Great Escape - This beautifully renovated 3-bedroom located within the Carnelian Woods is sure to please.

First floor of this stylish Lake Tahoe home away from home:
The primary bedroom includes a comfortable king-size bed and features a cozy armchair and flat panel TV and patio balcony to enjoy your forest views. The guest bedroom, which is down the hall from the primary features two bunk beds. Both bedrooms share a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo.

Head upstairs to the living area which features an open living area with vaulted ceilings, a cozy gas fireplace, and a flat-screen TV. A charming balcony off the living room invites you to enjoy the alpine scenery. The updated kitchen is sure to please and has a delightful breakfast bar with seating for four. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area accommodates four guests. There is also a full bath with a tub/shower combo on this level.

Head up to the loft bedroom, where you will find a comfortable queen size murphy bed.

The grounds outside feature lovely landscaping, and there is so much to do, you'll have a hard time deciding: a game of tennis, swimming in the seasonal pool, soaking in the hot tub, playing billiards at the clubhouse, taking on the parcourse, or hiking and biking on the trails right at Carnelian Woods.

This unit is one of the closest to the lake and 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.

NOTE: Carnelian Woods Amenities: Hot Tubs are Typically open daily in summer, Fridays and Saturdays only in winter, spring and fall. Pool and Tennis open summer only. Amenity access never guaranteed. Please check website for availability: carnelianwoodsorg

Perfect, quiet location

Our family loved this property. The location is very quiet, the condo was SUPER clean. Being a germaphobe, that meant a lot to me. We walked to the beach every day. The community pool is huge and lovely, but we only went once because, well, the beach...Property management was easily reachable and helpful. If we ever make it back to Tahoe, we would choose this property again. We did not end up bringing our dog with us, but the location would have been perfect for her as well!

Great location at the right price

Everything was as advertised. Very clean and neat. I spent a lot of time in the kitchen and sometimes condo rental kitchens can be hit or miss. This one has everything I needed. Close proximity to the lake made it easy for us to get some great family pics. Twice I reached out to office about about small issues and they were prompt in replying. We had a great stay
