About this property

Welcome to Snow Dog Lodge

Snow Dog Lodge, a place for ski lovers, dog lovers, mile-high air lovers, hiking lovers, and lovers of spectacular mountain views, is a welcome oasis for all family and friends. New to the rental market, this 4,000-square-foot home has clean lines, contemporary design elements, and expansive, layered views of the mountains, filling it with natural light. It is located just one (1) mile from Beech Mountain Ski Resort and the Beech Mountain Golf Club and is convenient to all Beech Mountain restaurants.

This home features six (6) sleeping areas and three and a half (3.5) bathrooms. Updated in the Spring of 2021, it features a modern kitchen with a farmhouse table for ten (10), a large living room with a wood-burning fireplace, and a custom-made, artistic round-top table for games or light dining. The main home also features two bedrooms on the main level (one king, one queen) and two on the upper level (one king, one queen), plus a loft with a new queen sleeper sofa and a spacious laundry room. The wrap-around stone patio is partly covered and is a great space to enjoy your friends and the breathtaking views. The house also faces west, perfectly placed to capture those cinematic sunsets from the hot tub.

A few steps from the front door is the game room featuring a pool table, a foosball table, a custom bar, and a 70-inch TV with a huge sectional to enjoy movie nights or football games. Above the new game room is a spectacular studio apartment boasting unique multi-pitched roof lines with tongue-in-groove wood paneling, a large TV and seating area, a new king bed, a queen Murphy bed that doubles as a table, and a twin sleeping nook. It accommodates five (5) guests, has an efficiency kitchen and a full bathroom, and is a private, tranquil space with expansive views of the mountains.

The owners of Snow Dog Lodge love big dogs, little dogs, and all dogs and welcome guests to bring up to three dogs to roam the 1-acre, fenced-in lot. Behind the home is a raised seating and picnic deck with long-range and wooded views. This home has FIBER for fast internet and streaming, and every bedroom has a TV. The main house has mini-splits for air conditioning. The apartment does not have air conditioning.

You won't find many homes like this one - there is much to enjoy in this unique, updated, and contemporary space offered at Snow Dog Lodge. Come one, come all!

Great location, beautiful porch and fenced in yard

The location was beautiful, the porch views were stunning. We loved the fully secured fenced in yard for our dogs. Check in was easy and management responded quickly to concerns. Be aware this cabin does not have central AC, this was not disclosed in the listing. Though the evenings were cooler, the day time was warm and the cabin was hot and stuffy at times. I have never stayed at a cabin with no central ac. The windows did open but if it’s warm outside, it doesn’t help much. It definitely should be listed that their is no AC, I would not have stayed here if I knew. The cabin could have been cleaner as well, particularly the bathroom and kitchen. We also noticed an odor in the home, we understand it is pet friendly but shouldn’t smell like pee. There are several rugs in the home and I suspect them to be the culprit. There were noticeable stains. The smell was worse when the cabin was hot. The mattresses need major updating, all of them were sunken in badly in the middle. We lost water pressure one morning and did not have water for a few hours, I believe it was a main line. Management responded quickly and helped the best they could. Overall we enjoyed our stay, there are some things that needed fixing and definitely a mention about the lack of AC. The location is nice, very close to OZ and ski resort. Overall a nice property, just need to be more descriptive in the listing and deep clean the rugs or remove them.

Great Family Vacation

The property was excellent for us 7 and the 2 dogs. WE had a great week. Very close to all the hiking trails. The dogs loved hanging out in the fence area while we watched the sunsets.

Ski Trip With The Crew

Great house and space for our party of 9. Kids stayed in the studio above the garage and the adults had the main house. Close to the slopes and lots of cool outdoor space…we saw deer every day. Garage game room with pool table was a hit. Definitely need 4x4 if it’s snowing. Property manager would respond within minutes to answer our questions, very impressed. Would no doubt stay again, 5 BIG Stars!
