Capture the essence of Old Tahoe in this enchanting three-bedroom, three-bathroom Tahoe ski lease tucked in the highly sought-after Cedar Flat community of Carnelian Bay. Built in 1957 and lovingly maintained, this 2,032 sq ft retreat blends nostalgic mountain cabin charm with modern comforts offering a true Lake Tahoe winter cabin experience for the season. From its warm wood interiors to its classic gas fireplace, every detail exudes the inviting, time-honored character of a traditional Tahoe lodge.
Arrive through the welcoming mudroom and step into an open-concept living and dining area filled with natural light from large picture windows that frame serene forest views. Evenings are best spent curled up by the gas fireplace after a day of skiing at nearby Palisades Tahoe, Northstar California, or Homewood Mountain Resort. The kitchen retains its vintage appeal while providing all the essentials for home-cooked meals, including a gas stove, double kitchen sinks, trash compactor, microwave, coffee maker, and fully stocked cookware. A laundry closet with stacked washer/dryer is conveniently located just steps away.
The main floor features a charming queen bedroom and a full bathroom with a custom stone-tiled tub/shower combination and single vanity. Upstairs, on one side of the home, the spacious primary suite offers a king bed, vaulted ceilings, his-and-hers closets, and a full ensuite with walk-in shower. Across the living room, a separate staircase leads to the third bedroom, furnished with a king bed, twin bed, and its own ensuite bathroom perfect for providing privacy for multiple couples or families.
The large flat driveway ensures easy winter parking, while the oversized insulated two-car garage provides plenty of space for vehicles, gear, or storage. Outdoors, you'll find an expansive stone patio surrounded by towering pines a stunning backdrop for gatherings. In winter, patio use will depend on snowfall, but in any season, it's a peaceful space to enjoy the crisp mountain air.
Nestled in a quiet, forested neighborhood, this Carnelian Bay ski lease offers easy access to the lake, charming Tahoe City, and some of the best ski resorts in Lake Tahoe. Whether you're chasing fresh powder, relaxing by the fire, or soaking in the nostalgic atmosphere of a true Tahoe mountain cabin, this home offers the ultimate seasonal getaway.
