About this house rental
A truly exceptional lake view vacation home, Gray Bear Estate is designed to deliver the ultimate vacation experience. The open concept living area sits upstairs, with the expansive Chef's kitchen at the heart of the home. Outfitted with an eight burner Wolf range, butcher block island, mahogany bar seating four, and formal dining area for eight, we expect many evenings to be spent enjoying a home cooked meal. Adjacent, a cozy seating area surrounds a rock wall with gas log fireplace, large wall mounted flat screen, and views of Lake Tahoe beyond. Escape to the downstairs copper topped bar with seating for four, air hockey table, flat screen TV, and gas fireplace. Upstairs from the main living area, the spacious Primary bedroom feels like your own private sanctuary within the Estate. A King bed faces floor to ceiling windows revealing tree filtered lake views. A gas fireplace, flat screen television, and large walk-in closet make the space especially comfortable. The ensuite bath includes a jetted tub, shower, separate water closet and designated make-up vanity. A second King guest suite complete with a new flat screen TV and ensuite bath is located on this floor as well. The third and fourth Primary style suites are located on the home's lower level, both with King beds, fireplaces, televisions, and ensuite bathrooms of their own. Also on this floor, the bunk room is perfect for the younger travelers, and has its own bathroom with tub. Looking for a quiet retreat to get some work done? A built in office nook sits off the kitchen. And the fun doesn't end indoors! Off of the main living area, a built-in gas grill and bar serve as an "outdoor kitchen". During the summer months, take advantage of the picturesque view from the expansive deck, with patio dining and oversized lounge furniture. Follow the short steps down to the secluded public beach below. And year round, end your day with a relaxing soak in the hot tub, located on the lower level deck.

Originally named after its colorful shoreline, this lakeside town has become a beloved spot for dog lovers, kayakers, paddleboarding enthusiasts, and sunset seekers. Situated between Tahoe City and Kings Beach, Carnelian Bay invites you to relax and soak in its laid-back atmosphere. Immerse yourself in the enchanting waters of Lake Tahoe, where Carnelian Bay reigns as a paradise for paddleboarding. And when it's time to unwind, treat yourself to a signature "Wet Woody" on the expansive deck of Gar Woods Grill & Pier. At Patton Landing, a three-acre pebbly beach, relaxation and leisure await. Waterman's Landing tempts you with its gourmet coffee house and full-service café, ensuring your cravings are satisfied. The beach provides a free "car top" boat launch, making it easy for you to embark on aquatic adventures. Plus, don't worry about leaving your furry friend behind—Fido is welcome on the eastern portion of the beach and the café's deck, making it a true paradise for both humans and their four-legged companions. In winter, Carnelian Bay becomes a getaway to a magical wonderland. Just 15 minutes away, Northstar offers access to nearly 100 trails and over 3,000 skiable acres.

The home was clean and comfortable for my large family. It was convenient to have a full bathroom for each bedroom and the open layout of the kitchen, dining, and living room allowed us to all be together in a common area. It was also in a great location, just a 5 minute stroll to the lake and close to a grocery store. Would love to come back here again!

Booked this property to have family from all over gather for Thanksgiving. The house far exceeded our expectations. The kitchen is amazing and great for a large group. The layout was so great no one bumped into each other while fixing the holiday meal. The living room is great for gathering. Every bedroom functions like a suite with its own bathroom. Location of the home is also wonderful. Close to lots of hiking trails and to grocery shopping. Hope to come back again!

The size of the house was just right for our sibling reunion. The location on a busy street was an unwelcome surprise. The “lake view” was a stretch.
The deck itself was outstanding and we spent a lot of time there.
Little details seemed to be overlooked such as:
dining chairs were very stained (white is tough for rentals) and “clean dishes” were not clean.
When we arrived the garbage bin was full making it hard to add anything throughout the week.
The front door sticks and must be pushed hard to open. The garage keypad didn’t work (battery?).
The main room fireplace had paper towels and rocks stuffed in the igniter hole —- very strange.
Considering the high price of the VRBO - the place needs some attention to the little things which make a difference during a visit.

The house is beautiful and just as described in the listing. We had a fabulous and memorable week in Tahoe. The house has every creature comfort you can think of, and we spent many days just hanging out at the home because it was so comfortable!

Can't say enough good things about the Gray Bear estate, we loved it. Humongous kitchen and common area and big bedrooms with TVs and fireplaces in each. Big deck with views of the lake and a great grill and outdoor bar set up. We'll definitely be returning!
4.0
A large house with plenty of room. Has everything you need for a great time. The gourmet kitchen was very impressive but does need new pots and pans. The house is close to the highway so you do have road noise, mainly in the front bedrooms.

