Guests will also find high-speed WiFi, board games, and a smart TV. Please note that the home does not have cable.
Kitchen and Dining
The kitchen is fully equipped for relaxed meals at home, whether you’re making breakfast before a ski day, cooking a family dinner, or settling in for a longer fall stay.
Amenities include a refrigerator, freezer, oven, stove, microwave, dishwasher, drip coffee maker, mini Keurig, toaster, air fryer, wine glasses, baking sheet, cooking basics, dishes, silverware, and a dining table with seating for 6.
Outdoor Space
The outdoor areas are a major part of the experience. The cabin sits in a peaceful setting surrounded by tall pines, with a flat yard, front and rear decks, and a private hot tub.
In warmer months, guests can enjoy the outdoor dining area, BBQ grill, patio furniture, and beach gear, including four beach chairs, an umbrella, and a soft cooler.
Seasonal note: Patio furniture and the BBQ grill may be stored away from approximately 10/15 to 5/15, depending on weather and snow conditions.
Location
The cabin is located in Agate Bay, a quiet Carnelian Bay neighborhood with nearby access to hiking and biking trails, including routes that connect toward the Tahoe Rim Trail.
You’ll be about one mile from Lake Tahoe and a short drive to Gar Woods, Carnelian Bay Beach, Tahoe Waterman’s Landing, Tahoe City, grocery stores, restaurants, and shops.
Northstar and Palisades Tahoe are typically about 20–30 minutes away, depending on traffic, weather, and road conditions.
This location is especially well suited for fall retreats, Thanksgiving stays, ski weekends, and guests who want a peaceful North Tahoe setting without being far from the lake, town, or the resorts.
Additional Comforts
The home includes a washer and dryer, high-speed WiFi, smart TVs in all bedrooms and the living room, driveway parking for two vehicles, ski and snowboard storage on the front deck, and a starter supply of toilet paper, soap, and paper towels.
Safety features include smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, a first aid kit, fire extinguisher, and electric bear wires.
Good to Know
This is a no-pet, no-smoking property. Smoking, vaping, or bringing pets may result in additional charges.
There is no air conditioning, which is common for Tahoe mountain homes. Fans are provided in the bedroom closets. The upstairs bedrooms can feel cooler than the downstairs during colder winter months, and portable heaters are available in the closets if needed.
Parking is limited to two vehicles in the driveway. Street parking is prohibited year-round.
Exterior Security Cameras
The property has exterior-only security cameras. These include a Ring camera at the entrance, a front camera facing the deck and walkway, and a rear camera facing the deck, hot tub, and shed. Cameras are outdoors only.
Hot Tub and Quiet Hours
The hot tub is serviced between guest stays. Please respect Placer County quiet hours from 9pm to 8am. Noise carries more than many guests expect in this area, especially outdoors and around the hot tub. Outdoor speakers and amplified sound are not allowed during quiet hours, and violations may result in fines.
Trash and Wildlife
All trash must be secured in the bear bin on the driveway. Do not leave trash outside the bin.
This home is in a wooded mountain setting, and wildlife may be present. Please lock vehicles, keep food and coolers indoors, and use the bear bin for all trash. The home is equipped with electric bear wires on the front door and windows. We recommend keeping them activated overnight and whenever you are away from the property.
Winter Travel
Winter guests should check road conditions before arrival. 4WD/AWD and carrying chains are highly recommended during winter weather. Driveways, walkways, decks, and stairs may be icy when snow or freezing temperatures are present.

It’s a comfortable, well-located North Tahoe retreat for fall getaways, Thanksgiving visits, ski weekends, and relaxed mountain stays with family or friends.
Please be aware of the county regulations and quiet hours of 9pm-8am, especially when in the hot tub. Sound carries! There is no street parking at any time. All trash must be secure in the bear bin on the driveway. Do not leave any trash outside of the bin. If you have additional trash, please leave it inside and let us know.
