Dogwood By Tahoe Getaways - Pet Friendly in Tahoe Donner w Pool Table and HOA!

Escape the grind of city life and get away to this classic mountain home. Be transported as you enter directly onto the home's main floor, furnished with oversized leather couches surrounding a red gas stove and flat screen television. Rich wood beams line the floor, wall, and ceilings, accented by a stained glass window and colorful classic movie posters, featuring Roy Rogers and Marlon Brando. From the main floor deck, enjoy forest views. Spend the evening upstairs in the game loft, which offers a pool table, television, wet bar, and sofa, which converts to a sleeper should you need a little extra space.

When it comes time to retire for the evening, the main floor primary bedroom features a King bed, real wood fireplace, television, walk-in closet, and recently remodeled ensuite bath. A converted room on the main floor dawns two twin beds and is perfect for keeping an eye on the little ones. Upstairs, two additional guest bedrooms both offer King beds and reading chairs.

Spacious and comfortable

Awesome house just as advertised. Plenty of room for my wife and I, 2 kids and 2 grandkids ( well behaved dog!). Large master bedroom plus living space for toddlers. Appreciated the hot tub and pool table which were well used. Plus liked the large kitchen with an eclectic batch of utensils and multiple appliances. Minor suggestion to provide more dish towels and/or laundry detergent. Prompt communication with management company. Also appreciated prompt snow plowing after heavy snow fall.

Great cabin for family snow trip

Thank you so much to the hosts and the managers. Check-in was easy and remote, communication handled promptly. The house was perfect for our family of 4 (2 kids 9 & 12) and our niece and her fiancé. Close to town for shopping, dining, close to Palisades and Northstar for skiing, wife and niece enjoyed a sauna/spa day at the Donner club, and we all enjoyed the hot tub at the house after a long day on the slopes. Pool table and upstairs play area a real bonus to allow adults some space from TV/video/kid energy. Lots of space and gas stove in LR made it all super cozy. Beds and pillows were good, kitchen was totally adequate (electric range not my favorite), big fridge, lots of ice, plenty of dishes, plates, cutlery, serving stuff, coffee mugs! *** WARNING *** the living room couch is extremely comfortable and caused napping after one cocktail before dinner -- I advise you to proceed with caution. Also thanks for being pet friendly -- it made the trip complete to bring our pup up to the snow for the first time!

It was an amazing stay for our group of small families (family with kids and 2 adult couples). We enjoyed the comfortable and well appointed bedrooms, bathrooms, spacious living room and game room, hottub and beautiful backyard snowy meadow along the golf course. We will definitely book this home again!

Great house, especially for teens (pool table, hot tub, great living room)!!! Lots of kitchen gear for cooking in. Great property management. Be prepared for some possible work depending on timing of heavy snow. It’s dog friendly, but there seemed to be dog hair around from previous guests that could have been cleaned better for future guests with allergies, etc.

Great place to stay!

We had enjoyed our family vacation. The property was exactly as shown and was very clean. The only small challenge we had was that there were very few towels provided (none in the kitchen), so you may want to bring a few of your own. The house was perfect - offering plenty of space for a our family (and dogs) to relax that was warm and inviting. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful, quiet getaway!

We experienced an amazing stay at this property. It had all of the amenities we were looking for (hot tub, pool table, dog friendly, walkable neighborhood) in a weekend getaway. The place was clean, the kitchen well-equipped, and everything we used was in working order. The neighborhood itself was quiet and very walkable with our small dog. It was an unseasonably warm weekend and the first night we were a bit hot/stuffy, but found fans in every closet and slept well after that! We will definitely keep this property in mind for any future stays. Also, our teens found it cool that we saw a coyote and deer in the neighborhood on the morning we drove in. An overall excellent weekend!

This place was beautiful! A lot of space for everyone and all the amenities were great! The Jacuzzi worked great! Great service. The construction on the road was the only issue but it wasn't really a problem, and I was told before I arrived about it so I knew to expect it.

Great cabin, has everything you need!

Our family really enjoyed the stay at this cabin. The pool table upstairs was nice, next to a wet bar, comfortable couch tv area as well. The spa was a nice location right outside the master bedroom. The backyard was unexpected. Full of snow, with a short walk you enter into the most beautiful open meadow. We were able to do some fun sledding back there. My only con would be that the oven is very slow and old. Took 30 minutes to pre-heat. Owner's should consider replacing.

Clean and comfortable house

The house was spotless upon arrival. Even though it's dog friendly, it does not smell like pets. The beds were amazingly comfortable, linens soft, towels plush, kitchen well stocked - all the little things that really add up to making it a comfortable stay. You do have to bring your own games, beach towels & chairs, spices, cooking oils (due to Covid). Loved the location, we went to Donner Lake almost every day to swim and play.
