About this house rental
Enjoy the wonderful quiet surroundings of Lake Tahoe in our gorgeous mountain home, CHARNEY CHALET. It offers over 2200 square feet of spacious living space on a 1/3 acre lot. This retreat is newly decorated in alpine comfort and elegance. There is a newly remodeled kitchen with solid granite countertops, hardwood floors and beautiful wood appointments throughout. The kitchen has a 4 burner gas cook top with a convection oven. It is fully stocked with exceptional Gunter Wilhelm Executive Chef Series 7 pc. Knife Set (High Carbon Stainless Steel) sold at Williams-Sonoma. This is added to our smaller existing set of Michael Chiarello Napa-Style Santoku high-end knives. We have recently added a 10 piece set of Calphalon Durable Hand-Anodized Aluminum Non-Stick interior Pots and Pans with Stay Cool Handles and Oven safe to 450 degrees. This improvement should make the most discriminating chef happy. Since we frequent our Lake Tahoe home often, we look forward to having a beautifully-stocked kitchen for our own family meals, as well for our many guest renters. Professional chefs have even complimented us on our cook ware. There is a large dining table that easily seats 10. We have Fiesta Ware plates and serving platters with lots of silverware to compliment the table.
The well-furnished large Great Room has a cozy river rock fireplace as a focal point. We have lots of seating for your group to be together. Enjoy music on the stereo sound system or watch a DVD on the new 39’ flat screen HD-TV. Watch a movie from cable on demand. The large living area also includes a reading nook surrounded by lovely windows and French doors that lead to our deck. Just outside on the private deck is our NEW Marquis hot tub with peek views of Lake Tahoe. Our hot tub seats 4 - 5 and has fountain features and is state of the art! We have our hot tub professionally cleaned and maintained before every new guest rental arrives. There is a table, umbrella, chairs and a barbecue on the deck, as well, for enjoying the outdoor ambience during the summer months. A well-appointed powder room is off the great room. This great room offers a very large living area with high sloped pine ceilings that allows for wonderful family time with mountain atmosphere.

We had a lovely stay at this gorgeous cabin that truly has it all - large open spaces, deck with BBQ, hot tub, comfortable rooms, many bathrooms, beautiful walkable neighborhood, close access to lake, restaurants, etc! The kitchen is well stocked which made making family meals so enjoyable. Also great place for kids! The weather ended up being poor the weekend that we were up there but we still had plenty of entertainment. Communication with Teresa and Mark was excellent. Highly recommended. We would love to come back for a longer stay!

It was a wonderful place to stay for our family. We had 4 adults and two grandkids and a dog. The bedrooms were nicely separated and the kids bunk room was located near one of the bedrooms perfect for the parents. The cabin was beautiful like the pictures and having a dog accessible beach nearby was great

We visited North Lake Tahoe for a baseball tournament and the Charney retreat was the perfect size for three families. We enjoyed that each sleeping space was separate from each other but the kitchen, dining, and living areas were places we could gather. The cabin is centrally located to Kings Beach and a short drive to Tahoe City. Our baseball players especially enjoyed using the hot tub. Tere was very communicative and responsive prior to and during our stay. The only thing we wish we could have done was to stay longer.

We truly enjoyed our stay at The Charney property, it was more than what we expected. We felt at home, the calmness, peaceful nature of the cabin and its location was perfect for everyone in our family. The proximaty to the lake and all the beautiful views was breath taking as well. I highly recommend the Charney Chalet to anyone looking to have a wonderful group vacation, a home away from home. My over all rating would be the highest - five star rating. I would like to thank Mark and Tere Charney for their prompt responses to all our communications as well.

Perfect for families
We had a wonderful long Memorial Day weekend at the Charney Chalet! We especially loved the hot tub, grilling burgers out on the beautiful deck, and the bonus room with Foosball and lots of games for the kids. It was spacious enough for two families to feel like we had our own space, yet plenty of room to hang out and cook together in the kitchen and eat around the large dining table. I really appreciate that we could bring our dog along on vacation too! The location is fantastic with short and easy hikes right out the front door.

Rose/Kile/Neff Family Reunion
Each year I try to rent a place on the north shore for my 2 kids and their families to connect for a week. Now that they have given me five grandchildren, this annual family time is even more precious. Of the four places I have rented in Tahoe City or Carnelian Bay, the Charney Retreat was the most accommodating for my group of 10. The neighborhood was perfect...so many trails to explore with my grandchildren, and also bike trails that we enjoyed. The house was very comfortable, and I especially appreciated the children's books and other toys available. We enjoyed the kitchen that certainly had all of the amenities needed for family meals, and the hot tub was perfect after the little ones went to bed. Thank you for the extra touches you provided to make your place really a "retreat". We hope to return next August.
Warmly,
Kathleen Rose and Family

Great for families!
We all thought this property would be a great family vacation. Because we were seniors (76 plus) , the up and down stairs were not the best for us. Moving in and moving out was a
Bit challenging. A well stocked kitchen and comfortable great room. Super for families.
3.0
House is as advertised, big, comfy, but definitely a bit ‘worn’….My only real complaint is that I got a $125 bill from Mark and Tere after our stay, for what they said was a charge for our dog urinating on the carpet…I contested the charge because the dogs were outside on the deck nearly 90 percent of the time (including sleeping at night) when they weren’t with us hiking, swimming, etc…Also, the first thing I noticed upon arriving at the house was the carpets were stained and “well-worn” to say the least…I also know my dogs and in the 7 years I’ve had them, they have never peed in the house—not even once…I am very appreciative of owners who allow dogs in their homes (because we always take our dogs with us on family vacations) and, consequently, I am very respectful of dogs being in a their homes…Plus, the pics of the “carpet stains” they sent me were more like dribbles—and in my estimation, we’re already there…My dogs are big and when they pee, it’s more like a river…So I continued to protest the charge, and I received a note telling me I was being “punitive” and unkind which was mean and unnecessary…It was the principal—that I was being charged for something we didn’t do— and I know my dogs did NOT pee on the carpet—particularly since the carpets throughout the house were clearly stained beforehand… Anyway, I did end up paying the fee because they made me feel so bad, but I would never stay there again…We also had trouble with the bbq one night when we had planned a big bbq family dinner…We called and left a message asking for instructions and if we were doing something wrong…Mark did not get back to us till the next day, which ruined our bbq since we had to make everything on the stove in the kitchen—which turned out to be a mess…Granted, it was Memorial Day weekend, and I’m sure they had their own plans, but at $450 a night, they could have called back that night to tell us what we needed to do…When I’m paying that kind of money for a rental, I don’t think I need to be accused of something we didn’t do, much less be told I’m being unkind and punitive.

The hot tub was very enjoying the day and nighttime.

Great family vacation
This has been the best experience into 2021. We will most likely use this site for future stays. The house is very beautiful, especially during winter. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen together. The beds were very comfortable and the area we stayed was convenient to spots we wanted to hit while being out there. Can’t wait to reserve this place again in the future
