Dog-Friendly Hotels & Inns in the White Mountains
The White Mountain National Forest allows dogs on most of its trails, so the region works for a hiking trip with a dog. The dog-friendly lodging here is mostly inns, motels and condo-style resorts: Wildcat Inn & Tavern in Jackson Village, The Lodge at Lincoln Station beside the Pemigewasset River, and Town & Country Inn on 160 acres in Shelburne, with trails starting on the property.
