During Your Stay
Parking and Snow Removal
During winter, driveway snow removal is provided. Please be patient with plow drivers (they are vital to us all!) during severe storms, as they work hard to keep up with snow accumulation. Be sure you know the local laws regarding winter parking. Do not park on the street as you could get fined and/or be towed. Driving conditions may be hazardous as well. Please be prepared and take it slowly. Tahoe Vacation Rentals will shovel walkways, stairs and hot tubs on the day of arrival, but will not return during your stay.
Maintenance and Housekeeping
Our maintenance and housekeeping staff work hard to ensure your vacation home is in tip-top condition. If you should discover otherwise, please report it to us immediately and we will do our best to correct it as soon as possible. Immediately notify our office at 530-583-3550.
