If you have a pet at home, you must understand that taking your furry family member on a trip can sometimes become difficult. Most places didn't cater to them, which has changed dramatically over the past few years. Now even 5-star hotels welcome them with open arms, so much so that hotels and resorts now attract customers through them. Go through their Instagram page, and you will see "yappy hour" mentioned at least once.
So let's see which hotels and resorts treat your furry friend as royalty on your next vacation.
1.AutoCamp Resorts
Most of AutoCamp resorts are near national parks, so they are an excellent place for you and your furry friend to explore and go on an adventure together. You can stay in their cabins, camps, or luxury tents.
You can choose from Joshua Tree, Yosemite, Cape Cod, and many more. The best is based on several reviews, and the original location is the Russian River near the small charming town of Guerneville in California. You must pay around $75 for each pet and book by calling them in advance.
