Summer family vacation
We have stayed in many Carnelian Woods condos. While we enjoyed the size of this rental, the screens on the windows need fixing, there are big gaps in most of them. There is no A/C or fan in the main room, so the loft gets very hot for kids. Because the screens are broken they also got bitten by mosquitoes.

What a great condo to stay in to escape the valley heat! The condo was roomy for my family of 4; and had very comfortable beds and couches! We enjoyed the forest view from the balcony! Looking forward to our next stay!

Did the job
Overall, it was a great location and nice home to spend a short vacation in. 20 minute drive to both North Star and the Palisades. We were VERY bummed that the hot tub was barely open and the hours were limited. If you want a hot tub don't stay here. That was a MUST for my group and I wouldn't have booked this place had I known. Hours were Noon-8:45pm and once we arrived management said it was only open Friday and Saturday. We went there on Saturday and were informed that they would be closing early by the guy running the office. Definitely a bummer.

Clean, Quite And Close To The Action
We enjoyed our stay! The property is located close to the lake in a quite townhome community. It’s within walking or short drive to restaurants, the lake and ski resorts. The accommodations are a bit more basic, but clean and comfortable. Would suggest replacing the broken sliding glass door shades. Only warning is beware of the $500 security deposit. It was almost as much as our two night stay and it took 10 days to have it refunded. It seems that once the cleaning crew cleans after our stay and a new renter goes in (possibly same day), the rental company should initiate the return. Not sure why it had to take so long.

The condo was clean and generally in good condition, but the bed sheets were awful! One set in particular were a polyester gauzey material. I've never seen anything like it before and hope not to ever again! The kitchen equipment was also somewhat lacking - for example, the can opener was not capable of opening a can... <br/>Was the vacation rental management staff helpful? My only contact with the rental management was via e-mail prior to my arrival. The information provided was complete and there were no problems with arrival or departure.

Not Good Value for the Money
This unit has pros and cons.<br/><br/>The pros - The TV was awesome, but I wish they had put it above the fireplace since it blocks the view to the outside. The couches were very comfy and the master bedroom was great with a comfortable mattress. Our daughters really liked the loft area. The bunk beds were fun.<br/><br/>The cons - The unit is in serious need of some upgrades. The carpet is very old and needs to be replaced or at minimum could us a good cleaning. The kitchen is VERY old, quirky and has the bare minimum. We managed, but would not want to do any kind of serious cooking there. The counter space is very limited due to the built in butcher block cutting board. We rewashed many of the pots before using them. There was a very strong unpleasant odor in the unit. We immediately bought a scented candle to try to mask the smell. The bathrooms were very dated with very low shower heads. I am 5'6" and the water came at my chest. It was really challenging for my 6'5" husband. The bath towels were very cheep and rough. We had issues with the hot water that required attention and the blinds (both upstairs and downstairs) were not working properly. <br/><br/>The management was very good at responding to our requests and easy to work with, but overall, this unit was disappointing. We did a lot of research to find a good place since we were staying for 6 days. For the price we paid, we thought it would be much nicer. We have stayed in many condos in Tahoe, some much less expensive and in better condition.

Great location
We loved the location which is a short walk to the lake. Kings Beach, Tahoe City & a great park were a short drive away. Just a heads up that the unit doesn't have A/C. We didn't realize that when we booked but even staying in August we did not need it as the condo stayed cool. The condo is nice but it seemed a little dark. We thought the bunk beds in the loft would be great for our kids but once we saw them we chose not to. The top bunks do not have any side rails and the one bunk bed is literally next to the loft railing. If you have a restless sleeper this could easily become a horrific scene. Towels provided were pretty cheap & thin but served their purpose. Would recommend if you are looking for a convenient and generally comfy place. Just don't expect high end amenities.

Beware if you are coming with children. The bunk beds have no railings and are really shaky. We did not feel we could safely use the top bunks. We carried the mattress down from one and put it on the floor. And we stuck the fourth child in bed with the parents. Also, the bunks are lofted so they are wide open to the communal area. If adults plan to stay up after putting kids down, forget about it. Too much noise. The kitchen is minimally equipped and the whole place is just ok.

