Occupancy limitations are governed by City and County ordinances, as well as Fire Department regulations. Violations of this policy place the Property Owner’s Short Term Rental Permit at risk.

03. Pet Policy

***** Barking, howling, crying, and/or other prolonged noise is prohibited at all times, and specifically while the dog is left in the house alone.
This neighborhood and the Tahoe-Donner Community in general, are VERY sensitive to pet owners who do not pick up their pets’ waste or “leave the baggie to be picked up on the way back”. It is against the ordinances of Placer, Nevada, El Dorado, and Washoe County to leave pet waste anywhere (even in the forest). Due to the sanitary nature of our cleaning service’s responsibilities, an additional $125 pet waste removal fee will be charged if a pet waste complaint is received regarding your stay or if pet waste is found anywhere on the property.
04. Maximum Parking
This home allows a maximum of three (3) vehicles without prior authorization. Street parking is not available in this neighborhood, and additionally may not be permitted by local laws. Guest(s) accept full responsibility for vehicle damage, theft, fines, or loss while on or off the property. YOU CANNOT ACCESS THE SLOPED DRIVEWAY OR SURROUNDING SLOPED ROADS WITHOUT 4WD/AWD AND SNOW TIRES IN THE WINTER MONTHS.
05. No Smoking
Smoking (including vaping) is not allowed anywhere on the property—inside or out. Should a violation of this policy occur, an immediate $500 remediation fee will be assessed, your reservation will be immediately terminated, and you will forfeit all fees paid.
06. Quiet Hours
Quiet hours are between 9 PM and 8 AM. Quiet is defined as the absence of voices, music, and other noises anywhere outside of the residence. The County Ordinance Enforcement Officers and the neighboring community are extremely sensitive to the strict enforcement of this policy. Response to a noise violation report may result in a $1,500 County Ordinance Violation Fee. In addition, should a violation of this policy occur, your reservation will be immediately terminated, and you will forfeit all fees paid.
07. Trash & Recycling
This is bear country. We love and respect them, and everyone must accept responsibility for keeping them alive and the property damage-free. The Lake Tahoe Community is highly sensitive about the responsible disposal of trash and any type of wildlife attractant(s). Local residents routinely report violators to the local Sheriff’s Department, without warning. Bears that enter a residence, garage, or vehicle are subject to euthanasia by the Department of Fish & Game. Please know that it is against State Law to leave any type of trash or wildlife attractant unattended. Therefore, all trash and recycling must always be securely placed inside the locked bear box at the end of the driveway). Overflow garbage and recycling must be taken off-site by the Guests and never left in a garage, vehicle, near a door or window, or any other unsecured outdoor location. Guests assume financial responsibility for all violations of the law. Local and State fines for improper storage and/or disposal range between $1,500 and $5,000 per occurrence. In addition, should a violation of this policy occur, your reservation will be immediately terminated, you will forfeit all fees paid, and the Property Owners will be entitled to reimbursement by the Guests for loss of revenue due to revocation of their Short Term Rental Permit.
08. Housekeeping and Check Out Practices
Your cleaning fees cover a standard level of service, including floors and surfaces, linen changes, and laundry processing. Unlike a hotel, this is a personal residence, and as such, the cleaning fee does not accommodate excessive or unanticipated services not typically required for a residential stay. Thank you for caring for this property as if it were your own.
After you check out of the property, there may be a period of time before the cleaning service arrives. Our bears are very motivated by homes with accessible food and trash smells (even when the doors and windows are closed), so we kindly ask that Guests please:
(1) Return all indoor and outdoor furniture to their original locations/positions.
(2) Leave used beds unmade (no bedding on the floor, please).
(3) We appreciate you collecting all dirty towels and placing them near the washing machine - we always love it when guests start the first load when they leave.
(4) Secure all remaining trash in the bear box or dumpster provided, ensuring the door is firmly closed and locked.
(5) Load the dishwasher with any remaining dirty dishes and start the wash cycle.
We don’t want to put any undue pressure on Guests to do our job. We hope you understand because when a bear breaks into a home, they are not eligible for a “second chance” or relocation option (not to mention the damage to the property).
09. No Guarantee of Services
Our WiFi and electricity are reliable. Although rare, unpredictable conditions may cause occasional outages (this is the Sierra Mountains). Likewise, indoor and outdoor amenities that are listed in this posting and depicted in the photos are subject to seasonal, operational, and/or functional availability. Interruptions or lack of availability of any of these services and/or amenities do not alter the terms of the Rental Agreement.
