Explore our curated selection of pet-friendly vacation rentals across the US. Discover the perfect accommodations for both you and your pets.

Picture waking up with your dog in a pet-friendly vacation rental surrounded by nature. You play fetch in the garden right outside your door, take the hiking trails near your property, or explore nearby towns to meet new people (and pups). Life's sweet with your four-legged best friend, and you both get to enjoy a home away from home.

If you're an avid traveler and a pet owner, finding pet-friendly rentals is a crucial piece of the puzzle. Spotting properties that won't treat your pet as a second-class citizen can be tricky, especially when, in most rentals, pets might be tolerated but not really welcomed. It's always a safe bet when the hosts are animal lovers, too, but where do you even begin to find them?

In this article, we've compiled a list of our top pet-friendly rentals in the US that will guarantee an inclusive and memorable stay for the whole family (including your furry companion). Whether you crave pet-friendly beach houses, lakeside cottages, or riverfront cabins, we have the perfect getaway. Don't forget to book directly with Houfy to avoid extra booking fees!

Pet-friendly Rentals for Carefree Vacations With Your Fur Baby

1. Good Woods Cottage - Okemo Killington - Dog Friendly - Plymouth

This dog-friendly cocoon at Plymouth, Vermont, is a 2400 square feet lakefront gem that can accommodate up to 8 guests. Hosted by Alecia, one of Houfy's featured hosts, it maintains a rustic, old-time charm that'll draw you in, wrap you up, and beg you to stay awhile.

Come and enjoy the nostalgia and make memories of crisp winter or warm summer days spent on the lake. Take a nap amidst the colorful foliage, observe the ducks, the geese, the turtles, and the eagles, or enjoy some freshly squeezed lemonade on the porch.

Spend countless hours playing with your four-legged friend in the garden, and enjoy joyful waggy tails as your dog runs freely outside. Explore hidden swimming holes and hiking trails together, or rest while watching the fantastic view of the lake. Don't forget to take a picture of your pet to create your own page in the host's doggie photo album.

Finally, get a taste of the generous amenities, such as the hot tub, the firepit, the grilling areas, and the volleyball court. You can also find fishing and boating opportunities and a private beach nearby. Dreamy!
