The driveway and street up to the cabin are very steep and can be very icy. We do not plow the city streets and you may not be able to reach the cabin in winter without BOTH AWD and chains for your car. We will not cancel due to lack of an AWD vehicle or chains. To protect you and protect our home, we do ask that you sign an e-sign rental agreement off of Airbnb as well as agreeing to the house rules below. Our cabin is located in a nice and quiet family neighborhood therefore, we do limit renters to people who are 25+ years old. (families with children under 25 ARE allowed as well) Potential renters may be asked to verify their age by providing a copy of their driver’s license or another form of official identification in person, at check-in. QUIET HOURS: The official quiet hours for Big Bear Lake are 10 pm to 7 am. Please keep noise to a minimum outside after 10 pm. As of January 12, 2021 the city of Big Bear Lake has limited spa use from 7am to 10pm. If a noise complaint comes in and you are using the spa after 10pm Code Enforcement can fine you. Loud talking and music are not allowed at any time as per City of Big Bear Lake Code- If anyone can hear talking or music over the property line- you will be fined by the city at least $500 . If the Code Enforcement Department is called on you due to disruptions, use of the hot tub after hours, loudness, music, too many people, too many cars, or ANY OTHER City of Big Bear Lake Code violations, you will be responsible for the fine issued to you as well as the fine issued to the owners (which could be at least $1000), you also may be asked to leave and no refund of remaining nights will be issued. Check in time is 4pm. Check-Out Time: From March to November is Check out is 11am From December thru February Check out is 10am. Consider booking the day prior to your stay or after your stay if you wish for an early check-in or late check-out, as we are unable to accommodate these. If you stay past check-out without permission, the cleaners will charge me and, therefore, I must charge you $100. If you stay 30 min past check out, you will be charged for the entire next night stay as well (without being able to stay). If you check in early there is a very good chance the house may have not been cleaned or inspected properly. And if the cleaners see a car in the driveway they will drive away. So if you try to check in early without permission- you forfeit the right to a clean house and any compensation. SPA: Use of spa is at your own risk. You MUST follow these rules. We assume no responsibility for accidents, injury or any medical treatment you claim is caused by spa. You must keep the spa cover closed when not using it.
