Lake Tahoe Dog Parks and Dog Beaches – Pet Friendly Lake Tahoe Lodging

If you’re in the mood for an outing but don’t want to leave your floppy-eared friend behind, the South Lake Tahoe area has some wonderful pet-friendly options.

Bijou Dog Park
Located within Bijou Community Park, Bijou Dog Park is a great place for dogs and owners alike. Both large and small dogs can romp around off-leash in the fenced grassy area. It’s a perfect place to people-social and dog-socialize, with plenty of shade, benches for relaxing, pet sanitary stations and water. The Bijou Dog Park is located at 1201 Al Tahoe Blvd., and it’s open daily, closed Monday mornings from 8am to 11am for maintenance.

Tallac Historic Site
Dogs are also allowed on-leash at the Tallac Historic Site, at the beach or on the grounds, where you can check out the historic estates: Pope, Valhalla, and Baldwin. The houses are beautiful and offer a look at the lifestyles of Tahoe’s early rich and famous. Tallac also boasts concerts and fun festivals happening all summer long. Tallac Historic Site is open daily mid-June through mid-September, and is located on Hwy 89, north of Camp Richardson Resort. For more information on events, visit the Valhalla website – Valhalla Tahoe.

.

Kiva Beach
Another fun place where Fido can tag along is Kiva Beach. Dogs are welcome on-leash, and the beach is an excellent area for sunbathing and various water sports. One of the longest beaches in Lake Tahoe, Kiva also has restrooms and picnic tables. Kiva Beach is open daily and is located on Hwy 89 at Fallen Leaf Rd.

Echo Lakes
Echo Lakes is a great, leisurely spot to picnic and swim, and dogs are allowed on-leash. There’s even a water taxi that can take you and your dog across the lake, and an easy to moderate hiking trail. To get to Echo, from the South Lake Tahoe Y, drive south on Hwy 50 for 9.5 miles, turn right on Echo Lake Rd, and park in the upper lot at the Echo Lakes Resort. The water taxi leaves from the resort, and operates from Memorial Day to Labor Day, 8am to 5pm. For more information, call (530) 659-7207.

Pet Friendly Vacation Rentals-Fact vs. Fiction

When interviewing prospective homeowners for inclusion into our Lake Tahoe vacation rental program inevitably we are asked what are the top requests from inquiring guests are and our answer almost never changes. The four top requests are in this order:

1)   Hot Tub

2)   Pet Friendly

3)   Pool Table

4)   High Speed Internet

The typical reaction for 3 of the 4 is typically affirmative but the pet friendly request draws raised eyebrows and a look of astonishment then many times a feverish shaking of the head  NO!!

After the initial shock has worn off we start by explaining that many of the highest quality guests we book travel with their pets and these same guests are so relieved to find a great “pet friendly” vacation rental at Lake Tahoe that they return again and again and tell all of their dog loving brethren about the rental as well. The chosen cabin becomes, in essence, that particular guests personal cabin at Lake Tahoe. Their “place at The Lake”

Pinnacle Lake Tahoe Getaways policy on pets is set by each homeowner but after reviewing the earlier points and describing the steps taken to protect their property via a pet deposit and a clear paragraph in the guest rental agreement stating that guests are responsible for their pet’s behavior and that a charge will occur of not followed we rarely have issues with our dog friendly guests.

If you are a homeowner on a vacation rental program consider making your home pet friendly. It will increase the number of nights booked per year thus increasing  revenue and create a network of “Fido fans” that will make you a hero in the dog loving world!

Fact:

Guests who travel with their pets stay longer, will “dicker the price”  less and repeat again and again

Fiction:

Guests who travel with their pets destroy the home they are staying in, leave “messes” and make the home smell like pets.

Now go out there and make your Lake Tahoe Vacation Rental “Fido Friendly” and see the return!
