THINGS TO KNOW
- BEAR COUNTRY: Black Bears are frequently encountered near our cabin and are fun to watch as they walk by or occasionally play in the meadow behind our unit. If you see a bear DO NOT APPROACH THEM. Move away cautiously, Mother bears with their cubs are the most dangerous so stay away from their cubs.
- BE BEAR AWARE: Look out for them before you exit the cabin. They reside in the woods beyond the meadow. Do not leave food in your vehicle. Pick up all food eaten outdoors and on the deck. Do not leave food in plain site in the cabin when you are not around or sleeping. Do not leave coolers of any type in plain site of the windows of the cabin (recommend the laundry room or kitchen). At night or when away, close the curtains on the windows facing the meadow so bears can’t peek in to see items in the cabin. Always close the front and rear doors to the cabin to keep all wildlife out (Bears walk through open doors all the time).
- Outdoor wood-burning fires and charcoal grills are prohibited per local ordinances.
- Guests staying at a South Lake Tahoe rental must adhere to all City Ordinances. In addition to noise, trash disposal, and parking rules, maximum occupancy cannot be exceeded under any circumstance.

The good: In a good location, Recliners with massaging option was a good addition. Can sleep up to 8 people.The bad: Pet hair and dust on couch, no basic stuff like salt, sugar, oil in kitchen. Bathroom especially shower was very small.Points to note: While this house works for a short stay, you will not get a feel of clean spacious stay. Rather this is a cozy, old style house.

Thank you, Rejeesh, for sharing your thoughts about your stay with us. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the location and the massaging recliners—those are definitely a nice touch for relaxation after a day of exploring South Lake Tahoe.
We truly appreciate your feedback regarding the cleanliness and kitchen supplies. It’s important to us that our guests feel comfortable and at home, and we’re sorry to hear that we fell short in those areas. We’ll make sure to address the pet hair and dust, as well as ensure that the kitchen is stocked with the basics for future guests.
We understand that the cozy, old-style charm of the house may not be for everyone, but we hope it provided a warm atmosphere for your short stay. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you back in the future, perhaps to a different property that better suits your needs. Thank you again for your insights; they help us improve and provide the best experience possible.
