Some people don’t want to leave their pets behind when they travel and so they look for pet friendly resorts and hotels where their special friends are welcome. The Adirondack Mountains offers a great place to visit with your pets and has plenty of pet friendly accommodations for you to choose from. With plenty of parks, your pets will have as much fun in the Adirondack region as you do and you’ll enjoy having them with you, while you stay at accommodations that welcome your pets.
Waldron Cottages on Raquette Lake
For a rustic yet modern cottage with all the amenities and the opportunity to bring up to two of your dogs along, visiting the Adirondacks gets no better than this. Even large dogs are welcome here and the cottages are open year round. Instead of leaving your four legged friend home alone or boarding him in a kennel, you can treat your dog to a majestic vacation in the Adirondacks too.
Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort
The Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort in beautiful Lake Placid welcomes your pets. For a onetime $50 pet fee, you can bring your dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters. There is no weight restriction for large dogs and according to the front desk, they’ve “had all kinds of pets stay with us.” The third floor of this majestic resort is dedicated to guests with pets and the resort itself is full of amenities. Sitting right on Mirror Lake, your children can build sand castles on the white sand beach and the entire family can enjoy rowboats, canoes, and paddleboats. If you visit the resort in the winter, you can watch or participate in ice skating.
Starry Night Cabins
Starry Night Cabins, located in Schroon Lake Village welcomes your well-mannered pets. For $8 per night or $30 per week, you can bring your pet with you to this majestic area of the Adirondacks. Choose from basic rooms, suites, or detached cabins with full amenities. There are two cabins, which are open all year and offer a full kitchen so you can cook your own food if you wish.
Regardless of where you are planning to stay with your pet when you visit the Adirondacks, do call ahead and make sure you can bring your pet. Most places that accept pets have a limited number of rooms that are dedicated to guests with pets so in peak season, it may be wise to book early. Also, realize that guests are responsible for any damage their pets do and guests are expected to clean up after their pets as well. You can have a wonderful vacation with your pet in the Adirondacks and you have many choices as to where to stay. The above is only a sampling of what you’ll find available in the region.
