Guests can prepare for cabin-style relaxation throughout this centrally located single family home, while still relaxing in a quiet neighborhood that backs up to miles of Tahoe Conservancy woods. When you're not walking to the lake or cross-country skiing through the forest, guests can relax in front of the indoor gas fireplace.

We had the best time in this cozy Tahoe home. The location was perfect, the house was super clean and very functional. I especially loved that we bordered Tahoe National Forest to enjoy walks right outside our door.
This was our second time staying in Carnelian Bay. The cabin is about a 15 minute walk to the lake, and Watermans Landing. The place could use some updating, but it suited our needs just fine for 4 nights. The beds were all very comfortable, and the place felt clean. We loved that they had kayaks and a SUP in the garage. Also the garage was very roomy with high ceilings, so we were able to park our Toyota Tundra in it which was nice. We would gladly stay here again.
We stayed for 2 days and had a wonderful time. Home was clean and came with everything we needed for our stay. We can’t wait to stay again. If you’re looking for somewhere I would totally pick this home. We enjoyed the games and other items provided in the home.
Great location, home could use some repairs/updates. Front door keypad didn’t work during our stay and was not repaired as promised.
This house is nicely decorated. It is clean with modern amenities. We enjoyed our stay!
Perfect cabin for a fun family vacation!
