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\. The hot tub cannot be used after 10pm (if this home has one) 2\. 10pm - 8am is the county quiet time for all rentals. 3\. Trash cannot be left outside and must go into the bear box. 4\. We cannot host extra people or allow parties. 5\. 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 do reserve the right to ask guests to leave this home. This is a very rare occurrence and one we hate doing so we do our best to warn our guests before it comes to this. 6\. The number of overnight occupants shall not exceed two persons per permitted bedroom. Children six years of age or older are counted towards the occupancy limits. Interaction with Guests: You will check in by going right to the home using our keyless entry system. Your door code is the last 4 digits of your booking phone number followed by the check mark button that will activate at 4pm. Make sure to pull the door toward you when you put the code in to ensure the deadbolt is aligned. We have a 24 hour customer care team and a local team available during business hours. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Things to do - Foosball table - Casino nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,835 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89960000/89956200/89956169/32f159e9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Higher-end Tahoe Mountain Home: Hot Tub, Dining Table for 10, Fire Place, EV Charger, Bunk Beds Pioneer Trail - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 9.0 Wonderful 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-15&endDate=2026-01-16&selected=89956169&PinnedHotelID=89956169&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (4 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93200000/93198500/93198414/02c220a9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 6 Mi to Lake Tahoe: Home w/ Hot Tub & Views!

Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeannie H. 2 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy I would definitely rent this property again... the online description under described the bed count, would have liked that to be more clear before arriving.Location was awesome, the amenities were great. (Note that master BR shower not senior friendly- large step to enter.)The garbage pick up was a little confusing as it would seem there is separate recycle pick up day but doesn't alway coincide with your stay.Quiet neighborhood, no issue with the neighbors. Never needed to contact host during stay. Check out instructions vague, but expect cleaning crew to come in post stay.Online max said 8 people, but could easily handle more.I would work with host next time on allowing a few extra people during our stay. Thank you for hosting us, we had a great time. ##### Jeannie H.

Fireplace didn’t work while we were there but everything else worked fine. There management company is really great and accommodating. ##### Chelsea B. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephen M. 29 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### House was great for our group This house was great for fitting everyone in our family and friends group. The only problem was there was no AC and the fridge raider wasn’t working. Being that there was no AC we had to open up all windows to try to get a breeze and we were contacted by the managers to keep the noise under control. We reported the fridge raider not working but got nothing in response. I highly recommend that this listing makes it known that there is no AC. ##### Stephen M.
