Have you been thinking about bringing your dog with you on your next trip to the Smoky Mountains? You should bring them with you, because they deserve a vacation just as much as you do! There’s nothing more fun than having your pet with you, and you’ll make plenty of memories together while you’re away. Check out these 6 perks of bringing your dog to our pet friendly hotel in Gatlinburg TN:

1. Don’t Have to Worry About Them

Most pet owners understand worrying about their animals while they are away on vacation. Since we are a dog friendly hotel, you won’t have to worry about your pets when you bring them with you to our pet friendly hotel in Gatlinburg TN! You’ll know exactly where they are, what they are doing, and how much fun they are having with you on the trip! You’ll love the peace of mind you’ll get from having your dog tag along on your vacation.

2. Save Some Money

Boarding kennels and pet sitter costs can quickly add up if you leave your dog at home. While we do have a small pet fee, it’s significantly less than what you would pay for someone to watch your dog for you. Plus, you’ll know exactly what kind of love and care your dog is getting because they will be with you!

3. Do Fun Things Together
