Detailed Description:
Tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac and backing directly onto Forest Service trails, Granite Getaway is a nature lover's dream. This elegant, 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath mountain home provides an inviting space for families and friends to gather and enjoy Tahoe's scenic beauty. The open floor plan, tastefully designed interiors, and vaulted ceilings create a warm, airy ambiance that's perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Perfect for both family getaways and friendly gatherings, this inviting home allows you to experience Lake Tahoe's year-round magic.

The main level features a spacious living room with soaring ceilings and plenty of natural light, flowing into a gourmet kitchen that's equipped with everything you need to prepare delicious meals. An ample dining room table that is perfect for gathering together after a day of outdoor adventures. Also on this level, you'll find a serene king bedroom with a private half-bath.

Just a few steps up, the cozy entertainment room offers a separate area for gaming, movie nights, or unwinding with a favorite TV show (streaming only). A laundry room is also conveniently located on this level. Off the entertainment space is a hallway leading to two queen bedrooms that share a beautifully tiled bathroom. At the end of the hallway, the primary king bedroom awaits, complete with a luxurious private bathroom featuring heated tiled floors, a walk-in shower, and a deep soaking tub.

Step outside to the inviting back patio, where you'll find a BBQ grill, outdoor furniture (available in summer), and a hot tub, perfect for gathering under the stars. With direct access to hiking and biking trails, this home seamlessly blends indoor comfort with outdoor adventure. Parking is made easy with a two-car garage and space for two more cars on the short, steep driveway.

In summer, Granite Getaway becomes the perfect base for exploring Tahoe's scenic outdoor wonders. Step right outside to discover direct access to trails for hiking and biking, ideal for adventurers looking to explore the lush forests and mountain vistas. After a day of outdoor fun, unwind on the back patio with a BBQ meal on the grill, enjoying the outdoor seating under the warm evening sun.

In winter, Granite Getaway transforms into a cozy retreat where you can warm up after a day on the slopes. With popular ski resorts nearby like Palisades Tahoe and Northstar, this home provides a perfect setting for skiing, snowboarding, and winter adventures. Afterward, relax in the hot tub while surrounded by the serene beauty of the snow-covered landscape, or gather in the entertainment room for movie nights, gaming, or simply cozying up with a good book.

Private, peaceful, and nature-inspired, this splendid home provides a one-of-a-kind connection to the outdoors.

Tahoe Time Vacation Rentals is a locally owned and operated, boutique-style company—not a large nationwide chain. As a small, family-run business, we take pride in offering a personalized, hands-on approach to hospitality. Our homes are carefully selected and located in the quieter, more scenic areas of Lake Tahoe, including the California North Shore, Olympic Valley, Alpine Meadows, the West Shore down to Rubicon Bay, and the Palisades at Tahoe ski area.

What makes our company stand out is our dedication to being here for you. As long-time locals (thirty plus years), we are always available to assist with your stay, ensuring a seamless and memorable Tahoe experience from booking to check-out. Whether you're here for adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, we're committed to making your time in Tahoe truly special.

REQUIRED COUNTY STR PERMIT INFORMATION: STR 22-6112 | TOT #624242 | Max Occupancy is 8 | 4 Parking Spaces. Parking on the street is strictly prohibited. All vehicles must be parked in the driveway and/or garage at all times. Guest must agree to read and comply with Placer County's Good Neighbor Policies.

County Rules
As part of the Short-Term Rental Permit for this home, the county asks that we share the important rules and regulations with you. We appreciate your cooperation in following the guidelines listed below, also included in your signed Vacation Rental Agreement.

Maximum Occupancy: There shall be no gatherings, events, weddings or other group functions on the Premises with more people than the number of persons stated on the Agreement.

Parking: Parking on the street is prohibited at all times. All cars, boats, and trailers must be parked in the garage and/or driveway.

Quiet Hours: Quiet hours are 9pm-8am, seven days a week. Per the County: No sound may be audible from the property line during quiet hours. Amplified sound (such as speakers) shall not be used outside or be audible from the parcel line of any short-term rental at any time.

Lights Out: All exterior lights must be turned off that are not needed for safety or other outdoor use to the extent that such other outdoor use is not an unreasonable nuisance to neighbors at night.

Red Flag Warnings: Due to high risk of wildfire in our area, bonfires, charcoal barbecues, and wood-burning fire pits are always prohibited. On designated Red Flag Warning Days—when fire danger is especially severe due to dry conditions and high winds—all outdoor fires are prohibited, including gas grills and gas fire pits. These restrictions come directly from the North Tahoe Fire Protection District and must be followed for everyone's safety. It is each guest's responsibility to stay informed about Red Flag Warnings. They are announced on local news, radio, and social media, and you'll also see signs posted at fire stations throughout the area.

Winter Driving: Many highways, access roads, and driveways in the Tahoe area can become icy during the winter. For your safety, it's essential that between November 1st and April 30th your vehicle is winter-ready. Make sure brakes, windshield wipers, defroster, heater, and exhaust system are in top condition. Tires should be properly inflated with excellent tread, and you should always carry tire chains—even if you have an AWD/4WD vehicle. Double-check that your chains fit your tires and are in good working order. On many state highways and county roads, four-wheel drive and snow tires are required for safe travel.
Please be prepared for winter conditions: dress appropriately, stay in bounds at ski resorts and if you get lost, remain in place.

Garbage & Bears: Please do not feed the bears. Black bears are very common in this area and, over time, many have become used to human food and trash. Because they no longer have a natural fear of people, you may see them during your spring, summer, or fall stay. Feeding bears is illegal, and leaving food outside, trash unsecured, or doors and windows unlocked can lead to serious property damage to both homes and vehicles. To help prevent this, all waste must be placed in bear-proof bins or dumpsters and the latches secured. Placer County sorts recycling from the waste for you at our materials recovery facilities.

Office Holiday Hours
The TTVR office is closed on New Year's Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Therefore, we are unable to accommodate check-ins and check-outs on these dates. Thank you for understanding.
Located in Carnelian Bay, this vacation home is in the mountains. Northstar California Resort and Palisades Tahoe are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Kings Beach State Recreation Area and Lake Tahoe-Nevada State Park. North Shore Parasail and Kings Beach Miniature Golf are also worth visiting. Take in the nearby slopes with cross-country skiing and snowboarding, or check out other outdoor activities such as sledding and ice skating.
