Take a stunning woodland location near Carnelian Bay and add a modern, architect-designed lodge with cathedral-like ceilings, window walls and a luxury finish. But that's just part of the attraction of this beautiful home. Designed to make the most of indoor-outdoor living, there's a wraparound deck, hot tub, games room, cinema room and a wet bar. Aimed at longer stays, you'll feel right at home in the double-height living room, with its log burner, cosy velvet sofas and mix of wood shades. A sociable kitchen with a breakfast bar seating five is well-stocked with everything you'll need to cook at home, and there are big dining tables both indoors and out. Each bedroom is unique, with stylish furnishings and comfortable beds, and we love the chic bathrooms throughout. Nearby you can head to Carnelian West Beach to enjoy the water in summer, or to the Northstar Ski Resort for some winter sports – and it's just a twenty-minute drive to historic Truckee.

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.
