NO SMOKING. Absolutely no smoking in the home or in the outside space. Smoking in or on the property is subject to a $300 fee. No smoking on the premises.

Please make sure all pet excretion is picked up in the backyard and around the property.
Please bring a crate with you and crate you dog(s) if they will be left at home for any reason.
Please be courteous of neighborhood pets, as most Tahoe dogs will be off leash.
This is coyote country and they are really good at luring pups into their pack - so keep a close eye on your fur baby!
