Door County Pet Friendly Hotels

The Country House is pleased to welcome discriminating dogs and their owners.
Check out Riley’s Recommendations below for some of his favorite dog friendly shops, restaurants and parks.
As dog owners and lovers, we know how difficult it is to find pet friendly hotels. Our resort not only allows dogs, but welcomes well-behaved dogs wholeheartedly. (We apologize but we cannot accommodate other types of pets).
We have a limited number of dog friendly rooms & suites. If you wish to make reservations that include your dog, PLEASE CALL THE RESORT do not make your reservation online.
