Safety
Upon your arrival at Alta Vista Chalet, please
familiarize yourself with the location of the fire extinguishers.
One is located in the family room at the fireplace, another in a
closet in the master bedroom; others in a bedroom on the main
level and in the garage.
Please help us maintain utmost fire safety.
The house is located in an area that is, during the summer and
fall season, considered "high fire danger."
Specifically:
--- use the gas grill only on
the lower side deck where you find it, on a
fire-safe pad;
--- when in use, move the gas grill about 12" away from
the house wall;
--- assure that the grease catcher is in place under the gas
grill;
--- Between 6/1 and 11/30 campfires
and USE OF CHARCOAL (such as in Webers) are STRICTLY
PROHIBITED ANYWHERE IN TAHOE DONNER!
Penalties are HUGE (several
thousand dollars) and payable by offending party.
--- keep children near the fireplaces under supervision;
Please assure that children are under constant
supervision when in the hot tub, in the sauna, or on the
deck.
Please mind the hot cooking surface of the kitchen range --
very dangerous for children!
Keep the cooktop clear of burnables, such as dishtowels.
Do not leave the house while something is cooking on the
range or in the oven.
Due to the related extreme fire danger, we do not permit
the use of any candles at Alta Vista (tea
lights in metal containers are OK) -- no
exceptions, please!

IMPORTANT SAFETY and LIABILITY
ADVISORIES
High Decks, Railings:
The Alta Vista Chalet is built on a sloping grade, and
the main and upper level view decks are about 10 feet and 20
feet above grade, respectively. Even though the railings
are highly secure and 40" above deck level (higher than
building codes require), children are often inquisitive and
prone to do the unexpected. Before you even realize it,
they might, for example, push a chair against the railing and
be in SERIOUS jeopardy. Young adults might get the
craziest ideas of games to play on the large deck areas, and
renters and their guest at large might be impaired and in
danger due consumption of drugs and/or alcohol ...
PLEASE KEEP YOUR CHILDREN UNDER CONSTANT SUPERVISION WHILE ON
A DECK. PLEASE BE GENERALLY AWARE OF THE DANGERS OF
DECKS HIGH ABOVE GRADE. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAN
RESULT FROM FALLING OFF A DECK.
Use of Equipment, Slippery Decks and
Pavement:
Owners and their agents are not responsible for personal
injury or loss, theft or damage to your belongings during your
stay due to causes outside of Owners' or Agents' control, or
due to unsafe use of the premises and amenities, including but
not limited to the hot tub, sauna, Jacuzzi tub, shower stalls,
gas fireplaces, gas grill, stair cases, and view decks, which
may function differently than you expect them to, and uses of
which are ALWAYS AND UNCONDITIONALLY AT YOUR OWN RISK. In
particular, in the cold season, snow and ice may build up on
decks, outside stairs, and in the driveway, causing slippery
conditions that may lead to personal injury. Wooden
decks can be slippery when wet, regardless of
season. CONCOMITANT WITH YOUR
RENTAL OF ALTA VISTA, YOU AGREE TO HOLD OWNERS HARMLESS IN THE
EVENT OF RELATED INJURY OR LOSS, OR OF THEFT OR DAMAGE OF YOUR
