Rustic cedar house well located for all things North Lake Tahoe. Large rooms, large common area/tv room. Bill is a really friendly guy who steered us to a great local bar/restaurant/hangout. It's barely off the main drag so very quiet. Very pleased we chose this spot to stay. And much better than average coffee.

We loved, loved, loved this place! Bill built this house and small B&B from the ground up, and it shows in the attention to detail. This place is beautiful. Only three rooms, so it really feels intimate and inviting. It is tastefully decorated and has lots of nice spots to hang out to read a book, have a drink, play... More

Everything about our stay was relaxing, cozy and comfortable. The fountain in the foyer and peaceful music playing in the background were nice touches. Bill is an attentive host, tending to the needs of his guests without being intrusive. Each morning he prepares a full and delicious breakfast. Our room was spacious and the corner fireplace made it toasty warm.... More

My husband and I stayed in the Carnelian Room for 3 nights in January. Bill and Aimee were great hosts and provided a wonderful different breakfast each day: Frittata with bacon the first day, waffles with sausage the second day, and eggs (any way you want) with sausage the third day. All were beautifully plated with fruit and absolutely delicious.... More

We stayed here for two nights in November and greatly enjoyed it. The inn is small, only three guest rooms, but the common areas are large, comfortable and well appointed. Bill, the owner, really put his heart into making this inn a great place for guests to spend a few days. He makes a tasty breakfast, but more importantly he... More

I stayed at the Shooting Star Bed and Breakfast for two nights and wish I had been able to extend for several more. The proprietor and his staff are helpful, friendly and attentive but not intrusive. My room (indeed the whole property) is immaculately clean and well appointed. Every detail for your comfort and serenity have been thought out in... More

This place is great. We loved the location. Right across the street from Carnelian Bay! The owner spares no expense on food, coffee and toiletries. Also so generous with towels. Our room was large and well furnished. Breakfast was lovely and he asked when we would like to eat! I would defintely stay here again.

We made our second visit to Lake Tahoe in mid August and plan to stay at Shooting Star again on our next trip. The location in Carnellian Bay is very convenient and easy to find. Our main floor room was clean and the bed, comfortable. Although too warm to use, we appreciated the fireplace. The highlight of the stay was... More

After a five hour flight and a long drive from the San Fran airport on a Friday evening in the infamous California traffic, my Mom & I found ourselves in Nirvana. What a beautiful, peaceful oasis - all of which is a stone's throw away from gorgeous North Lake Tahoe. The Inn was amazing and both Bill and Aimee made... More

The Shooting Star is great. Perfect mood for Tahoe..unpretentious, but that doesn't mean that every detail isn't sweated, from the linens to the breakfast. Our highest recommendation for a romantic Tahoe getaway.
