North Lake Tahoe Pvt. attached studio by the lake.

Our Carnelian Bay non- smoking, no pets, private attached studio unit is located RIGHT ON Hwy 28/North Lake Blvd, across the street from Lake Tahoe. It's the road that wraps around the lake. This unit sits on and faces the main road. It is clean, cozy and perfect for two people with a private entrance and parking for one car right outside your unit. The property is flat, with very easy access and also the bus/shuttle stops right outside on the corner for your convenience. Although our house is across the street from the lake, there is no lake view from the property. You can access the lake by walking along the bikelane on the main road to our local beach, "PattonBeach" or walk up our street and take the first left.

Patton Beach, our local beach, is across the street and Watermans Landing, has kayaks and paddle boards to rent, plus food and drinks. Miniature golf is across the street from the beach and don't forget about the best breakfast joint around the corner, "The Old Post Office". We are close to many North Shore ski resorts with Northstar and Alpine only 12.5 miles away, Palisades Tahoe 14 miles and Mt. Rose 18 miles. Kings Beach is only 3 miles away and Tahoe City about 8. Crystal Bay hosts gaming and music venues and is only 4.6 miles away. Lake Tahoe has so much sightseeing and activities and we are happy to give you advice on things to see and places to go.
