About this property

Mountain Song: 1 BR, 1.5 BA Townhouse in Carnelian Bay, Sleeps 4

• Bedroom 1 (Loft): King Bed
• Living Room: Queen Sofa Sleeper

Mountain Song provides the perfect place for a great getaway on the north shore. This Carnelian Bay townhome sleeps up to four guests and boasts filtered views of Lake Tahoe’s crystal blue waters. When you're not skiing down the slopes or enjoying a day out on Lake Tahoe, the Carnelian Woods complex features excellent amenities at a super convenient location in North Tahoe!
On the entry level you’ll find the comfortably furnished living room including queen sofa bed, gas fireplace, flat screen TV, and glass sliding door for taking in the views or accessing the balcony. Outside, the veranda offers a peaceful backdrop for morning coffee, or a glass of wine in the afternoon. Use the Wi-Fi to book your next stay with us or to check email.
When all the fresh air and beautiful scenery make you hungry, head into the well-equipped, updated kitchen. A hearty breakfast, soup and sandwiches, or a roast beef dinner are easy in this space. Enjoy your meal at the dining table, then the dishwasher makes clean up a breeze.
For your convenience, there’s a half bath and laundry area on the main floor.
When you’re ready to turn in, there are plenty of linens for the comfy queen sofa sleeper. Or head upstairs to the loft bedroom to stretch out and unwind. You’ll wake up refreshed after a night on the king bed. There’s an accordion partition for added privacy. This level includes a full bath with a tub/shower combo and plenty of bath linens.
After resting in the mountain air, venture outside and keep everyone entertained in this perfect vacation setting. The Recreation Center / Lodge features a swimming pool, two outdoor hot tubs, locker room saunas, billiards, tennis and bocce courts, and a fitness trail. 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 winter fun.

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 every season, 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 and winter, Saturdays only in spring and fall. Pool and Tennis open summer only. Amenity access never guaranteed. Please check website for availability: carnelianwoodsorg

Mountain Song recap
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: I enjoyed Mt. Song off season in late September during ideal conditions, except for some road repair between Carnelian Bay and Tahoe City. It’s a good location, and offers some memorable views—a full moon over the lake in the distance, and alpine silhouettes at sunset. Overall, comfortable although we couldn’t figure out the fireplace (no need.) Nice amenities overall. Be ready to hike a bit between parking and condo.

We were surprised by the lovely view of the lake from the back deck. This unit was very clean. The kitchen was well equipped. Linens and towels were excellent quality. All in all I would highly recommend this unit.

A Basic Condo
Overall this condo worked for our stay, but when comparing it to other condos we've stayed in for ski trips, this one was just okay. Did it work? Yes. Would we look for something different next time? Yes. A few things to note if considering this location: -Accessibility: you must walk up/down a paved sidewalk to get to and from the parking lot, and there are steps to get into the condo and steps to the loft. -Temperature: Furnace is loud, and not super efficient. The temp difference between downstairs and upstairs is significant, with the upstairs being much warmer as one would expect. Fireplace is nice! -Kitchen knives are not ideal if you are planning to cook, and pans stick. Some basics left by others - lots of sugar, no salt when we were there, as an example. -No Kleenexes - the listing is accurate here as they do not say they will provide, but it is something to note as you will need to provide. Toilet paper is coarse, so you may want to buy some of this too if you are staying for awhile. -When we were there, the clubhouse was closed on Sundays and Mondays for use. Just something to know if you are hoping for a soak in the hot tub after a long day of activity and your stay includes these days. Check-in notes included the link to the HOA and this info was in there, but we didn't review the info in the link in advance, which is on us. -Property management company was responsive and helpful via email, which we did appreciate before and during our stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My daughter lives nearby and the property is in a perfect location for us. I have stayed in this unit several times. It is perfect for me and sleepovers with my granddaughters. It is clean, comfortable and has everything you need. The management company was very responsive to our needs. It snowed for many days and the roads and walkways were kept clear.

