Daybreak Retreat - New Remodel w/ Private Hot Tub

Formerly known as "Jeff's Mountain Chalet" the Daybreak Retreat has been TRANSFORMED. Following a complete remodel in 2023 this home is ready to welcome renters again. New and improved this pet-friendly Lake Tahoe vacation rental is situated on a quiet, forested street in the heart of Carnelian Bay. Hiking and biking trails are minutes from the home, with the shops and restaurants of Tahoe City and Lake Tahoe's ski resorts just a short drive away.

Renovated from top-to-bottom, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom North Shore retreat blends a state-of-the-art modern design with classic mountain charm. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive picture windows that showcase the gorgeous alpine scenery, and an open-concept layout that effortlessly connects the kitchen, living, and dining areas. The living room features cozy decor and furnishings, a flat-screen TV, and an impressive floor-to-ceiling gas fireplace.

You will love cooking up delicious meals in the sparkling new gourmet kitchen featuring marble countertops and top-of-the-line Boche and Wolf appliances, including a 5-burner gas range stove and double oven. A charming breakfast bar for three adds a touch of casual elegance, while the spacious and sunlit dining area offers delightful views. Step outside onto a large deck with views of the forested backyard, where you can savor your morning cup of coffee or unwind in the private hot tub beneath a star-filled sky.

This vacation cabin features four bedrooms, including a convenient main-floor bedroom with a queen-size bed. A full bathroom and mud room complete the main floor. Upstairs, the primary bedroom boasts a queen bed, a dedicated workspace, a private patio, and a beautiful ensuite bathroom. Two more guest bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with two twin beds and a futon bed, share a well-appointed full bathroom.

Enjoy convenient access to kayak, boat, and bike rentals and the fact that you're just a quick 20-minute drive away from Palisades Tahoe and Northstar California Resort, making Daybreak Retreat at Carnelian Bay the perfect year-round Lake Tahoe getaway!

ABOUT THE AREA
Nestled by the stunning Lake Tahoe, Carnelian Bay is a special place that captures hearts with its history, beauty, and charm. Originally named after its colorful shoreline, this lakeside town has become a beloved spot for dog lovers, kayakers, paddleboarding enthusiasts, and sunset seekers. Situated between Tahoe City and Kings Beach, Carnelian Bay invites you to relax and soak in its laid-back atmosphere.

Immerse yourself in the enchanting waters of Lake Tahoe, where Carnelian Bay reigns as a paradise for paddleboarding. And when it's time to unwind, treat yourself to a signature "Wet Woody" on the expansive deck of Gar Woods Grill & Pier.

At Patton Landing, a three-acre pebbly beach, relaxation and leisure await. Waterman's Landing tempts you with its gourmet coffee house and full-service café, ensuring your cravings are satisfied. The beach provides a free "car top" boat launch, making it easy for you to embark on aquatic adventures. Plus, don't worry about leaving your furry friend behind—Fido is welcome on the eastern portion of the beach and the café's deck, making it a true paradise for both humans and their four-legged companions.

In winter, Carnelian Bay becomes a getaway to a magical wonderland. Just 15 minutes away, Northstar offers access to nearly 100 trails and over 3,000 skiable acres.

Terrible house. Really poorly equipped. Hardly blankets that for on bed. No toilet paper to speak of on arrival. Fireplace didn't work. I could go on but not worth my time. Trying to forget worse Tahoe trip evet

Good location
Excellent location. Extra sleeping spaces (loft) are awkward. Living area configuration is a bit awkward too (sunken area with sofa). Heat does not distribute well through the place (one upstairs room too hot, one too cold). WiFi does not work well all the time. As a result, the place is a bit overpriced for what it offers. We still had a good time there.

Annual family Thanksgiving in Tahoe
We enjoyed Jeff's house immensely. Great neighborhood, good hiking trails. House is laid out just right. Good size kitchen. Perfect for our family of 7. Could use a bigger TV screen

Exceeded expectations
This place was a great Tahoe cabin. It was clean and functional and had a huge garage which was great for our group because we had a ton of mountain bikes. The toilets reminded us of the toilets you'd see at a preschool... they were tiny! Also the bathrooms were carpeted which is a little gross. Overall though the place was nicer than we thought it would be.
