About

Located directly between Kings Beach and Tahoe City, this sunny three bedroom/two and a half bath Carnelian Bay vacation rental home features vaulted ceilings, knotty pine accents, leather couches, nice mountain furniture, hot tub, spacious kitchen, and open floor plan. The rental home is 2315 square feet and the large master suite has a two sided gas fireplace, jacuzzi bath tub, dual vanity, and large walk-in shower. Downstairs there is a separate entertainment room with large flat panel TV and DVD. Outside the family room through the sliding glass door is the hot tub and the landscaped back yard. There is a ping pong table in the garage for kids and adults alike.

The winter enthusiast will enjoy the Carnelian Bay location because they are close to Palisades Tahoe, Northstar California, cross country skiing, and the hot tub for apres ski. The summer oriented person will appreciate the Carnelian Bay location because it is close to world class hiking and biking trails, beaches, and the central location for easy access to both Kings Beach and Tahoe City.

Absolutely enjoyed everyday of our stay, the house is set up nicely with most of the bedrooms downstairs and the main living area upstairs is perfect for a family to spread out and visit. I’d recommend this cabin to anyone, loved the feel and the location.

We loved our stay and appreciated how well-stocked the kitchen was. Great open plan layout and rustic mountain decor made for a perfect ski weekend destination with friends. Agate Bay Realty was responsive and proactive and we already want to go back!

I stayed here with a group of friends to ski Palisades for the week, and we were very impressed with the accuracy of the building, the clear communication from the management company, and the amenities available to us. The hosts were extremely responsive, and the space was perfect for a group vacation. It was a 10/10 experience!

Spacious and comfortable home including “woodsy” decorating details that makes a visitor feel right at home upon entry. Thoughtful inclusion of extras including throw blankets and board games. Kitchen well equipped for real cooking and very clean. Hot tub ready to enjoy! Beautiful views from the house and by walking through the quiet neighborhood.

Highly recommended!

Very nice home in a quiet neighborhood. The home is decorated with lots of fun animal photos and figurines. Close to lots of "dog freindly" restaurants and other activities. Very close to the lake, as well as to a nice hiking trail at the top of the neighborhood. We usually stay on the south shore, and staying on the north shore was a real treat. Tahoe City is clean and quaint, with friendly staff at the restaurants and other stores. Highly recommended.

After all it was a great stay for all of us. Very big house that our kids have so much fun just running up and down the stairs . One thing for those who had small children may want to reconsider as the one of the couch is next to the stairs, if your kids standing on the couch, there are a risk they will fall off the stairs. We were happy for our stay, and the host have been very communicative , I received multiple emails during my stay to check on us and ensure everything is good.

Beautiful place!

What an AMAZING home to stay in. Beyond fully stocked with all of the pots, pans, utensils, and more kitchen goodies that you didn't know your stay would need. Wonderful open second floor entertainment floor plan with plenty of room for everyone. Quiet ground floor den with guest bedrooms and bathroom. Half bath off kitchen and mater on suite on second floor. Heated floors in the bathrooms were a surprising addition! We lucked out with mid June thunder storms that were amazing to watch roll in off of the lake though huge living room windows. Agate Bay Reality were wonderful hosts, and we already want to go back!

We spent a wonderful week at the Bray house. It's in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by trees and lovely homes on little windy streets. The house was clean, roomy, and inviting and we had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. There were four of us and two dogs and plenty of space for everyone. You only need to drive 5-10 minutes to get to beaches, trails and restaurants in the Carnelian Bay or Tahoe City area so that was very convenient. We enjoyed the two outdoor decks, the large open family room and kitchen/dining room space, and the cabin feel of the house. We felt very much at home and liked it so much we'd love to come back again.

We had our adult children so the downstairs area was great for spreading out. The decks are lovely, the kitchen soooo well stocked. Wonderful location-easy to get to Tahoe City and Kings Beach in no time! Immaculately clean! Kids enjoyed the hot tub. The upstairs common area was very conducive to enjoying the evenings together. We’ll be back!!

Very Beautiful!!!

