“Pets welcome!” is not just a saying at the Stanford Inn. It’s a decades-old commitment from owners Joan and Jeff Stanford: All significant family members can share the experience of the Stanford Inn. We have always traveled with our dogs, Murphy and Ellie, and welcome your friends here.
Over the years we have had a variety of non-human visitors: dogs and cats, of course, but also iguanas, parrots, Vietnamese pot-belly pigs, and a tortoise. If yours is a dog, you’ll find a welcoming treat, stainless steel food, and water dishes, “dog sheets” to protect the furniture so your friend can snuggle with you, Intelligent Products pick-up bags and more.
