If you’re planning a dog-friendly escape to The Catskills, Stanley’s Mountain Getaway in Windham, NY provides a pristine place for pampered pups and their pack. Named after Stanley, the owner’s Sheepadoodle, this place is a pooch “pawradise” on 12 acres, and it includes a pet-friendly walking trail. Stanley makes sure visiting canines get treated as well as he does by sharing his dog bed, bowls, toys and treats with all pups who come to stay. After a day of exploring the property and nearby Town of Woodstock, switch into relaxation mode with a soak in the hot tub, s’mores at the huge fire pit or an evening warming paws in front of the wood-burning fireplace inside. Pets of all sizes stay for no additional fee.

Dogologie Haus guests receive a $25 gift certificate to the store and use of The Dog Pause at Dogologie, a crate service. You can even book a photography session with a local photographer to commemorate your stay. Pets of all sizes are permitted for no additional charge.

Fido won’t miss this striking 2-story blue house with a yellow door in Aloha, OR, located a short drive from pet-friendly Portland. He’s free to come and go through the doggy door onto the deck and into his own designated grassy space at the side of the property. Inside, the convenient entry leads to a dedicated dog room with a bed, bowls and more waiting for him. Pups can also join you in the backyard oasis for fun around the fire pit and dinner on the grill. If your pooch wants more distance for his game of fetch, make your way to the nearby Dog Park at Hazeldale Park. Two dogs of any size are welcome for an additional fee of $30 per pet.
