    QUIET HOURS: 9:00 PM – 8:00 AM. We want everyone, including our neighbors, to enjoy a peaceful stay. Please keep noise to a minimum during quiet hours, as sound should not be audible from neighboring properties. We kindly ask that you move all conversations and activities indoors after 9:00 PM. Thank you for helping us be respectful neighbors!

    No smoking anywhere on the property.

    No Pets or Animals

    No open flames - Tahoe’s forests are highly fire-prone.

    No parties, events, or commercial shoots.

    Shoes off inside, please, to help preserve the newly refreshed interiors.

    This is a three-level townhome, and stairs are required.

    BBQ, patio furniture, lake gear, and outdoor activity items may be seasonal and weather dependent.

    Golf cart use is subject to Schaffer’s Mill community rules, local requirements, and availability.

    Guests are responsible for safe use, transport, and return of all activity gear.

    Max 3 vehicles: 1 in garage, 2 in driveway.



    🚨 Things to Keep in Mind

    Tahoe’s beauty comes with unpredictability, including storms, wildfire conditions, changing lake conditions, and occasional service interruptions. Refunds for such issues are considered on a case-by-case basis.



    Our cancellation policy is firm. No refunds for weather, road conditions, or air quality. We recommend purchasing travel insurance for peace of mind. Guests planning to use lake or outdoor gear should also consider weather, road, parking, and lake conditions when planning activities.

10/10 Excellent

The perfect spot for a weekend with friends.

We had such a great 3-night stay at The Overlook with friends! The house was beautiful, super comfortable, and had everything we needed. The kitchen was really well stocked, and there were lots of little touches throughout the house that made our stay easy and enjoyable. We loved having access to the pickleball courts, hiking trails, and lake, and Schaffer’s Mill was a great location for going to downtown Truckee. It was the perfect spot for a long weekend with friends, and we would definitely stay here again!
