Beautiful and spacious home in a quiet neighborhood but close to winter sports, dining and groceries. The grandkids loved playing in all the fresh snow—a great time was had by all!

Vacation at Dogwood
We love this home - its size, location, pool table and hot tub. Appliances are old (stove and dishwasher) and could be updated but everything else is in great shape. The main kitchen window was boarded up from snow damage but I'm sure that's temporary.
We had a wonderful vacation. Thank you!
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.
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!
Great layout, 3 rooms with king beds, wonderful amenities with pool table and TV in upstairs loft. Perfect for my extended family visit for Thanksgiving!!
We had a fantastic time staying at the dogwoods cabin! The master bedroom had a very comfortable bed and the shower pressure was great. Two very important things for me and my wife. The front has one of the only grass yards in the neighborhood which was great for us and our dog. The backyard had a nice deck and the privacy created by the trees was fantastic. We would definitely stay here again.
Great home, very clean, well stocked kitchen, beautiful deck that overlooks forest. Tahoe Getaway was very responsive to our calls and requests during our stay. They are an EXCELLENT management company. I highly recommend them. House was stocked with Tahoe Getaway beach towels, hand soap, shampoo and Cream rinse. THe office staff were just amazing… We will definitely return next year. The family that owns this home has done an excellent job maintaining the property and I truly want to thank them for sharing their home with us.
Beautiful property with gorgeous backyard full of tall pines. Enjoyed breakfast under the trees, hot tub on the patio and dinner on the deck. Loved our stay here.
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!
We had a nice week at this VRBO. The property was as advertised; also very clean and well maintained. The property manager did a very good job keeping us informed of all we needed to know. Guest passes to the Tahoe Donner recreation beach marina were a real nice bonus. We enjoyed our week here.
Great open space. Good location for those who have groups who want to X country ski as well as downhill with easy access to Truckee. I like staying in Tahoe-Donner because it saves so much time on drivetimes from the Bay Area. Comfortable big beds. Nice big garage.

Winter Visit
This home was great and our second visit. A great location and a great home for our kids and dog. Some older materials in the house with a dripping faucet, stained dishes, cabinets, and appliances. Overall happy with our stay and would come back.
Good location, big house. Clean on arrival. Lots of back and forth extra steps with the property management company before we even arrived (more emails, contracts to sign, needed to send an ID, etc.).
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.
