Wonderful stay
We couldn’t have had a better experience! The property manager was always prompt about getting back to you for any reason. The location was ideal, especially if you have dogs as there is a dog beach very close. The only small issue is the number of remotes for the television/sound system; perhaps a few helpful hints would be nice. But otherwise the place is ideal; highly recommend it!

Awesome stay in this cozy and homey cabin
Me and my friends really enjoyed our stay in Lyn's cabin. Our favorite was the fireplace but the whole place was perfect for us and our dog. Lyn was very responsive, nice and accommodating. The place is even stocked up with food like cereals and spices. It's also close to the store/shops and Safeway. My only tiny issue was the dining set stored in the garage. The spot where we were supposed to park (we drove a SUV) was too small for our car to fit so we had to move the whole dining set to the other side but we did not mind doing that at all. It's probably because the garage is not always being in used and the cars are usually just parked in the driveway. But we had to park our car in because of the winter storm that weekend. All in all, it was an awesome stay. Thanks again, Lyn! We will definitely use your place again.

Comfy cabin full of character!
4 kids and 4 adults. We felt perfectly comfortable and enjoyed a lot of the games that are under the coffee table in the leaving room. Location is great and even our dog was so content. Dog beach, restaurants and lake are short walk. We prepared Easter dinner with 6 at the table and 2 at the counter. There were all of the cookware and serving platters we needed. Even cute linens if you want to dress the table. Would definitely book here again. The owner Lynn is very easy to contact and she is very accomodating.

Carnelian Bay Cozy Home
Very cozy home and the location is excellent. Within walking distance of Waterman's, and Gar for dining and Carnelian's dog beach for the pup and kids. Our host was great at communicating and giving directions. We enjoyed the house and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again or recommend this property. We did have two minor gripes. But it should be noted that the house is in a very outdoorsy and forested culdesac. 1. We found a dead mouse in a mouse trap under the sink. It smelled pretty bad and we had to air out the house and clean it. It looked like it had been there for a few days. I'm thinking the house was cleaned a few days before we arrived and the trap was still empty. 2. The house is dark. Used a flashlight to go to and from the car in the front/lower driveway. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay and I would recommend staying at this property.

Not a Hygiene place to stay
Lynn is a great host and very responsive, but the property and the furniture inside the property has lot of dust. Deep cleaning is much required. Our family went for a weekend to Tahoe to have a pleasant experience, but came back with huge disappointment. Three of our family fell sick with dust allergies and sore throat. I won’t recommend this place.

We had an excellent first day here! It was a lovely cabin. Unfortunately, there was night construction going on all night that made continuing our stay impossible. Lynn was very understanding and worked with Vrbo to get us a full refund. We will definitely try to come and stay at the cabin again in the future!

Great place for an R&R weekend
We had a wonderful time at the property. It was well equipped for a small group, with plenty of parking, beds, and lounging space. The kitchen had everything we needed since we cooked all our meals, and we loved how the beach was only a short walk away. It's an especially great space if you want to just stay in and hang out. We would definitely stay again.

Such a great gem
Lynn’s property is so cute and cozy. We had the best time here. The kitchen is well-equipped, the rooms are well-sized, and the bathrooms were super nice. There are two driveways— in total, 3 cars fit (without putting one in the garage). The location is unbelievable. Only 15 min drive to Northstar if you’re skiing, 10 min drive to Kings Beach. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice cozy property
The home was warm and cozy. The towels and pillows were newer and fluffy. The bed was comfortable but slightly sunken in the middle. Kitchen had everything we needed for basic meals. Property located right off the main road making it easily accessible even in winter. The bathrooms are in good condition, but note the stall shower floors are made of river rock so kids may have trouble standing on it. The tub is a good alternative for kids.

This cabin was super comfortable and cozy. It has lots of kitchen supplies, which made it convenient to cook/prepare meals. It's about a 15 minute drive to Northstar, which made it convenient to go skiing/snowboarding. I'd recommend this place for any families looking to hang out in north Lake Tahoe!

Storm of the century
We couldn’t be happier with this booking. We had planned for a holiday get together. First off it’s kind with the people involved. Then it snowed 15’ and no one was able to make it up to Tahoe safely. We were in co start communication with the owner. She was more than understanding. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future.

Charming Touches, Equipped Kitchen, Central Location
This was a beautiful, clean cabin with many handcrafted touches. Kitchen has plenty of cooking equipment. Central location close to town, kings beach. It is on a main road, not secluded, but didn’t notice any traffic noises. My only complaint is that a neighbor came over and accused us of deconstructing her retaining wall, which we did not do but still got charged for the damages. So be careful of the neighbor to the back of the cabin, crazy person. Other than that it was a nice stay.
