Location: Carnelian Bay, Lake Tahoe North Shore CA, Lake Tahoe California, California, USA (Lake Tahoe, Patton Beach)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 7)
We fell in love with the architecture of this old Tahoe classic home when we purchased it in 1991. We have chosen the furnishings carefully to reflect the era. We have enjoyed it many times and are now opening it for others to enjoy. Sitting on one half acre, this 2300 square foot home has 3 bedrooms, all with a view of the lake, 2 bathrooms and sleeps 7, plus small children. It has lots of room for relaxation, entertaining and romancing.
Enjoy the living room with its Rocky Mountain fireplace with wood fire box (wood provided), VCR, CD player, books and games. Relax or entertain in the upstairs sitting room while looking at beautiful Lake Tahoe. Two bedrooms have TVs and the master bedroom also has a relaxing Jacuzzi with view of the lake. There is also a view of the lake as you are taking a shower. Although there are many great restaurants in the area, you might just want to create a gourmet meal in our well appointed kitchen - with spices and staples provided. In good weather, you will probably want to relax, eat and entertain on our large deck that faces the lake or cook S'MORES on the side deck's fire pit. With a large size laundry room and mud room, there is space for storage as well as products we provide - soap, toilet paper, paper towels and tissues.
Our driveway is circular and can accommodate three cars. Another unpaved driveway can accommodate your boat and/or camper. In winter, snow is removed by contract from the driveway and the private road that is Nile Street.
The house is in the perfect location, no matter what the season. You can enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, golf, horseback riding, rafting, swimming, tennis, skiing, snowboarding, gambling and shopping - all within a 9 mile radius.

I can tell you that it doesn't get any better than this - especially when it is 106 in the valley. Once again, we had perfect weather, 80 - 85 degrees. And, we love the new rugs. I truly believe our family enjoys this house more than anyone who vacations here. It feels like home. It is so comfortable, making it hard to leave. But, we'll be back. T.

Outside looks like an extravagant moving picture postcard. Even when out in it, the snow seems warm and forgiving. The atmosphere inside this house is one of instant welcome and a feeling of coming home. I can only imagine the aura of past happy visitors that have been soaked up and become part of this gracious home. Lanny H.

We had such a good time. We had perfect weather, so the kids were able to go Para Sailing and Boating. The "family time" was much needed and much enjoyed. We didn't even mind housework while we were here. I've never smiled so much while doing the dishes!!! As I look out the window at the lake with the sun glistening on it. I find it very hard to leave. It's so peaceful and is our absolute favorite place to be. We have wonderful memories. Tracy, Jack, Nick & Carly T.
