Bear Haus is a very well loved family home that the owner continues to update and work on all the time! Him and his family love to come up and enjoy all things Tahoe. This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home sleeps 10 total and has parking for up to 3 cars - 2 in the garage and one horizontal on the driveway. This is an older home that has only a few updates so we have it affordably priced and would consider it an economy home. Come stay at this comfortable family home!

**HOME NUISANCES**
ECONOMY: We have this home priced as an economy home not because it’s not nice, but because it does have an older feel to it. The owner is making on-going updates.
DRIVEWAY: This home has parking for up to 3 due to the driveway being slim. 2 in the garage and 1 on the driveway horizontal.
OWNER ROOM: The very downstairs bedroom is locked off for owner usage.
PET FEE: If bringing a pet please contact us to pay the $35/day pet fee.
PET RULES: 1. Please pick up after your pet or you may incur a clean up fee. 2. Do not leave your pets unattended while in the home which is when pet damage is likely. 3. Please keep an eye on your pets while in the backyard as there could be holes in the fence or wildlife close by. 3. Keep your pets off the furniture and bedding as pet hair creates a lot of extra cleaning for the team. 4. You are financially responsible for any and all pet related damage including carpet stains and scratches on doors and furniture.
OLD HOT TUB: You may discover an old hot tub in the backyard. This is unfortunately non-functional but the owner has plans for this area! Stay tuned!

**QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD**
In Tahoe, it’s so quiet at night that you could hear a pin drop. We prefer to host quiet groups that will abide by all of the county laws. Appreciate your understanding!

**TRAVEL INSURANCE**
We highly recommend that all of our lovely guests purchase travel insurance, as we normally do not refund for Covid, smoke, fires, weather, snow storms, road closures, etc. 

**REVIEWS**
“If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” We please ask that you have some grace and compassion when leaving reviews and we will do the same when we review you. #spreadlovenothate

**WINTER TRAVEL WARNING**
During the Winter, it’s required by law that all vehicles in Tahoe carry chains, even 4WD vehicles. Given how much snow we’ve had, it’s not recommended you come in a low profile 2WD vehicle. Our roads are steep and icy so even when it’s not snowing, Tahoe is hard to navigate.

**POWER OUTAGES**
Power outages are very common in Tahoe. Tahoe homes do not have generators. Coming to Tahoe during the Winter requires a lot of patience and a sense of adventure.

**LATE CHECK OUT**
Please let us know 24 hours prior to check out, if you wish to request a late check out. First hour is free then $25/hour after that, not to exceed 1pm. Please note our cleaners sometimes travel for up to 1 hour to clean this home so please respect the 10am check out time. They arrive promptly at 10am.

**NO AC**
This home, like most in Tahoe, does not have AC but we do provide fans.

**FAMILY OWNED**
This home is owned by a family/private owner and not by an investor, so you will be renting someone’s home.

**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 strictly prohibited.

**BEARS**
Bears and other wildlife frequent this area so make sure to lock up when you leave the home, always lock your car doors, roll up car windows and view from afar.

**CRITTERS**
Spiders, cobwebs and little mountain mice are common in the mountains. 

**BBQ/DECKS**
The bbq is not serviced and the decks are not shovelled in the Winter.

**DAMAGE WAIVER**
Built into your clean fee is an “Accidental Damage Waiver Policy”. You are covered for anything seen as accidental and anything seen as neglectful, you will be charged for. It’s best to report all damage to us when it occurs.

**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 is never indoor cameras and the exterior ones are only monitored if violations occur. Most owners only look to see bears and snow levels 🙂

**SATISFACTION**
If you are in anyway not satisfied, please text our local team as we prefer to handle issues when you are here to ensure your stay with us is 5 star! Reporting issues after check out does not often result in a refund.
