About this property

4 bedroom cabin with sauna close to Gar Woods

Our North Shore Lake Tahoe cabin is centrally located in a quiet Carnelian Bay neighborhood between Kings Beach and Tahoe City. We are just a few blocks off the lake and within walking distance to Gar Woods Pier Restaurant & Bar as well as The Old Post Office coffee shop. Stateline North Shore Casinos are only 10 minutes away and shopping or dining in Truckee is only about 15 minutes away.

The cabin has 3 stories. The main floor (middle) includes the kitchen, family room with wood burning stove, a bedroom (king), a full bathroom and the laundry room. Also, there is a large deck off of the main floor which includes a barbecue and a patio table & chairs. The upper floor (3rd) has 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom (room 1 has a king and room 2 has a king and 2 twins). The lower floor (1st) has a large family room with a couch and tv, and a bedroom with 2 queen beds. A sauna, a 1/2 bathroom, and a bathroom with a separate shower are also on the 1st floor.

Winter Activities: Alpine Meadows/Squaw Valley, Northstar, Diamond Peak, and Homewood are the closest ski resorts. There is also a sledding hill within 2 miles of the cabin with plenty of parking and snowmobile rentals and snowshoe trails as well. Northstar ice skating is always a favorite too. A bowling alley in Incline Village is about 9 miles away.

Summer Activities: Patton Beach is within walking distance to the house and Waterman's Landing offers coffee & food as well as kayak and stand up paddle board rentals. Sand Harbor Beach is only 13 miles away and Kings Beach is only 3 miles away. River Rafting on the Truckee River in Tahoe City is very popular and is only 6 miles from the cabin. There are numerous boat launches nearby and plenty of parking in the driveway for a boat trailer. Fishing in the Truckee River or the Little Truckee is a short drive as well. Many hiking trails are close to the house and Emerald Bay is a very easy day trip. Magic Carpet Miniature Golf is within walking distance to the cabin as well.

Family gathering

We had a great time in Tahoe. Kids all happy bobbing around the lake all day, lots of great food to share and epic game nights every evening. House had everything we needed and had plenty of room for all 7 of us. Good place to stay with a big group.

Cozy place and great location

It has a really good location, and the cabin has all the required amenities, only I wish they could clean the balconies from some of the rooms, they have lot of pine needles, spiderwebs and pollen, those we dint usually use them but I think doesn't give proper feeling of a clean place. The communication with the hosts is excellent, they are very responsive and very kind. I'll recommend it and will stay again there in the future.

Great property and neighborhood

Three couples and we all had our own floor! Bathrooms on each level. Great kitchen and a huge counter. Big living room, plenty of seating. Close to town and the lake. Flat drive in/drive out driveway for snowy conditions. Property owner was very responsive and fantastic to work with. 10 out of 10 will book again!

Great Place to Stay

Our group took full advantage of the winter activities nearby, from skiing at Northstar to hanging out at The Loft Bar at Palisades. The proximity to Gar Woods was also a nice way to enjoy the extended weekend. What made our experience truly great was the cabin's readiness for our arrival—spotless, well-stocked, plowed driveway and inviting. The easy check-in and out process, along with the cabin's comprehensive amenities, left us wanting for nothing. We're already looking forward to our next stay at this delightful cabin, and even hoping to explore some summer activities before next winter. Thank you for a stay that exceeded all our expectations and for the memories we've created.

Such an awesome cabin!

We had a great stay! Perfect for our larger group. We just wanted a relaxed weekend in some snow for my kids and a few family friends. It was perfect/ the backyard had a lot of open space for throwing snowballs and building snowmen. Safeway is a quick 5 minute drive away (if even that long), and we also visited the local snow park a short drive away for some sledding fun. Super easy to check in and out. And a great value compared to the prices of other rentals in the area. Hope to stay again next year!

Great spot for groups. Plenty of beds and room.

We needed a place that could comfortably fit 4 guys with our ski/snowboard gear for a long weekend. 4 Bedrooms along with the ground floor for our gear was great. We used the sauna each day after hitting the mountain. 20 min to Alpine without traffic. On saturday we left about 8am and it took us over an hour. Plan to leave by 7:30 or you'll be backed up in Tahoe City. Walking distance to Gar Woods which became our dinner and drinks hangout. Live music on the weekend. Great spot! Place is a bit dated (avocado toilets were actually cool!). Plenty of parking for 2 or 3 vehicles. The one thing we didn't love was having to clean up upon departure. Why charge a cleaning fee if we need to strip the beds and clean the kitchen?

Comfortable and Cozy Cabin

We really enjoyed staying at your cabin. There was plenty of room for our whole family to kick back and relax. The sauna was awesome and it was only a short walk to the beach and the lake. The house is well stocked and everything was great! We would definitely rent this cabin again!

Lovely summer stay

We rented this home to be close to family for a wedding. It’s very well equipped and has so much room to spread out. The iron was missing but the owner readily assisted us in getting one. I appreciated the quick and helpful responses. The upper two bedrooms get warm in the evening so I was glad that I brought a small fan. The kitchen has more than you could need to cook for a full house. The setting is beautiful and such a short walk to the rocky beach. We would stay again!

Multi-family stay

We traveled to the area for a weekend softball tournament. We ended up with three families staying here. It worked well for us. The kitchen was a bit tight. The bar seating was ample and convenient but that’s the only indoor seated dining option. We wish there had been fan(s) to circulate air on the third floor. Clean and comfortable for our large group. We all agreed if needed we’d stay here again.

Great place for groups!

We had 3 families spending the weekend, and waited to book until less than a month before we planned to go, so only had this place and one other left to choose from close to Homewood. So glad we chose this one! Lots of space, loved the sauna, the foozeball and the fireplace. Had a wonderful time. We would have liked to be closer to Homewood to save transit time to take our skiers to and from the slopes, but that couldn't be helped. Would gladly stay again!

Delightful, Well-Appointed Rental in Carnelian Bay.

The house is spacious and can accommodate many people. Everything was clean and it was easy to locate items necessary for the kitchen and bathrooms (extra towels, toilet paper, etc) plus there were ample cleaning materials at hand. Beds were quite comfortable and linens were in good shape. A number of TV's was available. We enjoyed the decks and being able to sit out at night to enjoy the cooler air. There was handy parking for two vehicles and more could fit in the driveway. There were many games for all ages and a foosball table (which I could never master!). Were it not so hot we would’ve gladly made a fire every night in the woodstove– ample wood supply – but we enjoyed the sauna. There were some beach items for use and we saw sleds tucked away in a closet. Instructions were clear and posted for easy reference. Contact with Brandi and Glenn was effortless. We all felt very welcome there and certainly were pleased with this rental.

Amazing home for a family getaway

We recently rented this cabin and the whole family loved the cabin. It has great space and very clean. Had everything we needed, everything!! They had extra sleds for the kids. Great space outside to play in the snow. And did I say clean!! Heater worked very well keeping us warm throughout the day and mostly at night. The kids loved the game room. They spent most of the time there watching tv and playing football. Stores very closed. Quiet neighborhood and location was great. We Definitely will come back to this house. And Brandi answered all my questions. We loved your home. We even cleaned everything and vacuumed before leaving the house. Thank you.
