A Mountain Retreat Built for Groups and Families

This beautifully remodeled home in Carnelian Bay sits minutes from Lake Tahoe's north shore beaches and Tahoe City. With 4 bedrooms plus a separate studio, the property sleeps 13 guests and draws families, friend groups, and active travelers year-round. A private hot tub, outdoor grill, and garage arcade games give it the kind of character that earns repeat bookings and five-star reviews.

North Shore Location

Minutes from Carnelian Bay beaches, Tahoe City dining, and three major ski resorts — strong demand in both summer and winter.

Large Group Capacity

Sleeps 13 across 4 bedrooms plus a studio — perfect for family reunions, ski trips, and multi-couple getaways.

True Four-Season Property

Consistent bookings from ski season through summer lake season — no extended dead periods means reliable year-round income.

Consistent Revenue Across Every Season

Revenue per available room night of $536 — a metric that combines rate and occupancy to show true earning efficiency.

4.8-Star Rating

42 glowing reviews that drive organic bookings and justify premium pricing — guests consistently highlight the home's amenities and our team's responsiveness.

Local Expertise Meets Revenue Optimization

Managing a Lake Tahoe vacation rental profitably requires navigating two distinct peak seasons, complex local regulations, and guest expectations that shift from ski gear storage in January to paddleboard recommendations in July. Our North Shore team handles all of it.

Dynamic pricing kept the $749 average nightly rate strong across all seasons — from $1,300+ summer peaks to strategic winter positioning that filled midweek gaps. The 71.5% annual occupancy rate shows smart yield management: not just filling nights, but filling them at the right price.

Behind the numbers, our local team coordinates everything from hot tub maintenance and snow removal to pre-arrival inspections and 24/7 guest support. That operational reliability is what turns a vacation rental into a hands-off investment — and it's what Brett values most about the partnership.
