The Carnelian Bay Basecamp is perfect for families and groups who are looking for a spacious, functional home in a perfect location.

Please note that the stair balusters have been repaired in June of 2026 to conform to current building codes - the gap is now less than 4 inches.

The location is ideal. The home is on a quiet, sunny, relatively flat street with little thru traffic providing easy access in winter. Just two blocks from the home is a trailhead to Tahoe National Forest / Tahoe Conservancy land offering access to miles of mountain biking and hiking trails including the Tahoe Rim Trail with breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe. The lakeshore is a short half-mile walk offering locals' favorite restaurants, the famous Garwoods restaurant and bar and two public beaches.
