Guest access
Our family splits our time between Grass Valley and Tahoma, and the Lily Pad is our primary home. Since we're here so often, you'll notice the warmth the second you walk in. You'll notice a fully stocked kitchen and many more amenities that are often overlooked in a standard vacation rental. We're tapping into the original vacation home experience.

Since we do spend so much time here, you'll notice a couple of locked doors: the primary bedroom closet, our son's bedroom, a hutch in the living room, and the garage. Don't worry about what's behind the locked doors: most of it is just the dirty laundry we didn't get to before your arrival. lol.

You'll have full access to 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, the laundry room and the kitchen/living area. Plenty of space for 2 couples. There is a queen sized air mattress that can be put in the living room for 2 more people.
Other things to note
Hi! We're the Niemans. :) A couple things for you to know before you rent our place:

~We have 2 outdoor cats who love snuggles and would love it if you fed them in the mornings, but we can arrange something else if you'd prefer. 2 of our family members are extremely allergic to cats, so they are absolutely NOT allowed inside.

~We also have 2 dogs who will always be with us. We thought hard about allowing other dogs into the home, but have decided to not allow guest dogs. We don't want anyone to worry about accidents, or any damage that dogs can accidentally cause. Please note: a $500 cleaning fee will be imposed for any dogs snuck into the house. Also, if you have a dog allergy, you will probably not be comfortable here.

~Though we'll most likely be in Tahoe while you're here, we do have family members and friends who live nearby and can be available to help you with any unforeseen issue.

~PGE is in charge of our power: not us. We are not responsible for power outages during your stay, and will not refund the rate in the event of a power outage.
