🐾 Traveling With Your Dog? Choose an Airbnb Instead of a Hotel
If you’ve ever struggled to find a hotel that truly welcomes dogs — or been hit with surprise pet fees — you’re not alone. Thankfully, Airbnb hosts are rewriting the rules for dog-friendly travel.
Here at The Sage Chalet
Below are 10 reasons why an Airbnb stay beats a hotel when traveling with your furry friend.
- More Room to Relax
- Airbnbs offer space to spread out — think living rooms, fenced yards, and cozy nooks where your pup can settle in comfortably.
- Private, Fenced Outdoor Space
- At The Sage Chalet, our fully fenced yard and gated porch mean your dogs can play safely off-leash while you unwind.
- No Extra Pet Fees or Breed Restrictions
- Unlike hotels that charge nightly pet fees, most Airbnbs let your pup stay for free or at a low cost. We never charge extra for pets at The Sage Chalet.
- A Home Away From Home
- Dogs feel calmer in a house-like environment — complete with familiar furniture, soft lighting, and homey scents.
- Mealtime Made Easy
- With a full kitchen, preparing food for both you and your pet is simple and stress-free.
- Thoughtful Pet Amenities
- At The Sage Chalet, we provide dog bowls, treats, toys, and waste bags — everything to make travel easier.
- Peace and Quiet
- Say goodbye to hallway noise, slamming doors, and hotel elevators. Airbnbs are private, quiet, and help reduce your dog’s anxiety.
- Better Neighborhoods for Walks
- Airbnbs like ours are located in walkable neighborhoods near trails and parks — not just next to a highway exit.
- Flexible Check-In & Check-Out
- Need extra time? Airbnb hosts are usually happy to accommodate flexible schedules — especially if it helps your pup’s routine.
- Real Hospitality
- When you stay at a pet-friendly Airbnb, you’re hosted by people who love dogs — not by a corporate chain with a policy binder.