The main living room was perfect for our large group, especially for cooking and socializing. Kitchen is awesome! It had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable. Never ran out if hot water. Shower had the restricted nozzle for water saving, but jacuzzi tub filled up fast. House was always warm, and fireplaces worked great. Hot tub in back was a big hit. There were 3 cabinets full of board games. Carnelian Bay is very desirable! It has the benefits of the lake and forest seclusion, while being 10 minutes from Tahoe City and Kings Beach. Only complaint was the TVs took a while to trouble shoot. Cable boxes needed to be reset and family room den TV never worked. FYI the family room den is right off the two guest rooms downstairs. Its not a separate room, more like an entry way. Don't expect anyone staying in there to have privacy. Also Master Bedroom is right off the main living space. You'll hear people staying up late.

Thoroughly enjoyed!

We loved staying at this cabin! The high ceilings and windows above the windows allow a lot of light and beautiful view of the trees. You can actually see Lake Tahoe lake if you peek between the trees. The updated kitchen overlooks the spacious family room and we enjoyed playing card games at the big dining room table. The hot tub warmed our bodies while we enjoyed looking at the stars. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with our family.

Very nice stay

When we arrived at the property I found check in to be a breeze. Upon arrival he house had the heater on and it was very easy to access the garage and park in there. The house in a quiet little neighborhood that I absolutely adored! This was the perfect place for a little family getaway. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook the entire weekend. To me its nice to have spices and some other staple house hold items at the house we rent because I cook a lot so it was perfect! The master suite was spacious and private if you close the bedroom door. Downstairs has a little bar and tv which was very cute and nice to have when we wanted to get in the hot tub. But what I loved most of all was the responsiveness and attentiveness of the rental agency. They were exceptional. I already tried booking this house again for a later date but its already booked out! So if you’re waiting to book this house I suggest not waiting any longer! I look forward to returning to this beautiful home.

Will return!

Great location. Just a 3 minute drive to Tahoe City. Driveway and garage accommodated 3 vehicles. Large roomy home, we were a group of 9 but there was plenty of space. Hot tub is wonderful and it was very easy to remove the cover.

Great location and spacious house with a well-stocked kitchen for all your cooking needs. The backyard was fairly open to neighbors so not much privacy in the hot tub but still nice and relaxing. With the temp in the 80s during the day it was definitely hot at night in the house, especially in the master bedroom, but they provided fans which was helpful. The beds weren’t the most comfortable but did the job and lots of extra pillows and blankets. Would definitely stay here again!

Nice, but a lot of Tahoe kitsch

We stayed at the Bray home with 6 people for a weekend in Winter 2011. The house is well designed, and well maintained. The main feedback I would provide is that the decorations of the house are very "tahoe kitsch" with an overwhelming amount of bear decor. If you are okay with this theme, then it is a great house.

A Little Experience at the Bray House

August 2012

The standing electronic fan in the master bedroom is not sufficient to provide relief and it makes a lot of noise. We used it one night and then turned it off.The lower bedroom, with bunkbeds, had a funky, stale smell.The kitchen is overstocked. There are three, fully stocked knife blocks in the kitchen, multiple salt and pepper shakers and more than three times the number of plates, bowls and glasses to the number of pieces of silverware. The pantry has some nice shelves; however, they're cluttered with items that, in my opinion, are useless, i.e., they're items that are "kitchy" and you would only use, well, maybe never. Instead of using the shelves in the pantry for our storing food items, we had to use the tops of the washer and dryer, which, thankfully, were not cluttered with, "kitch."The house has a lot of knick-knacks and trinkets, everywhere. In my opinion, it's too much. Every windowsill, every table top and even the kitchen counters has "clutter." The clutter even gets in the way because if someone is sitting at the dining room table (on the end closest to the kitchen), the space between the dining room table and the kitchen bar stool is so close, you have to walk through the kitchen and around the bar to get around.Hot tub - limited privacy; only used once.Ping pong table in the garage was fun.The refrigerator freezer does not freeze items, but manages to keep frozen items frozen. Since we live in the Bay area, we brought some frozen meats with us and put them in the freezer. When we bought ice cream and put it in the freezer, it turned soft, like soft serve ice cream. Ironically, the frozen meats we brought and put in the freezer stayed frozen and it made ice cubes just fine. In case you're wondering, this was with the freezer on the lowest temperature setting too. Perhaps the management company needs to pull out the fridge from the wall and clean the condenser/vent on the back of the fridge.

Great location and very nice house. Well maintained and very clean when we arrived. Beds very comfortable. More than enough dishes and pots and pans. Plowed every morning when necessary. Trash container could be bigger or picked up more often, especially with 9 people staying in the house.

