This is a great Holiday destination. Excellent lay out and room for everyone to have some breathing room.
While we greatly appreciated many elements of our stay, we also encountered a few areas where improvements could be considered to enhance the guest experience further. Upon our arrival, we noted some maintenance issues on the exterior of the property, including damaged fencing, a broken front bridge, and a compromised front bench. Furthermore, the outdoor grill was unfortunately not clean, and one of the garbage receptacles was already full upon our check-in. We also observed a design feature in the master bathroom, specifically a window, which somewhat impacted the sense of privacy while using the facilities.

Thank you for your thoughtful review. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated many aspects of your stay with us.
We also appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. The exterior maintenance items you noted, including the fencing, front bridge, and bench, have been shared with the homeowner and our maintenance team for review. We have also followed up regarding the condition of the grill and the trash receptacle to help ensure these items are properly addressed for future guests.
Regarding the master bathroom window, we understand that privacy preferences can vary from guest to guest. While this is a permanent design feature of the home, we appreciate your feedback and will consider whether additional information in the listing may help set expectations for future visitors.
Thank you again for staying with us and for taking the time to provide detailed feedback. Guest comments are invaluable as we continually work to improve the experience for everyone who stays at the property.

Thank you for your review, Steve! We're glad to hear that the home met your needs for two families and that you found it very clean. We appreciate your feedback and hope to host you again soon!
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.

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.).

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 for your detailed review, Brent! It’s great to hear that the house met your family's needs, and that you enjoyed the hot tub and pool table. We appreciate your suggestion about the dish towels and laundry detergent, and we'll certainly take that into consideration. We're glad you found our communication responsive and that the snow plowing was prompt. We hope to welcome you and your family back for another enjoyable stay!
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.
