Do you have dog mom or dog dad guilt when you leave for vacation?
We know. It’s hard to say goodbye to those big, sweet eyes and friendly welcome home wags from your furry pet.
Fortunately, you’ve chosen a city that prides itself on being pet friendly. From outdoor dining options, to Blue Ridge Mountain views, you’re in for a special treat. There is so much to do in Asheville, NC, and your loveable pet can enjoy it all with you. The best part? You can relax and be guilt-free.
We want to help you plan the ideal vacation, so here are our tips for a memorable stay in Asheville at our pet friendly bed and breakfast.
Settle in and Relax Together
We know you love quality time with your furry loved one, and we want you to be able to enjoy their company during your vacation.
We love seeing our guests’ dogs — big or small. From the minute you step into our inn, you and your petwill be well taken care of.
First things first, your dog gets a welcome basket with towels, a lighted leash for night walks, baggies to clean up, and even a relaxation cd. But the pet spoiling doesn’t stop there. Every morning, your sweet pup can chow down on a few breakfast treats along with your own breakfast tray. Because we value your pet, and we want them to have a great stay too.
“I’ve been to dog friendly places, but not on this level! Only certain rooms permit dogs, but those rooms have a basket including towels, and spare leash. There is a pull out dog bed and space for bowls and homemade dog treats. It was great!”
Now, let’s talk about you.
Unwind and relax in our pet friendly rooms in the carriage house. You’ll have access to a private entrance, an enclosed rear patio garden, and even a doggie “trundle bed.” Best of all, you have your own gas fireplace to cozy up to with your furry loved one.
