We liked the condo very much except the bed in the second bedroom was very uncomfortable and squeaky.

Thanks! We had a good weekend away. The carnelian woods condos are good, the rec center is a nice plus — good pool tables, a sauna and hot tub all there.This particular condo has a great location — because it’s at the very end, you have views of the forest out every window. Really nice. We walked up the hill and went sledding, it borders a national forest.Affordable, too, that helps. Thanks again!
I love staying in Carnelian bay! Condo is close to everything and had everything we needed!

This unit is comfortable for 3 adults. There is a lovely lake view from the balcony. The recreation center is very nice. Walking there with much swim equipment would be inconvenient.

This unit is comfortable for 3 adults. There is a lovely lake view from the balcony. The recreation center is very nice. Walking there with much swim equipment would be inconvenient.
The space was incredibly quiet and cozy, perfect for unwinding after a day on the slopes. It was warm and inviting, making it easy to relax. The location was unbeatable—just a short drive to ski resorts which made getting to and from the slopes so convenient. Overall, it was a great place to stay, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable spot.
I was in a group of 3 adults skiing at Palisades Tahoe and this rental was great for us! The property was very clean, accurate to listing, and easy to find. The host did a great job of sending all necessary info ahead of time (extra helpful if you save it in case you lose cell service on your way!).
Loved staying here. It was my partner and so it worked out great. It’s a loft with a twin bed in the second bedroom and a pullout couch. The loft had a queen bed and master bathroom. Lovely area and close to everything. We have a slight view of the lake from our balcony.
Check-in was smooth and hassle-free, with clear and timely communication throughout the process. The space was spotless, airy, and perfectly sized—ideal for the two of us, and it would easily accommodate a family of four.The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed, including a coffee maker, dishes, silverware, and a spacious refrigerator. The Wi-Fi worked flawlessly for streaming Netflix and casual browsing.One of our favorite parts was sleeping with the windows open, surrounded by the peaceful trees of and near Lake Tahoe. It created the calm, relaxing atmosphere we were hoping for—exactly what we needed to recharge.

We stayed in the unit during Thanksgiving and everyting was nice. This was our first trip there and we enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend it to anyone.
The place was clean. Location great. But really need to update and do maintenance on the bathrooms. The patio furniture could be updated. It was dirty, plus the cushions were dirty and very thin. Thank you
Pros: Clean, end unit, beautiful views of the lake and trees, convenient location, easy access, kitchen was well stocked with everything you need, laundry machine and dryer were nice having, fireplace kept us warm and cozy.
Cons: Unit can use some updating: lots of scuff marks on walls, loft master bed was too firm, only one TV in unit and it was very small, door for downstairs bathroom kept sticking when opening/closing, and downstairs floor is very squeaky.

We really enjoyed our week at the condo. Very comfortable for our family of three. The management company was extremely responsive and professional at every point, from booking through the end of our stay. There was a problem with the tennis court access one evening, and the management company responded right away with a solution.
Condo was very clean especially the kitchen and bathrooms.
However it needs a new paint job and a little updating in the bathrooms. Furniture very comfortable. Could use a fan either from the ceiling in loft bedroom. This June it was very hot and a fan would have been lovely. Also the noise from both bath fans was very annoying. It came on every time you turn on the bathroom light. I'm sure this can be fixed.

The cabin is very cosy and the pictures reflect it well. It was very clean. You could it had just been cleaned when we got there.The kitchen is well equipped and the bed has a hard but confirmable mattress.Extra pillows and blankets were available and the towels were good.The location is very quiet and close to the lake. Other attractions are not far away but you definitely need a car.I was planning to have some peaceful and quiet time and a place to rest. This cabin was perfect dor this purpose.
Overall it was a great stay. It is an end unit and it was very quiet. The kitchen is well stocked. It was clean but felt the unit could use a fresh coat of paint and some minor updating. I was able to figure out the T.V. but it would have been helpful if there was an instruction sheet. Unfortunately the unit is far from the club house and is not easy to cut through the property to shorten the route. The pool, clubhouse, and hot tub are fantastic. The pool is large and clean and the water is warm. The unit is on the end of town so it's a little bit of a drive to the grocery store and beach area. The only dislike were the pillows, they are hard & thin and the masterbed is firm as well. The unit is well stocked with blankets and extra bedding. Would definitely stay here again but I would bring my own pillows next time.
Lovely cozy cabin. From the porch you could actually see Lake Tahoe on a clear day. You have to drive to the community hot tub (also includes a game room and sauna) but we didn’t mind.

This condo is very nice. Clean and quiet. The area is not as developed as Tahoe City or Incline Village, but that’s why I like staying here.
