Carnelian Woods Sanctuary

Enjoy a spot right by the lakeshore at this thoroughly charming, four-bedroom Carnelian Bay vacation rental. This Carnelian Woods condo even comes with community amenities like a shared pool and hot tub, as well as tennis courts. And when you want to visit the beach, Lake Tahoe is just a couple of blocks away.

This prime North Lake Tahoe location is close to restaurants like the Old Post Office Coffee Shop and Waterman's Landing (also home to kayak and paddle board rentals!), as well as activities like hiking and biking, and golfing at the Tahoe City Golf Course, just a 10-minute car ride south. And in winter, all the skiing fun at Northstar California Resort is less than 10 miles from your door.

Spacious and with room for a crowd, this three-level Lake Tahoe retreat boasts tall, slanted ceilings, a TV, DVD player, and a cozy wood stove. While you're all cuddled up and toasty on the sofa, you'll be able to watch the snow fall down outside through the balcony's sliding glass doors.

On the evenings that you don't want to head out for dinner, the full kitchen makes meal preparation a snap. Whip up a pot of chicken noodle soup for a chilly night or set up a make-your-own-taco party after a day of hiking. And when you're done, a dishwasher will make sure clean-up is quick and easy so you can get back to enjoying your vacation.

At night, there are a number of bedrooms and beds to choose from. Three rooms all have queen-size beds, each with comfortable, stylish bedding and accessories like bedside tables and reading lamps - one even has it's own balcony access. In the fourth bedroom, you'll have two twin beds - great for kids!

Additional amenities include a private washer and dryer so you can pack lightly and a stereo with a CD player. You'll have all of the comforts of home when you stay at this lovely woodland retreat!

The community clubhouse, aside from having a pool and hot tub complex, also has a pool table for more family fun. Of course, in Lake Tahoe there are plenty of activities to choose from! From here, Kings Beach is just a seven-minute drive east, with the casinos of Crystal Bay just a bit further, across the Nevada state-line. Other year-round activities include gallery browsing and dining out - each readily available in Carnelian Bay and the surrounding communities of Tahoe Vista, Tahoe City, and Kings Beach.

Beautiful and scenic, wintertime is packed with opportunities for Nordic and Alpine skiing, snowshoeing, and even snowmobiling. North Lake Tahoe is a winter wonderland surrounded by three popular ski resorts - Northstar, Squaw Valley, and Alpine Meadows are all within a 25-minute drive.

No matter if you come for boating and swimming in beautiful, blue Lake Tahoe or to shred it on the slopes, this North Lake Tahoe vacation rental offers a great location, comfortable furnishings, and an ideal home base for exploring this gorgeous region of California.
