Wildlife: Remember that Lake Tahoe and Truckee is a mountain/forest community and animals, rodents, and insects are a part of that. Your rental property is inspected before your arrival; however, we cannot guarantee that the property will be free of pests.

We cannot offer credits for these situations but contact us with any issues and we will send someone over right away.

Snow Removal: While we do our best to have the driveway cleared of snow (in winter) for your check-in, delays can happen if snow occurs just prior to/during your arrival or if city plows leave a berm (snowbank) blocking the driveway. We clear snow from driveways and paths to entry after 6 inches of snow accumulates. Each home is supplied with at least 1 shovel. You will be responsible for keeping areas cleared of snow during your stay. Please contact us if assistance is required. No credits can be issued due to inconvenience with snow removal.

If something stops working during your stay, notify us and we will do everything possible to get it working right away. No amenity is guaranteed, and we cannot issue refunds or cancel due to an unusable amenity. Please note that it may take some time for the refrigerator to cool after you add items because it was empty prior to your arrival. If your property has a propane BBQ and you run out of propane, please contact us and we will bring over a full tank.