Nice property
The unit was clean and very compact but all spaces were well planned. Would have appreciated more instructions for the TV. Description should also include a warning about access to the unit. The path from the parking pad to the front door, which is somewhat steep, and probably slick in bad weather, would not work for someone with mobility issues.

Had a wonderful week, but…
There were no instructions for any of the 5 remote controls. The TV required a code to rent movies but the property manager could not provide the code to us because we were in “someone’s private home”. The guy in the recreation center had an unfriendly mafioso attitude. Nevertheless, the place was well furnished and we had a great vacation.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Future renters should be warned that the entrance walk from the parking lot is not suitable for those with disabilities due to its steep and long distance. Winter would be treacherous at best.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The sheets were soft and beds comfortable. The space was fine and worked for our stay. I had a hurt foot, so the walk from parking to the unit wasn’t easy. There were 9 pages of instructions with the unit number buried in the middle. Much of the instructions did not apply to this rental. There were no instructions about using the TV - and 6 remotes for AV equipment. The internet did work fine. The unit is high on a hill, so plan to drive to the beach or pool. Overall, it was fine. I probably wouldn’t stay there again.

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: The Mountain song get away was as described. It was very clean and cozy. The kitchen, though small, was well-designed, appliances were new and stocked with cookware. View of trees and lake in background was beautifully breathtaking. Sofa is uncomfortable, would recommend an upgrade and suggest letting guests know when the pool and other amenities will not be available. But this was a great getaway in a quiet location. I would absolutely recommend.

Dated property but quiet, restful stay.
The property was in need of some updates, but overall suited our needs. I've also never been asked to clean a property as I was by this property manager (like take out all the trash, collect all the linens, etc), especially since paying a hefty cleaning fee, but again the property was adequate for our stay and we left it in immaculate condition.

Poor experience at this Vrbo. Most of bullet points on ad we’re incorrect. The property was not clean. There was a melted shaft piece of plastic on the main sheet of bed and we could not communicate with anyone to help change the sheet. No extra sheets in Vrbo. Technology outdated, extremely loud heating system, dirty carpet, no hot tub access.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: No hair dryer in unit. Odd? Pathways SLICK with snowfall Sat evening, asphalt paths are steep to condo, and the railings are not contiguous all the way down (and some wobble when you hold them!) The paths should be gritted/salted, or at least fore-warned about! This is a safety issue, imho. Everything else was great! Very comfortable. Loved that there was an electric kettle. I'd appreciate an 11am check out. I've never stayed anywhere with a 10am check out and I found it challenging to get me and 2 kids out of the unit; emptying trash, fridge, and carrying everything uphill to our car.

Great Location and Clean
This is a nice location and property for 2 people or two people with two kids. The place was clean and the pictures represented the location well. The only downsides are that Covid has limited the hot tub usage to Friday and Saturdays from noon-8:45. Also, they have placed a speak and shelf too low behind couch. We both hit our heads on it several times. I ended up wrapping a blanket around it to soften the blow. They should remove this or place it somewhere else. It's very dangerous, especially when children are staying there. Great place overall and would rent again.

Great location, good house, horrible property management company
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. 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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was fabulous. House was very clean and in good condition except for the sofabed. I would suggest bringing your own blow up mattress to avoid the chiropractor. Having booked with VRBO for 10 years I have never had such a problematic time with a property management company. They sent me at least 10 emails for a 2 day stay. No one has ever made me pay more than the price quoted by VRBO, these guys wanted a $300 deposit on top of what I paid AFTER everything was confirmed by VRBO. They wanted to know all the ages of the visitors and the EXACT times of checkin and checkout. We asked for a 1 hour delayed checkout and they said no...apparently the cleaners need 6 hours to vacuum a 900 sq ft home as we had washed all the dishes and taken out the trash. Checkout is at 10am which is ridiculous as checkin was at 4pm. I would avoid this place just to avoid dealing with the property management company.
