Christmas Valley Chalet

Christmas Valley Chalet

With an abundance of amenities just a short distance away, your days will be filled with exploration! Head out the front door and walk to forested trails where you truly escape your daily life and become one with nature. When you’re ready for a day on the water, you have your choice of exciting locations between nearby Lake Baron, Lower Echo Lake, Fallen Leaf Lake, and of course popular Lake Tahoe. In the winter, the multiple thrilling ski resorts that frame the area are a quick car ride away. When you need a day of relaxing at your new home away from home, you can still enjoy the fresh air on the large deck, ideal for sunbathing, grilling, or catching up on your reading list.

Indoors, you’ll find the perfect cozy cabin atmosphere, with stunning wood ceilings and rustic accents extending an invitation from the outdoors. A comfortable living room features ample sofa seating and a smart TV, creating an optimal scene for an immersive movie night. Between the living room and kitchen, the gas fireplace provides warmth and ambiance to the whole room on cooler nights and months. A dining room table with soft seating for 6 offers a place for formal meals as well as a rousing night of games. Steps away, the fully equipped kitchen with creamy countertops, sage cabinets, and subway tile backsplash is complete with stainless steel appliances, a drip coffee maker, and all the cookware and dining ware you and your guests will need for any type of meal.

LOCATION
Located in South Lake Tahoe, this home is close to all the fun attractions Lake Tahoe, Meyers, and Echo Lake have to offer. Tube Tahoe is located in Meyers which is South Lake’s prime tubing spot in the Winter. Here you are about 30 minutes to Kirkwood ski resort and 10 minutes to Sierra at Tahoe ski resort and 20 minutes from Heavenly ski resort. You are right off Highway 50 so no sitting in traffic on Sunday mornings to leave. In the summer, you are within a short distance to Paradise Park and Lake Baron which is a local’s best-kept secret. When Lake Tahoe beaches are full, this is where we go to play. Holiday Market is the closest grocery store which is less than a 5-minute drive. The Divided Sky, 3 minutes away, is one of our favorite places to eat. Meyers also has tasty restaurants like Getaway Cafe, Frescana, Bob Dog Pizza, and Sombreros. If you’re in the mood to try your luck, casinos are 20 minutes away. Last but not least, Lake Tahoe is a short 15-minute drive away!

TAHOE RENTAL ORDINANCE
The following laws were set forth by the county and apply to every home in Tahoe. They were put in place to keep Lake Tahoe an enjoyable and safe place to visit for years to come! 🙂
1. 10pm - 8am is the county quiet time for all rentals.
2. Trash cannot be left outside and must go into the bear box.
3. We cannot host extra people or allow parties.
4. We cannot accomodate extra cars, parking on the street or dirt.
PLEASE NOTE: Neighbors may alert the police who will issue fines to guests found to be in violation. In order to protect this owner’s permit, we reserve the right to ask guests to leave if this happens.

IMPORTANT INFO
- QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD: In Tahoe it’s so quiet at night that you could hear a pin drop! As a result, we can only host quieter groups that will abide by all of the county laws. Our guests are normally fine as long as they head inside or to the casinos after 10pm. Appreciate your understanding!
- KEEP TAHOE BLUE: Please help us keep Tahoe a natural wonder by appropriately disposing of trash when visiting our beaches and trails. If you pack it in, please pack it out.
- REVIEWS: We kindly ask for understanding and compassion when sharing feedback about this home, just as we strive to approach responding to reviews with empathy. We understand that experiences can vary, and what might not meet one person's expectations could exceed another person’s expectations. Your reviews have a lasting impact on the home and its owner, who are real people behind the scenes. We genuinely value your input and appreciate constructive feedback that can help us enhance our offerings.
- 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. 
- WINTER TRAVEL ADVISORY: After the historic Winter of 2023, we recommend 4WD vehicles with snow tires, tire chains and experience driving in the snow. Emphasis on snow tires. Tahoe roads are icy and power outages are common. Please always wear snow boots and walk with care on icy pathways.
- BBQ/DECKS IN WINTER: Due to snow levels and freezing temps, BBQs are not serviced and decks are not shovelled during the Winter but if you can dig it out and there is propane - feel free to use!
- 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 we ask that you please respect the 10am check out time.
- NO AC: Like most homes in Tahoe, there is no AC but we do provide plenty of fans.
- HIGH FIRE RISK: Lake Tahoe is a high-risk fire area. Fireworks, wood fire pits, smoking/improper disposal of cigarette butts and charcoal bbq’s are prohibited.
- BLACK BEARS: Black bears inhabit Lake Tahoe and are attracted to food and trash. Always lock your car doors, roll up windows and view from afar. Please do not feed our bears.
- TOWELS: We supply one bath towel, one wash cloth per occupant and then one hand towel per bathroom.
- 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. Most owners only look to see bears and snow levels at their homes 🙂
- MOUNTAIN CRITTERS: It’s not uncommon at any home in Tahoe to find little mountain mice, spiders, spider webs, ants, mosquitos, etc. Our homes have on-going extermination services but despite our best efforts, these little critters might make their way inside. If found it doesn’t mean a home is dirty, let us know and we will do our best to mitigate such findings.

Thank you and happy travels!
