Red Dog Cabin

Rachel is a wonderful host. There was great communication throughout via email, and I love that she mailed the keys to the house with a prepaid envelope to mail them back. It shows that she's been very thoughtful about giving guests a great experience. The house is spacious and has everything we needed (including a great hot tub!). It's in a serene woody neighborhood and there's even a little creek running right by the back of the house. The kitchen is fully stocked, the house comes with towels, extra blankets, and even a closet of board games!

Your house is amazing and very comfortable.  It was really nice and cozy watching the snow fall all day and night on Saturday.  It was a very mellow and relaxing weekend away from the city for us, which is exactly what we needed.  Thanks again!

What an amazing place! Highly recommended!

The red dog cabin is awesome. Here are some reasons why: * Rachel is very easy to coordinate with * Cosy ambience (wood stove, comfortable couches, nice TV and appliances) * Beautiful view of a ridge and creek * 35min from Kirkwood (only 3.5 hours from the Palo Alto) * Sleeps 9 comfortably (1 King, 1 Queen, 4 Singles, 1 Pullout) not including couch and floor space. My friends and I had an awesome ski weekend here and plan to go back next year.

We had a fantastic time at the Red Dog Cabin! It's a beautiful house with excellent amenities and very nicely put together. It has a wonderful view of the creek and surrounding woods through all the huge windows and a great kitchen for cooking and gathering in. Rachel is a great and accommodating host, we would definitely come back and probably will!

The house was beautiful and clean, and we had a wonderful time. There are all the amenities to cook and entertain a decent sized group, and Rachel is delightful to work with. I will definitely look to stay there again!

Sweet house, nice hot tub, good location that feels somewhat secluded.

We booked the Red Dog Cabin on a whim, and to say Rachel was accommodating would be an understatement. We really needed to get out of town and have a relaxing weekend and the Red Dog Cabin was it... There's a national park directly across the street and hiking trails all around. I will add that having a disability the house was very easy to move around in, with an awesome open floor plan. We hope to get the opportunity to come back soon and appreciate all of Rachel's hard work in making it such a stress free weekend. I guess 10 hours in a hot tub over the weekend can do that, and the view forget about it.........

Me and four friends ran the Tough Mudder Norcal challenge and we were lucky enough to find Red Dog Cabin. The place is fantastic - very clean and spacious, we had plenty of room. The hot tub was a life saver after the event. The location was good and easy to find. Communications with Rachel were very simple and easy; she's a great host. I would definitely recommend this place.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Red Dog Cabin. It was easy to reach from the Bay Area and located conveniently in Tahoe (close to beautiful Echo Lake, a reasonable drive from attractions on the Western side of the lake, with access to groceries/restaurants etc just a 5-10m drive away but isolated enough that we felt we were really getting away). The house was clean, neat and well taken care of. We enjoyed the deck and jacuzzi, the nearby river, the ample rooms and modern bathrooms. Rachel was responsive at every stage of the experience and very detail oriented (clear instructions about how to get there, checklists for our arrival/departure, self-addressed envelope to send her back the keys, prompt return of the deposit $). We will definitely return.

Every year, I plan a trip to Tahoe, and part of the pleasure of going is staying in this awesome house. Whether you ski or not, this house provides a welcome retreat. My friends and I use it as a place to relax, commune, cook good meals, go snow-shoeing, and hit the slopes! My winter wouldn't be the same without a trip to Red Dog Cabin!
