Carnelian Haven
Steps from the shimmering shores of Lake Tahoe and backed by a serene national forest, this newly remodeled seven-bedroom retreat in Carnelian Bay delivers the ultimate year-round escape. With sleek new finishes, designer furnishings, and thoughtful touches throughout, the home offers a rare blend of luxury and comfort—perfect for groups gathering to reconnect, relax, and explore. A bright, open-concept main level features a fully updated kitchen with a spacious island, a chic dining area, and a cozy living room anchored by a 65” Smart TV and an ambient electric fireplace. Each of the seven bedrooms is a private haven, outfitted with plush king-size beds, individual heating and cooling units, and generous storage space—ideal for larger groups needing both comfort and privacy. Glimpses of the lake peek through the treetops from oversized windows, flooding the home with natural light. After days spent skiing nearby resorts, paddleboarding across Tahoe’s crystal-clear waters, or hiking the forest trails just behind the home, guests can unwind in elevated style. With two full laundry stations, abundant gear storage, and inviting indoor-outdoor spaces, this home was made for effortless group getaways in every season.
