Great home!

It was a wonderful stay. Very clean and well appointed. We had several family members in adjoining cabins and were able to host Bbq dinners for all. Comfy accommodations and well appointed kitchen. Garage was a nice bonus, to store beach chairs and wagon. Walking distance to beach, restaurants and mini golf. We had an excellent time and would rent again.

Fantastic stay!!

My family & I stayed & Chris' lovely home for 12 days & couldn't have had a better time. It's location is perfect for walking to the lake & just a few minutes more to Gar Woods. Having the spa outback is key & the views from it are beautiful, especially at night. The family room is very spacious, the kitchen well stocked & deck off the front perfect for morning coffee & evening drinks. We would highly suggest staying here & hope to be back soon!

Annual Summer Tahoe Family Trip

We had a wonderful weeklong stay at this property. The location was chef’s kiss with a 3 minute walk to the lake where you could rent kayaks and paddle boards. Mini golf and Gar Woods (Wet Woodies) is just a very short walk! My kids loved the jacuzzi. Chris (the owner) was extremely attentive and responsive when I reached out to him. The house was fully equipped with literally anything you might need to cook a nice meal! Perfect house for two families with kids as the house has two bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs. Overall it was a wonderful stay!

Outstanding house and responsive owner

This house is new (or updated), beautiful, and conveniently located to skiing, Garwoods, Safeway, etc. As a former slopeside condo ski lease person, I was nervous about having to drive to ski, but it was a breeze. The owner is incredibly responsive, flexible, and friendly. FYI 4 families stayed here for a week. All the adults had comfy beds; the kids made due with cots, couches, and sleeping bags. Definitely a bit tight for 11-12 people, but we enjoyed it regardless.

So so great I don’t want to share!!!

The house is amazing and so well stocked. Never have I had a place with so many thoughtful touches. I really want to keep this gem to myself so it isn’t booked when we are able to return but that isn’t fair to Chris. The location is perfect and the neighborhood is quiet. Got to have a National Geographic moment one morning as a bear came cruising between the houses and did his back scratching on a tree out back. The hot tub is very well maintained just like the house. I can’t say enough good things about the house, location, and host!! Chris responds in record time & is so accommodating! Plus he goes above and beyond. Love this place and are working on returning again. The beach is fantastic and just a short 3 block walk from the house. Awesome time in Tahoe!!!

Time Well Spent

This amazing property is located in Carnelian Bay. It is a short walk from "The Old Post Office" and "Gar Woods". If you are familiar with Lake Tahoe, you know these are two iconic places to eat. The "Old Post Office" features breakfast and lunch, while "Gar Woods" has amazing drinks, lunch, appetizers, and dinner. No worry about driving home after enjoying a "Wet Woody", their signature drink. I've rented VRBO houses for years and this house was arguably the best stocked ever! There were spices, paper products in the pantry, up to date kitchen appliances, and even special food and water bowls for our four-legged family member. There were puzzles, movies, and a sparkling clean hot tub for our evening hours. The house and neighborhood were quiet. We spent time on the deck enjoying the sound of the wind in the pines. There was deck furniture for all. Also within walking distance was a dog beach and "Magic Carpet" Miniature Golf. The golf course was well maintained, though not crowded at all. There is a 7-11 with items you may have forgotten at home. We come to Tahoe frequently. When we weren't at the house, we went to Northstar and to the State Fire Lookout. Our dog was able to accompany us to both. The number of pet-friendly activities and rentals is growing! Of course, I highly recommend a stay at this home. In our group of 5 adults, we had three teachers who were spending one more weekend in the Sierras. Our stay at this home was truly "time well spent!"

Heaven at Tahoe

Our family had a fabulous stay at Carnelian Bay. The house was perfect for our needs and it was amazing being so close to the beach where we could rent kayaks and take the dogs. The house was well stocked, and there was plenty of room for everyone. After a day exploring we would relax back at the house with games, puzzles and a dip in the hot tub. The owner, Chris, was great to work with and was very accommodating. We are already looking forward to another stay here!

Great house, great location

Everything about this house was as advertised. The location was excellent - we could walk in the neighborhood or down to the lake and the kids enjoyed playing in the snow in the backyard. And I was able to have Instacart deliver groceries hours after we arrived which was a huge plus! Chris (the host) was very responsive and accommodating. We hope to stay there again!

A classic Tahoe experience

The home was as advertised. Walking distance to the shore. Dining and mini golf right nearby. Out of the chaos. Small quiet community. But Kings Beach is very nearby. The great thing is nothing is ever too far away. Quick drive to S Lake Tahoe for sailing and dinner. Hiking Mt. Rose. Day at the beach. Lots of room to spread out in the home for everyone. Plenty of bathrooms. Really easy to cook dinners for big family so no Covid worries. A barbeque that is superb. Family loved it. While we used it in the summer, it would be a totally perfect spot for winter.

We enjoyed our stay at this house in Carnelian Bay. The location is perfect and the house is comfortable and VERY well stocked. This was our first time to the area. We enjoyed the close proximity to the pebble beach which had SUP and kayak rentals. The Old Post Office, Gar Woods and 7-11 were all within convenient walking distance. We appreciated the less crowded atmosphere of the area. I highly recommend a stay at this home. Thank you for a great vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Stanley

Host profile image
I first moved to Lake Tahoe in 1992 after college to ski/snowboard. After most of my professional life in the San Francisco Bay Area and frequent visits to Tahoe was able to purchase the property in 2012.

Why they chose this property

This property has access to the best of North Lake Tahoe. An easy walk to the dog friendly Patton Beach, easy access to hiking and mountain biking trails almost out the back door as well as easy access to all of the North Lake Tahoe area ski resorts, this house has it all.

What makes this property unique

Location, Location, Location. Park the car and enjoy walking from the house to nearby restaurants, or a jump in the lake in the summer or have your choice of ski areas in the winter the location is very convenient to everything.
