About this property

Our property backs up to thousands of acres of great hiking, skiing and exploring.
We do not accept instant booking because we want to know reason for your visit to the area and our cabin.
Cabin instructions

• You will be given a code number for either the lockbox or the electronic deadbolt.
• Turn main water valve on. Valve is located inside the water heater closet behind the entry door. Turn left to turn on, turn right to turn off.
• Set furnace heat to whatever temp you want. Be sure to set it back to 55 when done.
• To open and close the motorized bear doors, use the paddle switch adjacent to the exterior light switches. Please close doors when leaving for the day or for more than a couple of hours, except in winter.

Fireplace instructions:
• When you arrive, shovel ashes into container to left of fireplace, only when completely cold.
• Don't try to start fire with the furnace going. The furnace creates a vacuum so the fire will not draw properly and ends up smoking out the cabin.
• Lever to the far right needs to be in the up position to create the most draw. After fire has been burning a good 45 minutes then it can be adjusted down to lessen the rate of burn.
• Always have fireplace door closed with handle locked and pointed away from glass.
• NEVER put hot ashes into the ash container provided. Leave them for the next person to put away cold.

Cleaning instructions:
• Strip the bed of sheets and pillow cases and leave in a pile on top of the bed that was used. (Unless requested to put in the washing machine)
• Wipe down all counter tops and tables.
• Clean and put away all dishes.
• Use the trash compactor for all trash and place all recycle items in approved blue bags. Place trash in the plastic can provided in the bear proof trash bin out near the road upon leaving or anytime during your stay. Place recycle bags next to the plastic can. Never leave garbage outside or out of the bear bin at any time.

Leaving instructions:
• Close/secure/lock all doors and windows.
• Turn off all lights except front porch.
• Check furnace setting. Set to 55.
• Turn main water valve off.
• Lock front door and put key back in lockbox.
• Please check out by 10am. (This allows time for cleaning before other guests arrive)

Great location for Palisades

We had a great stay. The only complaint is that online there said there was a sofa futon which there was not, and we had to take some old food out of the oven from a previous guest.

Great place in Tahoe!

We had a nice couple nights in the cabin! Perfect location for skiing at Squaw and Alpine. Slept everyone very well, loved all the fold down beds! Great place for families and friends on a ski trip.

It has it all

I knew this cabin would be great and it was. The foosball table was loads of fun, the movie collection, the fire, the poker game, the deck, the backyard sled runs, and certainly a billion feet of powder made this a very fun Tahoe adventure. We were a little disappointed by the bear bin outside being completely full, so we drove trash home, but the place was very clean and tidy for us on arrival. Would have loved to stay longer.
