**HOME NUISANCES**
- Entryway waterfall works intermittently. It requires a special kind of water. There is a switch for it on the wall but please don’t let kids play with it.
- This home has hydronic heating which takes a while to heat up. We leave it at 65+ for your arrival then you will want to turn up all 3 thermostats to your liking.
- The upper deck off the laundry room sometimes leaks into the kitchen in heavy snow years. Please let us know if this happens.
- This home has a smoke alarm system that will automatically alert the fire department so if you set off the smoke alarms open windows, turn on fans and wave a towel in front of them right away.

**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.
