What Reviews Say

137 reviews analyzed

The Dog House is highly praised by a loyal base of repeat customers and tourists for providing a fun, social environment that leaves dogs 'exhausted and happy' after skiing trips. However, the facility has a polarizing reputation due to a strict 'no-tour' policy and a history of defensive, sometimes confrontational responses from ownership toward negative feedback. While most experiences are glowing, a significant safety event involving dog fatalities and a lack of transparency regarding the physical layout remain primary points of concern for cautious pet owners.
