Tahoe Donner is a quaint, family oriented community perfectly situated near some of the best ski resorts in Tahoe (Northstar, Palisades, and Sugar Bowl). We are on a major road with good snow plowing during the winter months. In the summer, it's only a 10 minute drive down to Donner Lake. There are also tons of running and biking trails right down the street, in addition to a beautiful golf course.

*Our home does not provide access to Tahoe Donner amenities.

Guests will have access to the entire home (with the exception of a couple locked closets/cabinets).

There is room for 2 cars in the garage and 2 in the driveway.
Parking on the street is prohibited at all times. All cars, boats and trailers must be parked in the home's designated parking spots. Cars will be towed at guest's expense if parked on the street.

EV CHARGER:
We prefer that our guests only use the EV charger at night.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOUR STAY:
- BEARS & WILDLIFE: As you enjoy your mountain getaway, it is important to know how to be "Bear Aware". All trash must be kept in the Bear Box located at the end of the driveway with the bear box latch secured. Any trash or food left outside will attract bears and other wildlife to the home. No food, drinks or anything scented can be left in cars. Bears have and will break into vehicles if they smell or see these items. Leaving dirty dishes in the kitchen/the sink can attract wildlife. Resources can be found in the home's digital guidebook.
- OUTDOOR FURNITURE: Outdoor furniture may not be available in the winter months (October - May).
- HOT TUB CLEANINGS: We schedule hot tub cleanings ahead of all guest arrivals. In the event the hot tub is serviced on the day of your arrival, the spa may still be heating up due to a recent cleaning. If you notice the spa is not hot when you get to the house, please notify us so we can check with the company to confirm this is expected.
- DAYTIME OCCUPANCY: Daytime occupancy preference is to match overnight occupancy maximum.
- RED FLAG WARNINGS: Due to extreme fire danger, bonfires, charcoal BBQs and wood-burning fire pits are strictly prohibited. On Red Flag Warning Days, when fire hazards are especially dangerous, typically due to dry conditions and high winders, additional restrictions are imposed by the North Tahoe Fire Protection District and prohibited. You cannot use outdoor gas grills or gas fire pits during Red Flag Warnings. It is your responsibility (the guest) to be informed of Red Flag Warnings.
- SNOW REMOVAL: Plows will go out when a minimum of 4 inches of snow accumulates before 7am. If a storm rolls in later in the day, the driveway may not be plowed until the following morning. They get started early in the morning and could arrive before daybreak. Plows will not return to clear the county berm if roads are plowed after the driveway is done. Snow shovelers will clear the entryway, decks, hot tub and bear box prior to guest arrival but do not come out during a guest’s stay. We have shovels and ice melt in the garage. If the guest would like to hire someone to shovel for them, they can contact the snow shoveler directly.

BEFORE YOU CHECK OUT:
- SET THERMOSTAT
Turn the thermostat down to 55.
- TOWELS
Gather all used towels. You do not have to start them in the washing machine, but it is a huge help to our cleaning team if you can.
- START THE DISHWASHER
Load the dishwasher. You do not have to start it, but it is a huge help to our cleaning team if you can. Because we are in bear country, along with other mountain pests, we don't want dirty dishes left in the sink.
- TRASH AND RECYCLING GO OUT TO THE BEAR BOX
Trash goes into trash bags and into the plastic garbage cans in the bear box. Recycling should be separated out and placed in the blue recycling bags. The blue recycling bags should be placed in the bear box, but outside of the bins inside of the box so they are not mixed with the trash. Make sure you secure the bear box fully after placing your garbage and recycling in it - we do not want the bears getting into it! No trash can be left outside of the home or bear box.
- OUTDOOR ITEMS
Confirm the propane is turned off on the BBQ and fire pit.
- LOCK DOORS AND WINDOWS + TURN OFF ALL LIGHTS
Ensure all doors and windows are locked and turn off all lights. Return the garage door opener to the blue bowl on the bar. Return keys to lockboxes.
