About this property

Serene Woodland Lodge in Carnelian Bay

Welcome to this beautifully remodeled spacious log cabin in Carnelian Bay. This home features all the Tahoe must-haves: gas fireplace in living room, hot tub, sauna, large deck, proximity to beaches, trails, and close access to prime mountain resorts.

Located in a quiet neighborhood in Carnelian Bay, there are three nearby popular California ski resorts to choose from and you are also near pleasant trails less than a few hundred yards away from the home for hiking and mountain biking in and around Watson Creek and Tahoe Cross Country Ski Trails. In fact, you will find trails from here to Tahoe City and the town of Carnelian Bay. You are only a few minutes by car from both Tahoe City and Kings Beach.

The main floor's living and kitchen area, where you will gather while indoors, has an open floor plan with all the upgraded amenities in the kitchen. In addition to the gorgeous fireplace to warm up beside, you have beautiful furnishings and decorations throughout. The expansive front deck will be a pure joy with a morning cup of coffee or good book, or for stargazing at night. There is enough seating at the dining table to accommodate 8 people for nice family meals, with three supermarkets available within 5 miles; you can stock up on your way in, for you may never want to leave!

With three separate levels of the home, you will enjoy your privacy while still enjoying the family. The top level has the spacious master bedroom with a king-sized bed, a large bathroom with an oversized dual-head shower, a sitting area with a pull-out sofa, and an office with a full sized Murphy bed. The main floor has two additional bedrooms with a queen bed in one, and a twin over full bunk bed in the other bedroom, plus a full hallway bathroom with a shower/tub. The luxurious spa-like lowest floor features an indoor hot tub, sauna, open shower, and another full private shower.

Features:
* Garage parking
* Hot Tub
* Sauna
* Gas Fireplace
* Located close to major ski resorts
* Less than a 10 minute walk to the lake
* Hiking/Biking just yards from the home

Bedroom Configurations:
Bedroom 1: Master- King Bed- Private Bathroom
Bedroom 2: Queen Bed
Bedroom 3: Bunk - Twin over full bed
Bedroom 4: Full Murphy Bed

Location:
While the kids (and a few grown-up kids) have a snow day on the property's yard, perhaps others will want to venture out to the local ski spots like Northstar (11 miles away), Palisades Alpine, Palisades Tahoe (12 miles away), and Homewood. On a summer day, you will be only a few minutes from beautiful lake beaches. You may choose to grab a latte and breakfast at the charming Old Post Office Coffee Shop or a hearty meal at Gar Woods Grill and Pier. For a night out, explore the restaurants in Tahoe City (less than 5 miles) or travel 7 miles north to Crystal Bay in Nevada for cocktails and games of chance.

Other things to Note:
* Use of the BBQ is not guaranteed in winter months, due to limited access.
* Parking is available for 4 cars total in the warmer months; 3 cars total during heavy winter snow. 2 cars in driveway, 2 cars in garage. No street parking is allowed per county ordinance.
* Due to the temperate climate, like most homes/condos in Tahoe, this one does not have Air Conditioning. There are plenty of fans available in the event that we have an unusual hot spell.
*Prepare for mountain or winter weather driving in winter months. This may mean Four wheel drive with snow tires or chains. Check weather or road reports. AWD and 4WD necessary to get up the mountain roads and some driveways in the winter months.
*Renters must be 25+
*Maximum Occupancy per county ordinance is 8 adults
* This is a non-smoking home.
* Pets are not allowed at this home.

***Reservations are confirmed upon receipt of electronically signed Rental Agreement within 48 hours of booking the reservation***

Great time at the Serene Woodland Lodge
This was the perfect place to spend the long 4th of July weekend. We really enjoyed our stay here. The hot tub and sauna were clean and an awesome way to end the day. The house was well stocked to cook and we had plenty of space to relax. The location was really nice; near Tahoe City and walking distance to some awesome trails. Only thing to note is that the house does not have AC. 90% of the year that is fine, but during a heat wave in the summer, the temp inside reached 80F. So if you are traveling with someone sensitive to heat, be aware of that.
