OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE

✹ Winter Travel & Hillside Access: Lake Tahoe gets significant snow, and our home is located on a hillside with steeper gradients. During winter months, 4WD/AWD vehicles with high clearance are highly recommended to safely navigate the area, and carrying snow chains is often required by Caltrans.

✹ Premium Starter Supplies Provided: We provide a quality starter set of premium soaps, shampoo, conditioner, paper products, and kitchen essentials to ensure your first night is completely seamless.

✹ A Peaceful Mountain Neighborhood: Wander House is a dedicated family-friendly retreat located in a quiet residential area of Heavenly Valley. We love our neighbors, and the home is optimized to be a peaceful, relaxing basecamp for active groups and families rather than a party venue.

✹ Strict Local Laws & Guest Fines: To preserve the neighborhood's peace, the City of South Lake Tahoe operates a strict "zero-tolerance" policy and issues immediate $1,000 citations directly to guests for violations (with no warnings). Per our rental agreement, any matching owner fines will be passed on to you. Fines are automatically triggered by: hot tub use or outdoor music between 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM, street parking (all cars must be on the paved driveway/garage), leaving trash outside the bear boxes, or exceeding occupancy (maximum of 8 adults plus up to 5 children aged 13 or under)

✹ Smart Monitoring & Privacy: For safety and city permit compliance, the property features exterior security cameras (monitoring the driveway, trash boxes, and open backyard/hot tub patio) and 100% privacy-safe, decibel-only noise monitors. No video or audio is ever recorded inside private living spaces or inside the private sauna.

✹ House Policies:

- No Shoes: To keep out snowmelt, pine sap, and trail dust, please remove outdoor shoes at the door. Feel free to use the boot warmers in the garage!

- No Smoking: Wander House is strictly smoke- and vape-free indoors and on the exterior decks due to high wildfire risks.

✹ Rental Agreements & Rules: To secure your stay, guests must sign our standard rental agreement and the mandatory South Lake Tahoe "Good Neighbor Contract," as well as meet the city's minimum booking age of 25.

Host profile image
Hi! We’re Pauline & Darryl.

After years of visiting Tahoe with our three kids, we finally bought our own place: Wander House. It’s our new family getaway—where we head for snowboarding and trail adventures, and gather to unwind.

We wanted a space that felt cozy and personal, and our hope is that Wander House becomes a second home for you, too—a place to return to season after season for your own memories.

We’re always a message away and love sharing our favorite spots. Reach out anytime!
