The following information is provided to make your stay as smooth and carefree as possible. Please read these rules and regulations carefully before booking and let us know if you have any questions!

TAHOE RENTAL ORDINANCES:
The following laws were set forth by the county and apply to every home in Tahoe. They were put in place to keep Lake Tahoe an enjoyable and safe place to visit for years to come!
1. 10pm - 8am hours are quiet time for all rentals as determined by the county.
2. Trash cannot be left outside and must go into the bear box.
3. We cannot host extra people above the permitted number of guests or allow parties on the premises.
4. We cannot accommodate extra cars on the property. Parking on the street and dirt is prohibited.
5. If your home has a hot tub, please enjoy it until 10pm at which time hot tubs are no longer allowed to be used.

PLEASE NOTE: Noise levels are closely monitored in Tahoe and neighbors may alert the police in the event of excessive noise. Fines will be issued to guests found in violation of noise regulations. In order to protect the homeowner permit, we reserve the right to ask guests to leave in the event of noise complaints.

IMPORTANT INFO:
• QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD: Nestled away in nature, Tahoe at night becomes very peaceful and quiet. As a result, we can only host groups that respect Tahoe's county appointed quiet hours. Our guests generally have no issues abiding by these rules, simply head inside or to the casinos by 10pm. We appreciate your understanding!
• KEEP TAHOE BLUE: Please help us keep Tahoe a natural wonder by appropriately disposing of trash when visiting our beaches and trails. If you pack it in, please pack it out.
• TRAVEL INSURANCE: We highly recommend that all guests purchase travel insurance as we typically do not offer refunds in the event of covid, smoke, fires, weather, snowstorms, road closures, etc.
• WINTER TRAVEL ADVISORY: After the historic winter season of 2023, we recommend travelling with 4WD vehicles, equipped with snow tires and tire chains. Drivers should have experience with snowy conditions. Tahoe roads are icy and power outages are common. Please always wear snow boots and walk with care on icy pathways.
• BBQ/DECKS IN WINTER: Due to snow levels and freezing temps, BBQs are not serviced and decks are not shoveled during the winter. But if you can dig it out and there is propane - feel free to use outdoor spaces.
• LATE CHECK OUT: Please let us know 24 hours prior to check out if you wish to request a late check out time. The first hour is free, followed by a $25/hour fee with check out time not to exceed 1pm. Please note our cleaners sometimes travel as far as 1 hour to clean your home, so we ask that you please respect the 10am check out time unless otherwise requested.
• HIGH FIRE RISK: Lake Tahoe is a high-risk fire area. Fireworks, wood fire pits, smoking/improper disposal of cigarette butts, and charcoal BBQs are prohibited.
• BLACK BEARS: Black bears inhabit Lake Tahoe and are attracted to food and trash. Always lock your car doors, roll up windows, and view bears from afar. Please do not feed the bears.
• TOWELS: We supply one bath towel and one wash cloth per occupant, as well as one hand towel per bathroom.
• SECURITY: Most of our homes have exterior-only security cameras and noise decibel monitoring systems to ensure we are in compliance with the county ordinance, but we take our guests' privacy VERY seriously. There are never indoor cameras. Most cameras are only in use to monitor snow and noise levels, plus a little bear watching.
• MOUNTAIN CRITTERS: Any time you’re staying at a Tahoe home, it’s not uncommon to find little mountain mice, spiders, spider webs, ants, mosquitos, etc. Our homes have on-going extermination services but despite our best efforts, these little critters might make their way inside. If found, it doesn’t mean a home is dirty, it’s simply life in Tahoe! Please let us know if you find any critters and we will promptly mitigate.
• REVIEWS: We genuinely value your input and appreciate constructive feedback that can help us enhance our offerings. If you have any issues whatsoever, please communicate directly with us so we can offer a resolution. We will always act swiftly to ensure your best possible stay. We appreciate the opportunity to meet your expectations before leaving feedback in the form of reviews that have a lasting impact on this home and its owners, who are real people behind the scenes.

The number of overnight occupants shall not exceed two persons per permitted bedroom. Children six years of age or older are counted towards the occupancy limits.

Thank you and happy travels!

Overall Good But..
Property was in a great area with a nice Mountain View down the street. House was clean with fans in each room so kept it nice and cool at night. Only thing is that the pans for cooking absolutely sucked. We couldn’t really cook anything on them without it sticking badly (with a lot of oil used). Only one tv which is located in the living room. Big and great backyard which was nice!

Fine but dated
The house is nice, but everything inside is very old. For example they have a bunch of VHS tapes for you to watch. There was a serious ant problem.

the owners didn’t give us enough towels to shower and i had to communicate many times and had to keep pushing in order to get the towels that we needed. they said they provided the correct number but half of the provided towels were hand towels. there were also ants everywhere in the apartment.

Quiet, bright, lovely
We really enjoyed our stay here. It’s the perfect rental for those who are looking for a quiet place to unwind after a day outdoors. We loved all the natural light in the house and the house is set up perfect for a family with children. Highly recommended for those looking for a place away from the hectic tourist-ness that South Shore can be. We hope this home is available for our next trip to Tahoe!
