This was the best stocked house we have ever stayed in. It was easy to prepare meals for our group of 7. Plenty of blankets, towels, and hot water. It was clean. Everything worked. Big enough to spread out but not so big you lost people. Great location. We hope to come back in the summer to enjoy the porch.

Lovely, quiet neighborhood with roomy cabin

Our hosts were very responsive, and our stay was lovely. The L-shaped deck with dining table (and umbrella) is a treat, and the newish bathrooms are wonderful. The location--somewhere between Kings Beach and Tahoe City--is terrific, and Carnelian Bay has its own charms as well.

July 4th friends trip

Cabin was well suited for a group trip for 4th of July. The location was easy walking to restaurants and the beach. The patio was spacious. Only downside was we had planned to BBQ over the four days and learned a few days before arrival that it was not allowed for renters.

Great Spot

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was well equipped with lots of condiments and things we might have forgotten so cooking was easy. It was close to sledding and the store. The kids really enjoyed playing in the snow in the yard.

The perfect stay

Rented the cabin for a weekend with my small swimming team and it was the perfect fit. Plenty of towels and hot water, kitchen items, and comfy beds for us to crash after a long day in the water. Very clean and well-organized and communicated. We'll definitely be back!

A cozy place for winter holidays

What a perfect place to stay for our family ski trip! The cabin was well-equipped with all the amenities we needed, and the location is great, only a 5-minute drive to the grocery store and within 30 minutes to NorthStar. The cabin is very cozy and clean; Cate is super easy to communicate with. We will definitely come back again!

Comfortable nicely located cabin

Cabin was comfortable and well equipped with everything one would need to stay for a few days. All appliances were in like-new condition. The cabin is conveniently located and sleeps 5-6 people in private bedrooms, with overflow in the loft beds. We are 6 of us and we had plenty of linen and towels to spare after our 3-day stay.

Magical

The location of the property was perfect. We walked to the lake to see the sunrise, drove to Palisades, a nearby hike in the snow, stopped at Northstar on our way to the house. House was very clean and exactly what was described. Fit our family perfectly! Thank you!

Great location and great value

We had a lovely stay in Carnelian Bay. We loved the location and proximity to Tahoe City, King's Beach, Truckee, ski resorts, and restaurants. The cabin is cozy and a great home base for us. The fridge was immaculate and there are enough cooking supplies to make full meals. Our kids loved playing in the yard in the snow. Cate was super responsive. A good first time staying in Tahoe!

Location wonderful for access to Tahoe City heading south or Incline Village and Sand Harbor State Park north and to the east and all points beyond. Beautiful home with all the amenities you need and then some. Great outdoor space as well. Wooded lot. Nestled in nature. Comfortable ( living room and all the beds!) and very clean. An easy walk to the lake and to a coffee shop and some restaurants. Was not disappointed in any way. Wonderful stay! FYI for those traveling with seniors or small children…Second floor with private king bedroom and great full bathroom and two twin beds in loft area accessed by a spiral staircase.

Soul Healing Stay

From the moment we walked through the door we felt peace. It had been a very stressful few months for us…. And all of our worries ceased to exist. The little homey touches… like mugs with personal phrases to the divine coziness of bedding induced relaxation and happiness. Thank you so much for this oasis. Perfect setting.

Nice stay

We were 4 sisters, 1 daughter and 1 niece. The cabin in the woods was very comfortable and quite homey. The bed on the sunny deck was a real treat. The only complaint would have to be the dim lighting throughout. More or brighter lighting in the bathrooms and especially over the big table when playing games would’ve made our stay perfect!

Nice, clean, cozy cabin

My family (40, 15) and I stayed in this cabin for three nights during President's (Ski) Week. More often than not, I find Tahoe rentals overpriced for the quality they offer, but this cabin truly stands out. It was clean, thoughtfully designed, well-furnished, and equipped with all the necessary amenities in perfect working condition.We skied at Palisades Tahoe, which is only a 20-minute drive away. Just 10 minutes from the cabin, there's a plaza with a Safeway and CVS for convenience. And if you're up for a scenic drive, the Nevada side—just 20-25 minutes away—is the perfect spot to catch a breathtaking sunset.I loved this place and wouldn’t hesitate to book it again next time!

Great Rental

We were happy with this rental. It was a great location for everything we wanted to do in the Tahoe area. My only complaint was there was no AC, but it did not say AC on the listing. (We’re from Phoenix where AC is assumed!) We really appreciated the stand alone fans in each of the rooms! We made several meals and had everything we needed. Very clean. We also appreciated extras like laundry soap, dryer sheets, extra paper towels, etc. Thank you for a lovely vacation home!

Hidden Gem-highly recommended

This was the best place we have stayed at by far in Tahoe. Kate takes good care of it. We stayed during the winter for a week. It was the most cleanest VRVO rental I've ever had. Close drive to town. Kate's place has a unique style to it. She really went above and beyond! The pictures don't do justice on how amazing it is inside. So much detail and beautiful custom decor! She had it stocked well with basic kitchen essentials. Only thing that was missing was a potato masher but we were able to get by. I loved the stove, fireplace, cute staircase, the boat inside the living room, etc.. Excellent communication with the owner.We had so much fun and made good memories. Will definitely be back!
