On the entry level, you’ll find the comfortably furnished living room with a wood-burning fireplace and flat screen TV. Take in the forest views through the large windows. High ceilings accented with knotty pine and gleaming hardwood floors accentuate the fresh look and feel of the property. Catch up on email or book your next stay with us on the Wi-Fi.

Breathe easy as the wind whispers through the pines while you relax with your favorite beverage on the balcony. Grill something tasty for dinner, then finish meal preparations in the well-equipped, updated kitchen, featuring granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. There’s plenty of seating to enjoy your meals at the breakfast bar or nearby dining table.

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 every winter activity.

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!

Year-round, 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.

Enjoyable stay
We had a good time as the unit met all our needs. Bed was comfy, we enjoyed the little deck, it’s close to the lake, beach and pool. We’ve stayed in the complex before and this unit was nicer. We’d probably stay again.

Condo with a view!
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful private condo in the woods. Having 1 and 1/2 baths was great and we enjoyed the comfortable pullout sofa bed to look at the serene forest views.

Clean, sufficient, no frills
Sufficient and basic accommodations for a quick ski weekend. The home was clean but lacking in some pretty basic amenities. I understand they have “starters” of toilet paper and the like but I didn’t expect to have to bring my own hand soap for the bathrooms.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: This was our 2nd time staying here. This time was quite an improvement. They did a very nice remodel of the kitchen that has all you need. We loved being in the woods, so nice to get up in the morning and have a coffee and read on the deck, so peaceful. Very short walk to the beach. You could get a drink, breakfast, lunch, rent a kayak, paddleboard, etc. would definitely stay here again. We miss it so much already!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Stayed one week in this condo during very hot weather in late July. We had just stayed at an un air conditioned A frame nearby which was a miserable experience. This condo was air conditioned and was very comfortable. For Lake Tahoe this was well appointed and up to date.My only criticism is that the upstairs bathroom which needs updating with replacement of the bath/shower and sink.

Convenient location
Our unit was changed at the last minute due to plumbing issues near original unit. This unit was called an upgrade but it didn’t seem better than the unit we secured originally. The entire unit smelled moldy but it was clean so we dealt with it. We opened the patio door to get fresh air in daytime and it helped. The towels smelled like wet dog (gross) and the shower knobs were very hard to adjust. Overall, it was fine for the little time we spent in unit. The location was central to everything and we enjoyed north Tahoe immensely!

Vacation
Stayed here for a few days for our summer vacation and the overall stay was okay. There were some pros to staying here. It’s a good location and close to the lake. The neighborhood is quiet and people were friendly. We also thought the kitchen and living room were inviting. However, there were quite a few cons. The refrigerator door wouldn’t close properly. So we had to actually push the door in tight order for it to stay shut. The upstairs needed serious attention. The runners looked really old and dirty and the comforter looked outdated. The restroom is in need of some TLC as well. The property manager did respond to our emails, which we appreciated. Don’t know if we’d stay here again, but it was a good price for its location.

Was nice to stay here in general, but some things were missed
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: It was very nice to stay in this Woodsy Suite! It looks like recently renovated. We love dishes and style!Just a couple things were missing: * really tiny cutting board: , we really missed for normal size.* you unable to use Grill because "...New Insurance/Fire Regulations prohibit BBQ propane tanks to be stored on property in Carnelian Woods Townhomes...." So, I got an explanation from management that some accommodations installed pipe gas grills, but this suite is not yet. Actually, there is a pipe installed but grill doesn't connect yet.

Good for two
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This small condo works well for two people or a family with two small kids. Parking is down a somewhat steep path from the parking area and with the bedroom upstairs, it's not suitable for those with mobility issues. The kitchen and floors have been nicely redone since the original construction. the kitchen is nicely supplied with dishware and cookware. The bed was very comfortable however there was only one dim floor lamp in bedroom area so reading in bed was not possible. Two of the lamps burned out during our stay but were quickly repaired. We had no cell reception in the condo area but connecting our phones to the wi-fi helped when we were inside the condo. Buy ice when you shop since there is no icemaker or ice cube trays. The tv has cable but no instructions are given for which of the four remotes to use. Use the smallest remote and find the Spectrum cable icon on the screen display.

Great Location to Escape
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: Overall the townhome is comfy and in a quiet location and was perfect for our 6 day stay. The kitchen is nicely outfitted to cook meals. The little balcony is nice to sit out amongst the trees and enjoy a morning coffee and afternoon glass of wine (I would suggest some better wine glasses and larger coffee mugs 😆). Bath Towels were scarce, literally 1 per person (up to 4 ppl). Having a W/D was great - so we could wash as needed - especially towels. A few maintenance items were noticed, but didn’t affect our stay. For summer visitors it would have been nice to have pool towels provided and maybe some plastic glasses to enjoy a beverage by the pool. I get that a lot of guests might be driving in and can pack to accommodate, but we flew in from out of town.

Nice Stay
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a good place to spend a long ski weekend as it was near family. Kitchen has been updated and has a good amount of dishes. New floors, but could use a mat or something for wet shoes and snow gear. Place was clean. Bed comfortable but the sheets are old. Little far to walk to the clubhouse for the hot tub and there are a lot of rules (no drinks, not open Sunday, etc). Towels nice and thick, but really could use some hot tub/swim towels as you get 4 bath towels for the condo so if you have more than 2 people, you have to keep throwing them in the dryer. Yes the upstairs sink and tub door need replacing. Easy fix, not sure why it hasn't been done, but such is Lake Tahoe. A little cramped if you have someone sleeping on the foldout couch. Overall, a decent stay for the price. Especially if you do not plan to spend a lot of time in the condo.

Super accommodating staff
The property managers are very responsive. We reported a problem with the window screens and they fixed it the day of. We also had a lost wallet incident, and the staff were very kind to do a search for us after we checked out. FYI keep in mind that this is a loft bedroom with a sliding screen partition. It technically can sleep 4 with the pullout couch, but with limited privacy.

Convenient place in Lake Tahoe
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We found the condo to be very clean upon our arrival. The kitchen is well-stocked with appliances, pots, pans, etc, however, there wasn't any sort of dishcloth or sponge for washing dishes so we had to go buy some sponges. Having a washer & dryer in the condo was very convenient, especially since the sheets and towels were washed in a very strong fragrant detergent - my husband is allergic to all scented cleaners so we had to re-wash everything. (Definitely a suggestion to the Owner & Property Management company to take this into consideration for future guests and use "free & Clear" detergent.)The king bed was very comfortable and after being in CA for 5 days coming from VA, our first night here at this condo was the best night of sleep I had since our arrival to CA.Although this condo doesn't offer a view of Lake Tahoe, you can make a quick walk to the end of the road, and use the big crosswalk to go across the street and you are at the Lake.Others have commented on the dated bathrooms and the rusty sink and other cosmetic issues in the upstairs bathroom - yes, they could use an upgrade, but in all honesty, how much time is really spent in the bathroom to where this could cause frustration? We enjoyed our stay and appreciate the seamless check-in process.
