Wintertime:
Please avoid parking on the road since the plow may hit and damage or vehicle and it`s against local ordinances. There is a free shuttle service that will pick you up at the house and drive you to the resort on weekends. (You just need to download the `Mountaineer` app).
If you need to make space for trash, you can put it in the bear bin at the driveway. But this is not required for checking out. Please make sure the bear bin is shut properly at all times to keep bears and other wildlife away.
If you`re looking for a local breakfast spot or fine dining, then we have Crest Cafe and River Ranch that are 5 minutes away. Otherwise, you`re looking at 20 minutes to Truckee and 10 minutes to Tahoe City for more food options. We`re happy to recommend spots to check out!

GUESTS
If you`re thinking about inviting friends over, please reach out and ask us. We`re easygoing about inviting a couple of friends over for brunch or dinner, but we want to be considerate of other neighbors in case you are thinking of inviting more than a couple of friends.
Hot tub: The hot tub is on a first come first serve basis. We`ve left opening and closing instructions along with hot tub guidelines inside the unit. Please review before use. We just ask you to be considerate of other guests if they are waiting to use the hot tub, as we ask that they do the same for you as well :)
IMPORTANT NOTE: No jets allowed in the hot tub during quiet hours.
