Welcome to Copperopolis and Lake Tulloch


    We would like to welcome you as rental guests to our beautiful area. Please read all of the following information very thoroughly. We have provided a list of things to bring with you as well as a detailed explanation of what is expected of you as a renter prior to check-out so that you do not forfeit your security deposit or incur other additional charges.

There will be a 9x12 white envelope with your name waiting at the real estate office. Do not go directly to your unit. This will delay your check-in. In extreme situations, check-in time may need to be extended due to circumstances beyond our control.

    Cancellation

    Your reservation is secured by your 50% down payment. If it becomes necessary to cancel your leased period, a notice of cancellation is required via email or mail. Every effort via customary marketing will be made to fill the cancelled leased period. Any remaining balance will be due on the date indicated on your contract regardless of cancellation. A refund will be issued if the property is re-rented minus a 7% cancellation fee of the total rental rate.
