Bear Cabin: Walk to Lake! Porch views, updated, cozy, dog, cook at home!

Your home away from home in Carnelian Bay with 3 bedrooms. Located between Tahoe City and Kings beach. Easy access to Northstar, Palisades and Alpine ski resorts. Walking distance to the lake. Easy access to the Truckee River. This gorgeous cabin features a king, queen, and full bed, plus an office with a comfy sofa bed for kids. Cute linens. Two nice bathrooms include refreshing showers and handy hair dryers. Bathrooms include Bath & Body works bath products. Kitchen is stocked with plenty of cooking needs provided. Stay cozy with heating throughout the space. Fireplace is available to use. Whether you’re working or relaxing, the office area offers a quiet spot to unwind. Guests love the excellent layout that balances comfort and functionality. Enjoy all that Carnelian Bay has to offer when you stay at our place. Family cabin where we have enjoyed many vacations. Our one Ring camera on the porch helps protect our home from bears! Our bear theme is throughout with many people making a challenge to try to count how many bears there are! (No one knows for sure!) If you’re lucky, you might see an actual bear too. Just be sure to keep the bear coils up and the two trash locks closed to keep bears out. The deck was just remodeled with brand new flooring and extra stability posts.

Booked cabin for weekend getaway with the family. Cabin was clean and had everything you needed. There were plenty of room for all of us. The deck was beautiful and we enjoyed just hanging out there. There is no lake view, not the owner's fault, if you were wondering, as I was. The lake, Safeway, and other restaurants are about a 10 min drive from the cabin. Lisa's communication is top tier and she responds very quickly. Area is calm, quiet, and peaceful. I would definitely book the cabin again.
