Enjoy the wonderful surroundings of Lake Tahoe in our gorgeous mountain home. It offers over 2200 square feet of spacious living space. This retreat is newly decorated in alpine comfort and elegance. There is a newly remodeled kitchen with solid granite countertops, hardwood floors and beautiful wood appointments throughout. The kitchen has a 4 burner gas cook top with a convection oven. It is fully stocked with pots, pans, knives, and you name it. Professional chefs have even complimented us on our cook ware. There is a large dining table that easily seats 10. We have Fiesta Ware plates and serving platters with lots of silver ware to compliment the table.
The well-furnished large Great Room has a cozy river rock fireplace as a focal point. Enjoy music on the surround sound system or watch a DVD on the TV. The large living area also includes a reading nook surrounded by lovely windows. Just outside on the private deck is our Hotsprings hot tub with peek views of Lake Tahoe. There is a table, umbrella, chairs and a barbecue on the deck, as well, for enjoying the outdoor ambience during the summer. A powder room is off the great room.
The large master suite is on the same level as the kitchen and great room. It has a comfortable California king bed as well as a 20 inch TV with cable and DVD, and private bathroom with a shower. The King bed offers a down comforter and a choice of foam or down pillows. Included in the master suite is a comfortable lounging sofa for reading or watching movies. There is a private entrance to the deck through French doors if you want to sneak out for a hot tub after the kids are in bed.
Down stairs is a lovely Queen bed room with a down comforter and a small TV with cable. It is perfect as a second master bedroom if two families are sharing the home. There is also a room with 2 bunkbeds for the kids to have their own space. The downstairs bathroom has 2 sinks and a full bathtub. The full-sized washer and dryer is located in the laundry room with iron and ironing board.
A private bonus room is accessible from the rear of the attached garage. This is the perfect room to send the kids to play foosball or watch their own movie on a TV with DVD/VCR with cable while the adults enjoy the great room upstairs. It even has a full bathroom with shower. There is also a queen sleeper couch if more sleeping space is needed.
Linen for the beds and towels are provided for your use. In the summer, you will want to bring beach towels to use at the pool and the lake. There is shampoo, conditioner, soap and blow dryers in each bathroom.
Our home is centrally located 6 miles east of Tahoe City and 2 miles west of Kings Beach in the private Agate Bay neighborhood. Fine dining is nearby at Gar Woods or enjoy casual dining at CB pizza. There are many other excellent options as well. Nevada casinos are 10 minutes away in Crystal Bay or a little further to Incline Village.

Why the Owner Chose Agate Bay
We have visited many areas of the Lake Tahoe region. We enjoy the north shore because it is less hectic and less influenced by the south shore casinos. Agate Bay is a very special place with a community pool and tennis courts. It is so quiet, that on a busy 4th of July weekend, in Agate Bay, you would not even know it was so busy several miles away in Kings Beach and Tahoe City. we offer our home for you to enjoy Lake Tahoe and Agate Bay.
Skiing in the winter. Golf, hiking, and mountain biking in the summer.
One of the best sandy beaches on the lake. Home of the Lake Tahoe Shakespear Festival. Kayak tours available.
Gentle bike path along the Truckee River from Tahoe City to Squaw Valley or along the lake to Homewood. Park here.
Easiest access to the rim trail. Head west or east from here. Park where you see all the cars on highway 267 before you get to the summit on the lake side.
Walk up the hill to the end of Agate Bay and continue on the dirt road that continues past the end of the paved road. It continues on to Carnelian Woods Ave.
There is a dirt road off of Tripoli that has a sign Carnelian Bay Ave. This is a favorite mountain bike trail or hike. It leads all the way to the Fiberboard highway (Mt. Watson Rd.) at the top of the
This is a beautiful alpine meadow. In the winter, it is a great place to cross country ski or snow shoe. The Tahoe Rim Trail also is accessible from here heading west or east from here. You can mounta
Owner's Map of Agate Bay
We have always enjoyed Lake Tahoe even before we had children. Now we have 4 and the whole family enjoys visiting in all seasons. In the winter, Squaw, Alpine and Northstar are all within 15 -20 minutes from our home. There is great hiking right out our door or not far away. I have shown you some of the nearby ones on the map.

Highlights include: - Kids watching Disney sing along in the secret bonus room. - Crackling fires in the stone fireplace - Hot tubbing after skiing - The fire truck bunk bed (a huge hit with our son and daughter) - Well stocked kitchen & the bottle of wine welcoming us. - The large kitchen table for family meals. - The general warmth & comfort of your home. Thank you - We will return.

Wow! That was the first thing we said walking in. We love this home. It's so beautiful. The decor and amenities are wonderful. We were all so comfortable here and we were so happy we could have our dog Scooby with us. The hot tub is fabulous in the snow. We watched movies, did puzzles, played games and built a snow man! We went snowboarding and sledding. A wonderful weekend. And the wine was a perfect welcome! Thank you so much!
