Weekend Getaway to Lake Arrowhead – This Dog is Determined to See Some Snow!

Fresh Air, Beautiful Scenary and Plenty to Explore in Lake Arrowhead

Fresh air, beautiful scenary and plenty to explore in Lake Arrowhead

Ever since my cousin Lady started bragging about her heavenly dog-friendly trip to Lake Tahoe, I’ve been dreaming about one day seeing some of that SNOW she’d told me all about!

So I was so excited when my humans told me we were going to take Lake Arrowhead, where there would be SNOW!

After our 4-hour drive (thank goodness we stopped in Claremont for a poop-break pit stop!) and a crazy ascent up a winding dizzying road, I caught my first glimpse of it!

But when we finally got to our destination, it was all sunshile and blue skies… and no snow. Some of the humans we were staying with had gone SNOWboarding at Big Bear mountain near by – which I assume involves SNOW… so what gives?

Dog Friendly Ski Resort is Truly Heavenly – Lady Brags about her Visit to the Deerfield Lodge in Lake Tahoe

Deerfield Lodge: Lady with her Humans at dog-friendly Lake Tahoe Ski Resort

My cousin Lady (the yellow lab above) just sent me pictures from her vacay in Lake Tahoe! She stayed at the Deerfield Lodge at Heavenly – where she saw snow! OH – I know I’m just a dog and I’ve gone to some cool dog-friendly places – but I’ve never seen snow… and it sounds amazing!

Anyway, Lady had a great time. When her humans were skiing, she was allowed full-roam of the hotel room – though she spent most of her time relaxing on a comfy blanket-covered leather couch! And a nice girl would come and take her for a walk while everyone was at the slopes! Lady says she didn’t mind being left alone during the day because she knew the dog walker would visit and even call her humans on their cell phone thingies if anything super important came up.

There were also the doggie amenities! Dog treats upon check in along with a coupon to the onsite doggie boutique store! Convenient doggie poop stations! Lady also got to hang out in the lobby during happy hour – which featured wine and snacks for the humans every afternoon!

All the rooms on the ground level floor were dog friendly – which was great because Lady said her bedroom door led right into the open courtyard! Many dogs were allowed to run around offleash, but I’m sure Lady stayed onleash – she’s notorious for giving chase to anything that moves!
