**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 be courteous of the neighbors. 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 you review this home 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 in recent years, 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.

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

**TOWELS**
We supply one bath towel and one wash cloth per permitted occupant and then one hand towel per bathroom. If you think you will need more then please bring with you.

**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 🙂

WINTER TRAVEL ADVISORY
(The following pertains to all homes in Tahoe and not just this one)
A typical storm in Tahoe can drop anywhere from 1-3 feet in 24 hours so if you haven’t been to Tahoe during a heavy Winter, please be prepared. The roads and driveways are plowed about once a day up here so if it’s snowed recently, you WILL arrive to snow on the driveway. Since street parking is not allowed, you will need to drive over the snow either using chains or with your 4WD engaged. Especially after the historic Winter of 2023, we do not recommend coming to Tahoe unless you have a higher clearance 4WD vehicle with snow tires, tire chains AND experience driving in the snow. ‘All weather’ tires are not the same as snow tires. Even if it’s not actively snowing, our roads can be steep and icy. Power outages are also common. The Grand Welcome difference is we have a very experienced local team and trusted vendors who are here to help you during your stay – as long as safety allows for us to do so.
