How to Find the Perfect Pet Hotel for Your Palisades Tahoe Adventure
Planning a summer or winter escape to Palisades Tahoe? Awesome choice. Our neighbors slightly to the south regularly deliver epic mountain views, outdoor excursions, and a chance to unwind in what is perhaps one of California’s most iconic alpine destinations.
If you’re traveling with your dog, however, one question typically lingers: where can your pet stay while you hit the slopes, enjoy a fine meal, or take in the sights, solo?
Most travelers would start by searching the net for a “pet-friendly hotel.” The truth, however, is that the perfect pet hotel for your Palisades Tahoe adventure isn’t a hotel at all.
The Problem with So-Called “Pet-Friendly” Hotels
Sure, plenty of hotels in and around Palisades Tahoe may advertise themselves as “pet friendly.” Read the fine print, though, and you’ll quickly discover that “pet-friendly” frequently translates as “pets tolerated… with restrictions.”
From size and breed limitations to additional fees and rules that prohibit leaving your dog unattended, many accommodations can make it difficult, if not altogether impossible, for your dog to feel welcome (and for you to enjoy your stay).
Even pet hotels that allow dogs and/or cats often lack the space, staff, or amenities to ensure your dog is safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re out exploring.
Why a Pet Lodge is the Better Choice
Whether you’re spending the day skiing, riding the tram, or grabbing drinks in The Village, you’ll want your dog to be somewhere warm, safe, and stimulating, not stuck in a hotel room, staring at the walls, or curled up alone.
