You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Walk to Lake Tahoe - Pet-Friendly Cabin - Sleeps 7, Kids Welcome

A comfortable two-bedroom condo in the Carnelian Woods community — walking distance to Lake Tahoe and an easy drive to both Palisades Tahoe and Northstar. Great setup for families or a small group.
What's included:

Walk to Lake Tahoe
Community pool, hot tub, sauna & tennis courts
Lodge with pool table and air hockey
Ski lockers & gear storage
In-unit washer & dryer
Pack 'n Play + booster seat
Beach towels + Smart TVs throughout
Pet friendly

Sleeping setup:

Queen bed in bedroom 1
Queen bed in bedroom 2
Queen sofa bed in the living area
Rollaway bed available (stored in the upstairs bedroom closet — rolls right out into the main loft area, which makes a great little sleep nook or hangout space for kids)
Pack 'n Play for little ones

Full kitchen stocked for real cooking — not just the basics. In-unit washer and dryer, beach towels, multiple Smart TVs, and fast WiFi throughout. The complex is quiet and family-friendly, with the pool, hot tub, sauna, tennis courts, and arcade lodge all steps away.

About the loft: The main loft is a great hangout space and works perfectly as a sleeping area with the rollaway. The upstairs bedroom has a second loft space — the ladder has been removed and we ask that guests not attempt to access it. We really mean this one. It's not safe without the ladder and any wall damage will be charged to the booking.

A few things to know: Small water heater — if you're a group, space out your showers. No AC (Tahoe summers rarely need it). The closest beach to Carnelian Woods is a pebble beach — not sandy, but genuinely lovely. BYO rackets for the tennis courts.
Winter heads up: Tahoe weather moves fast — 4WD/AWD or chains are often required during storms. Please plan accordingly.

Getting around:

CB's Bistro: 2 min drive / 15 min walk
Waterman's Cafe: 2 min drive / 13 min walk
Garwoods: 2 min drive
Tahoe City: 11 min · Kings Beach: 8 min · Truckee: 25 min
Northstar: 15 min · Palisades: 23 min · Diamond Peak: 23 min · Homewood: 21 min

All times reflect good weather and no traffic — allow extra on powder days.
Access: Full access to the condo, ski storage, open parking (guest tags provided), and all community amenities — pool (seasonal), hot tub, sauna, tennis courts, and the arcade lodge. ID verification and damage waiver required through Truvi prior to arrival.
The condo is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

The location and complex were perfect for our family with teens. The pool, hot tub, and proximity to the lake and activities made for a great vacation. We enjoyed walking to the lakeside cafe for coffee each morning and hiking along the adjacent trails. The condo was clean and large enough for our family of five. The owner was responsive, and the check-in and check-out processes were easy. The only feedback we'd give was around the comfort of the condo. The beds were pretty uncomfortable. I think upgrading those would improve the experience.
