Description

Get ready to enjoy all the comforts of home in this recently updated one bedroom plus loft townhome with room to sleep four 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. 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

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!!!

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.

Loved our stay!

I was in town for a 100 mile trail race and needed somewhere for me and my support crew to stay before, during and after the race. In total there were five adults. The location was good for what I needed - only about twenty minutes to the main access point (Diamond Peak) and cheaper than Incline Village. The lake was a very close walk! And I hear the hot tubs were great. Sadly, they close the hot tubs on Sunday and Monday so I wasn’t able to enjoy them post race - one reason I was excited to stay here, so be aware of that if that’s what you’re looking for. The place itself was quite nice. The second bedroom is actually a spacious upstairs loft with a queen bed for two and a smaller twin/full size bed. The downstairs bedroom is private with a very cozy king bed. We all went to bed around noon the same time so the second bedroom behind an open loft wasn’t really an issue. It was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. All in all I would recommend it!

I’m so happy we picked this Condo for our week stay at Lake Tahoe. We were 10 minutes walking distance to the lake. The Condo was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was well equipped with quality appliances, dishes, pots & pans and all the utensils needed to cook meals throughout the day. The Weber gas grill was great for cooking out . The loft was roomy enough for our 2 young adult boys to sleep and the Master bedroom had a very comfortable bed. There was a variety of entertainment on the tv with several streaming channels with live network channels. We had access to the large well maintained community pool and a pair of hot tubs plus a game room, ping pong, pool table and tennis courts. Also, I was very happy we stayed on the North Shore. It was very laid back with plenty of family activities not to mention the night sky where you can see the Milky Way with the naked eye. I strongly recommend this unit for a Couple or Family of 4.

Our first trip to Lake Tahoe was a success!

Although the condo was a bit smaller and darker than I'd expected, it certainly is very comfortable and well appointed. We all slept very well on the two king beds, and the kitchen had more tools and dishware than we'd expected - updated appliances helped us to prepare our own meals. We did have one issue with the stovetop, which I think still needs to be repaired, but I was able to get in touch with an on-call service rep pretty quickly. Overall we had a very restful experience here! Good quality location.

Our stay was quite enjoyable here. Close to Lake Tahoe, convenience store, and a few restaurants. Nice little trail right out back. The only thing that was disappointing was there was no firewood for the fireplace. I have a ton of wood at home that I would have brought had I known, but normally a rental with a fireplace provides wood. This was really disappointing to us. We ended up buying some low quality wood at the hardware store.

As you arrive to the Property you made reservations for you can only wonder if you made the right decision for your family, but as soon as you go inside you realize you definitely made a good choice we would definitely recommend this rental. For our future return visits we would check here first, everything your looking for is within a few minutes drive. It was nice to have a clean and peaceful place to stay.

The house was beautiful, all super comfortable, clean and cozy.
It is very well located to go skiing to the best ski centers in the area.
The only bad thing was it was very difficult to find the entrance from the route. Surely it was so much snow.

First of all, thank you very much for the support when we were getting there. We did a mistake not attempting for the keys of place and we were very well assisted by the owner of location.
Staying in a such beautiful place is always a pleasant experience. We stayed with the whole family for skiing at Squaw and were very much enjoyable.
We look forward to visit again Lake Tahoe, maybe, on summer or spring.

Again thank you very much for helping us having a such nice experience at Lake Tahoe.

property management was very easy to work with and was very responsive. from date of booking through phone call for early check-in, communication was excellent. property is located between Tahoe city and Kings beach. ideal location because we were staying for local ski resorts and proximity to stores and restaurants. All were at the farthest 30 minutes away. Property was well appointed. Other than groceries, there was nothing missing or needed. We were surprised to find the unit also had a stacked washer/dryer which came in very handy.

The home was in perfect condition, the pictures are very accurate. We traveled as a family of four adults and the home was a perfect size for us. Two king sized beds were a great feature compared to many rentals we've stayed in with queen or full sized beds. There were also plenty of extra blankets and pillows to use if needed. The main bedroom does not have a ceiling fan, but there was a medium oscillating fan in the closet that we used, which was really nice. There is a ceiling fan for the loft area.

A really nice touch was individual size boxes of detergent for use with the washing machine, as well as new and wrapped bars of hand soap and a new small bottle of dish soap. Nice touches you would find in good hotels.

This was our third time visiting Tahoe in the last four years, and the first staying in Carnelian Bay. It was much quieter than South Lake Tahoe, which we liked and close to Tahoe City, Truckee, Tahoe Vista and Sand Harbor, which we spent a lot of our time in. If you plan to spend a lot of time in South Lake Tahoe, or near Heavenly, there can be quite a bit of driving. Either way you go around the lake is at least a 45 minute drive one way. We encountered road construction on both sides of the lake during our visit as well.

