Where to Stay: Dog Friendly Hotels in the Hudson Valley and Catskills

You know who loves adventure even more than you do? Your dog. And with leaf-peeping season in full swing, there’s no better time to escape to the Hudson Valley and Catskills—where fiery autumn colors meet cozy small towns, winding trails, and crisp mountain air. We’ve tracked down the best dog-friendly stays in the Hudson Valley and Catskills—so you and your canine companion can roam, relax, and recharge together. From pet-welcoming lodges to trailside cabins, these stays are built for adventure (and belly rubs). Because let’s be real: a leaf-peeping trip isn’t complete without your best friend riding shotgun. That’s a getaway worth barking about.

Just a friendly reminder, always give your hotel a heads up that your pet is coming along and make sure you understand their full pet policy.
