The deck with its stunning view was a highlight for our group! Appreciated the new grill (just recently installed before our arrival), well-equipped kitchen, pool table and lots of seating

Our group had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property nestled among towering trees with incredible Lake Tahoe views. The house is expansive, offering plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. The management team was responsive and attentive throughout our stay. As noted in other reviews, the property could benefit from a bit more TLC — some fresh paint, attention to details, and updated amenities would elevate the experience. That said, it’s still a fantastic choice if you’re looking for a spacious, gorgeous home with stunning lake views.

We just spent a long weekend at Villa Bella in Carnelian Bay with 16 friends celebrating our 60th birthdays, and it was absolutely amazing! The house is beautifully situated with a breathtaking 180° view of Lake Tahoe. It’s in a quiet and private location, yet close to great biking and hiking trails. The home itself is incredibly well-appointed—everything you could need for a large group. The huge kitchen with two sinks and two dishwashers made cooking and cleanup a breeze, and there were plenty of bathrooms for everyone, which kept things comfortable. The large deck was a perfect gathering place to relax, enjoy the view, and soak in the Tahoe atmosphere. We also appreciated the ample parking which made logistics simple. This was truly an ideal spot for our celebration—spacious, comfortable, and perfectly located. We’re already talking about when we can come back. Highly recommend Villa Bella for any large group looking to create unforgettable memories at Lake Tahoe!
