This was the best stocked house we have ever stayed in. It was easy to prepare meals for our group of 7. Plenty of blankets, towels, and hot water. It was clean. Everything worked. Big enough to spread out but not so big you lost people. Great location. We hope to come back in the summer to enjoy the porch.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Carnelian Bay property! We spent two nights here with friends and family, and it turned out to be the perfect winter getaway.The home was clean, cozy, and very well maintained, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy. It truly felt like a home away from home. One of the highlights of our stay was the beautiful snow and gentle snowfall right outside the property—it made everything feel magical and added so much to the overall experience.We loved spending time together indoors while enjoying the scenic winter views outdoors. The location was peaceful and ideal for a relaxing family trip. Overall, the property was awesome, and we made some unforgettable memories here.Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable stay in Carnelian Bay. We would love to come back again!

July 4th friends trip

Cabin was well suited for a group trip for 4th of July. The location was easy walking to restaurants and the beach. The patio was spacious. Only downside was we had planned to BBQ over the four days and learned a few days before arrival that it was not allowed for renters.

Lovely, quiet neighborhood with roomy cabin

Our hosts were very responsive, and our stay was lovely. The L-shaped deck with dining table (and umbrella) is a treat, and the newish bathrooms are wonderful. The location--somewhere between Kings Beach and Tahoe City--is terrific, and Carnelian Bay has its own charms as well.

The perfect stay

Rented the cabin for a weekend with my small swimming team and it was the perfect fit. Plenty of towels and hot water, kitchen items, and comfy beds for us to crash after a long day in the water. Very clean and well-organized and communicated. We'll definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Cate Francis

Host profile image
I grew up in a small town in Nevada and I used to vacation with my family in Lake Tahoe. I always dreamed of having a place in Lake Tahoe. I was able to fulfill that dream when my husband and I were able to purchase this place in 2016. We purchased it from a family that owned this cabin since 1979 and they told us they have a lot of memories that they created over the years. My husband and I are hoping to make our own memories along with our daughter and son and hopefully their family and friends in the coming years. We also hope to share this place with other people who love and admire one of the most beautiful places on planet earth; Lake Tahoe

Why they chose this property

You cannot beat the beauty of Carnelian Bay and the small town feel of King's Beach.
