(See #35 below) OUR CABIN LOCATION: In the Lake Tahoe basin, Emerald Bay Rd/Hwy 89 was built long ago and is the only road around the lake. It hugs the shore of the lake all the way around. Most all homes that are close to the lake shore where you can walk to the lake, such as our home, are near this road, so there will be road noise heard. If you want total quiet, zero road noise, then look for a house back away from the lake in the forest. We are located on a hillside up above Lake Tahoe. The house is split level with living room/kitchen on the top floor where you enter the house from the street. Since we are on a sloped hillside, the house does not have a traditional flat yard area for very young children. The nearby Meeks Bay beach (public) is best for children's play. Small children? We recommend that you bring a baby gate to block off the stairs. Our cabin is in the Tahoe basin which is a forested wilderness area with many types of naturally occurring critters such as ants, squirrels, raccoons, the occasional bear, birds, and much more. This is part of the natural environment. HERE IS A OUR RENTAL CONTRACT FOR YOU TO REVIEW. You will be agreeing to this contract through Airbnb's system when you book with me.

INTERNET ACCESS DISCLAIMER: at this time the west shore of Lake Tahoe has internet services, however most are only average in quality. We use Hughes satellite service which is adequate, but can be sketchy or go down during storms, snowfall, etc. We cannot control these occurrences. Due to uncontrollable weather situations which can affect the satellite, INTERNET ACCESS CANNOT BE GUARANTEED. That said, overall, most guests have no problem with checking their emails, browsing etc; it is not very good for streaming movies, teleconferencing etc. Of course, your cell phone LTE and 4G etc usually do work in the Tahoe basin, depending on your carrier. You can link into our wireless for your smart phone, however the connection is average. In conclusion, when you book to stay at our cabin you are acknowledging that you have read this information and you accept/understand. 4. HEATING: heating in summer time is not needed.
