The Westin Monache Resort in Mammoth Lakes sits just steps from the village, so you’ve got easy access to shops, restaurants, and nightlife without much of a walk. It’s a solid choice if you’re bringing your dog along for a mountain getaway.

The resort clearly thinks about dogs staying here—they offer a specially designed dog bed version of their Heavenly Bed, which is a nice touch after a day of hiking or skiing in the Eastern Sierra. The rooms themselves have those oversized bathrooms with Heavenly Bath amenities if you want to relax properly after being outside.

Your dog will need to stay leashed around the property, and they can’t join you in the restaurants or indoor dining areas, which is pretty standard for resorts. But there are outdoor spaces where you can hang out together, and the surrounding area has trails and parks that welcome dogs, so you won’t feel penned in. Just remember that your dog needs to stay with you in the room at all times—the resort takes that seriously, and you’ll sign a waiver at check-in acknowledging responsibility for any damage or extra cleaning.

The location works well for active trips. If you’re planning to ski or hike during the day, you’ve got plenty of options in the Mammoth Lakes area. Coming back to the resort in the evening, you can grab dinner while your dog rests (or head to an outdoor spot if you prefer to keep them with you), then settle into those comfortable rooms.

Call ahead about their specific pet policies before booking—things like whether there are any size restrictions or additional fees. That way you’ll know exactly what to expect when you arrive and can plan accordingly.
