Important Information Before Booking
Bear-Proof Trash Bin: The bear-proof trash bin is located next to the driveway. Please use this bin for all trash and make sure the lid is securely closed after each use. Bears are a natural part of life in Tahoe and can be attracted to unsecured garbage. Properly securing your trash helps protect both you and our local wildlife.
Winter Travel: When visiting Tahoe in winter, be prepared for mountain driving conditions, possible road closures, and delays in snow removal. You’re booking a mountain getaway, so come prepared for changing weather and road conditions. Our snow removal crews work every day, but we have no control over the county road snowplows. This street is not a primary plow road, so clearing may take longer. Four-wheel drive and/or chains are always recommended, and smaller, low-profile vehicles may have difficulty navigating snowy conditions.
Power Outages: Tahoe can experience power outages during snow, rain, and wind events. Lanterns are provided for your convenience, although availability may vary.
Air Conditioning: Like many homes in Tahoe, this home does not have air conditioning, as our mountain climate has traditionally offered cooler temperatures, especially in the evenings. During warmer days, we recommend opening the windows in the evening to let in the cool mountain air and create a cross-breeze throughout the home. Just remember to close them again when you head out!
Quiet Hours: 10:00 p.m.–8:00 a.m. Please respect quiet hours and remember that this home is located in a residential neighborhood with full-time residents nearby. Parties and disturbances of any kind are not permitted.
Maximum Occupancy: 8 guests. Children ages five and younger are not counted toward the occupancy limit. Occupancy limits are enforced at all times.
Parking: Maximum of 4 vehicles. All vehicles must be parked in the garage (if accessible) or driveway. Street parking is not permitted.
Rental Agreement: El Dorado County vacation rental regulations require a signed rental agreement prior to check-in. The Guest of Record must sign the agreement and keep a copy with them during their stay.
Guest of Record – 25 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER: The person making the reservation and signing the rental agreement must be at least 25 years old, must be staying at the property for the duration of the reservation, and is responsible for ensuring all rental rules and occupancy requirements are followed.
