Winter Driving Many highways, access roads and/or driveways are steep in Tahoe/Truckee and may be icy in the winter. To ensure your safety, it is critical that during November 1st - April 30th brakes, windshield wipers, defroster, heater and exhaust system are in top condition. Tires need to be properly inflated and the tread must be in excellent condition. Always carry tire chains, even if driving an AWD/4WD vehicle.

Summer Patio Furniture Patio furniture is available for your use during summer months only. All outdoor tables, chairs and loungers are put into storage in the fall, in order to protect the furnishings from winter weather. Barbecue grills, however, do remain outside for your enjoyment.
Be Bear Aware Black bears are very common in this area and have become habituated to human food and garbage. Because bears no longer have a strong fear of humans, you may encounter bears during your spring, summer and fall stays. Feeding bears is illegal. Leaving food outside, trash accessible, or doors and windows unlocked is likely to cause significant property damage to homes and to vehicles. Please take a moment to learn how to be Bear Aware, so that we can continue to live in harmony with our wildlife.

Greetings Lori,
We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay with us at Sunset Blue and hope we can welcome you back as our guests again soon. Thank you for staying with us in Lake Tahoe!
We had a wonderful stay and the home was absolutely amazing. Loved the location & that it was water front. The only drawback was the lack of AC on the hot days, but they did have fans for us to use! Would definitely stay there again!!
Getting to Lake Tahoe was easy, when we arrived at our vacation rental: the access was easy. This house is amazing, very comfortable and peaceful.

Greetings Cynthia,
We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay with us at Sunset Blue and found the home comfortable. We hope to host you again in the future, thank you for staying with us in Lake Tahoe!
Beautiful home located on the water with close proximity to restaurants. Our concierge was a huge help in accommodating 3 massage therapists, who were amazing and we also enjoyed a private chef, Chef Nick, who we enjoyed to the fullest!
This house has everything and the location is great. We had two families and it easily accommodated us. The communication with the rental team was great. The views from every level of this home are wonderful. We would highly recommend this house!
Great home with beautiful lake views. Well set up for large group. The kitchen was beautiful with high end appliances. Large dining room was comfortable and we enjoyed many meals in the house. Large deck and family room allowed us to spend time together inside and out. We also enjoyed the use of the paddle board and kayak on the lake.

Greetings Christopher,
We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay and found the home comfortable for your group. Thank you for staying with us, we hope to host you again soon!
We enjoyed staying at this home on the lake! We’ve been to Tahoe many times, and stayed on the lake before with beautiful views-but not quite like this. The views were breathtaking. Additionally, the kitchen was well stocked with spices and pots and pans. The layout of the home worked well for our family/teens. The teens enjoyed the game room downstairs. The shower in the master bedroom has great water pressure! The tubs in the other bathrooms might need to be repainted soon, as the paint seems to peeling. The kids had to put towels down, but eventually ended up using the master bathroom showers. Overall, loved the home and would love to come back!
