Mountain High: 2 BR, 1.5 BA Townhouse in Carnelian Bay, Sleeps 4

• Bedroom 1 (Loft): King Bed
• Bedroom 2: Queen Bed

BBQ - Not available due to new County Policy.

This charmingly decorated Carnelian Woods townhome sleeps four guests—perfect for your next vacation and ideal for two couples or a small family. When you're not skiing down the slopes or enjoying a day out on Lake Tahoe, the complex has excellent amenities—a pool, hot tub, tennis courts, and more, all at a super convenient location in North Tahoe!
Your home away from home features beautiful wood flooring and vaulted ceilings. Put your feet up in the open living room and warm up by the gas fireplace; you’ll feel right at home relaxing on the comfortable furniture. Catch up on the news or watch a movie on the flat screen TV. Listen to tunes on the stereo or use the Wi-Fi to make a game of finding the greatest number of songs with “Mountain High” in the title.
Barbeque on the adjacent covered deck year-round and take in the forest view as you sip your favorites beverage. Or prepare a gourmet meal in the sparkling, fully-equipped kitchen with granite countertops, two-tone wood cabinets, and stainless-steel appliances, including the all-important dishwasher. There is seating for four at the nearby table.
If your clothes get wet playing in the snow or lake, toss a load of laundry in the handy washer and dryer.
The downstairs half bath is adjacent to the bedroom with queen bed and desk. Upstairs on the loft you’ll find a comfy king bed and a full bathroom. Both bathrooms include brushed nickel fixtures and plenty of bath linens.
When you’re ready to venture outside, 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.

Mountain High 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, Friday and Saturdays the rest of the year. Pool and Tennis open summer only. Amenity access never guaranteed. Please check website for availability: carnelianwoodsorg

Weekend Stay

Property managers were responsive, easy to communicate with, and able to accommodate a late check out.Location is GREAT.The unit was clean and quite basic (had salt and pepper / plenty of TP). Thankfully the heat/fire place worked well. Definitely bring a cozy blanket for the winter. One thing to note that I did not see posted in the directions is that the hot tub/sauna have very specific (somewhat inconvenient) operating hours and rules. If you want to hit the hot tub after the slopes you may need to queue up (moves quick, though)!Don’t forget to bring your blu rays

Good location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 condo was very clean which was appreciated. The location was perfect as well. It is extremely basic and did leave more to be desired. Probably the most bare bones places I’ve stayed in. One small, thinblanket on the couch in the dead of winter, no soap in the shower, no extra pillows beyond the two in the beds,, towels, 4 rolls of TP, one roll paper towels(we didn’t need extras but just noticed how different it was from most others). The kitchen was probably the most bare bones. Other reviews said there was salt and pepper but we only had salt. Maybe one of the other groups snagged the salt! ;) no nonstick spray or olive oil to use in the old pans, no baggies, foil, or Saran Wrap. It was interesting how to figure out how to store leftover food. Glasses are kid size and cookware is old and had to be cleaned before use. The downstairs bed is also extremely soft. My back was aching every morning. TV only has cable. No streaming (which wasn’t advertised but just noted). Overall the place is clean, fireplace is nice, view out the back is nice, but be prepared to bring every single thing you might need. I’d probably stay here again and just be prepared to have to bring what we need.

Great stay but some inconveniences due to snow

Overall great stay and I rated 5/5, but we hit some inconveniences. The grill wasn't operational due to snow covering the gas valve, we tried our best to dig it out but it seems to be so deep outside of the balcony that we could figure it out. Also on the last day the power went out and we ended up sleeping in the cold.

Nice Stay, Bring Your Necessities

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: Good location, nice accomodations, clear communication with property managers. A couple things we were not prepared for - 1) Bring everything you'll need. They don't carry any extras: no extra towels, toilet paper (2 rolls in each bathroom) paper towels (1 back up). Also only found salt and pepper in cabinets. If you're planning on cooking, bring everything you're goin got need.2. The king size bed is in the loft area, open to the rest of the house. This is also where the only shower is located. We weren't expecting that but we made it work.3. Very limited delivery options. Unfortunately we had car trouble on our last night when we were planning on going out for dinner. Roadside assistance couldn't find anyone to come out and help us without it being way overpriced ($300-$450 for a battery jump). We decided to order food instead. No Doordash, Uber Eats, Postmates available. The only place we could get to deliver food was Jiffy's Pizza, which was ok but not the greatest. Overall it was a comfortable stay and would recommend the property just come well prepared.

Comfortable Rental with Minimal Amenities

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we really enjoyed our time at Mountain High. The location is great - its in a family-friendly neighborhood, surrounded by beautiful woodsy trees.The airbnb itself was underwhelming. Though the listing does state that minimal amenities are provided (no shampoo, conditioner, butter, etc), it was still surprising to be in such a bare bones airbnb. We've never stayed anywhere that didnt even have butter in the fridge or sugar in the cabinet. You really do have to bring everyyyyything you want for a comfortable stay. Additionally, there was a lot of cat hair in the rental (?) which is odd since the listing states no pets.We were comfortable overall, but I think I'd find something with more creature comforts the next time.

We had a problem with an appliance, and the property management was quick and thorough in their response, with great communication.

Great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The condo/townhome is nice, very clean and had everything we needed. It was just my husband and me but it would be plenty spacious for two couples or a family with kids. The king bed in the master loft was very comfortable. The grill on the balcony was so nice, lots of places in the area didn’t seem to have a grill. Communication with hosts was super easy too! Would gladly stay again!

Cute condo w/ loft

We really enjoyed our stay! The gas fireplace was a great amenity to come home to after a day of skiing. Living area was cozy. Plenty of blankets for bedding. The place could use new pillows. Check in/out procedure was easy and there was a lot of communication between property owners via email. I just wish we would have known about the $300 security deposit prior to booking. Otherwise we had a great stay!
