About this property

Forest View: 3 BR, 2 BA Townhouse in Carnelian Bay, Sleeps 7

• Bedroom 1: King Bed
• Bedroom 2: Queen Bed
• Bedroom 3 (Loft): Three Twin Beds

Beautiful forest views, a large stone fireplace, and knotty pine accents add to the charm of this spacious townhome with room to sleep seven guests in Carnelian Bay. 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 master bedroom with a king-size bed and a glass sliding door to the covered deck. The second bedroom features a queen bed. There is also a full bath with a tub/shower and the laundry closet is just across the hall.
On the second level, there’s a comfortable sofa and two chairs with ottomans, providing the perfect spot for putting your feet up and taking in the Forest View through the glass sliding door. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and ambiance. Keep everyone entertained with Wi-Fi, a flat screen TV with cable, and a DVD player. This level also includes the second full bath with tub/shower. Plenty of bath linens are provided.
For home-cooked meals the kitchen provides all you’ll need to create meals and memories. A hearty breakfast or roasted chicken dinner are easy in this space where the dishwasher makes clean up a breeze. There’s a dining table with six chairs, plus three chairs at the breakfast bar. BBQ not available.
On the loft you’ll find three twin beds—a perfect space for the kids.
Breathe easy as the wind whispers through the pines while you relax and sip your favorite beverage on one of the decks. Unplug and unwind with a good conversation as you appreciate the Forest View, resting in Tahoe’s unhurried pace.
When you’re ready to venture outside, you’ll love 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: carnelianwoodso

Small 1970’s Townhouse
Pretty area. Lodge is a short drive away with working hot tub and broken sauna. Townhouse could not be any smaller. Two seater couch with 2 rocking style chairs. Not enough comfortable seating for adult family of 5. Beds are old and uncomfortable. Loft room has 3 old twin beds that are noisy and you can feel the springs. Overall-we won’t come back.

Family Vacation
We take family trips to Lake Tahoe every year. This has been a pretty spot to stay at because everything is so close. The lake is like 5 minutes away in car but you could go walking as well. It was a bit hard to find the town houses. We did how ever had a not so friendly experience when we went to enjoy the pool we felt discriminated by the guy there when we arrived but other than that we highly recommend this place. We are completely satisfied.

Quiet Outdated Condo in the Forest
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall our experience with this rental was ok, but slightly disappointing. The management company communicated well, booking and check-in was an easy process, and a minor issue with the kitchen range was handled promptly and professionally. Location is convenient to the lake and north shore attractions, but far enough off the main road to provide for peach and quite. We visited in the shoulder season, so expected some amenity limitations (e.g. pool closed); however, we were disappointed that almost all of the advertised development amenities were either not open or severely limited in hours. A simple inclusion of this info in the welcome email would have set expectations and prevented disappointment. The biggest factor impacting our experience was the outdated and worn furniture, kitchen utensils/appliances, and Motel 6 quality bath towels. The dishwasher was falling apart, the toaster barely worked, the random mishmash of kitchen utensils left much to be desired, and some of the items looked as if they had been in use since the late 80s. When we rent a place with a kitchen, we intend to use it and want the experience to be more akin to cooking at home than making due with leftovers from the thrift store. Did it keep us warm, dry, and safe? Yes. Were there positive aspects? Yes. Could you find a better overall experience in the area for a similar price? Very likely. We have stayed at many similar mountain town rentals across the west and unfortunately this was our least favorite due to the aforementioned issues.

A Disappointing Stay at Forest View
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I do not recommend this Rental. The listing does not accurately represent the condition of the unit which has a significant amount of deferred maintenance. Be prepared for peeling paint in the bathrooms, a broken kitchen faucet, cracked lamp shades, literal holes in the walls and openings in the ceilings plugged with tishoes. The property management company blamed the issues on an unresponsiveness owner and did not take responsibility for renting out this unit in an unacceptable condition. If you can afford to spend a few extra dollars l would highly recommend avoiding this place.

Community building management
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When looking for a place to stay one of the attractions to this property was the community area for my son and his friends for his 18th birthday ski trip. On Saturday evening we went to the community center for hot tub and some games. At 8:00 we were told by the manager that they were closing early, all the game room was already powered down!Not only did management not want us there he never offered any assistance and was noticeably frustrated we wanted to play pool, it was only 9:00! Come to find out the change machine was turned off and he knew that and his comment was “ I don’t give change try the machine but it may not work! My son ran back to the condo to get change and came back to a pool table that was also broken! This was to be the evening to enjoy the facility but in stead we spent the evening being frustrated and intentionally forced out of the facility.I will not be coming back to your complex and will be sure to spread the bad news to friends and family.

Great Location perfect for family
The condo was dated but very clean. Perfect place for a family with two bedrooms and a loft for the kids. Two bathrooms made it easy for everyone to get ready for the day. We loved having the fireplace. Lots of extra pillows and blankets and a good stocked kitchen. We would definitely rent here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After the big snow storm in Dec, the rental we were on our way to, canceled on us. We scrambled to find a new rental and we were able to get this one. The place was a little out dated, but clean. Great location, not to far away from the ski slops. We had a great time and will definitely keep this place in mind the next time we go up.

Property management charges extras
The main issue for me was that the property management company charged me for insurance even though i purchased insurance from VRBO and i never agreed on purchasing another insurance with the property management company. About the place: it is old and rusty, no essentials like shampoo and coffee. There was sand on the bed when part of our party arrived. It’s cheap, so the service and place is what you get for that price.

Nice, but could use some maintenance.
Comfortable place. Main bedrooms on entry level, kitchen and living room on 2nd. Teflon pans were worthless- spent more time scraping than cooking. Luckily we read this in a previous review and brought our own pan. Sliding screens to balconies need their rollers fixed. Hot tub closes early- we were never able to use it. Overall, a nice place. Greeted by a small bear in the parking lot on arrival. He ran away when we yelled at it. Quite exciting!

Beautiful forest view and quite place
Our family had relax and quite time in this beautiful place. This townhome has great forest view from balcony and quite neighborhood. Close to many attractions, bike trails, and ski resorts. Response from property management was very fast and helpful. Appliances are a little bit out-dated, but no problem for us. Kids loved loft. The loft guard rail was a little loose.and we felt unsafe if kids lean on it. Our kids are old enough to be careful, but We would like come again.

Adequate for what we needed
Property served our purpose well. The condo is definitely extremely dated and lacking in some items you would expect when renting a place (shampoo, coffee, etc) But it served our purpose very well. Communication with the rental company was excessive. I guess better safe than sorry, but also a bit overwhelming and annoying.
