Piney Retreat
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Make your way to the beauty of Carnelian Bay and soak in some lake seclusion at this fully updated and beautifully renovated home! With a bright interior with a fully equipped kitchen, cozy fireplace, all the amenities you could need for a breezy stay, and high-end finishings, there will be no need to sacrifice any comforts of home while away. After a dreamy day on the lake swimming, boating, kayaking, or fishing, returning home for a homecooked meal will be just the way to reminisce with loved ones about the fun that was had. The chef of the group will be in paradise with all new appliances and spacious countertops. Piney Retreat offers guests the convenience of a great separation between the bedrooms and the family area, providing even more privacy within the home. Not to mention, the furnished deck will be just the place to breathe in some fresh summer air with a favorite drink in hand.
WHAT’S NEARBY
If easy lake access is what you are after, this location is hard to beat, as the water is a block from your front door. Walk the opposite direction and you will find the trailhead to an extensive trail system that will be perfect for the hikers and bikers of the group to explore the surrounding area! Come winter, skiing is a short 12-mile drive away at the famous Northstar California Resort! Plus, when you want to check out the local restaurants and shops nearby, both Kings Beach and Carnelian Bay have their own unique places! Gar Woods Grill & Pier is a great dinner spot mere minutes from your front door.
THINGS TO KNOW
4WD/traction may be required in winter
