This is a great place for dogs and families! They are very dog friendly, have a dog park (Bark-aritaville) as well as a doggy food menu with room service! There are many activities for families such as pickle ball, lazy river, pool and arcade. The rooms are large and very clean. Did I mention grass!?! There are so many places to walk your dog! It’s also tucked away from the main strip of Pigeon Forge which has pretty much turned into a concrete jungle. It’s important to us when traveling to have grassy areas and walkways to walk our sweet pup! This is the place!

The staff here is very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and they offered water for our pup without us asking. The atmosphere/vibe is great. We sat in the “beer garden” which had a mixture of artificial turf and mulch under the tables. The location was great and the outdoor area is fenced. We were there last night (Saturday) and they had live music and a fire pit. We will definitely be back! It’s a great place to unwind after the day of super crowds in Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg.

Port Orleans was a perfect place to bring our girl on her first Disney Trip. We were welcomed in the front lobby by cast members and given a doggie “kit” which included a Pluto bag with a dog bowl, place mat, and door hanger. The door hanger is to put on your door to alert staff/house keeping of a dog in room. The grounds are massive and beautiful with lots of trails, wooded areas, and grass. There are lots of benches throughout the property to sit and people watch. The only outdoor tables are located at the pool bar where we enjoyed a nice, peaceful “take out” breakfast with our girl. We loved our stay at Port Orleans! We used Best Friends doggy daycare when we went to the parks. Our girl loved it!

We stayed at the Beach View with our pup this past weekend. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The location is perfect for dogs! It has lots of manicured grassy areas (without sand spurs). This is important because at Jekyll if you veer off the walk/bike paths there are lots of sand spurs in what appear to be unkempt grass. Right next door is a great restaurant that is dog friendly with a covered & screened porch. We will definitely be back!

We met here for lunch with two dogs. The food was delicious and the staff was very kind and accommodating for our pups! We sat on the covered porch that had ceiling fans and TVs on the wall (you would have never known it was 90 degrees outside!).
