Pet-Friendly Cabins For Your Next Virginia Getaway

A Virginia vacation just isn’t the same without your best friend to share it with, so we’ve rounded up some of the most scenic pet-friendly cabins throughout the Commonwealth. These charmingly rustic rentals provide the perfect overnight accommodations for you and your four-legged friend.

Farmhand Cabin—Waynesboro

Stay with your dog on the grounds of a working farm and brewery when you book the Farmhand Cabin at Stable Craft Brewing. Your pup will love exploring the grounds, and you'll love being able to bring them to the taproom and patio while you enjoy a pint and views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Using the brewery as your base will also give you easy access to Shenandoah National Park and George Washington National Forest. 

Occoneechee State Park Cabins—Clarksville

Plan a getaway with your pup to the peaceful shores of Buggs Island Lake and stay at the cabins at Occoneechee State Park. The park has eleven pet-friendly cabins and two larger lodges that sleep up to 16 people. Over 18 miles of trails wind through the forests and along the lake shore, allowing you and your dog to get a little exercise while enjoying the peaceful scenery of the park.

Lily Ridge Cabin—Whitetop

A luxury cabin that sits on 50 acres of secluded mountain lands, Lily Ridge Cabin is just down the road from the Virginia Creeper Trail and Whitetop Station, making it an ideal lodging option for outdoor enthusiasts looking to travel with their pet. Although there is enough surrounding acreage to take your pup on a leisurely hike without ever leaving the property, Grayson Highlands State Park is another pet-friendly outdoor destination just a short drive away. Spend time soaking in the spectacular mountain views from one of the cabin’s three timber porches, with perfect vantage points allowing you to catch the sunrise from one porch and the sunset from another.

The Cabins at Fariss Farms—Allisonia

Located in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia, the cabins at Fariss Farms make for an ideal vacation spot for you and your pet. In addition to tranquil scenery, the property also has an on-site vineyard and winery where you can relax on the patio with a glass of wine and your furry friend. The farm is close to the New River, Claytor Lake, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and many other outdoor destinations that you can explore with your pet.

Indian Creek Cabins—Willis

There are two pet-friendly rentals available at Indian Creek Cabins, an 80-acre private retreat complete with hiking and horse trails. With expansive covered porches perched 2,700 feet above the surrounding landscape, you’ll have spectacular mountain views available throughout your stay. Each cabin can sleep up to four guests, and with outdoor destinations like the Blue Ridge Parkway, the quaint outdoor town of Floyd, and several pet-friendly wineries, there are a myriad of activities to keep you and your pet entertained during your stay.

Shenandoah Yurt—Stanley

Take your pup on an adventure to Shenandoah National Park and stay overnight right outside the park at Shenandoah Yurt. This mountain hideaway is ideal for small families or groups, as there are two bedrooms with queen-sized beds, but the yurt can accommodate up to eight people if you utilize the king-size sleeper sofa in the loft and the sleeper couch in the living room.  

Catch the sunset from the yurt's deck, where you’ll get an incredible view of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains, and enjoy a relaxing soak with a view from the patio hot tub. Kids (and kids at heart) can find plenty of entertainment at the yurt, from a game room outfitted with a pool table and board games to an archery range outside and bikes available to rent. 

The Cabins at Crabtree Falls—Tyro

Friendly dogs are welcome to stay at the Cabins at Crabtree Falls, a group of four mountain cabins with varying accommodations that sleep 4-8 people. The rentals offer amazing views of the surrounding mountain landscapes, and are just down the road from Crabtree Falls, providing the perfect base camping for your hiking excursion.

Love Ridge Mountain Lodging—Lyndhurst

Four of the mountain cabins at Love Ridge Mountain Lodging offer a dog-friendly experience and provide a great space for humans and their four-legged companions, and with the Blue Ridge Parkway running past the property, you'll have an amazing home base for all your outdoor adventures with man's best friend! 

Snug Harbor Waterfront Cottages—Chincoteague

There are few greater joys for a dog than running through the sand and surf! Book one of the waterfront cottages at Snug Harbor Marina & Resort for an Eastern Shore getaway that both you and your pup will love. The cottages overlook Assateague Island and Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge for uninterrupted views of Virginia’s coastal beauty.

Breaks Park Southern Gap—Grundy

Discover the great outdoors of Southwest Virginia with your four-legged friend, then stay at the heart of the action when you rent a cabin at Breaks Park Southern Gap. The cabins are located at the starting point of Spearhead Trails’ Coal Canyon Trail System, a 112-mile route for ATVs and Dirt Bikes that winds through 5,600 acres of pristine mountain landscapes. Additionally, there are miles of pet-friendly trails in nearby Breaks Interstate Park.

Autumn Ridge Cabin—Stanley

A remote getaway sitting high atop the Blue Ridge Mountains, Autumn Ridge Cabin is located close to Shenandoah National Park, making it another ideal spot for travelers and their dogs looking for epic outdoor adventure. The cabin can comfortably sleep up to five, with a queen bed, full bed, and sleeper sofa, and the back deck offers unbelievable views of the mountains. Unwind after your adventures in the rental’s luxurious hot tub and cook up a hearty meal in the cabin’s fully equipped kitchen or on the charcoal grill.

Cabins at Montfair Resort Farm—Crozet

Montfair Resort Farm has eight pet-friendly (and also eco-friendly!) cabins overlooking a small mountain lake in Albemarle County, only 15 miles away from Charlottesville and less than ten from Shenandoah National Park. Take your dog for a walk on the farm’s on-site hiking trails and explore the woodlands and open fields of the property. There are also over a dozen breweries, vineyards, and cideries within a short drive that are pet-friendly, allowing your pup to tag along for the adventures.
