Wonderful

Watched a beautiful sunrise from the deck. Ample kitchen supplies--we made our dinners and breakfasts here. Beds comfortable. Unit conveniently close to parking. We loved it!
Disappointed that the bedding had holes, towel bar in upstairs bathroom was coming out of the wall and can light I downstairs bathroom was coming out. Was clean and conveniently located.
This was exactly what we were looking for for a group of 4. Good space, clean and a good location for us heading to Palisades and Tahoe city frequently.
Communication was particularly excellent and check in process was super easy.

Reviewer Comments:
Our Tahoe condo was clean, spacious and well appointed. Bed was comfy. Plenty of cooking gear. The mountain view from the balcony was gorgeous! The on-site lodge was spotless and had plenty of things to do including a library. The pool and hot tub were great but it would have been nice to have a few pool/beach towels. The beach is a short drive away. Loads of hiking trails nearby.
Our first visit to Tahoe. The Carnelian an Woods condo suited us perfectly! We were able to make this our home base and enjoyed different adventures every day. We also enjoyed morning coffee on our balcony with a view. We hope to be back some day, thanks again!!

Great location. Would wish for it to be closer to the lake. Was advertised as beachfront...it was not beachfront, not even close.

Thank you for your response. We do not list that our home is beachfront. We reviewed the listing to search for errors and could not find any.
Very beautiful and peaceful. Evening walks around the neighborhood were very nice. It was exactly what we were looking for before the kids go back to school. The only thing that would have been nice is having more things around to do.

Reviewer Comments:
The house was decent. They have a great deal of paperwork they request you fill out beyond the VRBO app. The pool was closed. The pool and clubhouse are very far from the room, you are required to drive there to use amenities, not walking distance. Other than those issues the accommodation was fair.
We had a lovely stay at this Carnelian Bay townhome. The kitchen was fully stocked with spices, oils and cooking utensils. The location was easy to navigate to and from to the various ski resorts around. The only thing that was not accurate on the listing was the hot tub is only open on the weekends. This was a major bummer for us since every ski trip we like to go in the hot tub after we ski yet it was closed Monday - Thursday and the recreational center employee said it was because it was too expensive to operate. Besides that we had a great stay.

Reviewer Comments:
A friend an I rented this for a few days of hiking. Overall, the rental process was very professional and buttoned up. The house was fine ( Do NOT stay there if you have mobility issues; the 2nd bedroom is reached from a very steep set of stairs.) However, the condo is in need of an update, and we experienced several small but irritating problems, including burned out light bulbs and jammed drawers. The management company was quick to come when we called, but couldn’t fix at least one problem, as they didn’t have the right bulb (I presume). We stayed at a time when the pool and spa weren’t open to guests; it would be a better value when they are available.

We did respond to the guests regarding the items reported, and addressed all. We did find an operator error issue. The stairs are normal in slope (not steep).

Quiet yet noisy
The property/area was quiet, yet the house was quite noisy at night. Not sure if it was the settling of the home or ? Lots of creaking and pops. At one point we all were woken up by a loud bang sound, but could find nothing. The recreation area was about 1/2 mile down the road. Other homes we rented in the past have had a game cabinet which was helpful when traveling from another state. This home did not supply any games. This home had basic supplies. This home is listed for sale so not sure if this was a factor.
We spent two nights for our anniversary getaway in June 2023 at this cute little condo unit. The location is perfect -- within three minutes drive of the lake and restaurants. The Carnelian Woods campus also has a lodge, hot tubs, pool, tennis courts, hiking trails, and other great amenities, but we didn't use them.
The unit was well-furnished, with everything we could want from a VRBO rental. The kitchen had all the utensils, dining ware, and appliances we needed, an electric stove, a full-sized fridge with ice cubes already made. There's a TV in each bedroom and in the living room. They are small TVs, and the one in the living room is in an awkward upper corner, but you don't go to Tahoe to sit and watch TV all day, do you?
The hosts were very responsive and answered questions quickly via email. They even provided tips about dealing with local wildlife (bears!).
A variety of excellent restaurants were within 5-10 minutes drive. We went to Gar Wood twice and had great steaks and desserts there, with walking on the pier and along the lakeshore afterward. Tahoe City was only about 15 minutes away and had even more to choose from.
This would be a great choice for anyone looking to get away to a quiet spot by the lake.

The place was clean and as advertised. We had a slight issue that was not due to any negligence of the owner and It was addressed immediately to our satisfaction as soon as I mentioned it. There was ample parking and it was close to the unit. We would stay here again.

We chose Tahoe off season to beat the crowds, this place did it for us. If you are looking for entertainment and shopping this is NOT the place for you because there is none of this in Carnelian Bay, so that was a little disappointing. The place was clean but it does need a few boxes of tissues sitting around.
