Fantastic Cabin in the Smokeys
Dancing Bear LodgeThis 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 RoadGet 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 ParkI 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 BistroWonderful 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 GrilleThe 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 CafeWe 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 & GrillThis 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 & ShrimpHad 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 CookevilleThis 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 HotelFirst 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 & GrillWhile 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 BayHotel 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 SaloonNIkita, 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.
Awesome Location Sooooo Dog Friendly
Ciao HoundNIkita 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 SeaNIkita 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 MuseumNikita, 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 RestaurantWent 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.
Great Breakfast
Mrs. Mac's Kitchen IINote 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 CompanyWaitress 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.
Good Breakfast Location
Mangrove Mike's CafeBreakfast 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 GrillGreat 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 MonumentStaff 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 BeachThey 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 SeafoodHad 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.
Warm and Friendly
The Original Crab ShackHad 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 ParkHad 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 ParkEnjoyed 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 ParkPark 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.
Epic Road trip
Grand Canyon National ParkEnjoyed visiting this great NP. Had plenty of places for our dog to walk and we all enjoyed.
Epic Road trip
Big E Steakhouse and SaloonStaff 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.
Pet Friendly Location
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Kanab an IHG HotelEnjoyed 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 TooFood 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 & BakeryWonderful, 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 JunctionThe 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.
Epic Road trip
Best Western Plus Carousel Inn & SuitesGreat 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!
Grand Canyon Roadtrip
Grand Canyon Plaza HotelThere 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 66We had a great breakfast here, they even have a dog menu. Loved being on Rt66. Great service and atmosphere.
Epic Road trip
La Posada HotelStayed 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!
Great Visit
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham TucumcariEnjoyed 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 ParkGreat 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.
A Days Adventure
Garvan Woodland GardensAbsolutely 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 InnI 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.
Great place to stay
Quincy Inn and SuitesHotel 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.
Great Patio
Rolando'sDogs 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.
Great Catfish
Bubba's CatfishDog 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.
Great stay for us and dog
Embassy Suites by Hilton Hot Springs Hotel & SpaVery 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!
Fantastic Visit
The Faded RoseUnlike 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.
