Failure to comply can subject the owner to fines.
With amenities like swimming pools, golf, and an outstanding cross-country ski area, Tahoe Donner is a one-stop vacation hangout (and it’s less than three hours from most of the Bay Area).Ī couple of egregious examples of partying, packing large crowds into homes, and cars overflowing into the streets inspired Tahoe Donner to implement new rules this year, limiting the number of people and cars per rental and requiring STR owners to register with the homeowner’s association to ensure a contact person is available to respond to complaints within 45 minutes. More than half of them are in Tahoe Donner, a neighborhood of some 6,000 properties in the hills above Truckee. According to the Mountain Housing Council, a public/private collaboration looking at workforce housing issues in Tahoe, 1,720 homes, approximately 13%, are rented out short-term. Interestingly, there aren’t a lot of STRs in Truckee. Airbnb offerings have almost quadrupled in South Shore over the past five years.Īs STRs gain a foothold in more traditional neighborhoods, the revolving door of guests tends to bring added noise, extra cars, and a vibe that sometimes fails to resonate with resident homeowners.Ĭonsider the example of Truckee, a town with more than 13,000 single-family homes, more than half of which are vacant most of the year. And in communities like South Lake Tahoe, long a sleeper town for the casinos, the shoulder season now practically doesn’t exist. On the other, who had time in their regular work week to manage the comings and goings of a nightly pack of guests?Īirbnb made that process pretty seamless. On one hand, vacation bookings in Tahoe historically tended to be so seasonal that it was almost impossible to get a great return on that business model. Short-term rentals (STRs) have long been part of the Tahoe landscape, so much so that lakeside condo developments such as Tahoe Tavern and Tahoe Shores have in-house property management offices to handle them.
