Mountain Escape with Walk-in/Walk-out Snow-Shoe, Biking, Hiking, Tahoe Rim Trail

Retreat to our charming Lake Tahoe mountain home on Lake Tahoe's magical north west shore for a comfortable, convenient and relaxing getaway. We've taken great care to create a beautiful space to relax and play; to escape the busy life and renew the spirit. House has all amenities you will desire.

Located on flat terrain in the quiet neighborhood of Talmont [305 Rose Pine Court, Tahoe City, CA], a few feet from the Tahoe National Forest wilderness and minutes walk to the Tahoe Rim Trail. A two minute drive down the hill gets you to Sunnyside Marina and lakeside beaches. If your activity of choice is hiking, mountain biking, snow shoeing, cross country or downhill skiing, there isn't a better spot to base yourself. Also conveniently located just over two miles to the heart of Tahoe City for shopping and terrific restaurants.

The house interior is bright, spacious and well appointed throughout with custom local artist-made furniture. The cabin also features a lovely river rock fireplace, a fully stocked gourmet kitchen and home-office space.

Winter: Cross country skiing and snowshoeing is walk-in/walk-out from the cabin with miles of gentle interconnected trails in Paige Meadows and Tahoe Rim Trail. Toboggans available for use.

Summer: Sunny deck with cafe lights for summer relaxation. We have beach chairs, tables, sail shades, umbrellas, Gas BBQ grill, etc. available for your use.

Other important highlights include:

- Very high speed internet suitable for multiple devices streaming HD videos, video conferencing, VOIP and gaming at the same time.
- Excellent cell phone coverage
- Flat Lot, wide street, cul-de-sac (kid safe)
- The garage features a 10 ft ceiling accommodates your roof-racks
- Long driveway with hammerhead allows for easy parking of large vehicles

Disclosures:
- Security & Snow Clearance Management : There is a webcam outside, mounted above the garage door and facing the driveway towards the road. This is to monitor for adequate snow clearance during the winter months.
- Mandatory Placer County California "Good Neighbor Policies" are posted

Tahoe stay

A very nice home and location. The host was very attentive regarding the check in and check out information. The beds and furnishings were great. The host had provided a lot of items such as games to keep us busy. We would highly recommend this home to other families looking to visit the Tahoe area.

Nice spacious cabin

We had a fabulous stay at this property! The open layout was great. It was perfect for 2 families to stay in. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook our meals. The beds were very comfortable and the kids loved staying in the bunk bed room. The place was extremely clean. Laura was very quick to respond with any questions we had which was not that many since her checkin instructions were very detailed and clear. Looking forward to staying again!

Great spacious cabin for 4 or more people

We stayed 4 nights and 3 days with my wife, 27 year old son and his girlfriend. I liked the floor plan of the cabin: the bedrooms were on the first floor, including the master bedroom and bathroom with 2 sinks and a separate shower/toilet, a second bedroom, a second bathroom, a third bedroom with bunkbeds, and a washer/dryer. Upstairs was the living area in an open space concept, including a living room, large screen TV, dining area, kitchen with island, and the outdoors covered deck. The kitchen was fully equipped with plates, silverware, utensils, coffee maker, toaster, etc. The cabin was clean and well kept. It is located on the west shore of Tahoe near Sunnyside, high on a mountainside. The property was accurately described in the ad. Everyone enjoyed their stay in the cabin. We spent the days hiking and jet skiing. Dinner on the deck was pleasantly relaxing. We would return again if we were a party of 4 or more.

Tahoe City Weekend in Heaven

Would absolutely book this cabin again. Possibly the cleanest vacation rental we've stayed at. It was perfect for us as two couples. Kitchen is very well equipped to cook meals. Beautiful view and deck to enjoy. The only thing that would make it better would be if we could walk to the lake. But, it is a short drive down to the lake and you are close to everything!!

An excellent getaway

This property is incredibly cozy and well equipped with all the necessary amenities. There is plenty of room to house many people in lots of different contexts (bedrooms, large living and dining room, and an upstairs workspace). The hosts go above and beyond to make the house welcoming and comfortable during the stay. It would be helpful if the kitchen cabinets included labels just because there are a lot of great amenities provided. Overall, we were thrilled with our stay and hope to return for another excellent getaway!

Comfortable house in quiet neighborhood

This house is as pictured. It is comfortable but a bit dated. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen is stocked and has what you need to cook but could use some new frying pans. The outdoor BBQ is nice to have. It is almost 3 miles up from the Lake - but if you want to hike or mountain bike the rim trail is pretty close- 2 blocks away. The neighborhood is very quiet.

We really loved our stay. The house was very cozy and comfortable. It exceeded our expectations. It was clean and provided for all our needs. Lots of towels, toilet paper, cooking utensils, etc.. made it convenient. While we didn’t cook much, it made making breakfast easy. It was a 20 min drive to Palisades and a few minutes to town via car. Laura was so easy to work with and made check in and check out easy. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you so much!

Immaculate Home and Perfect Location

We were drawn to Carraig Nua due to its proximity to the Tahoe Rim Trail, and the house exceeded our expectations in that regard and many others. It is just around the corner from a trailhead leading you to the beautiful Paige Meadows section of the TRT. We enjoyed morning hikes right out the front door. The house is ideally situated near Tahoe City, and we enjoyed dining, shopping and strolling the boardwalk in town. It was also convenient for day trips to Olympic Valley (Palisades Tahoe resort), South Lake Tahoe (where we did a boat cruise to Emerald Bay and more) and even to Virginia City, NV, a fun Old West town with an interesting history in gold and silver mining. And we have to mention the home's close proximity to the Tahoe House Bakery and Gourmet - we stopped there nearly every morning for coffee and muffins, or later in the day to pick up lunch and cookies. (Get the Pecan Tea Cakes!) Aside from its prime location, the house itself was immaculate - very clean and tidy. It was well-stocked with paper goods, cleaning supplies, and kitchen essentials, including spices, etc. The furnishings were comfortable, and the decorative touches were charming and aesthetically pleasing. Despite the July heat and mid-day temperatures in the 90s, the downstairs rooms remained cool and pleasant. We spent most mornings and evenings on the back deck, which was furnished comfortably, with a shade tarp and string lights that created a cozy ambiance. We loved our stay! Thank you, Laura!
