GENERAL HOUSE RULES / POLICIES

- Booking guest must be 25 years of age or older.
- Community quiet hours are from 9pm - 8am daily.
- No events or parties. This is not a party house and is best suitable for those looking to enjoy a peaceful time in the mountains.
- No smoking or vaping.
- No commercial photography and / or filming allowed.

Pet Policy: While this house is “pet friendly”, all pets must be disclosed within the guest count when booking and a non-refundable pet fee must be paid. Maximum 2 mid-size dogs per rental group (any others must be approved by host in advance). Guests agree to take full financial responsibility should there be any damage or additional cleaning required due to pets presence.

BEAR SAFETY (VERY IMPORTANT!): You are visiting an area where bears are present. Generally speaking, bears want nothing to do with people and will stay away when they sense your presence. They are, however, very interested in your food / trash and certain precautions should be taken at all times.

1. The home must be properly secured whenever not physically present in the home (doors locked, windows closed / locked, bear system properly activated). Please make sure that all bungee cords are properly installed across all exterior doors and turn on the system (light flashing) whenever not present in the home. Failure to properly secure the home can put the home at risk and result in considerable damage if a bear enters the property. Guests may be held financially responsible if bear damage occurs and it is determined that the home was not properly secured when not present at the property.
2. Trash must be properly disposed of within the metal bear bin alongside the driveway. Do not leave any food or beverages in your vehicle as bears will not hesitate to help themselves to your goodies and can cause significant vehicle damage. Guests should keep the bin fully latched / locked whenever not loading trash, never leave trash outside, and maybe liable for documented repair and / or additional cleanup costs resulting from failure to follow these instructions.

WINTER ADVISORY: By reserving this house during the winter months (November - April), you acknowledge that you will be traveling into the mountains and that winter storms are common and often unpredictable. The dates that you are choosing to reserve are being held for your group and are therefore unavailable for other groups to reserve. In all cases, our cancellation policy will prevail. There will be no consideration afforded for difficult travel due to winter weather condition. We strongly advise that you pay attention to incoming storms and / or changes in weather patterns in order to help avoid travel delays or disruptions. It is also strongly advised that you travel with a 4WD or AWD vehicle, carry snow chains , and have a shovel that can be used if needed to dig out a stuck vehicle. The driveway is on a seasonal plow service, whereas they come once per day when it snows more than 5 inches. They generally follow the road plows and will first clear the berms at the end of the driveway. You’ll need to move your cars so that the plows can access and clear the driveway (which takes less than 5 minutes once cars are out of the way). We do our best to ensure reasonable access to the property, but depending on the timing of your arrival (if during or immediately following a storm), there maybe some shoveling needed. There are shovels located onsite that can be used by guests, but we also recommend traveling with a shovel in case needed while in route.

ALL SEASONS ADVISORY: By reserving this house, you acknowledge that you will be traveling to the mountains and that Lake Tahoe (while beautiful) is in a natural forest setting. As such, it is possible that you may encounter spiders, ants, field mice, etc. at properties throughout the area. We take every proactive measure to prevent pests from finding their way inside the property (i.e. regular cleanings, seasonal deep cleanings, routine pest control - i.e. spray perimeter and crawl space areas, set traps, seal up holes of entry, etc.). Despite those efforts, there’s always a rare possibility that pests can find their way inside the home (as it only takes a very small entry point for that to occur). This is simply a reality of living in the mountains. By accepting our house rules, you acknowledge this Advisory and agree that there will be no refunds or adjustments to pricing should you encounter a pest(s) within the home.

COUNTY ORDINANCES: By booking this property, you agree to comply with Local County Ordinance regulations pertaining to Short-Term Rental Properties (see below for specifics)
