If you ask me, Carnelian Bay is the perfect place to be in all of Tahoe. It is central to so much and most areas are within 10-20 minutes away-- East shore and Sand Harbor, Incline Village, Tahoe City, Northstar, Pallisades, West Shore and more. Not too many people know about this area (not touristy!). It is set right in the pine-scented woods but also walking distance from the lake. The home has such a relaxing and peaceful feel due to it's location. You can walk to The Old Post Office for breakfast and then enjoy a Wet Woody cocktail at Gar Woods watching the sunset. The kids can walk to a round of mini golf and play at the arcade too. It's the best!
