SOME KIND WORDS FROM OUR WONDERFUL PAST GUESTS— 🗣️ "We had a great stay at at this Airbnb. We needed a place with AC that could accommodate our newborn during the heat wave in Tahoe. Once a minor problem was fixed we were able to get ample AC in every room. The renovation and bathrooms were immaculate with some really cool features like a smart shower. the house backs up to highway 89 so you could hear some traffic at night but nothing that would be out of the ordinary. The host is extremely responsive, helpful and kind. Thank you for having us!" —Alex
🗣️ "Had an amazing time in Tahoe. This was a last minute booking and Carlo & Agnes were super nice and allowed us to check-in early. Everything was super clean and tidy. We felt so comfortable. Will be back for our next trip!" —Kiana
🗣️ "This was our first time visiting Tahoe, but not our first time staying in a vacation rental—we usually book them 2–3 times a year, so we have a good sense of what’s out there. This property quickly became one of our favorites! The home had updated features not typically found in rentals, was very clean, and thoughtfully decorated throughout. While it’s a newer rental that is still expanding its offerings, we were thoroughly satisfied with our experience and would love to stay here again. Communication was excellent, and we felt the rental was very fairly priced." —Brooke

❄️ SNOW REMOVAL SERVICE (Winter Season Only) As you're preparing for your stay at The Slöpe, we wanted to let you know about our winter maintenance. We use a professional snow removal service to keep the driveway and walkway at The Slöpe clear and accessible for you after snowfalls.
• When: Snow service personnel typically come shortly after it snows, often early morning or during business hours (e.g., 9 AM - 4 PM), but it varies by storm.
• What to Expect: You might hear a plow or see our team shoveling/salting. They're quick and aim to keep everything safe and accessible.
• Your Access: They'll ensure you can get in and out easily, but please be mindful of freshly cleared areas or piled snow. If cars are parked on the driveway at the time of active snow removal, the service will be unable to clear the snow properly, which may limit access or reduce available parking space once everything freezes over.
We keep a few snow shovels in the garage if you ever need to clear a small area or fresh snowfall during your stay. Thank you for helping us keep things safe and stress-free during your mountain stay. Stay cozy and enjoy the snow! ❄️ We appreciate your understanding and look forward to hosting you!

Other things to note— Kindly care for the space as if it were your own. If any problems arise, we will do our best to take action as soon as possible but no one is living on-site 24/7.

(A) Pets are welcomed to The Slöpe ONLY WITH PRIOR APPROVAL — please message us before or at the time of booking. Once approved, two separate fees apply (see Step 2 and Step 3 below).
Pet Approval & Fees — here's exactly how it works:
Step 1 — Request approval. Message us at the time of booking with your
◼︎ Pet's name ◼︎ Breed ◼︎ Approximate weight ◼︎ A picture of your pet ◼︎ Proof of current RABIES vaccinations
Step 2 — Update your guest count. Once approved, add your pet to your reservation's guest count on your booking. This automatically applies a one-time $150 pet fee, which covers our extra pet-cleaning cost.
Step 3 — Pet Stay Fee (collected via Happy Guest). Separately, after booking, you'll complete a short pet stay fee through your Happy Guest guest portal. The amount depends on your pet's weight:
◼︎ Under 25 lbs: $50 ◼︎ 26–50 lbs: $75 ◼︎ 51–100 lbs: $100 ◼︎ Over 100 lbs: $150
Both fees are billed separately from your reservation payment — this isn't a double charge, it's two distinct costs: one covers cleaning, the other is your pet's stay fee. (This fee does not cover damage to the property or grounds resulting from a pet, including but not limited to: chewing, scratching, digging and unreported house-training accidents.)
(B) All local laws and regulations must be followed, including required vaccinations. Please, observe leash laws and do not bring your pet to parks and beaches that do not allow animals.
(C) Guests with pets are asked to please respect the comfort and safety of other guests, both during and after your stay. For this reason, we ask that you please follow these guidelines during your time with us:
(D) Pet Information Request: To ensure a pleasant stay for all our guests, we kindly ask you to provide the following information about your pet(s):
◼︎ Name of pet ◼︎ Breed ◼︎ Approximate weight ◼︎ A picture of your pet ◼︎ Proof of current RABIES vaccinations

(F) Furniture: To maintain the cleanliness and condition of the furnishings, kindly keep your pets off the couches, beds AND hot tub!
(G) Owner Responsibility: ◼︎ Owners are responsible for their pets at all times, both inside and outside the house. ◼︎ Please ensure your pet is well-behaved and does not disturb other guests or neighbors. ◼︎ Clean up after your pet, both in public areas and in the yard of the vacation property. ◼︎ Do not allow pets on furniture or beds. It is also helpful to bring something (bed, blanket, etc.) on which you know your pet will be comfortable sleeping. Many pets are used to being allowed on furniture and beds at their own home, but this is not allowed in our vacation property. Please, bring any crate/kennel or special bedding your pet may enjoy with this is mind. Extra cleaning fees will be charged for furniture, blankets, comforters, etc. that have pet hair left behind. This may include professional steam cleaning; usually resulting in charges above $500. ◼︎ Do not leave your dog unattended for long periods of time. A crate is ideal for those situations in which you must leave. You are responsible for any damages your pet causes. ◼︎ Do not allow your pets in the swimming pool (if applicable ) or in the hot tub (if applicable) or in the guest bathrooms. Several local groomers offer pet bathing services and we would be happy to help you coordinate an appointment with one! ◼︎ Additionally, kindly ensure your pet (s) is/are up-to-date on RABIES vaccinations as required by state law, as well as medications, especially flea treatment prior to your stay. ◼︎ Do not to leave your pets unattended in the backyard as there are still wildlife like bears and coyotes that can access our backyard. ◼︎ Lastly, just a kind reminder NOT to leave your pets unsupervised or unleashed or when going for a walk in the neighborhood for their pet's safety. Pick up after your pets and dispose of them properly.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to these guidelines. Enjoy your stay with your beloved pets!
