Southern Vemont has hotels, resorts that welcome your dog friends

You want a classic Vermont getaway, but you don’t want to leave your dog behind? Problem solved at two historic properties owned by The Landmark Trust USA. Dogs are more than welcome at The Sugarhouse and The Amos Brown House. The Sugarhouse is a cozy, rustic one-bedroom cabin at the edge of a stand of maples still used for spring sugaring. The 1915 cabin has a gas log stove and a restful screened porch. The Amos Brown House, a Federal Style brick farmhouse, sleeps six people in three bedrooms. It, too, has a gas log fireplace and a sweet front porch. Take a stroll down the country road or a nearby trail that meanders through the woods.

Your furry family member is more than welcome at the Manchester View, where dogs 40 pounds and under, as well as their humans, will fall in love with this scenic property nestled in a tranquil valley between the Green and Taconic Mountains. With most room entrances opening directly to the outside, and an almost unending variety of trails and a dog park nearby, this is the perfect dog-and-human escape, every season of the year. Explore trails at Merck Forest and the pond loop through the hardwoods or a short walk through mature forests at Equinox Preservation. The Manchester View’s rooms and one- and two-bedroom suites have cozy features including in-season gas or wood-burning fireplaces, deep-soaking spa tubs, private decks or patios, and windows that open to those wonderful Vermont breezes.
