHALET. It offers over 2200 square feet of spacious living space on a 1/3 acre lot. This retreat is newly decorated in alpine comfort and elegance. There is a newly remodeled kitchen with solid granite countertops, hardwood floors and beautiful wood appointments throughout. The kitchen has a 4 burner gas cook top with a convection oven. It is fully stocked with exceptional Gunter Wilhelm Executive Chef Series 7 pc. Knife Set (High Carbon Stainless Steel) sold at Williams-Sonoma. This is added to our smaller existing set of Michael Chiarello Napa-Style Santoku high-end knives. We have recently added a 10 piece set of Calphalon Durable Hand-Anodized Aluminum Non-Stick interior Pots and Pans with Stay Cool Handles and Oven safe to 450 degrees. This improvement should make the most discriminating chef happy. Since we frequent our Lake Tahoe home often, we look forward to having a beautifully-stocked kitchen for our own family meals, as well for our many guest renters. Professional chefs have even complimented us on our cook ware. There is a large dining table that easily seats 10. We have Fiesta Ware plates and serving platters with lots of silverware to compliment the table.

The well-furnished large Great Room has a cozy river rock fireplace as a focal point. We have lots of seating for your group to be together. Enjoy music on the stereo sound system or watch a DVD on the new 39’ flat screen HD-TV. Watch a movie from cable on demand. The large living area also includes a reading nook surrounded by lovely windows and French doors that lead to our deck. Just outside on the private deck is our NEW Marquis hot tub with peek views of Lake Tahoe. Our hot tub seats 4 - 5 and has fountain features and is state of the art! We have our hot tub professionally cleaned and maintained before every new guest rental arrives. There is a table, umbrella, chairs and a barbecue on the deck, as well, for enjoying the outdoor ambience during the summer months. A well-appointed powder room is off the great room. This great room offers a very large living area with high sloped pine ceilings that allows for wonderful family time with mountain atmosphere.

The spacious master suite is on the same level as the kitchen and great room. It has a comfortable California king bed as well as a 20 inch TV with cable and DVD, and private bathroom with a shower. The King bed offers a down comforter with a freshly cleaned duvet and a choice of foam or down pillows. Included in the primary suite is a comfortable lounging sofa and comfy chair for reading or watching movies. There is a private entrance to the deck through French doors if you want to sneak out for a private soak in our NEW hot tub after the kids are in bed. There is ample closet and dresser space. Views of the pine trees allow privacy from this spacious master suite.

Down stairs is a lovely Queen bed room with a down comforter with freshly cleaned duvet. It is perfect as a second master bedroom if two families are sharing the home. Its decor is European Alpine and gives you a mountain retreat atmosphere. There is a bay window with seating for reading or relaxing. There is also a room with 2 bunkbeds (regulare size twin beds for adults, too) for the kids to have their own space. The downstairs bathroom has 2 sinks and a full bathtub and shower. The full-sized washer and dryer is located in the large laundry room with iron and ironing board and room for delicate clothing air drying. We provide laundry soap for your stay.

A private Bonus Bedroom is accessible from the rear of the attached garage. This is the perfect room to send the kids to play foosball or watch their own movie on a TV with DVD/VCR while the adults enjoy the great room upstairs. Another use of this room is a lovely adult bedroom. There is also a very comfortable, new and attractive iron-framed queen bed. This bedroom is very private with an ensuite full bathroom. This hideaway bedroom is quiet and private with access to the backyard through the sliding glass doors. It has forced air heating but also has its own new wall heater for comfort. There is an armoire and small dresser for your convenience.

Linen for the beds and towels are provided for your use. All of our bathrooms are outfitted with sumptuous Egyptian cotton towels from the luxury catalogue Garnet Hill. In the summer, you will want to bring your own beach towels to use at the lake. There is shampoo, conditioner, liquid bath soap, hand soap and blow dryers in each bathroom. We leave a starter of toilet paper in each of the four bathrooms.

Our home is centrally located 6 miles east of Tahoe City and 2 miles west of Kings Beach in the private Agate Bay neighborhood. Our home sits on an approximately 1/3 acre lot on one of the finest streets in Agate Bay. We are surrounded by a quiet, wooded neighborhood with underground utility wires. Fine dining is nearby at Gar Woods or enjoy casual dining at CB pizza. There are many other excellent options as well. Nevada casinos are 10 minutes away in Crystal Bay or a little further to Incline Village.

