This ski and Summer chalet is a great example of a Tahoe home with no frills! This 3 bedroom home sleeps 6 and has parking for up to 4 vehicles - 2 on the driveway and 2 in the garage. Kiddos don’t count in the occupancy, just bring towels/bedding and they can sleep on the couch :). This chalet is located in the very safe, centralised neighborhood called Montgomery Estates at the top of Cold Creek Trail. Our favourite part is the deck with hot tub that joins the movie room above the garage to the main house. There is a lot to do in South Lake Tahoe - let this home be your jumping off point!

**HIGHLIGHTS**
Hot tub
Large movie room over garage

**HOME NUISANCES**
- Sleeps 6: Queen bed, queen bed & twin trundle (best for kiddos)
- While this home has some updates, it’s mainly original but has some good Tahoe charm.
- Cold Creek Trail is pretty steep so in the Winter the need for 4WD is emphasised.
- There are quite a few stairs to get to the front door.

**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.
