Nestled amid the pines of Carnelian Bay, this rustic retreat is the perfect base for a family trip to Lake Tahoe. Perfectly positioned between Tahoe City and Kings Beach, staying here puts you close to trailheads and just minutes from ski resorts, making this an excellent choice for skiing, biking, and hiking. After days spent outside, it’s a delight to return to this A-frame cabin to relax in the hot tub while stargazing. Even when you’re inside, you can admire the scenery thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows – it’s a dreamy setting.

Local guide


About Carnelian Bay

On the border of California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe is one of the largest bodies of water in the US. As you'd expect, it's an area of astounding beauty, but the lake has also made a name for itself as a centre for both winter sports and water sports, as well as hiking and cycling. The north shore is a bit quieter and more relaxed than the south. While there's still plenty to do (including the annual food and wine festival), you're unlikely to see crowds like you do in other parts of the region.
