Property details

Nestled among the evergreens of Carnelian Bay, Timberwood Cabin is where timeless Tahoe charm meets modern mountain living. This single-level home offers a seamless blend of warmth, style, and comfort, creating an atmosphere that feels both elevated and deeply inviting. Designed for families, couples, and small groups, it’s a place to reconnect, slow down, and savor every moment surrounded by the natural beauty of North Lake Tahoe. Vaulted ceilings with rich wood beams, large windows framing the forest, and thoughtfully curated décor give this home an unmistakable sense of character. Whether you’re coming in from a day on the lake or unwinding after carving turns on the mountain, Timberwood Cabin welcomes you home to peace, light, and the effortless rhythm of Tahoe life. We care for Tahoe as much as we care for our guests! With every stay, the property manager plants a tree and provides eco-friendly supplies to help preserve our beautiful mountain environment. MAIN FLOOR The heart of the home is its open-concept great room, a space designed for gathering and relaxation. The living area invites cozy evenings with its plush leather sectional, soft lighting, and large smart TV, perfect for movie nights or streaming your favorite playlists. A charming vinyl record player and a hand-picked selection of records add a nostalgic touch, filling the space with the warmth of vintage sound. It’s the kind of detail that transforms a stay into an experience, inviting guests to slow down and enjoy life at a different tempo. Just beyond, the kitchen strikes a beautiful balance between rustic and refined. Hickory cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and polished granite countertops bring a modern edge to the home’s classic mountain aesthetic. Cook together with ease using the gas range, enjoy fresh morning coffee by the window, or gather at the farmhouse-style dining table for shared meals and conversation. Sliding glass doors lead to the spacious back deck, creating a perfect indoor-outdoor flow. On sunny afternoons, open the doors to let in the scent of pine and the sound of mountain breezes. As evening falls, grill beneath the umbrella, dine under a canopy of stars, or settle into the Adirondack chairs with a glass of wine and the glow of string lights overhead. BEDROOMS All three bedrooms are located on the main level, each thoughtfully designed to offer comfort and privacy. The primary suite features a king bed dressed in soft linens, a large window framing the forest, and an elegant ensuite bathroom with a walk-in tiled shower and a stone-topped vanity. The second bedroom’s queen bed provides a soothing retreat after a day outdoors, with natural textures and calm, neutral tones that echo the surrounding woods. The third bedroom is perfect for kids or friends, with a twin-over-full bunk bed and a cozy desk nook ideal for reading or remote work. A second full bathroom, equally stylish, includes a tub-shower combo with beautiful tilework and matte black fixtures. Both bathrooms are designed with simple luxury in mind—fresh towels, warm lighting, and natural finishes that feel both practical and indulgent. OUTDOOR SPACES As beautiful as Timberwood Cabin is inside, its outdoor spaces take the experience to another level, offering the perfect blend of nature, comfort, and Tahoe magic! The spacious back deck is surrounded by tall pines and offers plenty of room to relax, dine, and take in the mountain air. Fire up the gas grill for dinner outdoors, share stories at the picnic table, or unwind in the private hot tub, perfectly placed for privacy and stargazing. A pair of Adirondack chairs provide a relaxing spot for morning coffee or an evening cocktail, and during the winter months, snow transforms the setting into a serene alpine escape. In summer, it’s the perfect spot for barbecues and long, lazy afternoons. In winter, the fenced hot tub area becomes your personal spa under the stars. Out front, a pair of rocking chairs on the porch offer another peaceful perch for quiet moments among the trees. LOCATION and AMENITIES Timberwood Cabin’s location captures the best of Tahoe living, no matter the season. For the winter months, the cabin is just 15 minutes from Northstar California Resort, 20 minutes from Palisades Tahoe, and 10 minutes from the Tahoe Cross Country Ski Area. Guests can also enjoy sledding right nearby—just a short walk brings you to a small, gentle hill that’s perfect for a quick run in the snow. When the weather warms, a short drive brings you to Patton Beach, Magic Carpet Mini Golf, and the iconic Gar Woods Grill and Pier. Spend mornings kayaking on the lake, afternoons exploring local shops and cafés, and evenings gathered around the table with good food and great company. Carnelian Bay sits perfectly between Tahoe City and Kings Beach, offering easy access to restaurants, markets, hiking trails, and lakefront adventures. Whether you’re here for sunlit summers, snowy winters, or simply quiet evenings by the fire, Timberwood Cabin captures the essence of a true Tahoe retreat. *Please Note* - Maximum Occupancy: 7 - Parking Spots: 2; During snowfall, street parking is not allowed due to snow removal.

Great location close to everything you would want to do! Walkable restaurants and activities, and a close drive to everything else. Everything was clean, organized, and had everything you could need. Communication was clear and responsive.
