Beautiful home!
The house was exactly how it was listed. It was very well kept, beautiful and clean. It was also in a nice neighborhood and great location near everything we were looking to do well we were there. Thank you for allowing my family and I to stay there. This is our 2nd time in Tahoe and will definitely be back again soon!

We’ve been coming to Lake Tahoe for over 60 years, and staying at Carolyn and Dave’s Carnelian Bay Retreat truly made this year’s trip remarkable. The home felt warm and welcoming as soon as we walked in—spotlessly clean, thoughtfully furnished, and the perfect haven that let us relax and reconnect. It provided a wonderful base for exploring every corner of the lake, from serene shoreline mornings to mountain adventures in the afternoon.For our family, Tahoe is more than just a pretty place; it’s where our story and traditions continue, and having both my parents and my aunt rest here makes our time at the lake even more meaningful. Every visit for us is a chance to honor them and keep our family’s legacy alive, creating new memories with our families along the way.Carnelian Bay Retreat was everything we hoped for: comfortable, well-equipped, and full of little touches that made it feel like a true home away from home. We feel grateful for a space that supported both reflection and joy, helping us weave another special chapter into our family’s Tahoe journey. We’ll absolutely be back, this is a five-star home in every sense.

Amazing stay! Super family friendly
We had a great time. The house is on a quiet cul de sac where we could all play and enjoy the nature. Lots of stuff to do within 10-15 minutes and the house was very clean, lots of bedrooms and fun for all!

What a fantastic place to stay at!
We had a great time at Dave's family cabin. Everything was top-notch. The place was easy to find, very well located, _very_ clean, very comfortable and fitted with quality everyday items like soaps and well-performing appliances. The sunken pit was a delight for our 3 and 7 year old girls. The antique pool table made the stay very special for adults and the game closet was outstanding: Stratego and RISK anyone ? The beds were very comfortable and the thermostat easy to maneuver. We were a 7-people family from 3 to 77 years old and every single person had a great time. Dave was very quick while messaging and did everything to accommodate our requests. We'll definitely be back! Thanks Dave!!
