Fantastic Cabin in the Smokeys

Dancing Bear Lodge

This was a great find and we all enjoyed our time. Cafe for breakfast, bistro for dinner and relaxing cabin for the night. Nikita had a fun time with the staff getting lots of pets. Will return and we highly recommend.

Great drive

Cades Cove Loop Road

Get there early and really see the bears. Our drive was fun and we got to see many animals. Our dog did get to watch from the back window. Again I feel there should be more access for dogs.

Love the Park but wish dogs had more access

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

I understanding that there are issues with dogs in the national parks because a few people do not keep them on a leash and hence under control. However, I feel that the same could be said for many children running loose on the trails. We did enjoy our time at the park, Cades Cove drive being the best.

Best food, Best Service, Best experience

Dancing Bear Appalachian Bistro

Wonderful setting and outdoor dinner with Nikita, our German Shepherd. Nikita received her water first and lots of love from everyone. It is very obvious that everyone here loves dogs and really cares that they also enjoy their time here. Just can’t say enough. This is a “must visit” location. Covered outdoor area was beautiful. Food and service the best around. We will be back.

Great Hamburgers

Wize Guyz Grille

The best hamburgers and dog friendly, what more could you want! Enjoyed a nice lunch with our German Shepherd Nikita. Covered area with tile floor was nice and cool for Nikita. Great place to have a meal with our dog.

Good food and so dog friendly

Apple Valley Kitchen Cafe

We enjoyed a relaxing early lunch. They brought out a water bowl and extra cup of water for Nikita as soon as we sat down in the covered patio area. Food was very good and we all enjoyed our time here. Will be back many times before our trip ends.

Very Dog Friendly

North Beach Bar & Grill

This place is always nice and they love having the dogs. Always bring a big bowl of ice water for Nikita and she enjoys. Menu is limited but the outdoor patio is fully covered and very nice. Always a go to place to enjoy.

Awesome place

Gerald's Pig & Shrimp

Had a great meal, hush puppies are the best around, and Nikita enjoyed her time. Very pet friendly, staff is great and musician has some good tunes. Meet Gerald on our way walking to the restaurant, very nice man and Nikita made a friend. Highly recommend!

Good stay

La Quinta by Wyndham Cookeville

This hotel is nice but needs some maintenance. Ceiling fan did not work, no light bulb in lamp and bathroom door was very badly planed (and still stuck). It is dog friendly but big secret is that the best walk area is behind the hotel not the little spot in front. Still it was a good stay and Nikita, our German Shepherd, had no issues.

Wonderful stay

Best Western Plus Washington Hotel

First visit to this hotel will have many more. Great staff all around. Front desk very friendly and inviting. Cleaning staff very courteously turned off vacuum as our dog walked by. Nikita, our German Shepherd, loved the grassy outdoor area. It is huge and beautiful. Cannot say enough good things about our visit here. Highly recommend.

Fun Times

Tides Beachside Bar & Grill

While staying at the Islamorada Resort (which is very dog friendly and totally awesome) we ate at the Tides 3 times. Food is Ok, nothing special. Nikita, our German Shepherd, enjoyed her time here. Water bowl was supplied and there is plenty of room. Everyone was happy to see Nikita and treated her with pets and love. Definitely a good place especially if you’re staying at the resort.

Nice overnighters

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Kingsland/Kings Bay

Hotel was very nice and staff was extremely friendly to Nikita, our German Shepherd. We were there for two 1-nighters coming and going from Florida. Both nights were great (one being just before the Daytona 500). This place is well located just off I95. Dog area is in a culvert but I quickly discovered why... several guests were not picking up after their dogs so when it rains it all gets washed away. They even provide plastic bags and trash can but people cannot even walk 5 feet for that. More disappointed in guests because this is why dog friendly hotels are hard to find.

Highly recommend this hotel!

Good Place

Smokin' Tuna Saloon

NIkita, our German Shepherd, enjoyed her visit here. Food was good and Nikita was loved. No water bowl was provided. Nothing special so they get an Ok rating.

Feb. 20, 2020

Awesome Location Sooooo Dog Friendly

Ciao Hound

NIkita loved this location and was pampered with love and a souvenir water bowl. Everyone came over to pet and greet Nikita. Food is wonderful but the level of dog friendlyness was off the charts! The family before us had to eat indoors because the only table available on the porch was reserved for dogs. Waitress was fantastic and loving toward Nikita. Highly recommended.

