Pet-friendly hotels in Asheville like Aloft offer fun doggy add-ons like a doggy bed, goody bags and rooftop walking area for your furry visitor. Other places like cabins and B&Bs provide a home-like environment for you and your pet, some even have large fenced-in areas for your dog to run.
Tips for Pet-Friendly Lodging: Call and ask plenty of questions about pet policies/fees, facilities, and places to walk your pet. Ask about pet sitters (avoid leaving your dog alone in a strange room). Keep your pet leashed outdoors and in all public areas.
