The Carnelian Bay Basecamp is perfect for families and groups who are looking for a spacious, functional home in a perfect location. The 3-story, 2,400 square-foot home was remodeled in 2023 and is tastefully decorated with custom-built wood tables and newly updated furniture. It includes the special features to enhance your Lake Tahoe vacation including a hot tub, two separate living rooms, sunny rear deck with BBQ, modern electronics including flatscreen TVs with Roku streaming services, a pool table and wet bar, a home office setup for those needing to do some Zoom calls and get some work done and off-street parking for 4 cars.
The location is ideal. The home is on a quiet, sunny, relatively flat street with little thru traffic providing easy access in winter. Just two blocks from the home is a trailhead to Tahoe National Forest / Tahoe Conservancy land offering access to miles of mountain biking and hiking trails including the Tahoe Rim Trail with breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe. The lakeshore is a short half-mile walk offering locals' favorite restaurants, the famous Garwoods restaurant and bar and two public beaches. The central location offers quick access to all the best ski resorts in the area, including a short 15-minute drive to Northstar or 20 minutes to Alpine Meadows and Palisades.
Upon entry to the main floor you are presented with a sunny and bright seating area with vaulted ceilings, TV, stone fireplace, and large south facing windows to allow for natural light. The beautiful hardwood floors extend into the kitchen which was completely remodeled in 2023 with a high end Chef's gas range, ample counter space, and a large dining table.

One of the most well equipped kitchens we’ve stayed at in a long time! Separate game room with pool table was perfect for lounging and hanging out. Every board game you could think of. Pet friendly home also had rags that we appreciated having when needed. Would definitely stay again!

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the kitchen, game room, and all the board games. It’s great to know the space was perfect.
Property was very much as advertised. We had 4 adult couples and there was plenty of room for all of us. The property was well maintained and we lacked nothing. Beautiful setting, too.
We had a great stay. The location is perfect for easy access to beaches. The layout of the house was ideal for our family group with plenty of space and separate areas. The kitchen is very well equipped and we appreciated the generous supplies of all types (including extra towels). Also appreciated having minimal checkout tasks!
This is one of the best "ski lodge" condos that I have ever stayed at. The kitchen was well stocked. The hot tub was clean and it worked great. The rec room was good, the living room was super nice, the beds were comfy and clean, etc. A minor concern is that when the neighbors are burning wood fireplaces, the smoke did get into the our rental (especially on the bottom floor). Regardless, this place is a gem and I would rent it again if I could.
We had a really great trip in a beautiful home! We loved the hot tub and accessibility to the ski resorts. It was easy and seamless to get into the home. Thank you!

Yay! It is a brand new hot tub, so we are glad that you enjoyed it along with the rest of your stay!
The house is beautiful, well kept, & has several amenities--full kitchen ware, hot tub, and pool table which my 18 & 20 year old loved! It's close to wherever you want to visit. We will definitely stay here again. The host made everything very convenient and streamlined. No hiccups.
Took the whole family to Lake Tahoe for White Christmas. This accommodation has everything our family of 9 ( 6 adults, 3 children) needed. We were able to enjoy a wonderful Christmas dinner. It was a perfect getaway for us.
