About this property

Tahoe Mountain Retreat

  • Retreat to this wonderful lakeview home with breathtaking panoramic views!

    Enjoy relaxed living on a bluff above Lake Tahoe. Nestled in a hollow out of the prevailing wind, every room in this home looks out over the lake, with views across Crystal Bay Point and along the beautiful east shore. Be amazed by every mood the lake has to show, from the sun line rising on the Eastern Sierra to spectacular full moon nights which can be enjoyed from the private hot tub on the deck. Each room is tastefully decorated and the beds have high thread count linens, down comforters, and lots of soft pillows.

    Our open floor plan has a master suite with queen bed upstairs off the living room/great room. The remaining bedrooms (second master suite with queen bed, and two queen bedrooms) are downstairs off the family room. We have a wonderful wood stove in the family room that heats the whole house and firewood is provided. The attached apartment has 1 queen bed in the bedroom with interior access to the apartment from the main house, as well as from the garage.

    With 3500 sq. ft. of total living space there is room for everyone. There's a two car garage and plenty of off street parking. Enjoy High Speed Internet/Wi-Fi and Cable TV through out the home. We are located just one block from the lake, close to ski areas and casinos, Garwoods and 7-Eleven are just down the road.

This property's highlight was the view of the entire Lake Tahoe. Next was the layout of the house which includes three levels each with a seating area, bathrooms in all areas some with two, two kitchens. Could not ask for more! Everyone was delighted with our stay at the Tahoe Mountain Retreat.

Great cabin for large family gathering. We were looking for views and comfort, not fancy. We had 9 adults with plenty of room to spread out. Views are incredible and hot tub on deck that is ready for use was a welcome bonus. Bear sighting was exciting but also a reminder to be careful. Location was great for excursions to incline area one day and Sugar Pine Point State Park the other. Be sure to bring your own staples such as coffee and allow time to complete departure check list such as running and emptying dishwasher.

Another wonderful stay at this beautiful Carnelian Bay home

This is our second stay at this property and it was just as wonderful as our first time. The accommodations were perfect for our extended ski weekend with our family. We had a comfortable stay with an outstanding view of the lake. The owners were quickly responsive to any questions we had and we will likely come back again in the future!

The home was very beautiful. It had so much room for family. Enjoyed the evenings sitting on the deck looking at the water or sitting in the hot tub. Waking up and going to bed every day looking at Lake Tahoe was the highlight of our stay.

This is a perfect house for multiple things to be happening at once. Our son’s family was in the apartment with the littles that have their special needs.

Family gathering for 8 to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary.

The house was perfect for our three small families, ranging in ages from 6 to 70. The view of the lake is spectacular and the location of the house on Carnelian Bay in North Tahoe is great. We have stayed in South and North Tahoe and prefer the latter. If you love wooden boats, be sure to visit Sierra Boat Company.
