Bring the dog. We've been waiting.
The most pet-friendly inn in Mount Shasta — and a local field guide to hiking, eating, and exploring the mountain with your dog.
We didn't add dogs
as an afterthought.
Every room type here is configured to welcome a dog. We've got the outdoor space, the practical setup, and a staff that genuinely lights up when you walk in with a leash in hand. Below, the honest details on what to expect and where to take them once you're here.

Real outdoor space. No designer dog bowls.
We're not going to pretend we've built a luxury pet spa. What we have is something better: a property designed for the way people and dogs actually travel in the mountains. Room to stretch, a place to relieve, a fire to gather around, and a team that's seen it all.
Where dogs make friends faster than their humans do.
Most of us are dog owners ourselves. You'll notice.
Pull up outside your room. No hauling gear through hallways with a dog on a leash.
Just beyond the fire pit. Waste bags and a covered bin, well-stocked.
Mount Shasta with a dog.
Everything our team recommends when guests ask where to take a dog around here. Trails worth driving to, restaurants that won't kick you out, and a few activities your dog might actually thank you for.
If your dog hasn't swum in alpine water, this is the one. A flat loop around a glacial lake with shoreline access the whole way. Cool even in August. Bring a towel and a tennis ball.
The most dog-famous trail on the mountain, and for good reason. High alpine forest, mountain views, and a clear path that stays outside the wilderness boundary. Waste bags available at the trailhead.
A short trail through ferns and moss to a quiet cascade at the old Ney Springs ruins. Can get slippery near the water — sturdy footwear recommended (for humans, that is).
A flat lakeside loop with the mountain reflected across the water the whole way. Access points for wading along the trail. Note: dogs aren't permitted at the resort beach — use the trail access points for water breaks.
Three waterfalls in a row, riverside walking, mostly shaded. Dogs can wade in the calmer sections between falls — keep them away from the main cascades where current is strong.
A boardwalk through a restored wetland right in the heart of town. Easy morning stroll straight from the Inn.
The beloved local staple with an outdoor garden patio where leashed dogs are welcome. Broad menu, reliable food, right down the road.
Great burgers and a rotating craft tap list on a covered outdoor patio. One of the most dog-friendly setups in town.
Brick-oven pizzas and local craft beer with outdoor seating downtown.
Solid Mexican food on a relaxed outdoor patio. Easy, casual, and dog-friendly.
The morning stop. Patio seating, great espresso, breakfast burritos. Open early.
Mount Shasta's main community park — and it has a dedicated dog park where your pup can run off-leash. Disc golf and a playground for the humans.
A leash-friendly stroll through a city park to the actual source of the Sacramento River — a spring that bubbles up ice cold and crystal clear. Easy, short, and genuinely fascinating.
A restored wetland boardwalk in the heart of downtown with unobstructed mountain views. Walkable from the Inn, leash required.
The entire downtown strip is dog-friendly and walkable. Shops, restaurants with outdoor seating, water bowls, and a mountain in view the whole time.
Native plants and peaceful riverside trails along the Upper Sacramento, only 10 minutes from the Inn. On-leash dogs welcome. Quiet in the way only small towns can be.
Pick your layout — the dog is invited to all of them.
Unlike most hotels, every room type here welcomes dogs — not just a handful of designated rooms. We ask that you register your pet at booking so we can place you thoughtfully and have everything ready when you arrive.
ADA service animals are welcome in all rooms with no fee. Just let us know at booking so we can have everything ready.
