About this property

Near ski resorts! Huge Fenced Yard, Hot Tub, Serene and Very Private😀🐶⛷

Peaceful and tranquil Lake Tahoe mountain home. Book soon to get your preferred winter 2024 dates!We just finished a custom remodel of the kitchen and living room areas. New flooring and paint throughout. This perfect big family friendly/dog-friendly home is located in the quiet neighborhood of Carnelian Bay on the North Shore in the midst of all of the vacation activity spots on the North Shore. Our spacious four bedroom home with two living areas sits on a beautifully landscaped, sunny, fully fenced 1/3 acre lot just a couple of blocks from the dog-friendly Patton Beach at Waterman's Landing. Relax in the huge HOT TUB under the stars on the patio. Warm up after a full day of sightseeing, hiking, or skiing in front of a cozy fire in the big stone fireplace in the family room. Centrally located on the North Shore between Tahoe City and King's Beach. It is only 20 minutes to Squaw and Alpine and 15 minutes to Northstar.

Your family cooks will enjoy using the well stocked kitchen with stainless steel appliances and marble counter tops. The dining room set seats up to 10. and there is plenty of room for your group to spread out in this big one story house with a Living Room AND a Family Room. Each living room has a flat screen TV and plenty of comfy seating.

Gray stay at Kings Beach

The property overall is great 👍 has four bedrooms, three with big beds and one with two bunks and a twin. Spacious dinning table, two living rooms. Location is great, close to Tahoe and other places, as well as grocery stores. Overall the house is a great stay, but does have a bit outdated furniture. The hot tub was nice but had extreme amount of chlorine in it. The fire place was also very nice, but wood was not provided so you have to bring your own. We enjoyed our stay :)

Beautiful Property

We loved the property! Clean home with lots of upgrades to inside of home. Lovely fenced yard, perfect for us and our dog! No problems while on property. Quiet neighborhood, close to restaurants and grocery stores for those items forgotten. We will definitely keep this property on our list of go to properties when we are traveling to Lake Tahoe!

Amazing house

This house is in a wonderful neighborhood, close to the beach and grocery store. There were six of us who stayed here (including our two dogs) and there was plenty of room. The fireplace kept us warm and the open concept of the kitchen and living room was nice. Mady was a wonderful host and responded to messages quickly. Thanks for letting us stay in your amazing house. We will definitely love stay here again.

Lovely Tahoe property!

The property was exactly as advertised and truly lovely! The fenced in yard was great for the dogs and the hot tub was great for relaxing! This is one of the best stocked kitchens I've ever seen in a short term rental property, so well stocked and easy to cook in with quality appliances. The house layout is also great with the two living rooms for people to split up or hang out away from the bedrooms if some people go to bed early. The garage access with remote opener also came in handy for escaping the cold when loading and unloading the car. Would recommend!

Perfect Dog-Friendly Lake Tahoe house!

My family of 5 with three adult daughters and their 2 dogs just returned from our vacation. The property was wonderful! A big fully fenced back yard for the dogs, in a quiet neighborhood close to everything. Beautifully decorated, comfortable and clean. We really couldn’t have asked for more. Great communication with the owner made checking in and out simple. We loved the house and hope to be able to return someday! Thank you 😊

Fantastic woodlands home!

Overall this home was outstanding! Loads of space inside and out for our family reunion of ten people. The backyard was where we spent most of our time. Hot tub, hammock, badminton, corn hole, large table and chairs with umbrellas. Just perfect! The kitchen is really well stocked. I’ve never been to a property that was so easy to cook in. The management was super quick to respond to our questions/concerns. I felt like they were motivated to make our stay great. My only, and I do mean only hesitation in giving that fifth star was the many maintenance issues we experienced. These seemed to be due to the cleaning crew ; and the management was not even aware of the issues until we brought them up. As mentioned before, the management was quick to respond and help resolve the problems. We would definitely love to stay again. My family did not want to leave!! So close to the lake and mini golf and restaurants too!! Yet peaceful and quiet. A great home to rent!

In the Trees

This is a beautiful home with a large backyard, lovely kitchen, and multiple skylights that keep it bright inside. Layout is great allowing for some to stay up late while others go to bed early. There were a number of small maintenance issues (e.g.,a toilet seat on the floor, dirty hot tub and bbq, jammed laundry) that were a bit annoying but did not ruin our stay. We would definitely return.

Can’t wait to go back!

For a couple families with toddlers, this was such a great choice for us. The house is fully stocked, I didn’t even need to bring any toys, games or sleds! I loved having two living spaces particularly in the evening when the adults wanted to play games and shut ourselves in a room to keep noise down to babies asleep. The backyard is great and walking distance to the lake. Would love to stay again!

Awesome house & great location

Our family stayed here to celebrate my birthday and my husband's 70th birthday. The house is very nice and in a great location. The backyard was great to play games and the hot tub was also an added plus. We brought our 13 yr old dog with us and she loved the yard and house. It also was her birthday celebration along with ours. The furnishings are very nice and beds comfortable. With family travelling together it was also nice to have space in the house, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. We cooked several meals while there and the kitchen was great. We'll be back in the future!

The space had plenty of extra blankets and space heaters which made it extra cozy if we weren’t near the fire. Maddy was very accommodating, kind and easy to communicate with.

About the host

Hosted by Madelyn Morris

Our daughter Madelyn is handling the rentals for our Carnelian Bay home now. Our family has been renting our vacation rental homes in Tahoe since 2003. We often have our guests tell us that staying in one of our two homes is more like enjoying a friend's Tahoe Cabin than a rental house. I make it our policy to have a beautifully clean, nicely decorated Tahoe Style home for your mountain vacation, winter or summer.

Why they chose this property

The Agate Bay neighborhood in Carnelian Bay is a peaceful, quiet area, and our lot is 1/3 acre. The large space between the homes gives our house a lot of privacy,made even more private by our fully fenced back yard. This house feels very spacious, with a living room and a separate family room in a different wing. It makes it very private for a big group.

What makes this property unique

This property is SO peaceful with it's huge fenced in back yard, rock gardens and green lawns. The back patio is a perfect spot for summer barbeques. There are sunny and shady areas to choose from in the back yard. The neighborhood is a quiet residential area with all large lots for privacy. You can walk to the beach, Gar Woods, and several other restaurants. Bring your well behaved dog for a $20 per/nt. pet fee.
