North Lake Tahoe Cabin W/ Hottub next to National Forest
Conveniently located in Agate Bay (between Kings Beach and Tahoe City on the north shore of Lake Tahoe) this 2600 square foot Tahoe vacation home is situated on over a half acre parcel that backs to forest land. No neighbors in this back yard meaning you have wonderful seclusion. Features vaulted ceilings, large rock fireplace, two car garage, large deck, hot tub, all pine walls, remodeled kitchen cabinets and appliances (including American range), remodeled bathrooms, free high speed wireless internet, flat screen TVs, comfy furniture and sheets and an upstairs "bunk" room which sleeps 5 with a TV and is perfect for kids. All these things make this home different than your standard rental home.
The property has a very serene mountain feel with plenty of outdoor space for the kids and the kids at heart. Leading directly from the house there are great hiking and biking trails in the summer and cross country and snowshoe trails in the winter. This Tahoe home has a redwood deck with spa that faces the forest, an open kitchen with commercial American range and oven, large rock fireplace, ping pong table, vaulted ceilings and a two car garage for those snowy winter nights. The house is close to the conveniences of Carnelian Bay including Gar Woods restaurant, a dog friendly beach (Patton Beach), CB's Pizza, Magic Carpet Miniature Golf, 7-11, and more.

Perfect !!!
Long overdue review, but this place is incredible. Our family of 4 and our guests that came overnight for one night had an amazing time. The best thing - it is very central to the 'civilized' part of North Shore, but absolutely removed from everything! The wilderness trails out the back is true Sierra back country hiking. The worst thing - that we didn't book the whole week there ( only 4 days). The house is elegant but comfortable and had everything we needed for cooking in, and entertaining. Compliments to the hosts who made it very easy to book and were full of useful tips to the area.
