Retreat to this wonderful lakeview home with breathtaking panoramic views!

Enjoy relaxed living on a bluff above Lake Tahoe. Nestled in a hollow out of the prevailing wind, every room in this home looks out over the lake, with views across Crystal Bay Point and along the beautiful east shore. Be amazed by every mood the lake has to show, from the sun line rising on the Eastern Sierra to spectacular full moon nights which can be enjoyed from the private hot tub on the deck. Each room is tastefully decorated and the beds have high thread count linens, down comforters, and lots of soft pillows.

Our open floor plan has a master suite with queen bed upstairs off the living room/great room. The remaining bedrooms (second master suite with queen bed, and two queen bedrooms) are downstairs off the family room. We have a wonderful wood stove in the family room that heats the whole house and firewood is provided. The attached apartment has 1 queen bed in the bedroom with interior access to the apartment from the main house, as well as from the garage.

With 3500 sq. ft. of total living space there is room for everyone. There's a two car garage and plenty of off street parking. Enjoy High Speed Internet/Wi-Fi and Cable TV through out the home. We are located just one block from the lake, close to ski areas and casinos, Garwoods and 7-Eleven are just down the road.

The pictures don’t do the view justice
The view of the lake was much wider and better than I expected from the listing. Sleeping setup was perfect for 10 people. There is a 6th queen bed but it isn’t in a private room ( shares a common space ) in “the apartment. Our priority was a large house with a good view and this was better than I could have hoped for. I would go back.

The home was very beautiful. It had so much room for family. Enjoyed the evenings sitting on the deck looking at the water or sitting in the hot tub. Waking up and going to bed every day looking at Lake Tahoe was the highlight of our stay.

Great place for vacation!
This was the perfect house for our family vacation. Great gathering space and fantastic patio with breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe. Owner is easy to contact if needed, but all the right information was provided in advance. Would stay here again if the opportunity was available.

Family gathering for 8 to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary.
The house was perfect for our three small families, ranging in ages from 6 to 70. The view of the lake is spectacular and the location of the house on Carnelian Bay in North Tahoe is great. We have stayed in South and North Tahoe and prefer the latter. If you love wooden boats, be sure to visit Sierra Boat Company.

Perfect Tahoe Property for a Family Gathering
As several people have noted in other reviews, the view is even better than the pictures! We were a family group of 8 adults and two toddlers. The house was very comfortable for us and could have easily handled two more adults (which we had initially planned but a last minute Covid infection left 2 adults not able to travel). It is very well equipped with everything you will need - we cooked many meals in, and also barbequed on the gas grill on the deck one night. The beds were all very comfortable, and the family rooms both on the main floor and downstairs were very relaxing. Don't miss the hot tub! Everyone in our family agreed this was one of the best places we have stayed and would gladly visit again.

Perfect Place to Stay on Lake Tahoe!
Our family stayed here for a week (6 adults and 2 kids) and it was perfect! We loved the view ❤️, the layout of the house, all the comfortable sitting areas inside and outside, the hot tub, and the flat terraced portion of the backyard (great for playing Mulkey). The beds were very comfortable and the cool nights made for great sleeping conditions with plenty of bedding available. The two kitchens were extremely well stocked with dishes, cookware, bakeware, utensils, and spices. Multiple large TVs and great internet. The hosts were very responsive to questions and check in was a breeze. Carnelian Bay is an excellent location. We enjoyed a beautiful view of the lake and an easy drive to Tahoe City, Kings Beach, and the East Shore Trail (all of which I recommend visiting). I think the north side of Lake Tahoe is much more relaxing and beautiful than South Lake Tahoe. It's less crowded and there are so many great views of the lake. We went horseback riding at Alpine Meadows Stables - which was a short drive - and the horses were great! Magic Carpet Miniature Golf was also a great activity. We drove down to Emerald Bay and hiked the Cascade Falls trail. This trail was perfect for all of us - very scenic, not too difficult, and at the end you get to cool your feet in the water above the falls. 🙂 Staying at this house allowed us to experience the amazing beauty of Lake Tahoe in a truly peaceful and relaxing way.

We had 3 generations, ages 2 days old to 63 years old. This property was the perfect fit for our whole family. Everything we could’ve needed was provided, including crib, high chair, beach chairs. The view was spectacular and the property well maintained and very clean. We HIGHLY recommend this home for any larger families.

Best VRBO and best view I have stayed in yet!
We loved staying in this spacious, beautiful, clean home in Carnelian Bay. One of the best VrBO homes I’ve stayed in to date. The view of Lake Tahoe was so peaceful and we had some fresh snow at night, which made it even more picturesque. The hot tub was a big hit and our furry friends enjoyed being with us in Tahoe. The beds were very comfortable and plenty of bathrooms for everyone. We would definitely come back! Thank you for a lovely stay.

There were 11 of us and the house was roomy and ultra comfortable. The beds were wonderful, the kitchen was supplied with everything we could need, and it was a wonderful experience for all of us. The view of the lake was the icing on the cake. Our kids had fun sledding down the side slope of the house and we all loved the hot tub overlooking the lake.
