Dog-Friendly Resort

Sit. Stay. Relax.

At Sycamore Springs Resort, your pup is more than welcome – they’re part of the experience! Whether it’s their first vacay or they’re a regular adventurer, treat yourselves to a dog-friendly retreat you’ll both love.

Our VIPs (Very Important Pups) receive a doggie bed, water bowl, and a dog toy set in your room for your stay! The required Dog Fee is $65 per night for the first 3 nights (max $195). The fee also covers specialty housekeeping for furry friends. Maximum 2 dog per room. Sycamore has no breed limits or weight limits. Big or small, we LOVE them all!
