BBQ - Not available due to new County Policy.

Beautiful forest views, a large stone fireplace, and knotty pine accents add to the charm of this spacious townhome with room to sleep seven guests in Carnelian Bay. When you're not skiing down the slopes or enjoying a day out on Lake Tahoe, the Carnelian Woods complex features excellent amenities at a super convenient location in North Tahoe!
On the entry level, you’ll find the master bedroom with a king-size bed and a glass sliding door to the covered deck. The second bedroom features a queen bed. There is also a full bath with a tub/shower and the laundry closet is just across the hall.
On the second level, there’s a comfortable sofa and two chairs with ottomans, providing the perfect spot for putting your feet up and taking in the Forest View through the glass sliding door. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and ambiance. Keep everyone entertained with Wi-Fi, a flat screen TV with cable, and a DVD player. This level also includes the second full bath with tub/shower. Plenty of bath linens are provided.
For home-cooked meals the kitchen provides all you’ll need to create meals and memories. A hearty breakfast or roasted chicken dinner are easy in this space where the dishwasher makes clean up a breeze. There’s a dining table with six chairs, plus three chairs at the breakfast bar. BBQ not available.
On the loft you’ll find three twin beds—a perfect space for the kids.
Breathe easy as the wind whispers through the pines while you relax and sip your favorite beverage on one of the decks. Unplug and unwind with a good conversation as you appreciate the Forest View, resting in Tahoe’s unhurried pace.
When you’re ready to venture outside, you’ll love 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 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

Family Vacation

We take family trips to Lake Tahoe every year. This has been a pretty spot to stay at because everything is so close. The lake is like 5 minutes away in car but you could go walking as well. It was a bit hard to find the town houses. We did how ever had a not so friendly experience when we went to enjoy the pool we felt discriminated by the guy there when we arrived but other than that we highly recommend this place. We are completely satisfied.

Great place for a family!

Easy to book! Place was nice. Could use some updating like new cooking pans. The top one had completely rubbed off so we did not use them we cooked in the stainless steel pots. Lots of nice blankets and pillows to cuddle up with, the lighting was wonderful with a great view. An abundance of towels and the directions were clear and precise through email. Our family had a Joyeuse last three days.

Small 1970’s Townhouse

Pretty area. Lodge is a short drive away with working hot tub and broken sauna. Townhouse could not be any smaller. Two seater couch with 2 rocking style chairs. Not enough comfortable seating for adult family of 5. Beds are old and uncomfortable. Loft room has 3 old twin beds that are noisy and you can feel the springs. Overall-we won’t come back.

Great trip and accommodations

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was quaint and homie. Plenty of space for a family vacation. Needs some update cookware as teflon was completely stripped from the pans. Hot tub was never available as is small and with children we didn’t want to impose. Parking was perfect, easy entry, plenty of towels and basic needs.

Nice place, great location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: Great place- a little cramped for 5 people in the communal space but plenty of sleeping space. Only complaint was the railing on the upstairs loft- very unsafe! We visited with my toddler and the railing not only had huge gaps between the bars that he could easily fit through but it was VERY wobbly and felt unsafe to lean on.

Great location

We had a great time during our 3 night stay at Carnelian Bay. For two families with 3 teens, the layout of this townhouse was just right. We loved being able to walk easily to the beach and swim in Lake Tahoe. We also took a 6.5 mile hike one day right from there without getting in the car. In the townhouse, the table was big enough for board games and shared meals. We managed with the seating available in the living room - a loveseat and two comfortable chairs. The kitchen is on the small side. Two was the max number of chefs and even that was crowded. The unit is showing some wear and tear - some stains on the carpet. One burner on the stove didn't work while we were there - the property manager had ordered replacement parts. The property manager was responsive and helped us right away with a missing extension cord so that one of the lights would work in the living room and fixed a toilet seat that was broken when we arrived. Bears in the parking lot was a real thing. We saw two different ones around dusk while we were there. So pay attention to the property manager's guidelines about co-existing with bears. One of our favorite parts about the townhouse was that the view out of the biggest windows was into the forest, so we had the sense of being farther away from things than we really were.

Community building management

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When looking for a place to stay one of the attractions to this property was the community area for my son and his friends for his 18th birthday ski trip. On Saturday evening we went to the community center for hot tub and some games. At 8:00 we were told by the manager that they were closing early, all the game room was already powered down!Not only did management not want us there he never offered any assistance and was noticeably frustrated we wanted to play pool, it was only 9:00! Come to find out the change machine was turned off and he knew that and his comment was “ I don’t give change try the machine but it may not work! My son ran back to the condo to get change and came back to a pool table that was also broken! This was to be the evening to enjoy the facility but in stead we spent the evening being frustrated and intentionally forced out of the facility.I will not be coming back to your complex and will be sure to spread the bad news to friends and family.

Quiet Outdated Condo in the Forest

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall our experience with this rental was ok, but slightly disappointing. The management company communicated well, booking and check-in was an easy process, and a minor issue with the kitchen range was handled promptly and professionally. Location is convenient to the lake and north shore attractions, but far enough off the main road to provide for peach and quite. We visited in the shoulder season, so expected some amenity limitations (e.g. pool closed); however, we were disappointed that almost all of the advertised development amenities were either not open or severely limited in hours. A simple inclusion of this info in the welcome email would have set expectations and prevented disappointment. The biggest factor impacting our experience was the outdated and worn furniture, kitchen utensils/appliances, and Motel 6 quality bath towels. The dishwasher was falling apart, the toaster barely worked, the random mishmash of kitchen utensils left much to be desired, and some of the items looked as if they had been in use since the late 80s. When we rent a place with a kitchen, we intend to use it and want the experience to be more akin to cooking at home than making due with leftovers from the thrift store. Did it keep us warm, dry, and safe? Yes. Were there positive aspects? Yes. Could you find a better overall experience in the area for a similar price? Very likely. We have stayed at many similar mountain town rentals across the west and unfortunately this was our least favorite due to the aforementioned issues.

A Disappointing Stay at Forest View

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I do not recommend this Rental. The listing does not accurately represent the condition of the unit which has a significant amount of deferred maintenance. Be prepared for peeling paint in the bathrooms, a broken kitchen faucet, cracked lamp shades, literal holes in the walls and openings in the ceilings plugged with tishoes. The property management company blamed the issues on an unresponsiveness owner and did not take responsibility for renting out this unit in an unacceptable condition. If you can afford to spend a few extra dollars l would highly recommend avoiding this place.

The condo was dated but very clean. Perfect place for a family with two bedrooms and a loft for the kids. Two bathrooms made it easy for everyone to get ready for the day. We loved having the fireplace. Lots of extra pillows and blankets and a good stocked kitchen. We would definitely rent here again.
