Bear Safety 

Black bears are active in both Lake Tahoe and Truckee. Improper food storage can lead to serious property damage and safety issues. Do not leave food, trash, or scented items outdoors or in your vehicle. Always lock the doors and windows of the home and your car when unattended. Intentionally leaving food out for bears is illegal. Review our Bear Aware Addendum for more information on staying safe and protecting our local wildlife. 

Boating: Buoys & Piers 

If your rental includes buoy or pier access, please refer to the Buoy, Mooring Line, and Pier Addendum for full details. 

• Piers are for pick-up/drop-off only (max 30 minutes). Never leave boats unattended or anchored without supervision. 
• Lake Tahoe water levels varying depending on seasonal snowfall, affecting the depth for safe pier access.

Winter Driving (Nov 1st – April 30th) 

Driving in the snow-covered mountains of California and Nevada can be both enjoyable and occasionally challenging. Roads and driveways may be steep or icy, and conditions can change quickly. To ensure safe and smooth travel, the California Highway Patrol offers valuable winter driving tips. You can find more information from the CHP here. Make sure your vehicle is winter-ready, with brakes, tires, wipers, and the heater all in top condition. All vehicles, including AWD/4WD, should carry properly-sized tire chains.
