WINTER DRIVING
Truckee is one of the snowiest places in the lower 48. Chains or AWD may be required to reach the property. Snowplow service comes after 4 inches of snow, but it isn't on demand, and we can't guarantee timing. This is standard for the area. Town plows can leave berms at the end of the driveway, so we recommend keeping a snow shovel in your car.
HOUSE RULES
Quiet hours are 10 pm to 7 am. No events or parties. Please use the bear-proof trash enclosure. Charcoal grills and wood-burning fire pits are not permitted outdoors under Town rules.
