You will see signs on the front of all fire district stations, hear about it on the news, see it on social media and hear about it on the radio.
Winter Driving
Many highways, access roads and/or driveways are steep in Tahoe/Truckee and may be icy in the winter. To ensure your safety, it is critical that during November 1st - April 30th brakes, windshield wipers, defroster, heater and exhaust system are in top condition. Tires need to be properly inflated and the tread must be in excellent condition. Always carry tire chains, even if driving an AWD/4WD vehicle. Make sure the chains are the proper size for your tires and are in working order. You may find valuable winter driving tips from the CHP here: https://bit.ly/3IKiY7n
Summer Patio Furniture
Patio furniture is available for your use during summer months only. All outdoor tables, chairs and loungers are put into storage in the fall, in order to protect the furnishings from winter weather. Barbecue grills, however, do remain outside for your enjoyment.
Black bears are very common in this area and have become habituated to human food and garbage. Because bears no longer have a strong fear of humans, you may encounter bears during your spring, summer and fall stays. Feeding bears is illegal. Leaving food outside, trash accessible, or doors and windows unlocked is likely to cause significant property damage to homes and to vehicles. Please take a moment to learn how to be Bear Aware, so that we can continue to live in harmony with our wildlife.
Office Holiday Hours
The TLUXP office is closed on New Year’s Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Therefore, we are unable to accommodate check-ins and check-outs on these dates. Thank you for understanding.
Sprawling across one acre and set amongst mature pines and spruce trees, The Duck House vacation rental blends into the thoughtful landscaping in manner that showcases the natural environment. Here, you get the best of both worlds. The Duck House sits on a serene and private cul-de-sac where the air seems crisper, the sky appears bluer and you can actually hear the birds chipping. It is quintessential Tahoe. Sitting on the back patio surrounded by healthy perennially bushes, lush lawn, colorful stone pavers and glorious sunshine, this is the ideal location for uninterrupted relaxation. But, when activity and entertainment are on the schedule, then look no further. The Duck House boasts amenities that are seldom, if ever, found together in one vacation home: a gated swimming pool with a water slide, music system, natural gas barbecue and lounging area; a private, nine-seat theater with leather lounge chairs and Dolby Atmos surround sound system; a billiards room with television; a hot tub for eight; and, a fire pit for perfecting the ideal s'more.
Technology and state-of-the-art updates were key considerations when The Duck House was remodeled. The driveway and back patio are heated automatically using an underground hydronic heating system. Every room has its own television and all televisions use high speed connections for streaming television or music. The home is controlled by a Savant whole home entertainment system that manages music throughout the property. For guests with electric vehicles, there is a 220V plug installed in the garage to accommodate electric vehicle chargers.
Inside, comfort was on the forefront of the owner's mind when selecting everything from linens, down comforters and pillows to the towels and furnishings. The bright living room has seating for 10 guests in large, cozy couches. The spacious family room has a wood-burning fireplace with a sitting area, wet bar and a four-seat game table. The dining table is custom crafted. The den / library offers even more options for lounging and conversing. The spacious kitchen is outfitted with every appliance a chef would desire to construct and serve an incredible family meal. Finally, The Duck House offers the unique feature of a whole house generator system that switches on when the power goes out and air conditioning throughout the entire home, which is rarely provided in Lake Tahoe.
The Duck House is a one-of-kind home that offers families every possible amenity one could wish for in a truly luxury vacation.
