Nice spacious cabin

We had a fabulous stay at this property! The open layout was great. It was perfect for 2 families to stay in. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook our meals. The beds were very comfortable and the kids loved staying in the bunk bed room. The place was extremely clean. Laura was very quick to respond with any questions we had which was not that many since her checkin instructions were very detailed and clear. Looking forward to staying again!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Fay

Host profile image
Since 2000, 'Carraig Nua' is home away from home...a place to take ourselves for great adventures or to relax and do absolutely nothing.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to create great childhood memories for our kids. Lake Tahoe and our vacation home 'Carraig Nua' has been a great place for the whole family.

We love the mountains, being able take a walk in Paige Meadows and along sections of the Tahoe Rim Trail, or raft down the Truckee river on those days when we are too lazy for the big outings, and being able to hike, bike and play in some of the best western mountain terrain available.

What makes this property unique

When staying at 'Carraig Nua' we enjoy activities year round.

In the winter and spring it's downhill skiing and walk-in/walk-out cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, sledding and more.

In summer, we walk from the front door for great walks and hikes through Paige Meadows and the Tahoe Rim Trail, mountain biking, water-skiing and doing just nothing but barbecuing and relaxing.

In the Fall, the town is sleepy and the hiking opportunities are unparalleled.