Not worth the price!
This 3 story condo was not at all kid/toddler friendly or handicap accessible. The layout, which is not mentioned in the description, is 2 bedrooms on the entry level, kitchen and living on the second floor and an open loft on the third floor. The railings in the loft were far enough apart that my daughter could fit her body through. The child gate provided does not secure in any way and there is only one for two sets of stairs. The back right burner of the stove didn’t work. The handle on the coffee pot fell off while pouring hot coffee and spilled the entire hot pot. TV didn’t work with reception. Internet was in and out. Bathroom doors didn’t lock. Not enough comfortable seating for 8 guests. We had to take turns sitting on the couch or kitchen chairs/floor. Everything was very old and used. Noise traveled throughout the entire house. Minimal kitchen. Showers inexplicably turned ice cold mid shower. It’s a good enough place to sleep and that’s about it. Would not recommend this condo in the winter if you want to cozy up inside. Over priced and underwhelmed!

Love Tahoe vacations and getaways, decent condo layout for family/friends but lousy kitchen and rec center staff.

A decent stay, close to the lake and only 20 mins from Alpine
This was a duplex + loft and a good amount of space for 5 to 7 people. The place was nice, well done up and bathrooms were clean. The check-in process was easy and it was really close to the lake and to a few ski resorts which was great. The hot tubs looked great and well maintained but they are an inconvenient distance away from most the houses, so nobody seemed to use them. The kitchen had some of the basics but was not well stocked, no coffee tea or anything. Overall a pleasant stay, but there were a few cons that need to be addressed by the management:<br/>- Both the bathrooms had locks, but they didn't work.<br/>- For checking out, the instructions in the house mentioned to leave the house keys and parking passes at the recreation center, however I was later told that the house keys needed to be left in the lock box at the house itself.<br/>- The recreation center had a few games, but only a few worked, the pool table was out of order and the guy at the desk told us not to play air hockey because it was too loud. What?<br/>- When we were leaving to check out, we opened the front door only to find someone had packed a 6 foot pile of snow at the front door. It took us a while to kick through it and were freezing having to deal with it! Not sure if this was just a prank by some neighbours or if the owners were disliked by someone around but this was a little unsettling to deal with at the end of a vacation. I have mentioned this to the management and hope for a response to this soon.

Overall the unit was great. All basic needs are available, from the kitchen to the indicated linen and bathroom basic. Very good location. Restaurants near by n rental for water activity. The lodge was also great especially when we were there,it was raining.

Excellent location, management promptly answered all the issues we had, the pool is clean. We were 4 adults and five children, everything was good for our group. The description on site is accurate.

Great spot that slept at least eight, close to the lake, and quite neighborhood. A little dark and would be great to see more lights, but all in all a great Tahoe cabin!

Clean, good decoration

The place was clean and quaint. The only issue for me was the late check in time and the early check out time made the stay shorter than I would have preferred.

Did you have a good overall stay? Yes <br/>Was the vacation rental in a great location? Yes. <br/>Was the home clean and in good shape? The condo was clean and generally in good condition, but the bed sheets were awful! One set in particular were a polyester gauzey material. I've never seen anything like it before and hope not to ever again! The kitchen equipment was also somewhat lacking - for example, the can opener was not capable of opening a can... <br/>Was the vacation rental management staff helpful? My only contact with the rental management was via e-mail prior to my arrival. The information provided was complete and there were no problems with arrival or departure. The keyless entry was convenient since we arrive late on the first night.

The condo was pretty clean in general. Didn't like the bedsheets and covers, they were outdated and old. The bathroom was a little outdated as well. But over all it was an good stay.

Great layout for 2 families of 4. The kitchen was missing some basics- i.e., the number of forks and spoons were sparse for 8 people- I don't think there were even 8 forks. Also, no spatula? It's hard to make pancakes without one, I'll tell ya! Also, only one garbage bag was provided, when we would have liked to change out the garbage mid-stay. Bed linens were a little cheap and rough. Other than that, it accommodated all 8 of us very well and had what we needed. Thanks!

The bathrubs had some hair in them, so they could have been cleaner. Otherwise, very clean. Only suggestion is to have better shower heads/water pressure. Downstairs shower had very little pressure. Maybe upgrade to handheld to make it easier to clean and ensure they get the showers clean.

Slight draw backs...they could use more silverware, utensils, and pans. Also, there was a strange smell all week in the downstairs bathroom, and the neighbors had complained about seeing mice. We didn't see any evidence, but heard one getting into things one night.

Would like to have more items in kitchen, blender, more serving bowls, pitchers. Surprised there was no option for recycling, would love to see that as an option.

A little tight for eight people. Bring you own pan to cook with there is only 1 6" frying pan and zero spatula's. Proceedures for check-out are a little cumbersom. Don't get me wrong we enjoied our stay just needed to get over a few chalenges.
