Stephens Retreat: Beautifully Updated, Family Friendly North Shore Home

// This home is a short term rental and ski lease \\

**PETS PROHIBITED**

Stephens Retreat is a beautiful 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom home, centrally located in a quiet neighborhood on Lake Tahoe’s North Shore. It’s a true Tahoe retreat, ideal for 2 small families or a group of up to 11.

Enter on the first floor the spacious, open and tastefully decorated kitchen, living and dining areas, half bathroom in the hall and King Master bedroom suite off of the kitchen.

The modern, fully updated kitchen is a cook’s dream with 5 burner gas stove, double ovens and all the equipment needed to prepare and serve meals. Farm-style dining table can seat up to 10, plus there’s casual dining in the kitchen with 4 bar stools at the counter.

Snuggle in the living room by the gas fireplace and enjoy a movie on the large flat screen TV or curl up with a good book in one of the window seat nooks.

Step out of the living room onto the sunny deck to grill up something tasty on the gas BBQ (available in summer only) or simply to appreciate the aroma and serenity of the surrounding pines.

Upstairs you’ll find three more bedrooms. On one side of the hall is a spacious second King Master Suite with flat screen TV and twin-vanity bathroom. On the other side there’s a Queen bedroom with large flat screen TV and another bedroom with Queen-on-bottom, Twin-on-top bunkbeds and a separate Twin bed. These two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill-style full bathroom.

From Stephens Retreat in the Agate Bay area, it’s so easy to get to beaches, hiking and biking trails, ski resorts, casinos, restaurants, shopping and virtually all the adventures Lake Tahoe offers. Wide neighborhood roads; a large, flat paved driveway; and a two car garage mean carefree access and ample parking year-round.

Come discover Stephens Retreat -- you’ll want to escape to this fantastic Lake Tahoe home at every opportunity!

Great house
We had a big group- two families that stayed here. House was great. Very clean and was a really nice space. It was warm upstairs at night. Some box fans to put in windows would be helpful. It did have stand fans that helped. Kitchen was gorgeous. Would stay here again.

Fantastic House
This house is an exquisite mountain house! Location is great in Carnelian Bay, and the pictures accurately show how nice it is. It was perfectly clean and was outfitted with everything we needed inside the house! It has been beautifully updated, and everything functioned perfectly. The property managers were very resposive to questions, check in was seamless. We heartily recommend this Vrbo house!

Dirty house!
This rental has a lot of potential, but it needs to be cleaned more thoroughly. After checking in, I walked into the master bathroom to find glob of toothpaste on the floor. The floor and shower were filthy. There was dirt on the floor and hair on the walls and floor of the shower. The microwave had not been cleaned, the kitchen glass pendant was full of smudged fingerprints, there was blood on the upstairs comforter, dense cobwebs in the house and on the outdoor patio, and a piece of door molding laying on a coffee table. There was also no propane in the BBQ. We called the management company and asked them to address the problems immediately, but did not hear from there for three days. When they finally called- we were checking out the next day. Nice timing! They did not address my concerns until we had checked out and stated since I didn't send them numerous photos (I did send one of the bathroom floor) there was nothing they could do since their housecleaners said it was clean. They could have asked for the photos while we were still at the house, or better yet they could have come seen for themselves. We do not recommend renting this house, especially during COVID.

Enjoyed our stay
Good location if you're looking to explore west/north shore. First floor looks newly updated, second floor where the bedrooms are a bit older but still comfortable. No A/C but not bad in the summer if you leave the windows open.
