HOME DETAILS -- Large, beautifully decorated, completely refurbished Carnelian Bay home in Cedar Flat. Sleeps 6 adults in 3 private bedrooms and 4 kids/teens in fully-furnished loft.

Large hot tub and fire pit on the deck, plus high-end gas barbeque and firepit in summer months. Deck tables seat 12 for dinner.
LOCATION -- Great access to Tahoe's largest network of hiking and mountain biking trails directly behind the house. Also great for walking on quiet, private streets. Great for snowshoes in winter. 5-minute drive to private HOA beach and pier. Our kayak and paddleboards are for your private use. Easy winter access to skiing at Palisades Tahoe (Squaw Valley) and Northstar (both 20 minutes away). Fine and casual dining in Tahoe City (10 minutes) or at Garwood's in Carnelian Bay (5 minutes). Casinos on the Nevada/California border (15 minutes).
BEDROOMS -- One king bedroom downstairs with ensuite bath one king and one queen upstairs, plus loft room that sleeps 4 (with one Tempurpedic pull-out sofa and three extra-long twins.) All beds include foam mattresses, hotel-quality bed linens with goose-down comforters, white freshly laundered duvet covers, plus cotton blankets for warmer summer nights. Down, solid foam and Tempur-pedic pillows available. Thick cotton bath towels provided, along with beach towels for use at the lake. Three TVs.
KITCHEN -- The kitchen is chef-ready, including a large wood center-island with sink for food prep. Stainless steel pots and pans, sharpened Henckels knives, Drip, K-Cup and Nespresso coffee makers, Bosch Dual Ovens with microwave, convection and conventional heat, 5-burner Thermador gas range, fully stocked with counter-top small appliances and chef's tools. Also many spices and staple items.
BATHROOMS -- 3 full bathrooms. All fully tiled with glass showers. Jetted Jacuzzi tub in master bedroom.
LIVING ROOM -- Large leather seating for 8, rocking chair, new (2021) gas fireplace, reading lamps, hardwood floors, Persian rugs, Samsung HDTV.
DINING ROOM -- Beautiful live-edge table seats 8 on leather chairs. Dinnerware service for 10, table linens, cloth napkins, centerpieces, perfect for family dinners, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
DECK -- Wrap-around deck gets summer sun from 7am til 7pm. Summer deck furniture with seating for 12 at two tables, two wooden porch rockers plus four upholstered chairs, cocktail table, chase lounge chair and gas fire pit. Gates to keep kids on the deck.
In winter, no grill or firepit. Four chairs are available for the deck. Regular snow shoveling of the deck provided.
HOT TUB -- Large, new (2023) hot tub seats 6. Located in private area on the deck.
OFFICE -- Quiet desk area with adjustable leather chair, hi speed WiFi, land-line phone, printer/scanner.
FRONT YARD // Large front yard for kids to play. Yard games stored in the garage: horseshoes, bocce ball, corn hole, whiffle ball, football, smashball.
Snowshoes and sleds provided in the winter. Great flat yard for building snow men and snowball fights. Ample ski and snowboard storage on racks in garage.
HIKING AND BIKING TRAILS -- Hiking and biking trails just across the street from the house lead into the Tahoe National Forest with hundreds of square miles to explore. Ride mountain bikes or hike on trails to Northstar ski area or Tahoe City. Whether you like to walk on quiet roads or hike in the forest, this is a hiker's paradise. Snowmobile trails also start just up the street. Great for snowshoeing in the winter (snowshoes provided).
BOATING -- You can keep the boat on a trailer parked off the street; launch is only ten minutes away at public ramp. From that ramp you travel only ten minutes on the lake to reach the private pier for the homeowners association. You can tie up there to take on passengers (no overnight or extended docking). Streets are narrow but we are able to bring our 23' boat on a trailer to the property.
LAKE ACCESS // Dock keys available to private homeowner's association beach and dock. One mile from the house (3-minute drive or 10-minute downhill walk.) Parking for beach is alongside the highway. Many good nearby public beaches, too.
NO PETS -- Sorry, but dogs and cats are not permitted.
LOCAL AREA -- 20 minute drive to Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley) or Northstar Resort. You are going AGAINST normal ski traffic so delays are uncommon. Garwoods on the Lake is a 5-minute drive. Tahoe City and Kings Beach are less than 10 minutes with grocery stores, shopping and restaurants.
Cross-country skiing course in Tahoe City is 5 minutes.

About the host
Hosted by Richard Neubauer
Our family lives in San Diego and in nearby Truckee. We've stayed at many rental condos and houses while skiing, boating and travelling. Mostly, we've been disappointed. We've furnished and outfitted this house to meet our own demanding expectations. We spend a lot of time here, so we maintain it to our high standards.
Why they chose this property
Carnelian Bay is among the most convenient places on the lake, whether you fly into Reno (1 hour 15 minutes) or drive up from San Francisco (3 hours 30 minutes). The house is in a quiet location away from the busy, noisy highway around the lake but when you're ready to go out for dinner or cocktails, there are many fine choices nearby. Grocery stores and other shops are ten minutes away. Before purchasing this home we vacationed at Tahoe for years, staying at the Tahoe Keys in South Lake Tahoe, Incline Village in Nevada, Alpine Meadows on the Truckee River, and Homewood on the West Shore. This feels the best to us. The across-the-street access to the hiking trails is a huge benefit in all seasons.
What makes this property unique
Completely refurbished in 2021 with high-end furniture and new gas fireplace. Large corner lot, heavily wooded with a big front yard. Located on a private road in a private community, traffic is very light and children can safely play in the yard while you sit and watch from the deck. In late spring and early summer you'll hear the nearby creek running down to the lake. You can walk the quiet, winding streets or hike in the adjacent National Forest land. There is no retail or commercial activity in this upscale 'Old Tahoe' neighborhood.
