Q: DO WE ALLOW EARLY CHECK-INS?
A: Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate early check-ins -- as it will not allow our housekeeper enough time to fully prepare the home for you.

Q: CAN I GET A LATE CHECK-OUT?
A: Unfortunately, we cannot grant late check-outs. Our housekeeper is on a tight schedule to clean multiple homes, and we cannot accommodate a late check-out request. Thank you for your understanding.

Q: IS THE PROPERTY ISOLATED?
A: The Property is located in a mountain community and is surrounded by neighboring cabins. The community itself is just a few blocks from the Lake.

PARKING: There is no street parking allowed (the county citations are $1,000 which are billed directly to VRBO guests) so please park ONLY in our designated parking area on the dirt/gravel clearing to the left of our steps. Make sure your vehicle is completely off the pavement. Be careful not to park anywhere else, like across the street - that property belongs to our neighbor's, and the county also cites the same $1,000 fine for parking on other home owner's property. Unfortunately, they are very tough on us, and code enforcement - for vehicles parked in the wrong area - will even respond in the middle of the night! They really want to issue those $1,000 fines, so please be careful! And I'll attach a photo example of where to park. If you have any questions, please message us.

** To reduce risk of wildfire during severe weather conditions, Southern California Edison reserves the right to temporarily cut electrical service to its customers, and we have no control over that. Our guests understand that there will be no refunds for power outages or internet/Wi-Fi interruptions and that they'll happily accept the unlikely inconvenience for the sake of preserving our forests!

Q: CAN I INVITE MORE PEOPLE THAN THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED LISTED?
A: Maximum occupancy does not only refer to the number a home can sleep, this is also the number of people allowed in the home at any given time. It is determined by the licensing authority based on the number of exits in the home and fire safety codes.

**San Bernardino County has codes that are strictly enforced. Be sure to abide by the maximum occupancy number for the home at ALL times.