A great family vacation home in a beautiful setting

We had decided to have a multi-generational vacation with our two children, their spouses and our two grandchildren this year. We had our son-in-law choose the home. He chose well. This is a beautiful home in a beautiful mountain setting. We all had a great time. The kitchen and living room are very open and spacious. The natural stone counters are stunning. The hot tub is a very nice extra. There is a large deck on the second floor. A smaller deck on the second floor has a propane barbeque.The home was very clean and well maintained. Numerous white fir trees and sugar pine trees are near the house and give the air a pleasant conifer fragrance. We enjoy bicycling and there are abundant opportunities for this in the area.We plan to rent this home for future family vacations.

We recently vacationed at the Bray home and truly enjoyed our stay. The home has a very open floor plan upstairs that makes it easy to socialize and unwind with your guests after a long day on the slopes. My son loved the downstairs portion that had a large TV and couch area where he could play. The home is equipped with everything that you would need including plenty of pots, pans, dishes, washer, dryer, towels, etc. The hot tub is an added bonus and the home has a very nice deck on the front of the house. My wife loved the master bedroom and bath with the heated tile floor, large walk in shower, jetted tub and fireplace. We look forward to staying at the Bray home again next year!

Of all the cabins we've rented via agate Bay Realty this one felt the most like home! The cabin is in excellent condition, spacious for a very large family or for a group of friends. If you have toddlers... they have a baby gate for the top of the stairs. If you have dogs, great "backyard" off the street and also close to hiking trails.

We rented this home for my wife's 30th birthday party and had people coming from San Francisco, Charleston, and Reno, the house fit everyone. The pull out couch and airbed and 3 bedrooms provided the space we needed and the place is well equipped for cooking!! The master bedroom and bath is a dream come true and the hot tub is perfect size.

At first glance it looked great,but after the initial blush,this house needed a lot of TLC. Bedding worn, rugs frayed, the blinds in the master bedroom were broken.The couch has tears and stains,shower head dosn't have good water flow. The door to backyard for access to hot tub was broken,the hot tub should have been screened from neighbors. I would love to recommend this house with these updates made.

We had a great time staying in this cabin. The owner had great collections of antiques and artistic goods, such as bear portrait, paintings, wooden furniture and many beautiful forest theme plates. The house was well-maintained, although the temperature of the hot tub is not as warm as we wanted (the temperature sensor might be broken), we enjoyed the outdoor seating they set up in the balcony and the gas grill. It's a nice home and spacious enough for 2 to 3 small families to share!

This is a beautiful home. Our only problem was the stairs up to the living level. Old folks like us (81 & 82) have difficulty. This cannot be fixed but we might rent again as it was so good. Be aware that the home is some distance up a long hill from the lake.

Great well equiped house, caution regarding sleeper sofa

August 2013

This is a really wonderful house with great common space and very well equiped. The only downside is the sleeper sofa. There are at least 7 missing/broken springs which was okay for us since it was only my 80 lb son who slept on it. It would not hold an adult and certainly not hold two. Otherwise a great property!

This cabin is now at the top of our list of favorites!

We stayed at the Bray cabin over Labor Day weekend with our 2 kids, 2 of their friends and our 2 dogs. What a great weekend it was! We have been renting through agate Bay for years and this cabin is a favorite for sure. It is a beautiful cabin and so comfortable too. Bray is stocked with everything you could possibly need and more. My husband enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, the kids had their own space to play games and hang out, and the ping pong table was enjoyed by all. The landscaped backyard was a bonus too. We absolutely loved our stay and hope to stay here again next summer.

what's not to love?!?

The open floor plan, the huge flat screen Tv's in living room and master bedroom, the huge fireplace in the living room, the peek-through fireplace in master bed/bath, the kids own downstairs media room, chunky pine tree trunks columns and furniture...I can go on and on about how amazingly "Tahoe" this house is. It is so comfortable, the kitchen has everything (except a whisk) haha, and the details like beautiful dcor and art work makes this house a true luxurious mountain getaway. The heater works great, the bathroom downstairs has heated tiles, the washer/dryer is so nice to have right by the kitchen, huge garage w/ a ping pong table is rad, and the backyard is not huge but big enough for kids to run around. Hot tub is ready for you, but with a Jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom, who needs the hot tub outside? :) No doubt this house is a must rent. I wish we could have stayed longer. I wish it were my house. :)

My sisters and I stayed at the Bray property for a girls getaway. We went into the weekend having no expectations, but were very excited to be getting away since most hadn't had a vacation in a while. When we got to the house, it exceeded our expectations. The house has an open floor plan which gave us a lot of room to spread out in. The house is very cozy with that special Tahoe feel. But it is also very modern and extremely clean. The hot tub was also perfect for the cold weekend. I would definitely recommend this place for all types of groups, and my sisters and I can't wait to go back!

