The house was located in a wonderful spot, with plenty of room to relax in. The hot tub and pool was a nice way to relax in the early evening as pool closed at 7 pm.We would definitely stay here again.

Carnelian Woods is the perfect place to stay! Lake view, pristine water, peaceful, quiet, the lodge with pool tables, ping pong, air hockey, spa, huge pool, sauna, showers, kitchen, bbq, tennis, pickleball courts and close to Tahoe City with its bike routes and Lazy Truckee River rafting! What else could you ask for? This place offers everything!

Was a really good spot at the top of the mountain. Very quiet and plenty of parking.
Overall, a great place! It is outdated & needs to be remodeled- especially the bathrooms. The beds were uncomfortable & one of the queen beds had a big dip in the middle.
This place needs updates I had to report many problems and damages that it had when we first arrived.Refrigerator had a broken shelf there was a water dispenser holding itThe place has dents and holes by the kitchen area This place is not a 3bd the upstairs loft seems to be the 3th room Neighbor are not nice they will bang on your door if they hear noise. He insulted us and scare my family.

The location was perfect for the wedding we were attending. The property manager let us check in 30 minutes early as we arrived before expected.Property is very dated but quite acceptable as it has air conditioning!
This house was great for a group of 8 young adults. There were a handful of (LARGE) carpenter ants which seemed to be living in the house however, and when I mentioned this to the property manager upon departure they claimed they couldn't see any ants....but we definitely saw them.

Great location, horrible inside
We knew when we rented this condo that it was outdated, however it was actually outdated plus not kept up. The beds and pillows were old and lumpy, several pieces of furniture were broken, there were holes in the walls and in the screen door, stains on the carpet and I could go on.The location, view and clubhouse were amazing, however it was not a restful stay. We spent time fixing toilets and furniture and not sleeping at night.If you like this location I would recommend renting a different unit.

We’re also working with our maintenance and cleaning teams to ensure these types of problems are resolved promptly moving forward.
We're glad to hear you enjoyed the location, view, and clubhouse, and we genuinely appreciate your honest input—it helps us make necessary improvements. Should you consider staying in the area again, we’d love the opportunity to provide a much better experience.
Thank you again for your review.
The Lakeview was awesome. The unit needs some updating. TV was 32 inches ridiculously small. The dishwasher racks were missing parts so rack almost fell out every time. Refrigerator/freezer iced up. Carpets were dirty. Bathroom door upstairs did not lock. Bar stool broken. Drywall by the barstool had a whole in it. Recliner didn't work. Hole where lever would have been. Also a had a hole in the drywall next to the broken barstool King size bed in the master would have been nice.On the positive side when we had a problem with the toilets the repairs was quick.We have stayed at carnelian woods many times over the last 49 years.I would definitely stay at carnelian woods again but not this unit.

A three night family stay in Tahoe and we stayed at this condo. The location was perfect. Pros and Cons:Pros: They had everything we needed, the grill works great! Cons: The condo is a bit dated, it was hot they needed more fans available for guest, the couch since it's a sleeper was not comfortable to sit in. Overall is was good...(not great but good).
Staying in this condo for our first family trip to Tahoe was perfect!
The photos were a good representation of this 3 story house. The main bedroom and queen bed were on the first floor and shared a bathroom. The kitchen and living space were on the second floor and the two twin beds are in the loft area on the third level. The home is older and though everything isn’t brand spanking new, it was comfy and had everything we needed for a week long trip. It had plenty of towels and toilet paper and the kitchen had all tools needed for meals. Check in and out we’re all done with no need to visit the rental company. This made it super easy.
The view of the lake, though further than I had hoped was still perfect for viewing while having morning coffee. The location was perfect for us. There is a small rocky beach that is walkable down the hill. However we found ourselves going to Forest Beach or Secline. Also at the bottom of the hill is the Clubhouse with pool and hot tubs. My family spent a few hours playing bocce down there too. Driving to Heavenly for the gondola ride was about an hour but the views and stops along the way made it seem super close. We also rented kayaks and paddle boards to check out Powerboat beach and later rented a boat for tubing and wake boarding. Mixed in the week were hikes to Monkey Rock, Martis Fire Look Out and Eagle Rock.
It was a great week for our family and there was much to do to keep 3 teens occupied! The memories we made were priceless!

Comfortable property. We are excited to return.
First the positive, I like the location, well stocked kitchen, washer and dryer was appreciated, nice to have balconies, microwave broke but replaced the next day and exterminator came out twice to deal with ants. Negative, 50 year old townhouse, and it shows it. Carpet needs cleaning as does furniture, we had ant problems, upstairs toilet seat does not stay up due to poor install, large bowl under kitchen sink with water, obviously put there to catch leaky kitchen sink, Wifi cuts in and out which also provides signal to TV, wrong coffee filters, not even one box of tissues, and when I walked by heater filter it looks like it was clogged full of dust and dirt. Shower diverter and faucets need attention. Small dishwasher, ended up washing tall glasses by hand.. Overall a lack of maintenance and upkeep.

Great location up the mountain a bit and lots of trees. Pool isn't really close but a very short drive away. The home could use a little TLC (particularly in the bathrooms and kitchen) and is a little hot at night in the summer since no A/C (even with windows open). A little ant issues in the kitchen as well. Nothing too scary. Great view from balcony. Parking is easy breezy.
Centrally located to a the fun activities of Lake Tahoe. Property is perfect for even larger family - it was 4 of us. Spacious, well equipped townhome with a breathtaking view of the lake.
