This cosy and quiet condo in the heart of a pine forest in a mountainous Californian resort is perfect for those looking for a low-key holiday in the countryside, as well as groups on the hunt for something more active. There are a wealth of sports and activities at your doorstep: cross-country skiing, snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking – you name it, they've got it. If none of that takes your fancy, the house itself is perfect for hunkering down by the fire. The granite fireplace and picturesque wooden balcony truly make this a home for all seasons.

Home truths
There’s no garage, so you’ll have to leave your car in the open air
While there are plenty of fans dotted throughout the house, there is no air conditioning
As this home is in the heart of the mountains, 4x4 cars are probably the most suited to driving through the terrain in spring and winter

Local guide
About Carnelian Bay
On the border of California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe is one of the largest bodies of water in the US. As you'd expect, it's an area of astounding beauty, but the lake has also made a name for itself as a centre for both winter sports and water sports, as well as hiking and cycling. The north shore is a bit quieter and more relaxed than the south. While there's still plenty to do (including the annual food and wine festival), you're unlikely to see crowds like you do in other parts of the region.
