House

8 Guests

4 Bedrooms

7 Beds

2 Bathrooms
Indian-embroidered poufs in front of a massive stone fireplace. Antique books on the nightstand. Syrian wooden chairs upholstered with a carpet from Afghanistan. These are just a few of the many ways that Caravansary provides a unique mountain retreat.
This is a house with a creative and loving personality - packed with inspiring treasures collected by the owners from their travels around the world. “Caravansary” is named after the ancient hotels where travelers were welcomed with care and attention as they traveled on the Silk Road. The owners of Carvansary want you to feel at home right away so you can start making memories of your own in this amazing house. They start with welcoming you with a “cookies-in-a-jar” gift for you to throw in the oven (just bring your own eggs and butter) – and voila! you’re ready for movie night!
The big living room with new hardwood floors features a cozy sectional, TV and 2 leather-like recliners just begging you to snuggle up and fall asleep. The open-concept living space connects the kitchen, living, and dining areas. Your chefs can watch the movie while they cook, and the fireplace snugglers can still talk to the board game players sitting at the dining table – which, by the way, seats 12(!) and is made from reclaimed wood from a 1904 Wisconsin barn. Two decks, one right off the downstairs bedroom, means that there’s space for both sunbathing and outdoor eating. The large backyard has a comfortable hot tub, a creek that babbles sweetly when there are heavy rains, 2 BBQ’s, a colorful hammock and swing, welcoming patio furniture, and of course that clean, crisp Tahoe air.
Upstairs includes an updated bathroom (August 2021) with a fabulous marble-look walk-in shower, and a common room with two sectionals and TV. Here, the kids can practice their best family performances in the one-of-a-kind “theater corner” complete with dramatic curtain and bins filled-to-the-brim with dress up items. All 4 bedrooms (including the lower queen bed on each bunkbed) boast super comfy mattresses (Purple and Tuft & Needle!) and awe-inspiring beam ceilings.
Drive only 10 minutes into town, and 20 minutes to camping, hiking, skiing, and waterfalls (including Camp Richardson, Emerald Bay, Heavenly, and Sierra at Tahoe).

Nice house for our party size.
by Cynthia R.Wonderful property overall.
by Collin F.Wonderful property overall.
by Collin F.Pros:
Hot tub and wood burning sauna are incredible. This is a great place to maximize your "hygge" life. Very cozy place. You do need to bring your own firewood, which is important for both the fireplace and the sauna. The decor is intentional and their are tons of little touches which make it feel lived in and human (versus the sterile feeling that you normally get when a place is decorated/furnished by a property management company). Kitchen/dining area is spacious. Downstairs shower is high pressure and fantastic. We fit four cars in the driveway and didn't even need to open the garage. Only 17min from Sierra at Tahoe.
Cons:
Per the other reviews, there were slightly too few dishes. The upstairs bathroom shower was cramped and in need of renovation. The rim of the top stair between dining/living area was broken when we arrived and kept falling off revealing exposed nails.
Overall I through this home was wonderful and a great value. I intend to stay here again in the future if the price remains the same.
Nice place
