Dog friendly cabins and beach

Kalaloch Lodge

We just returned from our third road trip up the Pacific coast and our third visit to Kalaloch Lodge in Washington State. This is one of our favorite destinations. The cabins are well spaced and feature small but complete kitchens and a wood burning stove. There are plenty of grassy areas for the dogs to do their business, and a seemingly endless stretch of beach on which to romp. If you walk a short distance down the road to the camp ground there is also a short nature trail that our dogs loved. However, I think our favorite feature is the Creekside restaurant onsite. They don't mind if you leave your dogs in the cabin while you dine, and we highly recommend that you do! The gumbo and salmon are always excellent. I highly recommend a stop at Kalaloch Lodge. Your dogs will thank you for it!

Perfect Getaway Spot for People and Pups!

Sheltered Nook on Tillamook Bay

We just got back from a two week road trip along the Pacific Coast with our two large dogs and stayed one night at Sheltered Nook in Tillamook. This wes our third Pacific Northwest road trip with our dogs, but our first time staying here. First, the owners of Sheltered Nook, Hank and Dee, are the friendliest people you'd want to meet. They have two dogs of their own who greet you when you arrive. The tiny houses are actually quite spacious and include a full size kitchen--a true rarity on a road trip! Instead of a tiny strip of grass for the dogs to relieve themselves, they have a large, beautiful, park-like grassy area that overlooks the edge of Tillamook Bay. But wait, it gets better... Just down the road, within walking distance, is the Kilchis Point Reserve. You can take your dogs and walk the 2+ mile loop on well-maintained paths through Oregon rain forest that terminates at an opening to the Tillamook Bay wetlands and some stunning views. Honestly, I can't say enough about how wonderful this place is if you are traveling with dogs. And it doesn't hurt that Hank and Dee have beer and cider on tap and local Tillamook ice cream waiting for you at their small office/store when you get back! This place will definitely be on the itinerary for next time!

Customer Review

Coast Cabins

We stayed two nights with our two large dogs at Coast Cabins in Manzanita. The cabin we stayed in was beautifully equipped for both humans and dogs. If you want to really relax, this is the place to go. The cabin featured a wood burning fireplace, a small kitchen, high end amenities, and an outdoor fire grill and jacuzzi. The patio was private, but not fully secured so you needed to keep your dogs leashed. Because Coast Cabins is on a residential street and has no open spaces of its own, you had to walk your dogs up the block to potty in an overgrown, vacant lot. It's located on what seemed to be the main street of Manzanita that featured boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants, wine and whiskey bars, and even a pet boutique, a few being dog friendly. Several blocks down is an expansive dog friendly beach. Unfortunately, it was too windy to enjoy for more than 5 minutes while we were there. Overall, we had a relaxing time there with our dogs, although outdoor spaces within walking distance, except for the beach, we're limited.

Very Nice Hotel and Grounds

The Resort at Port Ludlow

We stayed two nights at The Resort at Port Ludlow with our two large dogs. The room was very nice and the hotel staff were very friendly to our dogs. The grounds around the hotel were expansive with grassy areas and a beach walk. Plenty of places for long walks and potty breaks, and gorgeous scenery for humans. About 5 minutes from the hotel (by car) are hiking areas in the woods. We chose the old overgown golf course for it's paved walkways that were the former cart paths. Lots of hills and both dogs and humans got a workout! I would have given the resort 5 stars except that dining was problematic. The hotel has a fabulous restaurant, but since you can't leave your dogs unattended in the room, you had to order carry out. Unfortunately, the carry out menu was very limited and the service very slow--each time we waited anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours for the call that our food was ready. There was also no real table in the room at which to eat, so we awkwardly pulled the Adirondack room chairs up to the desk. Otherwise, it was a beautiful, dog friendly location.
