On the entry level, you’ll find the master bedroom with a queen bed, a TV, DVD player, and a glass sliding door to the covered deck with views of beautiful Lake Tahoe. The second bedroom features another queen bed. There is also a full bath with a tub/shower and a laundry closet across the hall.

On the second level, a sofa sleeper and two comfortable chairs provide the perfect spot for putting your feet up and taking in the view through the huge picture window and glass sliding door. There's a wood-burning, free-standing fireplace for warmth and added ambiance. Keep everyone entertained with Wi-Fi, a flat screen TV with cable, and a DVD player. This level also includes the second full bath with tub/shower. Plenty of bath linens are provided.

For home-cooked meals, then finish meal prep in the kitchen—with all you’ll need to create meals and memories. A healthy breakfast or roast beef dinner are easy in this space where the dishwasher makes clean up a breeze. There are six chairs at the dining table plus three more chairs at the breakfast bar. NOTE: BBQ not available.

On the loft you will find two twin beds and a TV, the perfect space for kids of all ages.

At Sierra Bella, take time to unplug from the daily grind. Listen to the wind whisper through the pines while you relax and sip your favorite beverage on one of the decks. Unwind and reconnect with good conversations as you appreciate the sparkling lake and forest views and rest in Tahoe’s unhurried pace.

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.

Your home away from home 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.

Lake view, pristine water, peaceful, quiet, the lodge with pool tables, ping pong, air hockey, spa, huge pool, sauna, showers, kitchen, bbq, tennis, pickleball courts and close to Tahoe City with its bike routes and Lazy Truckee River rafting!

Great value and good location

This house was great for a group of 8 young adults. There were a handful of (LARGE) carpenter ants which seemed to be living in the house however, and when I mentioned this to the property manager upon departure they claimed they couldn't see any ants....but we definitely saw them.

Great location, horrible inside

We knew when we rented this condo that it was outdated, however it was actually outdated plus not kept up. The beds and pillows were old and lumpy, several pieces of furniture were broken, there were holes in the walls and in the screen door, stains on the carpet and I could go on.The location, view and clubhouse were amazing, however it was not a restful stay. We spent time fixing toilets and furniture and not sleeping at night.If you like this location I would recommend renting a different unit.

Outdated

The Lakeview was awesome. The unit needs some updating. TV was 32 inches ridiculously small. The dishwasher racks were missing parts so rack almost fell out every time. Refrigerator/freezer iced up. Carpets were dirty. Bathroom door upstairs did not lock. Bar stool broken. Drywall by the barstool had a whole in it. Recliner didn't work. Hole where lever would have been. Also a had a hole in the drywall next to the broken barstool King size bed in the master would have been nice.On the positive side when we had a problem with the toilets the repairs was quick.We have stayed at carnelian woods many times over the last 49 years.I would definitely stay at carnelian woods again but not this unit.

Comfy and quiet place in the trees

Staying in this condo for our first family trip to Tahoe was perfect! The photos were a good representation of this 3 story house. The main bedroom and queen bed were on the first floor and shared a bathroom. The kitchen and living space were on the second floor and the two twin beds are in the loft area on the third level. The home is older and though everything isn’t brand spanking new, it was comfy and had everything we needed for a week long trip. It had plenty of towels and toilet paper and the kitchen had all tools needed for meals. Check in and out we’re all done with no need to visit the rental company. This made it super easy. The view of the lake, though further than I had hoped was still perfect for viewing while having morning coffee. The location was perfect for us. There is a small rocky beach that is walkable down the hill. However we found ourselves going to Forest Beach or Secline. Also at the bottom of the hill is the Clubhouse with pool and hot tubs. My family spent a few hours playing bocce down there too. Driving to Heavenly for the gondola ride was about an hour but the views and stops along the way made it seem super close. We also rented kayaks and paddle boards to check out Powerboat beach and later rented a boat for tubing and wake boarding. Mixed in the week were hikes to Monkey Rock, Martis Fire Look Out and Eagle Rock. It was a great week for our family and there was much to do to keep 3 teens occupied! The memories we made were priceless!

Disappointing

First the positive, I like the location, well stocked kitchen, washer and dryer was appreciated, nice to have balconies, microwave broke but replaced the next day and exterminator came out twice to deal with ants. Negative, 50 year old townhouse, and it shows it. Carpet needs cleaning as does furniture, we had ant problems, upstairs toilet seat does not stay up due to poor install, large bowl under kitchen sink with water, obviously put there to catch leaky kitchen sink, Wifi cuts in and out which also provides signal to TV, wrong coffee filters, not even one box of tissues, and when I walked by heater filter it looks like it was clogged full of dust and dirt. Shower diverter and faucets need attention. Small dishwasher, ended up washing tall glasses by hand.. Overall a lack of maintenance and upkeep.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location up the mountain a bit and lots of trees. Pool isn't really close but a very short drive away. The home could use a little TLC (particularly in the bathrooms and kitchen) and is a little hot at night in the summer since no A/C (even with windows open). A little ant issues in the kitchen as well. Nothing too scary. Great view from balcony. Parking is easy breezy.