Overall we loved this home and highly recommend it.

Great location-close to many restaurants and beaches. Slept like a baby on the king bed. We found the unit to be cold in the living room. As soon as we turned down the heat, we could feel the cold air coming up through the floors just in the living room. The bedroom was carpeted so it was nice and toasty. I would rent this again, but only in the summer.

Our family has discovered the Carnelian Woods HOA, and the various rentals. Perfect for summertime, and wintertime fun. The Driftwood unit is perfect for families wanting to enjoy onsite summertime amenities, such as the pool and hot tub (no outside food/drinks/alcohol apparently), tennis courts (closed due to resurfacing), and other common area features. The units common area living area is comfortable and as pictured. Kitchen is remodeled, but with minimal additional touches, such as spare Tupperware/food storage, foil, plastic wrap, and pantry items. Not a deal breaker, but other rental units have had more equipped kitchens. No Smart TV onsite, which is a nice touch to have, so guests can enjoy their subscription based apps when winding down for the evening. The upstairs loft is spacious, and includes a toilet and sink. It would be a nice touch to install a sheetrock wall, and enclose the loft, and turn it into a bedroom. This would allow guests who are in the living area, to continue on with their evenings, without additional noise disruption. The Weber grill is hooked up to natural gas, and works well. The unit does not include a handbook for guests to review policies and best practices. Other units have typically included such. This unit 15 and is located between adjacent units, although the upstairs windows allow additional light in the living area, which is nice. In order to increase airflow on the summer days, a couple of box fans would be a great addition. If you are a light sleeper the ceiling fan in the loft, is out of balance and makes noise. Finally there is no dining table, but the countertop is spacious and well appointed. If the owner continued to accept feedback and improve on the unit, it would continue to be a choice when we want a 1 room and 1 loft option at Carnelian Woods.

We really liked condo. It was clean, well supplied & comfortable. The location was perfect for getting around the lake.
There were only a few issues. Despite hearing gas come out for the fireplace it wouldn't light & neither would the grill. I had to cook out steaks on a skillet. I'm glad there was one there.
We did got to the club house & use the hot tub. Very nice.
It was a good idea to leave the keys in the lock box whenever we went out. Always assured us that we could a least get back in.

After a very tiring road trip, it was wonderful to arrive at Driftwood to find a warm and inviting place. We loved how there were so many lovely facilities like a full kitchen with all new appliances, strong hot shower, even large log beds which completed that feel of a cosy log cabin. We felt very comfortable. The ability to light a fire and enjoy that whilst looking out to a beautiful snowy landscape too was lovely. We would definitely come back again.

The property is clean and the location is great. However, there are several things making a negative impact.

First, the lights over the living + dinning area do not work. The only light source is then from the kitchen ...

Then, thought there are two new big flat screen TVs in the unit, neither the cable for DVD player works. Not sure what the TV is for ...

Lastly, even though the community has a spa area, given it is cold in a winter night, considerable walking distance, and no sign/direction to the area in the community, it is not easy to use the spa facility if you can even find it.

Bathrooms are modern and clean. Plenty of bedding to keep warm as well. The loft was amazing as well. The hot tubs were super clean, but only downside was that it closed pretty early at 8:45 pm. Would definitely rent again!

We stayed here in 2015 and it appears the appliances and the downstairs bathroom have all been redone. Everything worked well with the exception of the bbq was out of propane, the upstairs bathroom toilet runs loudly, and the dvd player did not work. Beds were comfy (aside from the one twin upstairs) and unit is very quiet even though it is one of those closer to the main road which we chose on purpose to haul our kayak across the street easier. Unit seemed very clean including the light colored carpeting. Would definately stay here again.

Property was very clean and well kept. Great location if the north shore is your destination. We plan to stay here next year.

We had an absolute blast! There was more than enough space for our family, we found lots of cozy blankets when the evenings got chilling and the location was so much better than other places we have rented.

Nice place

It was a good place; clean, cozy. Maintenance/service was on point. I never interacted with anyone personally, but the reservation process was smooth and the condo was ready and waiting for our arrival.

The townhouse is very clean and neat. You can not help but relax while you're there. We are going to book this property again for next year!

Enjoyed our long weekend stay at Driftwood. Condo was clean and comfortable and the hot tub was fantastic! Only issues were that there is no cell reception and the wifi did not work for most of our stay. While the bathrooms are newly renovated and lovely, the kitchen could use a upgrade as well.

Outstanding location in Carnelian Bay. Unit in perfect shape and clean. Very comfortable.

Two suggestions: 1. A floor lamp or two are needed in the living room for reading. 2. An operational DVD player would be nice.

Wonderful stay. Will stay at this unit again in the future.

Beautiful condo, new appliances, very clean and bright. We could not get TV to work but to busy to watch anyway. We highly recommend this condo.
