Washoe County permit number: WSTR24-0122
Transient lodging tax license number: W-5177

****Important Vehicle/Safety Requirements****
Due to the steep slope and turn on the driveway, we strongly advise using an all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicle with snow-rated tires for better traction, especially during winter months. The turnaround area at the top of the driveway is gravel, and it is essential to have an AWD/4WD vehicle to avoid the risk of getting stuck.
We recommend using the turnaround area to back into the carport, which will make exiting much easier. However, please be aware that parking in the turnaround area is prohibited due to county regulations, as it is unpaved and gravel. Thank you for your understanding!

This beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is your ideal retreat for all seasons, offering a blend of comfort, adventure, and relaxation. Take in breathtaking peek-a-boo views of Lake Tahoe surroundings from the open-concept living space, featuring vaulted ceilings and a cozy fireplace. With high-end furnishings, modern decor, and all the comforts of home, including A/C and 500+mbps high speed internet, you'll find everything you need for a memorable stay. The immersion shower is perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration, while the fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances makes meal prep a breeze. Relax with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine as you soak in the serene mountain and lake views.

Other things to note:
> Our fireplace is a gas-powered stove that requires not-so-straightforward operating knowledge. For safety reason (to prevent accidental gas leak), it's currently serving as a decoration only. Please do not attempt to turn it on. For heating purpose, the house has central heating, mini-splits (heating & cooling), and a portable heater/cooler.

> The Incline Village private beaches will no longer be available to renters. Public beaches like Sand Harbor (4 miles) and Kings Beach (7 miles) are all open to the public.

> Internet and power are very consistent but because of the infrastructure and terrain, outages do happen at a higher rate than most big cities are used to.

> The home has central heating, but it can and it's normal to have up to 5 degrees Fahrenheit difference between first and second floor due to the nature of hot air traveling a longer distance in the ducts.
