What makes Carnelian Bay the right base for your trip?
A small, low-key stretch of shoreline between Tahoe City and Kings Beach — quieter than either, and central to both.
- Roughly midway between Tahoe City and Kings Beach on CA-28.
- Waterman's Landing and the Carnelian Bay shoreline are the local water access.
- Convenient base for splitting days between Palisades and Northstar.
This home files its occupancy tax in Placer County, California.
How far is Patton's Pfeiffer Cabin from the places you'll actually go?
Distances are straight-line from this home's own coordinates, so the road distance is longer — mountain roads wind. We've left drive times out rather than estimate them; call us and we'll tell you what the drive is really like in the season you're coming.
House rules and policies
The Tahoe basin is under high fire risk year-round, which is why smoking is refused everywhere on our properties, outdoor areas included. Early check-in and late check-out depend on the cleaning schedule that day — ask us 48 hours ahead and we'll do what we can.
Getting to Patton's Pfeiffer Cabin
Reno-Tahoe International is the closest commercial airport to every home we manage. Sacramento and the Bay Area are the common drives, all of them over a mountain pass.
CA-89 and CA-28 around the lake get chain controls in winter storms, and Donner Summit on I-80 closes on short notice. Check conditions before you leave — Caltrans for California and nvroads.com for Nevada — and plan to arrive before dark on check-in day in ski season.
Booking direct with MG Vacation Rentals
Murat Gocmen and the MG Vacation Rentals team personally manage the homes on this site across Lake Tahoe and Truckee. Booking here means dealing with that local team directly rather than a platform queue — the same people who clean, maintain and inspect this home are the ones who answer the phone during your stay.
It also means no platform service fee on the guest side, which is typically 12–15% of the booking on the big sites. You pay the nightly rate, cleaning, occupancy tax, and card processing at cost.

Had a great time! Host was super flexible and let us check in early and check out late. The place is located very close to the water and has everything you need for a weekend stay. Highly recommend!
Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The host was spectacular, and the cabin was both charming and surprisingly spacious. Everything was so thoughtfully put together that we felt right at home, even with a larger group. Everyone had a comfortable bed, there were plenty of extra blankets, and every detail made the cabin feel warm and welcoming. We loved spending time on the outdoor patios, and while we didn’t end up using the hot tub, it was great knowing it was there. I can only imagine how perfect it would be after a long day on the slopes. The location was another highlight. Being within walking distance of the beach was amazing, and we especially loved having our morning coffee on the front porch. The neighborhood is beautiful and so much fun to stroll through in the evenings. This is the quintessential Tahoe cabin. It has a modern, thoughtfully designed interior while still feeling true to the Tahoe aesthetic. I couldn’t recommend this place more and truly hope we’ll be back again
Very spacious yet not too big home. Very cozy and loved the neighborhood!
We really enjoyed our stay! It was located in very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. I would stay there again.
We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin near Carnelian Bay in Lake Tahoe! Five girls traveled in from out of state to celebrate our friend, and this cabin was absolutely perfect for our trip. The views were stunning, the cabin was cozy yet spacious, and all of the updated amenities made our stay so comfortable and relaxing. Everything was clean, thoughtfully designed, and made us feel right at home. We made so many amazing memories here and truly enjoyed every moment. We would absolutely come back and stay again in the future. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!
Host was quick to respond to messages, house was clean and as described, easy to access the house, and easy check in and check out instructions! Would stay here again!
Loved this cabin. My family is already talking about wanting to come back and stay here again!
I had a great stay at this place. Everything was just like it was described. Great location , awesome amenities and home. I highly recommend this place to stay.
This property was exactly as pictured in the listing—no surprises at all. There was plenty of space, and it could easily sleep up to 8 people comfortably. The main living area is wide open and made it a great spot to hang out as a group. The hot tub was a huge plus and worked perfectly. Mg was an excellent host: very responsive, flexible, and made check-in super easy. I would 100% stay here again and would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Lake Tahoe.
The house and everything included was exactly as described. MG was extremely responsive before and during our stay - thank you! The hot tub on the deck was a highlight for us! Seems like a great place for groups, but it was also perfect for me, and wife and our three year old.