Awesome Fantastic Place

Theater of the Sea

NIkita so enjoyed her time here. They are truly the most dog friendly place in the Keys. From check-in to Dolphin swim everyone greeted our German Shepherd, Nikita, with love, pets, praises, and water. Even at their small beach location the staff brought Nikita a water bowl. Our trainer at the Dolphin swim treated Nikita with love and allowed her to visit with the curious dolphins, I think they really wanted to play with her. Totally awesome great place to bring your fur baby!

Great Discovery

The History of Diving Museum

Nikita, our German Shepherd, was welcomed and got many pets while touring this museum. Has some very interesting information and items. Very much enjoyed by us and our fur baby.

Great Place To Lunch

Lazy Days Restaurant

Went here for lunch, great food and atmosphere! Nikita, our German Shepherd, had a wonder cool shady relaxing time. They brought her some cool water which she drank immediately. She then relaxed and enjoyed the shade and island breeze. Highly recommend.

Feb. 20, 2020

Great Breakfast

Mrs. Mac's Kitchen II

Note there are two locations! One does not open til lunch the other (original location) serves breakfast. These two locations are close to each other. We went to the lunch location first and then followed google maps to the breakfast location. They treated Nikita with love and water bowel, hot morning, which was appreciated. Great breakfast food! Very nice to Nikita.

Not That Great

Islamorada Fish Company

Waitress barely recognized Nikita, our German Shepherd. No water and we were placed in the middle of the room in a high traffic area. Nikita is a calm and easy going girl and laid down as best as possible but we worried the whole time she was going to be tripped over, she actually was bumped by one waiter with large tray. He apologized and was extremely sorry which was very appreciated. Just not anything special. Food was good but dog friendlyness on the lower end of the chart.

Feb. 20, 2020

Good Breakfast Location

Mangrove Mike's Cafe

Breakfast not that great but Nikita was treated with love and allowed in the restaurant. At first they specified she needed to go under the table but for a German Shepherd that was not possible. Waitress said she was good to lay by the table. Everyone smiled and commented on her wonderful calm behavior. Probably more of a small dog location.

Dogs always welcome

Flying Fish Bar and Grill

Great food and very nice outdoor seating. Weather was colder and windy but the enclosed outside area is wonderful for Nikita. She has always liked coming here because of the friendly people and tidbits of food. Always a favorite on a visit to Tybee.

Very Dog Friendly

Fort Pulaski National Monument

Staff was great at the fort, everyone wanted to pet Nikita. Have enjoyed every visit to this park. From the ticket booth to the fort everyone loves dogs. Nikita got a treat at the entry gate and enjoyed lots of attention around the fort. Also always visit the beach.

Sooo dog friendly!

Fannie's on the Beach

They whole staff loved visiting with Nikita. She got water and treats and lots of love and pets. The little princess got very spoiled. Great food and had fun in the outdoor area. Will return for more later this week.

Good times

StingRay's Seafood

Had a good meal here and the staff was very friendly to Nikita. She got her own water dish and enjoyed chilling. The local cat seemed like it didn't appreciate a dog on it's property :-) but no worries all good. Great staff and fun times.

Dec. 10, 2019

Warm and Friendly

The Original Crab Shack

Had a very good meal. They were very accommodating with Nikita and everyone fawned over our little princess, even the elf (this was at around the Christmas holiday). All were great and even the cats gave Nikita her own area.

Epic Road trip

Petrified Forest National Park

Had a wonderful visit to this park with our German Shepherd, Nikita. Their BARK Ranger program should be done in every National Park! We were able to walk her on trails and overlooks. This was the most dog friendly NP we visited on our road trip of 5 NPs in this area.

Epic Road trip

Bryce Canyon National Park

Enjoyed visiting this park and bringing our dog. Was able to visit many overlooks with her. Trails are few that a dog is allowed and I understand the reason so this was not an issue. Enjoyed our visit to this great NP and will return.

Epic Road trip

Zion National Park

Park is nice but very little parking. You can park outside the park in town but it was $20. Our dog had limited access so this was not one of our favorite stops along our road trip route. Also since dogs are not allowed on shuttle you cannot visit one whole section of the park only accessed by shuttle. I understand the reason for the shuttle but I feel they should allow dogs.

Jun. 03, 2019

Epic Road trip

Grand Canyon National Park

Enjoyed visiting this great NP. Had plenty of places for our dog to walk and we all enjoyed.

Jun. 03, 2019

Epic Road trip

Big E Steakhouse and Saloon

Staff was friendly and happy to have our dog on the patio, which is enclosed and heated. Had a very good experience. Food was good. Everything is overpriced in this area (fuel was almost $5 a gallon) so that was expected. Highly recommend.