Northstar, Squaw Valley, and Alpine Meadows are less than 15 miles away for downhill and cross country skiing. Diamond Peak, Mt. Rose and Homewood are within 30 minutes of our home. There is snow shoeing available across the street in forest land.

In the summer, the dog friendly Patton beach is nearby where kayaks, stand up paddle boards, and canoes can be rented in the summer and some weekends throughout the year. We are very close to many beaches along the north shore. We are about a 20 minute drive to the famous Sand Harbor Beach. We are about 15 minute drive to the Impossible Trail that hugs the lake and is stunning. World class hiking, mountain biking, and rafting are nearby. We have many hiking trails that our footsteps from our front porch.

To protect our home from the increasing bear activity, we have installed an electric bear fence with an electric bear mat at the front door. As long as you are wearing shoes, you will not have a problem. Do not touch the wires or the mat. If you have a dog, you must turn the mat off before they walk on it. You should also be careful of children that might walk barefoot or touch the mat. We recommend you turn the electric fence off while you are at the home.

Great for families & Centrally located!
The layout of this home was perfect for our family of 8 adults and a teenager. The two sitting areas and open kitchen accommodated board game fans and readers alike. The home was dog-friendly and we loved the pictures of the owner's family dog. Mark and Tere were responsive and thoughtful hosts. We highly recommend this vacation home!

Charming Family Friendly Tahoe Home
We celebrated a family birthday with our adult children and grandchildren at this cozy Tahoe cabin. The home is clean, well appointed and welcoming. The family room, with well appointed kitchen, and fireplace was ideal for quality family time. Bedrooms were comfortable and private. Nice neighborhood with close access to trail in forest. Hope to come back in the future.

May trip
It was a wonderful place to stay for our family. We had 4 adults and two grandkids and a dog. The bedrooms were nicely separated and the kids bunk room was located near one of the bedrooms perfect for the parents. The cabin was beautiful like the pictures and having a dog accessible beach nearby was great

Perfect cabin for a trip with friends/family
We had a lovely stay at this gorgeous cabin that truly has it all - large open spaces, deck with BBQ, hot tub, comfortable rooms, many bathrooms, beautiful walkable neighborhood, close access to lake, restaurants, etc! The kitchen is well stocked which made making family meals so enjoyable. Also great place for kids! The weather ended up being poor the weekend that we were up there but we still had plenty of entertainment. Communication with Teresa and Mark was excellent. Highly recommended. We would love to come back for a longer stay!

About the host

Hosted by Tere and Mark Charney

Host profile image
We have always enjoyed Lake Tahoe even before we had children. Now we have 4 adult children that grew up coming to the lake and creating wonderful memories at our Charney Chalet! The whole family enjoys visiting for all seasons. In the winter, Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows and Northstar are all within 15 -20 minutes from our home. There is great hiking right out our door or not far away. We love to travel with our dog and that is why we extend that to our guests. Dogs love Lake Tahoe as much as their other family members. We have shown you some of the nearby hiking trails on the map.

Why they chose this property

We have visited many areas of the Lake Tahoe region. We enjoy the north shore because it is less hectic and less influenced by the south shore casinos. Agate Bay is a very special place. It is so quiet, that on a busy 4th of July weekend, in Agate Bay, you would not even know it was so busy several miles away in Kings Beach and Tahoe City. We are located on a quiet street with underground utility wires that sits across the street from nature conservancy land. We offer our home for you to enjoy Lake Tahoe and Agate Bay.

What makes this property unique

We love spending time with our family and extended family sitting on our deck during the summer. Our lot is 1/3 acre so there is a sense of privacy, peacefulness and quiet. Our street has underground utility wires and our wooded surroundings makes for an amazing getaway feeling, while knowing that we can cook a gourmet meal or a quick snack in our new kitchen just back inside our french doors. Our home is big enough to come together in the great room for meals, hanging out, watching a movie, or playing games. Our home also allows room for privacy in the many well-appointed bedrooms and bonus room. All of our furnishing and amenities are new and it does not feel like a rental home but our home away from home. In the winter, our home is easily warmed up with our wood-burning stove or our central heater. There is a lot of room outside to play and sled. The NEW hot tub is four steps from the french doors off the great room, so getting there year round is a luxurious opportunity.
