About this property

Leisure Time: 2 BR, 1.5 BA Townhouse in Carnelian Bay, Sleeps 4

BBQ - Not available due to new County Policy.

This two bedroom end unit offers convenient access from the parking area and a very quiet location. Leisure Time is perfect for two couples or a small family. Enjoy terrific mountain views from the covered balcony. Located in the Carnelian Woods townhome complex in Carnelian Bay—make yourself at home in the North Tahoe vacation spot near everything!

Put your feet up and rest on the comfortable sofa while you watch TV by the cozy stone fireplace. Wi-Fi keeps you connected. Or go outside and take in the forest views on the 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 snap. There is seating for two at the breakfast bar and four chairs at the dining table.

Just around the corner, main floor laundry makes it easy to pack light. There is also a half bath, and a bedroom with a queen-sized bed and TV.
Head upstairs to the master suite and stretch out on the queen bed. The full bath with shower.

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!

In Carnelian Bay, all of north Lake Tahoe is right at your doorstep! There are two wonderful beaches and you're only 10-12 miles from three great ski resorts—Alpine Meadows, Squaw Valley, and Northstar.

To experience Lake Tahoe gambling and nightlife, Nevada's historic casino Crystal Bay is down the road four miles, and Incline Village, also just across the Nevada state line, is only about eight miles away. 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.

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

Welcome to the Lake!
Our first visit to Tahoe. The Carnelian an Woods condo suited us perfectly! We were able to make this our home base and enjoyed different adventures every day. We also enjoyed morning coffee on our balcony with a view. We hope to be back some day, thanks again!!

Very beautiful and peaceful. Evening walks around the neighborhood were very nice. It was exactly what we were looking for before the kids go back to school. The only thing that would have been nice is having more things around to do.

Quiet Retreat
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We chose Tahoe off season to beat the crowds, this place did it for us. If you are looking for entertainment and shopping this is NOT the place for you because there is none of this in Carnelian Bay, so that was a little disappointing. The place was clean but it does need a few boxes of tissues sitting around.

Ski townhome
We had a lovely stay at this Carnelian Bay townhome. The kitchen was fully stocked with spices, oils and cooking utensils. The location was easy to navigate to and from to the various ski resorts around. The only thing that was not accurate on the listing was the hot tub is only open on the weekends. This was a major bummer for us since every ski trip we like to go in the hot tub after we ski yet it was closed Monday - Thursday and the recreational center employee said it was because it was too expensive to operate. Besides that we had a great stay.

Quiet area of Carnelian Bay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My condo rental was a good experience. First Accommodations was very responsive on my E-mails. First night I was awakened by a bear going through the areas trash bin and in the morning after a long 10 hour drive the day before to get to Lake Tahoe I was also awakened by the next unit having their carpet cleaned at 8:00AM in the morning so other than that the condo was in a very quiet area of the complex. It was very easy to get to Tahoe City or Kings Beach. Condo had all the items needed in the kitchen for cooking and the bed was comfortable. The condo was a bit dated with the furniture, appliances and design.

Quiet yet noisy
The property/area was quiet, yet the house was quite noisy at night. Not sure if it was the settling of the home or ? Lots of creaking and pops. At one point we all were woken up by a loud bang sound, but could find nothing. The recreation area was about 1/2 mile down the road. Other homes we rented in the past have had a game cabinet which was helpful when traveling from another state. This home did not supply any games. This home had basic supplies. This home is listed for sale so not sure if this was a factor.

Lovely condo in North Lake Tahoe
We spent two nights for our anniversary getaway in June 2023 at this cute little condo unit. The location is perfect -- within three minutes drive of the lake and restaurants. The Carnelian Woods campus also has a lodge, hot tubs, pool, tennis courts, hiking trails, and other great amenities, but we didn't use them. The unit was well-furnished, with everything we could want from a VRBO rental. The kitchen had all the utensils, dining ware, and appliances we needed, an electric stove, a full-sized fridge with ice cubes already made. There's a TV in each bedroom and in the living room. They are small TVs, and the one in the living room is in an awkward upper corner, but you don't go to Tahoe to sit and watch TV all day, do you? The hosts were very responsive and answered questions quickly via email. They even provided tips about dealing with local wildlife (bears!). A variety of excellent restaurants were within 5-10 minutes drive. We went to Gar Wood twice and had great steaks and desserts there, with walking on the pier and along the lakeshore afterward. Tahoe City was only about 15 minutes away and had even more to choose from. This would be a great choice for anyone looking to get away to a quiet spot by the lake.

Quiet and Quaint
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A friend and I traveled to Tahoe to "unplug" and regroup. The location was beautiful - set up in the woods and very quiet, close to grocery stores, restaurants, shops, and rentals for canoes/kayaks. Our biggest complaint was that the site stated the pool/hot tub was open from Memorial weekend through Labor Day weekend. When we arrived (the week after Memorial), we were informed that the pool and hot tub would not be open for another month. I wish someone or the site would have notified us of the delayed opening.

A lovely place amidst the snow and pines
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A well appointed condo with a beautiful view of Bear Scratch above Tahoe's East Shore on Herlan Peak. While most of the condo is nicely maintained, the mattress in the upstairs bedroom is a marshmallow and c/should be replaced. Also, it's a bit annoying that the hot tub in the clubhouse is CLOSED on Sunday and Monday!
