Need a place in North Tahoe for the whole family (or two families) to stay under one roof With room to sleep 9 guests, this is the perfect townhome for your Forest Retreat!

Plenty of windows allow for natural light inthis bright and open space. The kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring were recently renovated so it's sure to please. The entry level includes two bedrooms, one boasts a comfortable king-size bed and the other with two bunk sets. One of the bedrooms has a glass sliding door to the covered deck and the other has a window seat. There is also a full bath with a tub/shower. The laundry closet is just across the hall. On the second level, the living room, dining area, and kitchen are all together, so everyone can gather in one place. You’ll also find the third bedroom with king-size bed, large windows, and window seat, and the second full bathroom. Plenty of bath linens are provided.

In the living room, relax and warm up by the gas fireplace. There's a flat screen TV with cable and DVD player and Wi-Fi to keep everyone entertained, or, sink into the cozy sofas and connect with a good conversation. Step out on the adjacent covered deck to admire the forest views (BBQ NOT AVAILABLE - PLACER COUNTY ORDINANCE). With all those people, at times it’s easier and more economical to stay in for meals. The well-equipped kitchen features stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops and includes everything you need to prepare a hearty breakfast, a quick snack, or a home-cooked dinner. You can also grill on the deck barbeque. The dishwasher makes clean up a breeze. There are six chairs at the large dining table and four more chairs at the breakfast bar.

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 Forest Retreat 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.

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.

    The stay was nice. I really like the fireplace and the large window where you could see everything outside. It was in a great location. We enjoyed visiting the clubhouse.However, it wasn’t as clean as I would like. Besides that we had a good stay.

    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 amenities were great! We took advantage of the club house and played all the games. We also played pickleball and swam every day in the pool and soaked in the hot tub. I gave the home a 4 because it could have used some touch up paint in the stairwell and in the living room along the baseboard. I am also not a fan of carpeting in a rental. Other than that, the unit was comfortable, and the location was perfect. The management was very helpful.

    We enjoyed our stay; the place was perfect for 4 people! It was clean, cozy and convenient. The only few issues was the lack of wifi. It worked well the first day but then shut out for the rest. The kitchen also lacked basic essentials like olive oil and tin foil. We were unaware that the bathrooms didn’t include soap, shampoo or conditioner which wasn’t that big of a deal since we brought travel sizes anyway, but would’ve been nice to have! Lastly, the walkways were not salted during our stay. The parking lot and paths were frozen with ice and each of us fell once. I think they should have someone come once a week for safety! All in all it was a nice stay and we will be back if a condo is available next time.

    It was a great outing. We had fun specially the kids having one of the young bears to welcome us in the neighborhood! The area is very convenient to main hwy and main grocery store Safeway so whatever items we missed to bring it was very easy to obtain. The property is clean neat and has plenty of room for our group. The only thing I dislike was too many stairs lol for peeps like me who are getting next in line at aging it was tough getting up & down. Plus I wasn’t sure if there was AC? We kept lowering the thermostat but the temperature kept climbing up during mid day it gets warm in late afternoon. In the rooms and in the kitchen/living room area.The management was very helpful, very prompt on replying, very considerate with the process and answering questions after multiple exchange of messages.

    This property was overall a comfortable place to lay our heads at night. Everything pictured was accurate. The open stairs to the third level are quite easy for small children to fit through. The carpet smells slightly of cats. The dishwasher does not work well

    We had a great time! The property was exactly as described perfect for our family weekend. I learned my daughter in law is quite the puzzle person thanks to the puzzles available. Home was clean and very well stocked. Host was quick to respond and sent all needed information. The only thing I would suggest adding is a curtain over the middle high living room window. In the evening it made kitchen duty difficult due to the direct line of the sun. We hope to stay again

    Property as expected with everything we needed. The beds were all squeaky which wasn’t ideal as each adult was sharing with a child and trying not to wake them. Kitchen and bathroom all good. The balconies were filthy (thick dust on every surface) which was a shame as would have been nice to sit outside. The lounge wasn’t great as the sofas were not very comfortable and the TV was on top of the fireplace which meant you got bad neck ache unless you reclined a lot which you couldn’t do on the hard sofas! The rec centre was great, v quiet when we went and pool was lovely. Nice short walk to Patton Beach which was good for stone skimming and we hired SUPs from Waterman who were all very nice and friendly. All in all a good stay

    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: The rental was fine. It appears that someone should go through the rental and throw out all the items left from previous tenants. Everything there looks like it has been left from previous people. It’s all old doesn’t match. Lots of **** in all the drawers. The rental itself is fine and as described in the write up. Note the deck fits 2 people, no more, very small. It just really needs to be cleaned up and all new items in the kitchen would make you feel like the place was taken care off.