Family of Four + dog

Lovely situated, comfortable home that we shared with another family of four + dog. Everyone had space to enjoy activities whether it was reading, playing video games, working on jigsaw puzzles. . .yet the great room kept us all connected to one another while we cooked & engaged in other activities. The beds were comfortable; our chocolate lab was right at home; the hiking trails nearby were beautiful; great selection of games to play; convenient to grocery stores/restaurants. A few bumps: we were not able to get the outside garage key pad to work; the TV downstairs had resolution/color issues; we had difficulty getting the Wi-fi/Tv's to work but agate Bay Realty came in a timely manner to help us; the sinks in the master bath were very slow to drain which were reported; can watch only Blue-Ray Dvd's except in downstairs bedroom. If you are a cook, bring your own knives. Overall these did not adversely effect our stay. We would rent this home again.

I was very happy with this neighborhood. It was all beautiful homes that looked like cabins. We have rented before and felt like we were just in an everyday neighborhood instead of Lake Tahoe! The house has two levels with two bedrooms downstairs. That was nice to have some separation. I stayed in the bunk bed room with my two kids and the queen/full bed that was under the top bunk was so comfortable. The bathrooms have heated floors...heaven! Also downstairs is a little couch and tv, and it opens up to the backyard. Upstairs was so pretty! Huge windows and a lovely gas fireplace. Big leather couches so you have plenty of room. The kitchen was in with the living room so you got to look out the large windows while you cook. We were there for Thanksgiving and the set was perfect! The upstairs bedroom is huge with a double sided fireplace. Huge shower and a soaker tub. We were so lucky to be there while there was a big storm. Over a foot of snow. We went sledding down the backyard hill. The hot tub was HOT and was super fun sitting out in it while it snowed. We have been going from cabin to cabin year after year but this one might be the one to come back to every year!Check out was a breeze and I really enjoy dealing with Agate Bay Rentals they are so nice and friendly! Thank you for a smooth and wonderful vacation!

Great Vacation Rental

July 2016

Overall

We were very pleased with this rental & would definitely consider renting it again or recommending it to others. The location was excellent...close enough to town(s) but far enough away to feel removed. The layout of the house is perfect! The master bedroom/bath is over the garage...which gives you complete privacy. Two bedrooms & a bath downstairs...both with access to the family room...allows other friends/family members to have their own privacy. The upstairs living room/kitchen/dining room is open concept so that when you're all together it's easy to visit!!The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is just a personal preference. Too much stuff!! There's deco stuff everywhere...too much!! And while the kitchen is definitely well stocked, for me, it is overstocked. I got frustrated looking for cooking tools because the drawers where stuffed with them. The same issue with pots, pans & cooking dishes! I had to stop myself from trying to organize everything!! Again, that's just a personal issue but still made me frustrated enough to not give it five stars. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't rent this property again...the pluses definitely outweigh the minuses!!

Beautiful, bright, spacious house, great location.

We enjoyed our stay at the Bray house very much! However there are a few things I'd like to mention.1. The sliding doors need screens, there were lots of yellow jackets coming in. 2. The 1/2 circle window in master needs a shade as the sun shines in VERY early in the morning. 3. The decor is a bit to personal and cluttered for a vacation rental.

It was very spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The decks and the backyard/hot tub get a lot of sun so made for great lounging at home and then there's a great dog friendly beach a few miles away next to Garwoods so this cabin more than met all of our needs, I'll definitely be coming back!

Winter Weekend

Our group loved this place! It was beautiful inside and very nicely appointed with everything we needed. We liked the open concept of the kitchen, dining room and living room. The master bedroom and bathroom are out of this world! The only minor issues we had were the downstairs bedrooms got quite hot during the night, while upstairs was more comfortable with the heat on. Also the driveway is fairly steep but since there was no snow, it didn't cause problems. This could be an issue when there is heavy snow or ice, so make sure you have 4WD in the winter! We had 2 dogs and they also had a great time! We would definitely come again.

