HOME TRUTHS:
☆Outdoor furniture may not be available in the winter months (October - May).
☆ No Air Conditioning: Like most homes in Lake Tahoe, our cabin does not have air conditioning.
☆ Uncontrollable Circumstances: We are not responsible for poor air quality during wildfire season or snow during winter months. Winter travel may require 4WD, chains, or snow tires. We recommend purchasing trip insurance for additional protection.
☆ One lesson we've learned about the great outdoors is the frequent requirement to wipe down the deck furniture. Despite our efforts to maintain the utmost cleanliness for your convenience, it seems that nature is working against us. You may need to wipe down the outdoor table, chairs, and any other outdoor seating. The dust and pollen accumulates within a matter of hours.
☆ Our home has one bathroom.
