About this property

Macdonald Cabin

Summary:

The Space:

This spacious and well-appointed cabin is the perfect rental for a family vacation or retreat with a group of friends. Located 1/4 mile from pristine Lake Tahoe near Carnelian Bay, the Macdonald Cabin is ideally situated to take advantage of all that the Tahoe Basin has to offer! This Four Bedroom, Two Bathroom home features high ceilings in the living room, a unique wood-burning stove, fully stocked kitchen and many good memories.



Agate Bay is a quiet, friendly neighborhood great for walking, hiking and biking. The neighborhood is backed up to National Forest Land, where you will find trails that lead to the Tahoe Rim Trail and beyond! The property is a half mile to Patton Beach in Carnelian Bay, one of the few dog-friendly beaches in the area. One can hike or mountain bike uphill through the forest to Brockway Summit for panoramic lake views. The Macdonald Cabin offers a little taste of everything for everyone!
