About this property

Private Hot Tub in the Pines in North Lake Tahoe

OUR CABIN IS IN A VERY QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD. We love our guests and want you to enjoy your stay but loud noise and partying is not appropriate for this cabin.

This charming, clean and nicely decorated cabin (we call 'the baby') is adorable. It is a great family oriented cabin in the very wooded but friendly area of Agate Bay or Carnelian Bay. This area is "North Lake Tahoe". Right in between Kings Beach and Tahoe City, but closer to Kings Beach. It's a great centralized location, close to the lake, away from the crowds but very close to the action in Kings Beach and Tahoe City as well. The closest ski resort is North Star (about 15 minutes drive), however Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley & Alpine Meadows) is not much further away (about 20 minutes drive) away. Other nearby ski resorts include Diamond Peak(about 20 minute drive), Mt. Rose (about 30 minute drive). The ski resorts around Donner Pass (Boreal, Sugar Bowl & Tahoe Donner, Donner Ski Ranch, Soda Springs) are 30-45 minutes depending on traffic. Then the south shore resorts (Heavenly & Kirkwood are an hour or more away). If you don't already know, Tahoe has a lot of ski resorts to choose from and Carnelian Bay is the perfect spot to explore as many as you'd like!

It has a freshly redesigned & renovated, fully equipped kitchen, newly renovated bathrooms & bedrooms, & a completely redecorated loft sleeping area with new linens and a cozy sitting\play area for the kids (and those young at heart). The icing on the cake is the large deck with your own hot tub, great for warming up in the winter and lounging in the summer.

We are very close to one of the Tahoe Rim trail entrances. A beautiful view once you reach the top. An hour hike for all ages. It is also fun to walk to breakfast to the old Carnelian Bay Post Office converted to a wonderful old world cafe.

In the winter months the woods are covered with snow and the cabin is warm and cozy. Ski lifts near by are North Star, great for family.

Diamond Peak which is a bit smaller (and sort of a secret to the tourists) is close, and is a lot of fun with three very long runs. Mt. Rose is to the east a bit further.

It is also close to Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley but the above are a bit less of a drive. The cabin is on a slope so tobogganing is right outside the door.

Then back to the cabin for a hot, relaxing Jacuzzi on the deck.

You will love your stay in 'The Baby' as it has brought many wonderful memories to our family and friends and many return renters.

Great place!

It is a wonderful property. Very cozy cabin with a lot of amenities and superb location. The beds were comfortable, the automatic fireplace very convenient, and the kitchen was great. If you're planning on cooking though be sure to bring some oil. All the instructions were clear, didn't have any problems.

Beautiful home!

We loved staying here. The house was beautiful, cozy, and just what we had hoped for. We were within an easy driving distance of multiple ski resorts. We also loved relaxing in the hot tub and enjoying the gorgeous trees. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook some meals at home, too!

Calm mountain stay!

What a perfect cabin. Stayed 3 night for a wedding weekend and this was the perfect place to rest and relax when not being festive. The hot tub was so nice to take daily soaks in drinking coffee on the large couch and letting the warm sun pour in the A Frame was so so lovely! Thank you!

Our three priorities in finding a place were 1) dog friendly, 2)hot tub and 3)close to Palisades. Personally I wanted something that let like it was in a forrest, and we had al of that! We loved our stay in this charming little cabin in the woods! Stephany provided great communication from the beginning (basic questions about booking) through the end of our stay. It was clean and everything was in good shape. We loved the cozy living room with the stove heater and its proximity to the kitchen. We prepared meals every day and the kitchen had everything we needed. We loved the quiet neighborhood and we could walk our dog to an open space area that wasn't very far. It was close to ski/boarding, and we really enjoyed the hot tub on the deck amongst the trees afterwards.

Great location

If you’re looking for a cabin away from the tourist congested South Lake area, this cabin in perfect. Located in a quiet neighborhood. Close to Squaw Valley, Northstar, Truckee, etc…. Communication with own was great. Cabin was clean and we had no issues. Would love to see some seating on deck to enjoy the view.

Road Maintenance

Unfortunately the road maintenance around Lake Tahoe during our visit was a pain in the ass. This cabin is very obviously a project of family love. We did not use the upstairs but there is plenty of room. Limited bathroom space, but very doable fo a half dozen people. We recommend

Great stay and great memories

We stayed here 15 years ago when Stephany’s parents owned it. Was so fun to go back with our now 18 year old daughter. They have done tons of upgrades to the house and it still felt so cozy and welcoming. House is kinda small but not cramped because of the open floor plan, vaulted ceiling and huge deck!! Comfy king size beds plus lots of loft sleeping with a whole other big bathroom. Neighborhood is incredibly quiet and so gorgeous with snow covered trees. You won’t be disappointed with the welcoming feeling and sweet decor!! Thanks Stephany!!

About the host

Hosted by Stephany

Our family has made many memories in the "Baby' cabin. Lake Tahoe has been our home away from home since I was a little girl. It's our family's favorite place in the world and we hope to share our love for the area with you as well.

Why they chose this property

We have always visited Lake Tahoe to ski and snowboard as a family. We have family in Reno, so the annual ski vacation included much of our extended family as well. We finally bought our own cabin and we spend a good amount of time year round at the Lake. In a lot of ways I now prefer the summertime for our time at Lake Tahoe. Winter is wonderful but there is so much to do in the summer.

What makes this property unique

There is a great hiking trail directly above the cabin. It is pretty straight up at times but well worth the fire thighs. The trail up is about 1 hour. You get to sit at the rim and see the view of the whole lake. It is a thrill and too gorgeous for words. The hike down is quick and fun. Watch out for the bears! Skiing and snowboarding parks are close by. North Star and Diamond Peak and Mt. Rose are very close.
