• Bedroom 3: King Bed

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 in this 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 wood-burning 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.

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: carnelianwoodsorg

It rental was fine.
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.

Unit 39
Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: Great unit to stay at. MAJOR ISSUE: At no time during booking/billing process, did it state that the pool woud be closed on Sunday & Monday due to staffing issues. It is only mentioned on the HOA site. Minor issue: The unit did not have any broom available.
