We love to travel and take road trips. Our little Maltipoo is our constant companion.

Dog friendly

This hotel was built in 1945 and has been updated but I still think it’s “rustic”. Our room was clean and comfortable enough. We slept well but there was zero dining options at the hotel. The front desk guy said go to Madison Lounge they have a great wine list and are dog friendly. They are not dog friendly and the wait was an hour long. I realize we visited at peak season along with a virus going on but come on!! We ended up at Slippery Otter which has no outside dining but they made an accommodation for our small Maltipoo and we were able to eat after a 45 minute wait. Breakfast was available but it was basically a line of people with no where to sit (Covid related issue) we opted out. Visiting National Parks is never pleasant but the beauty supersedes all the hassle of marginal food and rustic lodging.

Dog Friendly (Kind Of)

Bird & the Bottle

We were referred to this restaurant by the hostess of the Airbnb we were staying at.
We had to wait for a patio table due to Covid, people dining without dogs prefer patio dining.
My issue is with the host telling me to seat my dog on the ground and off of my lap while we were waiting to be seated.
We were sitting on a couch outside the front door of the restaurant and we were not eating nor were we near people who were dining. I placed her on the ground because I didn’t want to say anything like why? Only due to emotions running high over this whole covid bs but come on!
We were seated in the corner by an exit ramp so, the draft was strong and my husband was freezing. The heat lamp was good for me but not strong enough for him to feel it. The entire time, I felt like we were being watched and if our pup stood on her hind legs they would say something. She’s our baby and is used to being with us and eating with us. For me to consider a place “dog friendly” it would be the staff being friendly to our pup, bringing a bowl of water without being asked and a dog menu would be nice. I fed her some of my chicken on the DL because I thought I would be scolded for feeding her.
The food is ok, we had the matzah ball soup which was tasty because it was so cold. The little gem salad was great but the chicken wings were overcooked and we specifically asked for ranch without the goat cheese and it came with the goat. Our waiter was sweet to bring two other dipping options but it wasn’t enough for us to go back again.
We’ve traveled all over with our pup, she is well behaved and friendly. We prefer establishments who understand how to make patrons with fur babies feel welcome.

Perfect Place 4 Fido

HopMonk Tavern

We loved this place!! Warm enclosed patio with friendly staff and yummy food. We had the Pumpkin Soup, Stilton w/Blackberry Jam on Toast, Marcona Almonds and the Chicken Wings. Everything was delicious except the wings were over cooked. Our puppy loved the fresh carrots that came with the wings. We will definitely be back to enjoy this hidden gem!!
