Our family stays at Golden Bear and the house is set up accordingly.  We like to be comfortable in Tahoe and have made the house much more than a basic, bare bones, rental cabin.

Vaulted ceilings through out and skylights in all the common areas make the house spacious and inviting.

In the living area there is a wood burning marble fireplace, (firewood not included, but easily purchased at local stores and feel free to burn any of the hundreds of pine cones in the yard), a 46 inch flat screen 1080 TV with HiDef cable package, DVD player, VCR with tons of tapes (I know - a VCR... but it is sort of cool in a retro way and many of the tapes are hard to find classics.), a leather sofa and loveseat, queen sleeper sofa, executive desk with leather swivel chair.  The cable modem and wifi router are located by the TV which is internet capable for Youtube, Netflix, Hulu, etc and has the HiDef cable package.

The oak dining room table seats eight and there are two comfy swivel back chairs at the adjacent kitchen bar.  The dining area has beautiful built in wooden cabinets and a marble and granite buffet area with box window and two sky lights.

**I'm ALWAYS willing to make deals for short notice stays.  Please check out the house calender on the upper right side of this page.  If there are open nights less than a week out and you are able to come up on short notice, let me know.  We can probably make a deal.**

Nightly Rates:

• Holidays $350 per night
• Non-holiday weekends $250 per night
• Midweek $200 per night

Holidays are Christmas break, New Year's, Fourth of July.

There is a two night minimum stay, three nights for Holidays.

Additional Deals:

There is a standing fifteen percent discount if you stay more than three nights during ski season (January - March) or are a returning guest.

If you are able to come up midweek and stay three nights during ski season, the third night is free.  Midweek means Sunday through Thursday nights, but does not include Thanksgiving week, the Christmas Holidays or New Years.  Lift lines are short during the week, so this is a great time to be up in South Lake - especially if you have a pass for Heavenly.

Taxes:

All quoted rates include the ten percent occupancy tax.

Caretaker's Fee:

There is an additional hot tub maintanence/caretaker/linen/cleaning/restocking/snow removal fee of $150. 

I cannot "waive" or "reduce" the caretaker's fee.  Not living in Tahoe, I pay a small business owner to look after the house.  This fee is what they charge and I have gotten nothing but positive feedback from past guests about the caretaker's standard of care.

Deposit:

Refundable Deposit is $300, plus an additional refundable $200 deposit if you bring pets.  Pets are very welcome and the yard is huge.  Once the Caretakers check everything out on departure, the deposit will be sent back.  If you are a returning guest that received full deposit return your last visit, I am glad to cut the deposit in half for future stays.

If you want the house for seven days, the non-holiday rate is $1300 and the holiday rate is $2200. 

Payment:

We accept Paypal and personal checks.  Paypal allows you to use either credit cards or electronic fund transfers.
