Discover Serenity Along the North Shore in Carnelian Bay

Located on the quiet North Shore, Carnelian Bay offers all of the exciting year-round diversions you would expect from a Lake Tahoe vacation without any of the crowds that typically flock to South Lake Tahoe.

Although Carnelian Bay is a small and charming community, its proximity to all of the North Shore’s finest amusements means you couldn’t ask for more convenience from your home base. 14 world-class Lake Tahoe ski areas are within short driving distance and a picture-perfect cross-country ski course is also nearby, making winter an excellent time to experience the wonders of Carnelian Bay.

While the snow-covered Sierras and Lodgepole pines are truly spectacular, Lake Tahoe really comes to life when the summer sun is shining. Beautiful beaches, amazing golf courses, challenging hiking and biking trails, and endless water sports are just a few of the naturally exhilarating adventures that are waiting for you right outside your Carnelian Bay rental.

As much as Carnelian Bay is a wonderland of outdoor activities, you can also use your Carnelian Bay rental as a jumping off point for exploring the excitement of other North Shore towns. Nearby Tahoe Vista offers even more waterfront excitement on the Truckee River, while Kings Beach is the place to go for a family-friendly atmosphere.
