    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.

    Great location. Although pricey, the availability of the HOA facilities was great…good gym, lap pools etc. ( Trout Creek I think) was very nice and access to pickleball and private marina also good. Having a hot tub and pool table was fun. Beautiful property and spacious home…a little outdated, but very lovely setting and lots of dishes! We had a great time and I would book again. The only complaint is the directions for using the HOA need to be clearer…I called several times and it was very hard to reach the company in charge to find accurate answers about this. Also, when there was no laundry soap on arrival…I was told it would arrive that evening or next morning…nothing came until a day later after we already purchased. The people answering the phone were very friendly and cooperative, but answers were sometimes hard to get. Overall,the stay was very wonderful

    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.

    We loved your beautiful home! It was the perfect size for our family of six and our pup. The beds were all super cozy and the house was very open. Plenty of room for all of us to cozy up and watch a movie and even play some card games at the large dining room table. We couldn't find any horse shoes in the home, so we bought our own to play and had a great time! We enjoyed using the beautiful hot tub as well. The only suggestion I would make is to change the kitchen sink out because it's not well designed. You don't have much room to wash your dishes on the side where the garbage disposal is. Water pressure is also very low as well and could be a little bit more. We were also told the garbage would be picked up that Tuesday morning, but it never was picked up. We did not ever have the garbage box blocked, due to your instructions. There was plenty of room, but thought I would mention it for any future issues. Great place and we would love to come back and visit next year! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    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.