We could not have enjoyed our stay more - the pictures don't do this property justice! It is absolutely beautiful and easily fit 10 people, with plenty of room to spare. Would highly recommend staying at this property!

We spent 10 days over Christmas 2022 and had a wonderful experience. The home was just as advertised! The kitchen was fully equipped for large group cooking. The 3 king bedrooms with bathrooms were very nice. The bunkroom was a little tight but OK for young kids. The primary bedroom was very large and spacious. We had plenty of extra linens and bedding if needed. The management company was very responsive before and during the rental. We only had a couple of small issues which were resolved quickly.

The entire process was easy. The rental agency was very communicative and there were no surprises!

The home is stunning and we were there with my parents, 3 adult sons and spouses for one son's wedding, down the street.
Plenty of space for cooking and visiting, and great bedrooms for when you need space to yourself. We hope to return here someday as every one of us loved the house and the ease of arrival.

My family and I stayed at the Gray Bear Estate to welcome the New Year. While we lost 2 days because of the post-snowstorm road closures, we were delighted to have this home away from home as soon as we arrived. The home had a nice open floor plan on the main floor that allowed for everyone to be together even if some were cooking, another watching TV and/or others seated at dining. We also really enjoyed the outdoor space even though (overtime because) it was buried under a few feet of snow. Rooms were comfortable and bathrooms well appointed. We also appreciated having 2 sets of washer and dryers. Kitchen had basically everything we needed and it was so convenient to have grocery stores only 10 mins away in both directions. The driveway was a little difficult to navigate having 2 large SUVs and it took some time for us to figure out which light switch controlled what. At the end of the day, we would love to stay here again. Highly recommended!

This home is lovely. It's one back from the lake so you are VERY close to the water. The kitchen is terrific, and the beds all comfortable. The huge outside deck was a big plus too. What made this an especially easy and pleasant experience was the very wonderful customer service. All questions cheerfully answered, always able to reach.

This house was amazing and we enjoyed our time there. The only complaint that we have is that the house could of been cleaned better, the balcony was dirty and there were tons of spider webs throughout the house. We would stay here again.

Very comfortable house with plenty of room and facilities. It would be great to have access to the golf simulator. This is a definite repeat visit for our family!

Kitchen is a chefs dream! Upper deck is huge with multiple seating areas and an outdoor grill under a roof! Dining room and living room very open to the kitchen. Separate bar area with another patio downstairs. Rooms separate from entertaining area. Bathrooms galore! Beds super comfortable. Only downside is no A/C for summer visits, and cobwebs were everywhere. Location was great too, just a block away from beach access!

This house had everything we needed and more. Loved the bunk bed room. We had 5 children and they loved the room. 4 MBRs what more can you say. The kitchen and the porch were amazing.

Beautiful house near the lake
We really enjoyed this property - it was beautifully appointed and we enjoyed the deck. We were able to access the beach but we did miss not having access to a dock so we could sit out on the lake (the beach is very rocky). I appreciated how responsive the Tahoe Properties management company was to our questions.

Spacious house, great for a large group
The house was really spacious, with lots of different areas to hang out. Our group of 12 felt very comfortable and relaxed. The kitchen was large, multiple people can cook at the same time and great that there are multiple dishwashers.

Very nice property. Enjoyed our stay and time on the balcony. There are a few small things that could be improved. Could have more accurate instructions for garage door key pad and living room fireplace. Found the towels in the clothes washer. Still a great property.

This house was everything we could have hoped for! It was perfect for our large group and we had the best time. Plenty of space and bathrooms for everyone with a full bath in each bedroom. Plus the amenities such as the golf simulator and hot tub were a huge bonus. The kitchen was amazing and we were able to cook multiple meals with ease. Not to mention the place was spotless and everything worked properly. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone!

We stayed at the Gray Bear Estate with our whole family to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday. It was one of our best vacations as a whole family! The home is cozy yet spacious enough that everyone had enough space to spread out. Amenities were on point, everything you need was there and more! My children kept saying “Mom can we please book this cabin every year?” We are sad to leave today but already looking forward to our next visit.

Great Place
Great place for 2 or 3 family's. Plan some great meals to cook together. Amazing kitchen, amazing cabin. Only negative is we couldn't find a way to walk to the beach but I could be wrong. It looked like private property along the water.
