ABOUT THE AREA
Nestled by the stunning Lake Tahoe, Carnelian Bay is a special place that captures hearts with its history, beauty, and charm. Originally named after its colorful shoreline, this lakeside town has become a beloved spot for dog lovers, kayakers, paddleboarding enthusiasts, and sunset seekers. Situated between Tahoe City and Kings Beach, Carnelian Bay invites you to relax and soak in its laid-back atmosphere.

Immerse yourself in the enchanting waters of Lake Tahoe, where Carnelian Bay reigns as a paradise for paddleboarding. And when it's time to unwind, treat yourself to a signature "Wet Woody" on the expansive deck of Gar Woods Grill & Pier.

At Patton Landing, a three-acre pebbly beach, relaxation and leisure await. Waterman's Landing tempts you with its gourmet coffee house and full-service café, ensuring your cravings are satisfied. The beach provides a free "car top" boat launch, making it easy for you to embark on aquatic adventures. Plus, don't worry about leaving your furry friend behind—Fido is welcome on the eastern portion of the beach and the café's deck, making it a true paradise for both humans and their four-legged companions.

In winter, Carnelian Bay becomes a getaway to a magical wonderland. Just 15 minutes away, Northstar offers access to nearly 100 trails and over 3,000 skiable acres. If you're up for more winter sports and want to explore further, Palisades Tahoe and Homewood are just a convenient 20-minute drive away, offering even more opportunities to embrace the excitement of winter and immerse yourself in Lake Tahoe's stunning mountain landscapes.

Beautiful Carnelian Bay Tahoe House!

Beautiful, quiet and semi-secluded, this property is always my first choice to stay anytime I am headed to Tahoe winter or summer! It is in a prime location with access to great hiking and biking trails, restaurants and best beaches. Very nicely furnished with lots of open space for family and friends. The living room has a large fireplace and super comfortable couches for watching movies or playing games. The deck out front is the perfect place to relax and take in very nice views of the Lake. The backyard is spacious with a great firepit, hot tub, and area for playing horseshoes! This is a wonderful property...I highly recommend it!

Excellent Property- Perfect for our family

My wife and have stayed at this property a number of times. It is a five star home with everything you need for the comforts that we enjoy (cooking, location to water, bike trails, hiking, etc). Everything is always in working condition snd the WiFi is excellent if you need to work while on vacation. The incredible size yard allows for privacy and playing games in open space. Every room is detailed and is a really an outstanding value for the price. We will continue to rent and enjoy this property when thinking of future Tahoe getaways. We just hope it is available at the times we would like to travel because it is in the perfect location for all four seasons..

My spouse and I enjoyed this property immensely due to its size and semi-secluded location yet easy access to the main road. We would give it five stars, but for the fact the primary double mattress is one of those pillow tops that are very uncomfortable for those accustomed to a king firm. The staff is amazing! When we reported that the microwave was not fully functioning one of them picked up and delivered a new one. That is top notch customer service. We will be engaging Tahoe Getaways for our next visit.

Manager's Response

Thank you for taking time to write such a positive review! We're glad we could remedy the microwave issue quickly.

We loved the house, it fit our family perfectly. The yard was much bigger than expected and the lake view much better than expected. We would definitely rent again.
