White Mountains region has plenty of hotels & motels that welcome the family dog

Should you plan to vacation in the mountains of New Hampshire without the family pet? Absolutely not! At the RiverWalk Resort at Loon Mountain, they have several pet-friendly, spacious suites available for one dog or cat of any size. That means everyone in the family can enjoy all the great outdoors in this vibrant region. For your dog, that might mean exploring the miles of trails in the breathtaking White Mountain National Forest, rewarding two- and four-foot hikers with jaw-dropping views. Or it might mean strolling through the area’s towns and villages, with many dog-friendly shops and outdoor eateries. Back at the resort, amenities for human guests include pools, hot tubs, an on-site winery and spa and La Vista restaurant, famous for its wood-fired pizza.

If you took a survey of dogs, they’d no doubt tell you what every dog-owner knows: The Mt. Washington Valley is chock full of pet-friendly places to stay and things to do. There are country inns, resorts, campgrounds and townhouses that accept pets, many that are close to trails and waterways and offer everything from beds to special treats for your furry companions. Hiking options are plentiful, from walks along the Saco River to mountain climbs and wildlife sanctuary trails. And dogs are welcome at some unusual attractions, too, like guided canoe trips along the Saco River, in the scenic (summer) gondola at Wildcat Mountain and, after you drive Fido up the auto trail, outside the observatory at Mt. Washington. Click above to visit our website or call our friendly concierge at 800-337-3563 for more info on first class lodging and exciting events to plan your next adventure!

Dogs are so welcome at the White Mountain Hotel & Resort that they have their own special club! Canine guests, official members of the Bed and a Bone Club, will be provided with a food/water bowl, waste cleanup bags, a dog toy, an organic dog treat and a discount for a local pet store. The beautiful, recently renovated four-season resort features a variety of excellent walking, hiking and biking trails that begin on or near the property. Take your pooch on a tour of covered bridges, waterfalls, great picnic sites and forests. And you’ll find several dog-friendly merchants and eateries in nearby downtown North Conway, NH.

White Mountain Hotel is honored to be a AAA® Four Diamond™ property!

The best vacations are the ones where you don’t have to leave the dog behind, and at the Woodstock Inn Brewery, they specialize in the best vacations. That means several of the inn’s 40+ rooms and suites and vacation home accommodations are dog-friendly, with treats, bowls and cleanup bags provided. There’s a grassy area on the property that is fine for dogs, but you’ll have no trouble finding places for great walks and hikes in the White Mountains, many leading to spectacular views, swimming holes and waterfalls. Many of the area’s merchants on village Main Streets also welcome dogs with water bowls outside their establishments. Back at the inn, the brewery’s seasonal Dam Bar patio also welcomes dogs. It’s a great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

With trails galore in the area and spacious accommodations, the Eagle Mountain House & Golf Club is a welcome vacation destination for dogs who don’t want to be left at home when their humans are having fun. The hotel, surrounded by the 800,000-acre White Mountain National Forest, offers a limited number of dog-friendly rooms for up to two dogs per room with a total weight of 110 pounds or less. A trail leading to Eagle Mountain can be accessed from the parking lot, but other trails, for hiking or snowshoeing or cross-country skiing with your pet, can be found nearby. Ask at the front desk for suggestions. For human guests, the hotel features a popular tavern, a seasonal outdoor heated pool and a nine-hole golf course.
