The unit was everything as advertised. We would stay there again. The only thing we did not like is that the community clubhouse and pool are closed on Sunday, which we did not know.

Although Carnelian Woods is a wonderful place to stay, this unit was not up to the pictures we saw. Still, any day in Tahoe is a great day.

Great Location
Super location, short walk to the lake. Enjoyed the pool. There is no BBQ for guests to use at the lodge and the home has no BBQ - so don’t plan on that. No spices or anything of that nature, must buy or bring. Very nice condo - would have no problem returning

This place was between very touristy spots so the beach and resaurants were easy to get spots at and all walkable.
Easy to get to from Reno. Lake water was cold but enjoyable.
I will be back.

Very pretty and cozy hut, with a decent set of reasonably sized bedrooms, and an airy loft. Somewhat excessive use of emails and mandatory replies during the booking process, but well organized and easy to find your way to/around in.

The recreation building only opens the hot tub 2 days a week ( weekends) . We were then mostly mid week and the hot tub was not available. On the Sunday they would not let us use the tub as there were already too many people using it. As a result on of the main reasons I chose this location did not really have the feature I felt I paid a premium for to have. As a result I would not stay here again

Parking lot was full one of the nights, which wasn’t ideal - only flaw.

The property was great for our family of 7. Walking distance to the lake. The community pool and center were great, but we didn't use it much as we were at the lake most of the time.
I would recommend the property to other families.

The location was great for our family. The Lake, Magic Carpet golf and CB's Bistro were walking distance. Truckee and Tahoe City were only a 20 to 15 minute drive. We enjoyed relaxing, mini-golfing, rafting & Tree top adventures.
Overall we only had two complaints:
1. Mattresses are Too Firm - we all had trouble sleeping on them. A few nights I had to sleep on the couch because my back hurt.
2. Locals were rude and impatient. It almost seemed like they were not use to being a tourist town.
We had a great time overall. The location is central to many things. We are glad we got to visit Lake Tahoe, but we probably won't return.

This was a very nice condo in a convenient and quiet location. The kitchen and bathrooms are mostly updated, although the light fixtures and cabinets look to be original (probably 30+) years old. It met all our needs for my family of four. The place was clean, the beds were good quality, and there were plenty of linens, paper products, etc.

The place was very clean with the exception of the kitchen. I had to wash everything I used before i use it. Not sure what it was, i'm thinking some kind of residual from the dishwasher. Not ok!
The house is very outdated. All the appliances were older. The couch is nice but you can't sit with all the family because those two lovely red chairs are only foe for person and they are not confortable. They need a better coffee table too. Those two things are wobbly and not functional. Overall was ok. I don't think I would stay here again.

Loved almost verything about this rental. Two things we didn’t love but one is out of the owners control. 1. It was very hot and there was not AC (typical of Tahoe) but possibly could have used a couple of more fans, especially for the loft. The fact they had a couple of fans stored was awesome. 2. The mattresses were very very firm, but firm is MUCH better than old and saggy.Otherwise it was great! Super super clean, the BEST supply of bath towels of any rental I’ve stayed in (plenty for the capacity of 8).Everything was easy to use and in great condition! Would definitely recommend.

Overall a great experience. I was hesitant booking with First Accommodations due to some poor google reviews, but dealing with them changed my mind. Very professional and very responsive.
Location of this property could not be better - walk to the lake, park, pool, stores...just great.
Cannot however give 5 stars and say property was spotless, due to dusty furniture in one of the bedrooms and a huge piece of marble countertop we noticed under the bed? Made me question how well the cleaning crew had actually cleaned the carpets and furniture during COVID.
Again, management was great and location was awesome. WE really did enjoy our stay.
