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 every winter activity.

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!

Year-round, 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.

Great Family Stay

We stayed for a week in mid-September and the condo was perfect. Probably our favorite perk was the wagon, we are easy to please. It was super helpful with 7 kids and a trip to the beach everyday. Plenty of space for our group of 11. The listed amenities were not available, the hot tubs only open on the weekend for a few hours and we specially picked the location for the pool and hot tubs for the kiddos.

too far to walk from parking to house

Pool was closed too many times because of lack of help we where told. very disappointing

Great North Shore Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very good time. Tripped a kitchen circuit breaker & had to email to find out where panel was to reset it. Everything clean and in order. A coyote and two bears were within of 150 feet of our units = good viewing.

Friends retreat

We had a great time with 12 people high school aged and parents staying at this place. The condo itself was great to host a big group for bonding and relaxation. Being close to the Lake was great, a short 5 minute walk and we were at the water, taking pictures and skipping rocks. Walking distance to coffee, 7-11, and minature golf. The rec room and hot tubs were nice and clean, the hours were limited, and they charge for billiards and arcades, so we utilized the hot tubs and saunas. Overall a good trip and would highly recommend this house.
