GREAT PLACE TO GET AWAY AT THANKSGIVING
Guest: grandma mimi
(San Ramon, Ca)
Date of Stay: 11/24/09
Review Submitted: 11/30/09
This home has everything for the young family to the senior set. The area is beautiful and walking distance to everything as listed. We enjoyed the toddler supplies that were provided and we didn't have to pack. The beds were all comfortable and the bathrooms are very nice. I would recommend this to any large family or 2 small families. Lots of privacy areas and yet comfortable group seating. The decor was perfect for the "cabin" feel yet very new and easy to use. Thank you for opening this home as a rental...we look forward to returning!

Perfect Thanksgiving Rental

We rented this home for a Thanksgiving vacation and it was great! The layout was perfect for our group, 3 couples and 3 small children. We were able to put the kids in one room and the adults had their own rooms. The kitchen opened into the living and dining room and was great for everyone to gather and hangout. The cabin had all the modern touches but still had the charm of a Tahoe cabin. Location was perfect--close to the lake, shopping, and the resorts. The owners were super friendly and helpful. We were definifely happy with the rental. We highly recommend and will be back again!!

We had the opportunity to stay in this beautiful cabin just before Christmas. As a designer myself, I appreciated the architectural details in keeping with the Craftsman style of the house. The kitchen/ great room was large and open with a comfortable sectional sofa and wood burning fireplace. The gourmet kitchen and walk in pantry had everything we needed to prepare and enjoy home cooked meals. The bathrooms were top notch and the master bathroom shower was spa-like. The bedrooms were private and like the previous reviews state...the beds were amazingly comfortable! There was a free rec center just a block away with a pool table and air hockey for the teenagers. A pizza place and 7-11 were within walking distance, too. We really enjoyed our stay at this fabulous cabin and we are looking forward to returning in the future. I HIGHLY recommend the Carnelian Lakeview Retreat! Thanks Laura for a fantastic stay.

Cozy and Relaxing

My husband and I went up with 3 other couples just to hang out, play games and eat, which is exactly what we did:) The home is very comfortable and clean and we had everything we needed to fulfill our jammycation goals. The guys loved the hot tub, while the women still can't quite figure out the allure of boiling yourself in hot water. There is a Safeway close by and you can walk to the lake. The living and kitchen area is perfect for a group and the bedrooms are quite private. We really enjoyed our stay.

A Wonderful Tahoe Retreat!
Guest: Windi H.

Review Submitted: 07/27/11
Two families, four adults and five kids, all fit comfortably in this wonderul Tahoe retreat for an entire week! We ate all our meals out on the deck enjoying the view of the lake. We spent afternoons relaxing in the large enclosed yard with plenty of adventure for the kids climbing the rock path, or swinging and sliding on the play structure. A lovely little rocky beach and mini-golf were within walking/stroller distance. Evenings (after the kids were asleep) were spent in the hot tub looking up at the stars through the treetops. This wonderful home was everything we could have hoped for and more!! There were plenty of dishes and kitchen accessories. Each of the bathrooms came with a roll or two of toilet paper. There was even detergent in the laundry room! We had brought much of this stuff with us, since prior rentals did not include these items, but still were pleasantly surprised at the effort the owners went to to make it feel like a home and not a rental. The owners were very friendly and dealt with us directly (no having to hassle with a property management office or picking up/dropping off keys). We will definitely consider staying here again the next time we holiday in Tahoe!
Owner response:As always, it is our pleasure that you enjoyed your vacation at our "home away from home!"

The home was everything we expected and more. The amenities were great, kitchen was fully stocked with everything that we needed, and the beds were very comfortable (something I would expect in my home). We will definitely be coming back here for our future Tahoe trips.

We spent a fabulous NY holiday with our adult children and significant others at this great house. The house is perfect for families of all ages. Spascious kitchen and great room with a large dinning table, stone fireplace, decks front and back. Perfect location with easy access to the lake and slopes. We so enjoyed the hot tub after glorious days of sledding and sking. My favorite time was early in the morning watching the sun rise over the lake from the great room and front deck. Laura was so helpful with suggestions for activities and restaurants of which there are many good ones. Lots of comfy beds to climb into at the end of a great day. Would love to return in the summer. Thanks!

Great House For Family Get Together
Guest: Anonymous
Date of Stay: 08/01/10
Review Submitted: 10/08/10
We rented this house for a week in August for a family get together and it is a great vacation house. The bedrooms are large and comfortable. The play structure in back was a hit with my 8 year old grandaughter and 4 year old niece. The kitchen was well stocked and there is a lake view from the front deck. The house was very clean. The house is within walking distance of Garwood's and the miniature golf course and very centrally located to King's Beach and Tahoe City. The owners were very easy to deal with and most accommodating. The only complaint I would voice is the lack of any chaise lounges on the front deck.

Summer Renter

If you are a true Tahoe fanatic this is the property for you. We have been coming up to Tahoe for our summer vacation for over two decades. We love to spend the days at Meeks Bay and Sand Harbour, as well as mini golfing and rafting. This was the ideal loction for these activities. The cabin is located equal distance from the two most pristine beaches in Tahoe as well as a brief walk to a great mini golf coarse and a very convient 7-11. It's also a quick hop to Tahoe City for biking and rafting excursions. We loved spending our nights on the beautiful balcony overlooking majestic trees and the lake itself. If this sounds ideal, then this is THE cabin. Impeccably maintained, it held two families very comfortably. It had all the amenities including the ever important late afteroon balcony; We had dinner ever night out there and soaked up the last of the Tahoe sunshine. For small children the fully enclosed backyard was a safe and fun place to adventure. We would be delighted to book this cabin in the future! Two Thumbs Up!

We just returned from a week in the Barber house...It was fantastic...the location is awesome and the recommendations that Laura provided were right on target. We had 10 adults and there was plenty of room for us to sleep, cook , hang out and park the cars. I highly recommend this location for anyone looking to have fun in the lake Tahoe area...