Ping Pong table in the garage, spare linens and blankets amongst the living quarters, a well stocked kitchen with all the utensils and cookingware you would need. The furniture was very comfy and everything from the bathrooms to the dishes to the hot tub were clean. The Agate Bay team was very responsive and helpful when we couldn’t find the hot tub key and sent someone to drop off a new key within a short time of sending the email out. My friends and I had a great time here and are already pondering a future trip back to Tahoe at the Bray home.

We loved our stay at the Bray Home for our annual Thanksgiving trip to Tahoe. The house is very inviting and has great views which made it fun to spend time relaxing. It has everything you could ever need in terms of entertaining- plenty of dishes/ bakeware/ wine glasses, etc. as well as games and movies. The instructions sent to us via email as well as the welcome manual were very clear which made it easy to navigate how to check in & out and how to use the amenities. The host was very quick to respond, even on Thanksgiving Day! The house is also very close to stores, restaurants, etc. which made it easy to get out of the house to enjoy Tahoe even with the snow & rain :) We will definitely be back!

This place was nothing short of AMAZING. So much room for my large family. There was a large living room for all of us to lounge and enjoy. Seating at the table for everyone to eat together. The best part was that they had enough mugs and cups for all of us! It's always the worst when you have to do the dishes because there aren't enough to accommodate the number of people in the house and it was definitely not the case here. My mom especially loved all the awesome decor. If you really want a place that feels like you're in a true cabin this is it! Super close to Tahoe City and the lake. I definitely would stay here again!

Agate Bay BRAY home is gorgeous and spacious. It has plenty of room for several families to live in peace and harmony while on vacation. We loved how much character the home had, as the owner clearly LOVES bears and collects really cute bear and cabin related items which gives the home a fun charm. The hot tub was wonderful-super clean, easy to use and adjust bubbles and temp, etc. The home had games, plenty of cooking ware, AMAZINGLY comfy beds, lots of comfy couches and chairs to lounge in, and even some mini deck chairs for toddlers and kids. Location is key so you can get to Kings Beach, Tahoe city, Incline Village, etc...all in about a ten minute or less drive. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and fun to walk around. Agate Bay Realty is super responsive and answered all our questions. The home provides a nice info binder too which talks about local favorite places and restaurants as well as some fun facts about bears. It was perfect. I highly recommend and we hope to come back soon!

Over 20 years I have stayed at several rental houses around Lake Tahoe in this price range. I can say without hesitation that this was the most well decorated and highest quality of the ones at this price point. The open-plan main living/dining space is great. The kitchen has high quality appliances, including a gas stove. The beds are all comfortable and sheets soft. Lots of gas fireplaces. Hot tub is great. Appreciate the large TVs. Parking is fine. A few little issues came up, but Agate Bay folks were always very quick to respond and help out, so it was no big deal. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you want this area of the lake.

The beds were quite comfortable, as was the hot tub for 5 of us. The children loved having the bunk space downstairs, as well as the separate living area where they could play games and watch shows away from the parents. The driveway is plenty spacious for the vehicles, and the garage easily has space for two vehicles, if you would like to park inside. We had gorgeous, warm weather for our trip, but there was still enough snow on the ground in areas for the kids to sled and throw snowballs at each other. Definitely a home to keep on our list for future visits to the mountains!

Lots of wildlife as well: birds, squirrels, even bears! Pioneer Cocktail Club and Tahoe House Bakery were both amazing eats, lots more to try next round. Catch the Tahoe Rim Trail or any of a million others in the area for amazing views. Most beaches are pretty crowded if you don’t head over early, but there lots of nearby lakes and Truckee River access for a more secluded water adventure.

The location is superb - close to hiking and biking trails and just a 15 min walk from the lake. Agate Bay Realty responded quickly when we had a few questions. Garage access using a code made it easy for our group to come and go without ever needing to deal with lock boxes or share keys. We wouldn’t hesitate staying here again and look forward to doing so as soon as possible!

This house has a great layout and was very nice to stay in with the three couples we were with. It also feels like a home which is really nice, sometimes Airbnb can feel a little sterile.

But overall we would definitely stay again. Thanks for the stay.

Only 12 mins to squaw valley ski resort. It doesn’t get better then this. I will say there are Knick knacks EVERYWHERE. Like all dressers in the master were covered In little trinkets and would have been nice to have some counter space. Otherwise the amazing master jet tub and hot tub offered all the relaxation we really needed. Maybe just clear the counters of Knick knacks and you’d have yourself a PERFECT air bnb LOL
