You do not need to enter a policy number. Here you will find the complete details of what Travel Insurance will cover.

Pet Policy
Pets are allowed only at properties that indicate Pets Considered in the amenities tab. If you are planning to bring your pet, please conduct your search specifically for a home that is pet-friendly. Prior written approval is required, and a pet fee applies. Please call our office to inquire about your pet, as homes may have varying policies.

County Rules
Each county requires we inform you of the rules and regulations relevant to your home's Short Term Rental Permit. We thank you in advance for abiding by the rules below, also included in your signed in the Vacation Rental Agreement.

Maximum Occupancy: There shall be no gatherings, events, weddings or other group functions on the Premises with more people than the number of persons stated on the Agreement.
Parking: Parking on the street is prohibited at all times. All cars, boats, and trailers must be parked in the garage and/or driveway.

Quiet Hours: Quiet hours are 9pm-8am, seven days a week, Noise carries easier and further in higher elevations and over water. Per the ordinance: No sound from the vacation rental home shall be audible from the parcel line during this time. Noise shall be minimized in order that it not be an unreasonable annoyance, disturbance or nuisance to neighbors.

Lights Out: All exterior lights that are not needed for safety must be turned off between the hours of 10pm-7am, seven days a week. Per the Ordinance: All exterior lights must be turned off that are not needed for safety or other outdoor use to the extent that such other outdoor use is not an unreasonable nuisance to neighbors.

Red Flag Warnings: Due to extreme fire danger, bonfires, charcoal barbecues 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 winds, 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. All outdoor fires are prohibited, both gas and wood. It is your responsibility to be informed of Red Flag Warnings. You will see signs on the front of all fire district stations, hear about it on the news, see it on social media and hear about it on the radio.

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. Make sure the chains are the proper size for your tires and are in working order. You may find valuable winter driving tips from the CHP here: https://bit.ly/3IKiY7n

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.

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.

Office Holiday Hours
The TLUXP office is closed on New Year’s Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Therefore, we are unable to accommodate check-ins and check-outs on these dates. Thank you for understanding.

Wonderful Lake Side house

We loved staying at Black Bear cottage. The house was stocked with all the amenities and was cozy and clean. The best part was the big yard and lake access which was perfect for our little kids. The large garage was great for storing our gear and the apartment above it was a nice extra sleeping space. Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be back!

Outstanding View - Couple of Issues

Right on the lake - the views were spectacular. Very clean though main house was a little dated. A little confusing in that some of the rooms pictured were separate from main house above garage. These were newer and in great condition. Beds and bedding were top of the line . Plenty of kitchen ware and all appliances worked perfectly. Outside furniture a bit worn out. Biggest problem was fireplace which we needed even in May. Smoked up the whole house. Mgmt came twice but was unable to fix. All in all a nice stay in spite of that as the outside setting and view made up for some of the indoor shortcomings.

Perfect place to relax!

Our family wanted to visit Lake Tahoe and stay somewhere where we didn’t have to go anywhere else if we didn’t want to. This location was amazing! From the split living areas to the back porch sunrise views to the private beach access for paddle boarding to the well-appointed kitchen, this place had everything we were looking for.

Clean with a beautiful view. Like WOW!

This has to be the nicest place we've ever stayed in Lake Tahoe. The view from the dining room and couch is breathtaking. It was nice to have a separate living area above the garage for guests. It might sound weird but the couch and chairs were actually really comfortable and just added to the beautiful view out the window. There was a really nice walkway along the beach right outside the property which was so nice to walk. Would recommend this place to anyone! A little bit on the pricy side for us, but once we saw the view, it made sense :)
