Cleanest, most organized and well maintained rental thus far! Too bad we couldn’t stay the full duration due to the winter storm coming in. We would definitely stay here again and recommend this home to our friends.

Good location

Its a convenient location. The property accommodates 4 adults and up to 4 kids. We had a bit of an emergency and needed a couple of extra hours for checkout that couldn't be accommodated. That aside, everything was good.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Aug 2025

Good to know everything was good and thanks for the very nice review in the cabin guest book. We always try to accommodate adjustments to check-in and check-out time when we can. In this instance, Sudeeksha and I confirmed that the oddly the text message with the request was sent but never arrived. We look forward to having you back on your future Lake Tahoe travels.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Fay

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.
