Your safety and the protection of our beautiful Tahoe environment are our top priorities. Please review these essential guidelines during your stay:

General Fire Restrictions (Incline Village & Crystal Bay, NV):

No Open Burning: Seasonal open burning (wood, slash, or needle piles) is strictly prohibited.

No Recreational Fires at Rental Properties: Recreational fires (e.g., in fire pits, using wood or charcoal) are NOT permitted on short-term rental properties, even with a permit.

Barbecue Grilling (Gas, Propane, Charcoal, Pellet):

Barbecuing is allowed, but must strictly adhere to manufacturer's guidelines and these safety tips:

Outdoor Use Only: Grills must always be used outdoors, far away from the house, deck railings, eaves, or overhanging branches.

Clearance: Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the grill.

Cleanliness: Always keep your grill clean, free of grease or fat buildup.

Never Unattended: Do not leave a lit grill unattended.

Lid Open: Always ensure the grill lid is open before lighting.

Propane Grill Specifics:

Leak Check: Before first use each year (or if moving/reconnecting), check the gas tank hose for leaks. Apply a light soap and water solution to the hose; a leak will release bubbles.

Gas Smell/Leak: If you smell gas while cooking, or if a leak (by smell or bubbles) does not stop, immediately turn off the gas tank and grill, leave the grill, and call the fire department (Do NOT move the grill). If the leak stops after turning off, the grill must be serviced by a professional before using it again.

Flame Goes Out: If the flame goes out during use, turn the grill and gas off and wait at least 15 minutes before re-lighting.

Charcoal Grill Specifics:

Non-Combustible Surface: Charcoal grills are prohibited on combustible surfaces.

Starting Charcoal: Use charcoal chimney starters with newspaper or electric charcoal starters (ensure an outdoor-rated extension cord if needed). NEVER use charcoal starter fluid or any other flammable liquids.

Safe Disposal: When finished, let the coals cool completely before disposing of them in a metal container.

Red Flag Warnings: NO OPEN FLAME OF ANY KIND

During Red Flag Warnings, absolutely NO open flame of any kind is allowed, including all types of grilling (gas, propane, charcoal, pellet, etc.). Fire restrictions may differ on Federal land. Please be aware of current fire condition

A specialized department known as the "Vacation Rental Task Force" has been established within our City's police department to address issues related to noise, parking, occupancy, trash, and after-hours hot tub use violations. We kindly request your cooperation in adhering to the rules and regulations we have outlined to ensure that we can continue hosting guests in the future without jeopardizing this privilege.

Once the assessment is complete, we will initiate the necessary repair or replacement activities as soon as possible. The cost of repairs or replacement will be charged to the responsible guest's account or security deposit, depending on the circumstances.

Beat the Heat with Our Evaporative Coolers!

Looking for a refreshing way to cool down during your stay? Look no further than our convenient in-room evaporative coolers! These eco-friendly coolers use the power of evaporation to provide a cool and comfortable breeze.

Here's how to use your evaporative cooler:

Location, Location, Location: Place the cooler near a window or door for optimal airflow. This allows warm air to be drawn out while cool air circulates in the room.

Fill 'Er Up: Open the water tank and fill it with clean water. For an extra cooling boost, add ice packs or ice cubes from the freezer (located in [freezer location, e.g., kitchen]).

Power Up: Plug the cooler's cord into a nearby outlet.

Cool Control: Use the control buttons (or remote control if provided) to adjust settings like power, fan speed, and cooling mode.

Ventilation is Key: Remember to open a window or door slightly to allow for proper ventilation and air circulation. This ensures hot air is expelled and cool air fills the room.

Pro Tip: For an extra refreshing experience, we've provided ice packs in the freezer that you can add to the water tank!

Additional Notes:

Evaporative coolers work best in dry climates.

Regularly changing the water in the tank helps maintain performance and prevent mold growth.

If you have any questions about using the evaporative coolers, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Cool Fact: Tahoe's Mountain Magic Keeps You Comfortable!

Many people wonder about air conditioning (A/C) at our place in Tahoe. Here's a surprising fact: Less than 5% of homes here actually have it!

Why? Because Tahoe's unique location provides natural air conditioning most of the year. Here's the secret:

High Elevation, Cool Evenings: Tahoe's mountain altitude means cooler temperatures. Even during the hottest summer days, the temperature drops significantly (around 40 degrees!) at night.

Open Windows, Fresh Air: Keeping windows open at night allows cool mountain air to circulate throughout the house, naturally cooling the space.

Safe Mountain Community: Tahoe boasts a very safe environment. Residents, including myself, leave windows open overnight with complete peace of mind.

So, you can relax, open those windows, turn on the fans, and enjoy the refreshing mountain air!

Enjoy the convenience of a stove top oven during your stay! Whether you're cooking a hearty meal after a day on the slopes or baking a tasty treat, this fully equipped appliance makes meal prep a breeze. Feel right at home and get creative in the kitchen!

Your home away from home comes equipped with a fridge, perfect for storing your snacks, drinks, and any leftovers from your adventures. Whether you're grabbing a quick breakfast or keeping your favorite beverages chilled, you’ll have everything you need right at your fingertips!

I want to inform you that our home is not pet-friendly, and we regret that we cannot accommodate pets during your stay. We understand that traveling with pets is important to many guests, but at this particular property, we have policies in place that do not allow pets.

Thank you for considering our properties for your stay!

Please place full trash bags in the dumpster located to the right of the parking lot. The dumpster are labeled " Creekside West Homeowners ".

Dumping large items is not permitted, and all cardboard must be broken down and placed in the cardboard-only dumpster.

The South Tahoe Refuse Center no longer sorts through the trash or separates recyclables at the refuse center so recyclables MUST be placed in a SEPARATE trash bag.

Ensure that all recyclables are EMPTY, CLEAN, and DRY before disposal.

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE TRASH OUTSIDE. The fine for leaving trash outside is $1,000 per city ordinance.

Ensure that the bear box is properly closed AT ALL TIMES.

Bear Box Location

A community dumpster is located near the entrance of the condominium complex.

Please ensure that all enclosures are securely latched to prevent bears from gaining access.
