Snow trip

This property was perfect for our family of seven. It was clean and well stocked. The location was close enough to take short trips to Heavenly, Boreal and Northstar.

Wonderful ski getaway

We loved our time at Carnelian Woods. We appreciated how well maintained the roads were, especially since it snowed quite a bit as we arrived and our first night there. The unit was easy to find and access from the parking lot as well due to the many lights helping guests see unit numbers. We loved how the fireplace warmed the house easily and quickly with literally a flick of a switch. Beds were comfy and the boys loved the upstairs loft area. The kitchen had everything we needed and the upgraded appliances worked well. There was plenty of space for each of us. Everything was really top notch!! Our only regret was not having more days to stay there.

Enjoyable stay

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Location is great - close to the lake, 4 miles to a Safeway and 11 miles to Northstar Ski resort. Home is clean with ample parking, reliable WiFi, and a well-stocked kitchen with large fridge and more than sufficient cookware, dining ware, and utensils. Layout utilized the spaces well with tasteful decors. Fireplace and balcony are a plus. Living room is big enough for all to gather and hangout. Check in and checkout are simple, with clear and responsive communication from management.

Cozy and clean

This property was exactly as presented and a good location. Everything was in good working order and comfortable. Be aware that the kids room is actually a loft and open to the downstairs which means it is not quiet and can a dangerous for rowdy little kids. We ended up putting both our kids in one room and not using the loft.
