Why the Owner Chose Carnelian Bay
We chose our home because of the peace and quiet away from the busy streets and the stars are beautiful on clear nights.

You may use anything from the letter! Many thanks, Cindy Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Thank you for the nice words. Can I copy them onto our website 156781 I will only use your first name. You are welcome to come any time. Best, Sonia On Jun 8, 2009, at 11:20 AM, Cindy wrote: Hi Sonia, Let me say what a grand time we had in Tahoe. Your lovely home was the perfect place to pull back and regroup. My grandkids loved sleeping upstairs in the loft....in fact, that is where they were found most often. And Cooper, my lab, oh my was he in dog heaven. It was great to be able to walk around the area with dogs off leash. All of the dogs in the neighborhood were very friendly and shared their space well. It was truly very difficult to leave! I loved your kitchen. I didn't find anything missing that I would normally use. My daughter and her husband said that it was so nice to just walk in and relax :) The quiet and the true darkness of night was a welcome reprieve for me. To be away from the city sounds was a blessing and a much needed break. As to anything missing or improvements.....not a thing. My grandson Caleb was enamoured with the oversized tic tac toe board. I had to check the luggage to make sure that he didn't pack it away :) That was great. I thank you so much for your kindness and opening your special place. I look forward to spending more time with ya'll in the future. Plenty of room for family and friends. My sincere gratitude, Cindy

Hi Sonia, Just wanted to say 'thanks' for the privilege of using your Tahoe cabin vrbo 156781 these last few days. It was absolutely perfect for us! There were so many things that I needn't have packed. Seems like you've got just about everything a vacationing family could want. The kids had a terrific time sledding on some of the neighborhood hills, Scott got in some skiing at Squaw and I almost finished the first book I've gotten to read in a long time! The cabin was so cozy, warm and well-equipped that it was easy to relax and have fun for a few days. Thanks again! Stacey Hi Sonia, Yes, you're welcome to post my comments on the website. I don't have any reservations in recommending your cabin! We were just talking about how we might be able to swing another trip in the summer...which is when my family always went to Carnelian Bay when I was little. I don't know if we'll manage it this year, but if we decide to go for it, we'll definitely look you up again! Stacey Hi Stacey, Thank you for the nice compliment. May I post your comments on my VRBO web site? Sonia

Of course! It's our pleasure to be quoted! It's a delight to be a customer of yours. Steve Hi Steven, Can I add your nice comments to our vrbo site? This is what I would post. Thanks Sonia Hi Sonia, We had another great trip at your house. The wireless Internet was a great help as we had to do some work while up there. Met a couple of your neighbors walking their dogs. Quite nice people. Finally, if you have a cancellation on a weekend this winter let us know. I know you have the winter booked up, but if by chance something opens up, we'd most likely take it. For now, we'll just wait for our next turn in March. Thanks Steve

Hi Sonia, Happy New Year to you as well! We did get some snow during our visit which made for some great skiing! As for the house, it was perfect! We really enjoyed staying there and will likely look you up again when we're heading up to Tahoe. We enjoy cooking and sitting down with friends to eat, so the open kitchen and living/ dining room area was perfect for us. We played a bunch of the games in the house, vrbo 156781 and watched some movies, both of which are very nice touches for a rental house to have. The wireless internet was also an unexpected bonus at the last minute! Thanks again for renting to us and we'll be in touch if we're headed up to Tahoe. Bill McShane
