Carnelian Bay vacation rentals

it was warm, cozy and welcoming. Glenn is one of the best host we've had and we have rented quite a bit. A very seasoned host. The cabin was very clean, and had many amenities.

We had such a great stay here with family and friends over the weekend! The cabin was beautiful, in a great location, and the host was super friendly and responsive. One thing that really stood out was how well-stocked everything was, which isn’t something we’ve typically seen at other Airbnbs. The kitchen had everything we needed, from pots and pans to coffee machines, spices, and seasonings, which was perfect since we did a lot of cooking. Just a heads-up if you’re a coffee person: they provide the machines but not the coffee, so be sure to bring your own! The place was also dog-friendly, which was a huge plus. We loved that there were tons of games, activities, and even outdoor gear to keep everyone entertained. You can tell the host really cares about the guest experience, and we’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Claire was always responsive and kind. The cabin was amazing for our family's Christmas trip. Beautiful surroundings and view! Kitchen accommodated cooking a full Christmas dinner, the dining area was perfect for family puzzles and board games, and the ping pong and foosball were a hit with everyone. A Christmas we are sure to cherish forever.

We had a wonderful stay! Great location on the water and near the town and great restaurants. It was so lovely to wake up to the gorgeous lake view from the master bedroom in the mornings. Would definitely stay here again!

Mike’s place was great! Awesome value, very convenient location.

Cindy place was amazing! It’s located right next to the Hyatt which we did not take advance of (but wish we did)! It was very easy to get to Mt. Rose to ski every day. The place was very clean, and it had cable tv. We totally want to come back here next year for New Years and hope they will host us again!

Laura was an incredible host. She responded promptly to texts and calls with the many questions I had. She was always very helpfull, very pleasant and accommodating. We were delighted with our stay.

Brandon was an amazing host and his house is beautiful! My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer!!

Very clean and all the supplies etc needed to have an enjoyable and relaxing stay. Bathrooms, Beds and bedrooms were excellent. Would stay here again.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful house by Donner Lake. The home is spotless, well-maintained, and offers breathtaking views of the mountains. The lake is just a short walk away, which made it easy to enjoy the outdoors. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed for cooking, and the WiFi was fast and reliable — perfect for both relaxing and staying connected. MaryAnn is a wonderful host: very responsive, kind, and always ready to help. We’d love to come back if we get the chance!

Winans family was an absolute pleasure to stay with, the apartment was spotless, and they provided excellent local recommendations," "We had a wonderful stay . The communication was fantastic, the location was perfect, and the property was well-maintained,

We had a wonderful time staying here for our family weekend getaway! Host was timely and consistent in responses with a ready-made guide to local attractions, resources, and clear check-in/check-out instructions - never felt like I was left hanging whenever I had questions. Full view of the lake from the back deck and dining room window which is stunning, made my amateur photographer father very happy! We stayed in February and really appreciated the thoughtful winter-ready amenities like space heaters in the upstairs rooms, extra quilts, and heated mats on the walkway leading up to the front door outside. EV charging a plus as well. Parking a bit tricky with a small driveway (have to park back to front if more than one vehicle) but honestly with all the pluses, this shouldn’t be a dealbreaker. Overall a family-friendly Airbnb for kiddos and older family members alike, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We had a great stay in this wonderful unit. It was clean, updated, and well-stocked. We did not hear any road noise (it was winter, so the windows were closed). There is no washer in the unit, but there is an inexpensive laundry room on-site (the machines take credit cards, which is great because we had no coins). The host was very helpful and responsive when we had any questions. The location is perfect - right on the beach and very close to Heavenly ski resort.

Great location and great views from the unit. Private access to the beach was awesome (no need to worry about parking at King's Beach).

I stayed at this lovely home when I was in Truckee for a wedding and it was perfect for my stay. The home was clean and cozy with clear instructions for everything. It is well stocked with plenty of kitchenware, towels, extra blankets, and more. The layout and location were ideal and in a nice quiet neighborhood. There is a big driveway and a garage you can park in. Sean was easy to communicate with and responsive. I didn't need to reach out to him, but it was nice to know he would be available. I would easily stay here again the next time I am up in the Truckee area.

We loved it! Fit us all well, and the area was really nice. Would absolutely stay here again!

We had a great stay! Apartment was well furnished and convenient. it's location was great! We would definitely stay there again.

Jared's condo is close to village and very close to the shuttle. Very convenient! All windows have a beautiful view of the woods. Nice open floor plan with cozy fireplace. As for Jared, we asked if he had a meatloaf pan...and he got us one! Totally unexpected and appreciated. Would definitely go again.

The stay was amazing with the family. The room had all the amenties, The balcony had a great view of the mountains. It was quiet. All the restaurants and other activities were very close. The room had board games, puzzles and jenga for the kids. Beach items where in the storage shed. The host had heated blankets so we didn't feel cold at night. Check in and check out was very smooth and the Delores had pretty detailed instruction. Would definitely stay here for the convenience of the location and it was just a home at a different place.

Very good family ski in ski out condo for spring break. Well stocked kitchen and updated appliances. Clean bathroom with plenty of towels etc. Comfy couch and living area. A little bit of a walk (with stairs) from the parking area so if you have senior members of your group keep that in mind. Very easy to get to and from the slope (ski down to gondola in 15 seconds). Village run returns you right to parking area for the condo.

Wonderful place for a peaceful escape from daily life. The neighborhood is quiet yet conveniently located, and the well-stocked kitchen was a big plus. Mihai was incredibly friendly and helpful—always quick to respond. I’d definitely recommend staying here!

The location is great, quiet with beautiful surroundings. I would give John 5 stars. He is a great host and very responsive. He kindly accommodated our early check-in and late check-out, which we really appreciated. For the place itself, I would give 4 stars. It could use a bit of maintenance, specifically, the dishwasher needs some attention, and the heater in the master bedroom was a bit too loud. However, everything else worked fine for a comfortable night’s sleep after a full day of skiing.

It's a very cozy space. Small but still contains everything one would need for a long term stay. Not a great cellular signal, and apparently they have blackouts from time to time, but this isn't reflective of the host. Just an fyi if you're needing a stable cellular connection. The wifi is strong enough as well, apart from unforseen loss of electricity.

Great place to stay! 5 minute drive to Diamond Peak for skiing. Close to local restaurants. The condo was comfortable, cozy, and warm (we visited in the winter) with everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Thank you Janet and team!
