Car, bike, or walk within the community. You will need a car to go anywhere outside of the community. Uber and taxi cabs are available in the area, but can have long wait times or be difficult to find.

We strongly recommend that you travel in an AWD/4WD vehicle. We are located in the mountains and roads tend to be sloped and can get very icy.

Other Things to Note:
The rental agreement will be sent to you once the reservation is accepted. Your booking is only confirmed once it is signed. Kindly complete it within 24 hours to secure your reservation. If not signed within the deadline, your booking may be cancelled with no refund.

Dog fee is $100 per dog. Note that booking platforms only charge 1 pet fee. Please let us know the breeds and how many dogs you will be traveling with so we can request the appropriate fees.

REGISTRATION:
Guests are REQUIRED to register with Arrowhead Lake Community and pay the transaction, gate card, and temporary membership fees. Wander Home will process the registration and all payments will be requested through the booking platform. Failure to complete and pay for registration will result in the cancellation of your booking without a refund.

MANDATORY fees are as follows:

● Transaction Fee per Rental: $20
● Gate Card Fee: $20 per card
● Temporary Membership (age 6 and over): $8.50 daily ($42.50 weekly) in-season (May 24, 2024 through September 2, 2024)

NOTE: The Administration/Transaction Fee is non-refundable regardless of a cancelled rental registration. Temporary Membership fees and Vehicle Gate Card fees are only refundable if the request to cancel the rental registration with ALCA is received not less than three (3) days prior to arrival. These fees are charged separately as the platform do not have a way to calculate the fees based on the number of guests that are 6 years and older or the number of vehicles.
