This charming Carnelian Bay home serves as the perfect home base for your next vacation. A treat for skiers and snowboarders, you are a 20-minute drive to three of the region's premier resorts -- Northstar, Squaw, and Alpine. Burton Creek State Park is also just a 7-minute drive away, offering 2,000 acres of untouched terrain including cross-country skiing and hiking trails. Just 2 blocks from Lake Tahoe, you can easily arrange kayaking, paddle boarding, and boating. Finish days by catching evening sunsets over Carnelian Bay. Hiking and mountain biking trails are accessible directly from the neighborhood. Make the easy trek to the nearby meadows, or continue on to Watson Lake (5 miles) or further to connect with the famed Tahoe Rim Trail. Local beaches are also close to home, so you'll always have something to do.
Upon arrival pull into the three-car driveway. Stroll up to the front porch with two wicker chairs -- a tranquil spot to relax with drinks on warm summer evenings. Inside you'll find an inviting open-design living space with hardwood floors. Kick off your shoes and relax on the plush couch and armchairs. Enjoy your favorite show on the smart TV, or hook up your vacation playlist to the Bose speaker while you plan a day of outdoor adventures. The well-equipped kitchen features dark wood cabinetry and a tiled island area for easy dinner prep. A range of stainless steel appliances is close at hand, including a gas stove/oven, microwave, and dishwasher.
At the rear of the house, you'll find a storage closet, a stacked washer/dryer unit, and a door that leads out to the back deck. Enjoy the outdoor seating and dining space when the weather is nice. Two more bedrooms are located upstairs. The primary has a queen-size and a twin bed, along with a TV. Opposite, kids can make the other bedroom into their own private den. Along with two full-size beds, the room's selection of books, games, and movies, as well as a TV with DVD player and PS3, will keep them entertained for hours. A half bath is located between the two rooms.

Run down cabin
We made the mistake of staying here for a family vacation in Feb 2023 during President's week. There were no reviews at the time which was a definite red flag. We arrived at 4PM to a completely filthy house, it had not been cleaned from the prior renters and dishes were piled up everywhere (dishwasher is broken with a label saying do not use). A promised meal voucher for the inconvenience was never sent from the property management. Even after cleaners came through place was not clean. Stains on the sheets/ comforter, broken chair, broken lamp with large shards of glass in bedroom. Ants crawling all over the upstairs sink. This place has been neglected, do not stay here.
Vacasa was an absolute horror to deal with after our stay, be warned if you don't report every issue while you are there they will do nothing to help. We spent weeks in a back and forth between offices until I finally gave up dealing with them.

Unsatisfactory stay
Stayed 5-days with family during July 4th holiday. Great location to access the area and Alpine Meadows.
However, several disappointing features left us feeling like you misrepresented the home.
By way of example, there were cobwebs over the fireplace mantle. There was a broken chair at the dining room table. The pans were in unusable condition due to peeling nonstick surface. Large black ants were roaming around the sink and general kitchen area. The refrigerator did not cool anything adequately and the freezer allowed ice cream to melt.
Very disappointing and although management did send someone to spray ant repellent, as well as drop a cardboard cooler with ice, I was told nobody else could be done due to the holiday.
Very, very disappointing.
