Location
This cozy cabin is situation in a mountain community, feel what it's like to wake up in the Sierras. Secluded quiet privacy with easy road access.
Home truths
Location-Specific Details:
You're on the main Highway 50 corridor, so expect some road noise but excellent access to everything
Heavenly Village and gondola are about 10-15 minutes east - easy ski access without being in the expensive village core
Stateline casinos (Harrah's, Harvey's) are roughly 15 minutes away for entertainment
You're positioned between South Lake Tahoe's two main commercial areas - convenient but not walkable to either
What Guests Actually Experience:
Altitude adjustment is real at 6,200+ feet - expect headaches, fatigue, and increased alcohol effects for the first 1-2 days
Mountain cell service can be spotty in parts of the house - WiFi becomes critical for communication.
The house stays naturally cooler in summer (mountain blessing) but can feel quite cold in winter mornings before heating kicks in
Practical Realities for Renters:
Parking for 6-8 cars typically, but snow can reduce usable spaces significantly
Kitchen supplies need to account for high-altitude cooking (water boils at lower temp, baking adjustments needed)
Trash and recycling rules are strict in Tahoe - violations can result in fines that get passed along
Seasonal Logistics:
Winter: 4WD/AWD with chains required by law; keep backup food as storms can trap you for days
Summer: AC isn't always standard in Tahoe homes since nights cool naturally
Year-round: Bears are active - all food/toiletries must be stored properly or expect property damage

These are standard in the area and help protect both our guests and the beautiful Tahoe environment.
The vast majority of our guests have no issues at all — but every once in a while, we do get a rowdy group. We always do our best to communicate with you before anything becomes a problem, so please keep your booking phone handy during your stay. If you have any questions or concerns, just send us a message. Thanks for your understanding 🙂
COUNTY LAWS & HOUSE RULES
Quiet Hours: 10pm–8am (countywide rule). Please help us respect the neighbors and Tahoe’s peaceful setting.
Trash: All trash must go into the bear box — never left outside. It’s for your safety and to protect wildlife.
Guests & Parties: Only registered guests are allowed. No parties, please.
Shoes: Kindly remove shoes inside to help protect the wood floors and carpet.
Smoking: No smoking on the property, and especially no flicking cigarette butts (fire danger is very high here).
Fires: No open flames, fireworks, or bonfires — Tahoe has strict fire safety rules.

WINTER TRAVEL ADVISORY
Tahoe winters are beautiful but can also be extreme. A typical storm may bring 1–3 feet of snow in just 24 hours. Please keep the following in mind:
Roads and driveways are plowed once snow reaches 6 inches. If less has fallen or you arrive during an active storm, you’ll encounter snow on the road and driveway.
Street parking is not allowed in winter, so you’ll need to drive over the snow. A 4WD vehicle with snow tires and chains is strongly recommended (and sometimes required). Even with 2WD, chains are mandatory and conditions can still be challenging.
Always bring chains, regardless of your vehicle type. Tahoe roads can be steep and icy, even when it’s not snowing.
Power outages happen from time to time during storms, so please be prepared.
