What's inside Tahoe Lake & Mountain Retreat
Everything below is drawn from this home's own amenity record, not a generic template.
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 Tahoe Lake & Mountain Retreat 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 Tahoe Lake & Mountain Retreat
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.

4.75 out of 5 across 4 reviews on our Airbnb listing.
This Tahoe Cabin was perfect! The location was epic. You can tell this was a loved cabin before us, someone took time crafting those beautiful wood countertops. Down the street at Cb’s bistro, the same artist with the “3 dots” did work there. You could feel the tahoe conection! We thought that was a neat fact. There’s also a easy hiking trail right up the street! Dirks hello kitty trail (: As a family who regularly cooks most meals, we found the pots/pans/ working cooking utentsils…somewhat on the slim side. That was the only disappointing aspect. Overall we found Mgs listing pleasant and cozy for our family.
We had a great stay! Perfect for 3-4 people. Felt at home in a very quiet area. Place was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Everything was within distance!
The property was perfect and in a wonderful location. The management team went above and beyond to help us with our booking very last minute. We were having terrible bug issues with another Airbnb/ management team (Avari - don't use them), this team did everything in their power to help us at 8pm. We were able to book and get access within 15minutes. I would also like to note we have a 1.5year old, I am also pregnant so their timely responses and the accommodations were exactly what we needed! They have everything you need in the property as well, even pizza pans haha. We will definitely book with them again! AMAZING SERVICE!
Good place to stay and I would like to stay again for another ovation
