Relaxing Carnelian Bay Retreat - within walking distance to lake

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Carnelian Bay Retreat, it is a beautiful home, it was very clean, cozy and comfortable for everyone, I highly recommend it for your next vacation destination in beautiful North Lake Tahoe.

Nice place to stay

We stayed at this property last weekend with my family and had a wonderful experience. The home is beautiful, very comfortable, and fully equipped with everything needed for a great stay. The location and overall setup made our time there very enjoyable.Communication from the beginning was excellent—everything was clear, quick, and well organized. Dave and Carolyn were very kind, responsive, and professional, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Our stay exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely recommend this property. We would be happy to stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. The cabin was very clean, spacious, and well maintained. The fireplace created a cozy and relaxing atmosphere that we truly enjoyed. The rooms and bathrooms were spotless, and the kitchen was clean and fully functional, making our stay very comfortable.The manager, Steve, was extremely responsible and kind. He answered the phone on the first call and was very helpful throughout our stay. Overall, it was a great experience, and we would definitely recommend this cabin to others.

The cabin was absolutely because, cozy, comfy and perfect for a Tahoe gateway. The owner was incredibly kind and really tried to help us when issues came up, which is why I’m giving this high rating.The heater didn’t work properly in the living room. The property manager brought us wood and even sent someone to fix it, but unfortunately, the living room never worked. The TV only worked on the first day. The Wifi didn’t work at all. The network name did not match what was provided and the password kept saying it was incorrect. It was hard to contact the owner since there was no internet connection inside the cabin. I was able to message him outside the cabin and he kindly tried to help by giving us a new network , but that didn’t work neither. Despise these issues the owners effort and kindness really stood out. He did the best to make things right and that means a lot. If the heater, TV me Wi-Fi were fixed, this place would be perfect.

Beautiful property, very clean, and friendly neighbors

The home was relaxing and cozy. My family and i really enjoy the location and the proximity to the lake. The host also provided a list of activties, restaurants, and things to do which we did. It was a really enjoyable stay.

It has everything you need. Quiet neighborhood which is great for relaxing.

The house was exactly how it was listed. It was very well kept, beautiful and clean. It was also in a nice neighborhood and great location near everything we were looking to do well we were there. Thank you for allowing my family and I to stay there. This is our 2nd time in Tahoe and will definitely be back again soon!

We’ve been coming to Lake Tahoe for over 60 years, and staying at Carolyn and Dave’s Carnelian Bay Retreat truly made this year’s trip remarkable. The home felt warm and welcoming as soon as we walked in—spotlessly clean, thoughtfully furnished, and the perfect haven that let us relax and reconnect. It provided a wonderful base for exploring every corner of the lake, from serene shoreline mornings to mountain adventures in the afternoon.For our family, Tahoe is more than just a pretty place; it’s where our story and traditions continue, and having both my parents and my aunt rest here makes our time at the lake even more meaningful. Every visit for us is a chance to honor them and keep our family’s legacy alive, creating new memories with our families along the way.Carnelian Bay Retreat was everything we hoped for: comfortable, well-equipped, and full of little touches that made it feel like a true home away from home. We feel grateful for a space that supported both reflection and joy, helping us weave another special chapter into our family’s Tahoe journey. We’ll absolutely be back, this is a five-star home in every sense.

Beautiful, clean and cozy home. Quiet neighborhood. Great location. Perfect place to make memories. Owners were friendly and communication was great.

House was as advertised. Great location and very clean. Would stay again!

Amazing place and location. Will not be disappointed.

We had a great time. The house is on a quiet cul de sac where we could all play and enjoy the nature. Lots of stuff to do within 10-15 minutes and the house was very clean, lots of bedrooms and fun for all!

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! Dave and Carolyn were very friendly hosts -- for example, they went out of their way to warn us of an upcoming storm. Very cozy and clean cabin in a nice neighborhood. Would happily stay here again!

It was a cute cabin. Perfect for 6 people and the boys loved the pool table. Very nice area as well.

We had a nice time skiing and relaxing at the cabin. The lighting is a bit dim in the living area but it was cozy and kitchen had all the supplies that we needed.

The cabin was warm, inviting, and beautifully nestled in the scenic surroundings of the area. It had all the comforts of home, with thoughtful touches that made the stay feel extra special.The interior was clean and well-maintained, with a charming rustic feel that added to the cozy experience.Overall, it was an excellent stay, and I’d highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway in Lake Tahoe. I’m already looking forward to coming back!

Great home.

We had a great time at the cabin.

Property was very clean and home was very well stocked with anything you may need

Loved the layout of the cabin with the sunken area in living room and outside deck. This exceeded our expectations as well as all the kitchen supplies and games! It was perfect for our extended family!
