Other Things to Note:
*Please note that it frequently snows in Lake Tahoe in the winter months and as this home is well above lake level on a hill it gets A LOT of snow. If you are renting this home from November through March, please remember that there may be winter driving conditions, and a 4-wheel drive with all-terrain tires or snow chains for your 2-wheel drive tires might be necessary for safe travel. In the winter, we strongly suggest a truck or SUV with AWD or 4WD and all-terrain tires. Even if it hasn’t snowed in a few days, side roads can still be icy and have snow on them.
*This is a child-friendly rental, but it is your responsibility to bring all of the necessary equipment for their safety and comfort. We do not provide cupboard locks.
*Please note that, like most homes in the area, this home does not have A/C.

*Please note that there is a ring camera installed at the front door.
*Please note that grills and outdoor furniture are not available during the months of November to April due to snow.
