With 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a versatile loft, this one-of-a-kind Tahoe retreat captures the timeless charm of a true cabin in the woods — warm, inviting, and thoughtfully cared for. Set in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood in Carnelian Bay, the home offers a peaceful sense of seclusion while keeping you close to it all — trails, the lake, ski resorts, shops, and dining are just minutes from your door. Inside, you’ll find vaulted ceilings, handcrafted log details, and generous windows that fill the home with natural light.

Every detail shows pride of ownership; this home has been lovingly maintained and move-in ready. Outside, enjoy level access, ample parking, and a peaceful setting surrounded by evergreens. A spacious deck offers a private alpine retreat—perfect for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or heading straight to nearby hiking and biking trails that showcase Tahoe’s natural beauty. Whether you’re searching for a full-time residence, a vacation getaway, or an investment property, this rare log cabin offers the ideal blend of charm, comfort, and convenience.
