Need a place in North Tahoe for the whole family (or two families) to stay under one roof? With room to sleep 9 guests, this is the perfect townhome for your Forest Retreat!
Plenty of windows allow for natural light in this bright and open space. The kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring were recently renovated so it's sure to please. The entry level includes two bedrooms, one boasts a comfortable king-size bed and the other with two bunk sets. One of the bedrooms has a glass sliding door to the covered deck and the other has a window seat. There is also a full bath with a tub/shower. The laundry closet is just across the hall. On the second level, the living room, dining area, and kitchen are all together, so everyone can gather in one place. You’ll also find the third bedroom with king-size bed, large windows, and window seat, and the second full bathroom. Plenty of bath linens are provided.
In the living room, relax and warm up by the gas fireplace. There's a flat screen TV with cable and DVD player and Wi-Fi to keep everyone entertained, or, sink into the cozy sofas and connect with a good conversation. Step out on the adjacent covered deck to admire the forest views (BBQ NOT AVAILABLE - PLACER COUNTY ORDINANCE). With all those people, at times it’s easier and more economical to stay in for meals. The well-equipped kitchen features stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops and includes everything you need to prepare a hearty breakfast, a quick snack, or a home-cooked dinner. You can also grill on the deck barbeque. The dishwasher makes clean up a breeze. There are six chairs at the large dining table and four more chairs at the breakfast bar.
When you’re ready to venture outside, you’ll love this perfect vacation setting. The Recreation Center / Lodge features a swimming pool, two outdoor hot tubs, locker room saunas, billiards, tennis and bocce courts, and a fitness trail. The complex backs up to Tahoe National Forest, offering miles of hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and other activities year-round. Your Forest Retreat is in Carnelian Bay, where all North Lake Tahoe is right at your doorstep! Stroll down to Magic Carpet mini golf or check out Waterman’s Landing, located at Patton Landing Beach, a 3-acre, pebbly beach known for stand-up paddling.
Closer to home, you'll find superb dining options right in town like Gar Woods Grill and Pier for steaks and fish, the Old Post Office Coffee Shop for hearty breakfasts, and CB's Pizza for hand-tossed pies and beer. You're only 10-12 miles from three great ski resorts—Northstar, Alpine Meadows, and Squaw Valley. Whether you prefer to downhill or cross-country ski, snowboard, snowshoe, or go sledding or ice skating, North Tahoe is the place for winter fun. At Squaw Valley, after conquering the slopes, go tubing with the kids or try out the mini snowmobiles at SnoVentures Activity Zone. There are dogsledding tours too!In every season, the Village at Squaw Valley offers dining, shopping, the Squaw Valley Aerial Tram, and a variety of activities. In the summer, ride the Aerial Tram to High Camp then choose a scenic trail and walk or hike in one of the most breathtaking places in the world! At 8,200 feet elevation, admire the beauty of the Sierra Nevada Mountains with views of Lake Tahoe and Squaw Valley's legendary granite peaks. In the Aerial Tram building lobby, kids and grownups can have a blast climbing the variety of routes on the 30’ simulated Headwall Climbing Wall. If you dare, learn how to do a front or back somersault at Skyjump; all ages are welcome.
NOTE: Carnelian Woods Amenities: Hot Tubs are Typically open daily. Pool and Tennis open summer only. Amenity access never guaranteed. Please check website for availability: carnelianwoodsorg
