Vacations are awesome, right? You get to take time off of work or school and visit places you’ve never been or places you want to go back to. For those of you who travel with a pet, you have to think, “where can I go that will let me bring my pet along? What can we do together?”

Pet lovers, we’ve got good news for you! Not only is the Sidney James Mountain Lodge pet friendly, there’s quite a few pet friendly things to do in Gatlinburg TN, too! Each attraction offers different opportunities for you and your pet to enjoy your vacation.

1. The National Park

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a great place to visit if you’re the outdoors-y type, especially if you want your pet to get some exercise with you. The Gatlinburg Trail is the only pet friendly hiking trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, but you can have your pet on off-trail roads in the park as long as they are leashed.

2. Dollywood

Dollywood offers boarding services for your pets while you enjoy the park. But keep in mind, if you decided to do that, you need to make reservations ahead of time and bring some food so your pet doesn’t get too hungry! Prices do vary based on the options you decide to take advantage of when you use Doggywood. Click here to learn more about the Doggywood services at Dollywood!
