Your home away from home is in Carnelian Bay, where all North Lake Tahoe is right at your doorstep! This is one of the closest units to the lake. 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!

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.

The kitchen was lacking. There were very few plates, the glasses were plastic, there were few coffee mugs. The kitchen could have used more tools. The fireplace and space were lovely. We enjoyed our time there very much..

Great location!! We love going to Tahoe in the off season (No crowds and plenty of parking) This unit is perfect for two adults or two adults with kids. The kitchen and bath are showing normal wear and tear but nicely equipped and clean. I would recommend this place for a great weekend with easy access to the lake.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: This was our first vacation with our dog and this property was only a short walk to Carnelian Bay, which is a dog-friendly beach. The property is in need of a refresh. It had a musty smell which we rectified with air freshener. The bedding was tired. I found a down comforter that I swapped for the old blanket and comforter that solved the problem. The dishwasher was broken and light bulbs need replacing. The size was perfect for our needs and the outside little deck was great. A refresh of bedding and carpets would make this a perfect condo.

I really wanted to like this place, but after my stay, I have mixed reviews. The mattress was very hard and I ended up sleeping on the sofa. The balcony was super small so I couldn’t really spend time out there with my dog as I had hoped. The microwave handle almost fell off when using it; the coffee pot was on its last leg as well. I didn’t feel welcomed by property management. They were very strict and made their check-in and checkout times abundantly clear. It rained the day I arrived so I waited in my car for an hour for the proper check in time. The house was dark and completely closed up when I got inside, not even the curtains were open. They sent a reminder that I must be out by 10 AM the night before I left so I was so nervous about the timing, I ended up locking myself out. They have an office a block away, but it was closed and I had to ask a neighbor to call them to get a temporary code to get the rest of my things. The condo is in a great location with a small dog and may consider giving it another try in another unit. It rained the entire time I was there so I didn’t get to enjoy the amenities or the location as I had hoped.. I work in hospitality management so my review on the PM is based on my professional experience, serving others.
