We live on Beech and rented Snow Dog for our 3 kids and their families. Lots of room, privacy for all, and lovely view

We truly enjoyed our stay! They had pretty much everything we needed for our annual Thanksgiving vacation. The kids & adults both enjoyed the family game room in the garage. Other than a slight issue with trying to work the downstairs washer (we just all used the one upstairs) it was the perfect vacation. Great location!! Easy access to some of our favorite spots in Beech mtn & Bannker Elk. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay & we’re already discussing booking for next year.

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.

The house is beautiful! We had a great stay and would stay again, but probably not in winter. The driveway is very steep and when we were there it was covered in thick ice as were the porch and steps leading into the house. We had 4 wheel drive and still had difficulty driving up. I also slipped and fell more than once on the ice, The heat in the downstairs bedroom was not working, someone came to check it and left us space heaters which did keep it warm.

Stayed with my extended family, ages 12-60, and 3 dogs. We all loved it. The house was very clean and comfortable, and had great views. It was so nice that the property was fenced and dogs could roam. The weather was fantastic with temps ranging from upper 50s to mid-80s in late July. Meanwhile temps at home in Arlington VA were hitting 100. It was a great escape!

The property was spacious and had many amenities. The only drawbacks (minor repairs/inadequate linen supply) can easily be corrected by the management company who have been notified separately. The management company is challenging in that the response time is slow (also notified in their separate survey), but overall it was a wonderful stay for a family of 6 adults and 4 small children.

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!

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.

We had a group of 12 gather for a family vacation. We ranged in age from 9 to 66. Everyone raved about the house. Drop dead gorgeous sunset views every afternoon.......plenty of games and outside exploring for the grandkids......very well stocked kitchen......great hiking trails just a couple of miles away..........plenty of room for our dogs to roam. I highly recommend Snow Dog Lodge!!

Our family has been traveling to Beech Mountain for a family trip for the last 16-18 years. We have stayed in multiple houses and this house was one of our favorites.

Snow dog lodge is a great house for accommodating a large group. The hosts are very generous with allowing access to many things. For example the kitchen had pretty much anything you needed dish or appliance wise. They had extra blankets and pillows and two washers and dryers! The cleaning service the rental company hired did not do a good job of vacuuming and dusting, but the bathrooms and linens were clean. We did make the company aware of this before we left so hopefully better for the next group.

Snow Dog Lodge was a beautiful place for a family get together. The house was lovely, rustic and roomy. The kitchen was great for our Thanksgiving dinner., well-equipped and roomy enough for all 14 of us to sit together. It was late fall and the area around the fire pit outside was not well maintained but we spent most of our time by the fireplace inside and in the rec room which the younger adults and children enjoyed..