Jun. 03, 2019

Pet Friendly Location

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Kanab an IHG Hotel

Enjoyed our stay here on our road trip out west. Clean room and staff was wonderful. Nice area out front for dog to do their business. Down side was that I requested a ground floor room because of older dog over 3 months in advance and was not provided. I do recommend.

Epic Road trip

Nedras Too

Food was very good, highly recommend. Unfortunately the patio was closed because of weather so we had to get a TOGO meal.

Epic Road trip

Spoons Bistro & Bakery

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful dinner! The staff was great and very happy to see Nikita our German Shepherd. I cannot say enough about the great food and service. Highly recommend that anyone in the area stop here for a meal with their puppy!

Epic Road trip

Clarion Inn Grand Junction

The dog area is wonderful, lots of grass in the interior area, and staff was very friendly with dog. However our room did have a bug issue (roaches and termites). When reported to frontdesk they said it would be addressed which is as much as I can expect. I would give this hotel another chance because of all the other pluses and reviews if I am traveling in this area again.

Jun. 03, 2019

Epic Road trip

Best Western Plus Carousel Inn & Suites

Great room, wonderful caring staff and large grass area for dog. Cannot say enough about our visit to this location. Highly recommend staying here with your dog!

Jun. 03, 2019

Grand Canyon Roadtrip

Grand Canyon Plaza Hotel

There are very few dog friendly hotels in this area. Staff was wonderful and provided a doggie bowl with treat at check-in. Dog potty location out back by the dumpsters (the only grass in the area) was the only down side. Room was clean and quite. This hotel is very close to park entrance. I would recommend this hotel.

Wonderful breakfast

Kix on 66

We had a great breakfast here, they even have a dog menu. Loved being on Rt66. Great service and atmosphere.

Epic Road trip

La Posada Hotel

Stayed here with wife and our German Shepherd, Nikita. Had a wonderful room and amazing space for dog to roam and sniff. Loved the "times gone by" atmosphere. All of the staff was wonderful and very loving to Nikita. She was given cookies often along with many belly rubs. Loved being by the railway watching trains come and go. Could not have picked a better place! Only improvement I can think of is having an outdoor dining patio where we could be served. Currently you must go by and order food and take it yourself to room or other outdoor table (winds and temperature deterred us from being outside at a table). This just became part of the adventure and will definitely come back!

May. 21, 2019

Great Visit

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Tucumcari

Enjoyed our night here. Wonderful staff and nice area for dogs to do their business. Many dogs and family staying here and no noise. Room was clean and comfortable. Great place to stay with Nikita!

Fun day and a picnic

Hot Springs National Park

Great NP with wonderful views. We had a picnic on the mountain top and saw 2 Does with fawns. Small bust very nice park with scenic views and trails.

Jun. 12, 2018

A Days Adventure

Garvan Woodland Gardens

Absolutely the best day spent at Hot Springs. The garden is wonderful and our German Shepherd enjoyed her time sniffing all the wonderful scents. This place is the best dog friendly place to visit. ALSO stop by Chipmunk Cafe for a great lunch outside! Great food and service. Highly recommend this excellent garden.

Always a good stay

Mustang Inn

I have stayed in this hotel several times with my dog. Always been clean and staff really nice. Our dog enjoys her stay each time. Highly recommend.

Jun. 12, 2018

Great place to stay

Quincy Inn and Suites

Hotel was remodeled and it is very nice, clean and they have separate dog rooms close to the door where the pet area resides. Cannot say enough good things about how clean and nice the room was. FYI stated pet fee is for smaller dogs, larger dogs are twice this amount...not a complaint it was worth it. If I am in Quincy again I will definitely stay here.

Jun. 12, 2018

Great Patio

Rolando's

Dogs only allowed on patio. They treated our dog to a bowl of cold water as soon as we sat down. Food was very good and the staff was very friendly.

Jun. 12, 2018

Great Catfish

Bubba's Catfish

Dog friendly because you can only sit outside. They are great and the food is the best catfish you'll find for many miles. Enjoyed our visit and the service was fantastic. If you're in the area definitely a place to visit.

Jun. 12, 2018

Great stay for us and dog

Embassy Suites by Hilton Hot Springs Hotel & Spa

Very nice staff provided our dog with a treat at check-in. Room was great and we enjoyed our stay at Embassy Suites. I will always choice this hotel if they are in the area where we are visiting!

Jun. 12, 2018

Fantastic Visit

The Faded Rose

Unlike picture the front porch is completely covered, so much better for our dog. Water was brought out immediately before our orders were taken. Food was great and service with fantastic. Highly recommend a stop here if you are in Little Rock.
