About this property

Driftwood: 2 BR, 1.5 BA Townhouse in Carnelian Bay, Sleeps 5

• Bedroom 1: King Bed
• Bedroom 2 (Loft): King Bed plus Twin Bed

Get ready to enjoy all the comforts of home in this recently updated one bedroom plus loft townhome with room to sleep five guests. Located in the Carnelian Woods complex in Carnelian Bay—make yourself at home in the vacation spot near everything!

Plenty of natural light, knotty-pine ceilings, and gleaming hardwood floors add to Driftwood’s ambiance. Put your feet up and relax on the comfortable sofa while you watch TV by the cozy river rock fireplace. Wi-Fi keeps you connected. Or go outside and take in the forest views.

The well-equipped kitchen with stainless-steel appliances is open to the living room, with plenty of counter space and seating for five at the granite breakfast bar. Everything you need to prepare a hearty breakfast, a quick snack, or a home-cooked dinner can be found here and the dishwasher makes clean up a snap.

BBQ - Not Available - New County Regulation

The main bedroom on the entry level has a king-size, custom log bed and large flat panel TV. Unwind in the walk-in shower in the adjacent bathroom—with Travertine tile, granite countertops, and more.

You can pack light, Driftwood has a washer and dryer for your convenience.

Head upstairs to the loft bedroom and stretch out on the second king bed. There is also a twin bed—perfect for multigenerational family stays. The half-bath is located on this level as well.

The grounds outside feature lovely landscaping, and there is so much to do, you'll have a hard time deciding: a game of tennis, swimming in the seasonal pool, soaking in the hot tub, playing billiards at the clubhouse, taking on the parcourse, or hiking and biking on the trails right at Carnelian Woods.

This unit is one of the closest to the lake and your home away from home is in Carnelian Bay, where all north Lake Tahoe is right at your doorstep! Stroll down to Magic Carpet mini golf or check out Waterman’s Landing, located at Patton Landing Beach, a 3-acre, pebbly beach known for stand-up paddling.

To experience Lake Tahoe gambling and nightlife, Incline Village and Nevada's historic casino Crystal Bay are a short drive away, just across the state line.

Closer to home, you'll find superb dining options right in town like Gar Woods Grill and Pier for steaks and fish, the Old Post Office Coffee Shop for hearty breakfasts, and CB's Pizza for hand-tossed pies and beer.

You're only 10-12 miles from three great ski resorts—Northstar, Alpine Meadows, and Squaw Valley. Whether you prefer to downhill or cross-country ski, snowboard, snowshoe, or go sledding or ice skating, North Tahoe is the place for every winter activity.

At Squaw Valley, after conquering the slopes, go tubing with the kids or try out the mini snowmobiles at SnoVentures Activity Zone. There are dogsledding tours too!

Year round, the Village at Squaw Valley offers dining, shopping, the Squaw Valley Aerial Tram, and a variety of activities.

In the summer, ride the Aerial Tram to High Camp then choose a scenic trail and walk or hike in one of the most breathtaking places in the world! At 8,200 feet elevation, admire the beauty of the Sierra Nevada Mountains with views of Lake Tahoe and Squaw Valley's legendary granite peaks. In the Aerial Tram building lobby, kids and grownups can have a blast climbing the variety of routes on the 30’ simulated Headwall Climbing Wall. If you dare, learn how to do a front or back somersault at Skyjump; all ages are welcome.

NOTE: Carnelian Woods Amenities: Hot Tubs are Typically open daily in summer and winter, Saturdays only in spring and fall. Pool and Tennis open summer only. Amenity access never guaranteed. Please check website for availability: carnelianwoodsorg

Perfect for our family of 4
Very clean and had everything we needed. Our kids loved having their own area in the loft, and the surrounding outdoor area was perfect for snow play.

Comfortable and clean
The kitchen was very well equipped! Besides bed that is where I spent most of my time after getting back from the mountain. Bed was comfortable. The biggest issue is the hot water tank depleted very quickly. 5 min of hot shower and the temperature drops quickly after that. If you had a family all needing a shower they would need to space their showers out. Other than that it was a nice place. I would also point out that it is not as close to the lake as it seemed like it would be. Its a good 1/4 mi walk and across the street to lakefront. Evenstill i would stay here again. It was the best price available for the amenities i could find.

Cozy townhouse
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cozy setting as indicated in pictures. Kitchen is well stocked. Plenty of extra blankets & pillows. One thing to be aware of is the uphill walk from parking lot is rough and uneven and could be an issue for those with mobility problems. We enjoyed our stay and it was just minutes from the wedding we were attending.

Great condo.. great location!!!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of 4 had a great time at this condo. It is in a great location... close to the lake and local activities but far enough from the traffic and busy areas of the lake. Everything was great for our stay... just lost 1 star for a lumpy mattress, but other than that... we had a great stay here.
