Trees Motel is a straightforward 16-room option in Bishop with genuine appeal for dog owners. The big draw here is the large grassy yard and picnic area—the kind of space where you can actually let your dog run around without worrying about tight quarters or parking lot views. Several guests mention this yard specifically when talking about traveling with dogs, and it’s easy to see why.

The motel allows dogs (the limit is three pets of any size) for $20 per night, and rooms come in non-smoking and some with kitchenettes, which is helpful if you’re planning to cook. Standard amenities include air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, refrigerators, microwaves, and coffee makers. The rooms have Tempur-Pedic mattresses and your choice of pillows, which matters after a day of hiking. There’s free on-site parking and a complimentary shuttle if you want to head over to the nearby Paiute Palace Casino.

Location-wise, you’re centrally placed in Bishop with easy access to trails and outdoor activities. Little Lakes Valley Trail is less than a mile away, and Bishop City Park is similarly close. If you’re using this as a base for exploring the Eastern Sierra, Mammoth Mountain skiing is about 45 minutes south.

Check-in is between 3 and 9 PM, checkout by 11 AM. Rates typically run from around $108 to $119 per night depending on season. It’s not fancy, but it’s functional and genuinely dog-friendly in a way that matters—you’ve got actual grass and outdoor space rather than just a pet policy. The location puts you close enough to Bishop restaurants and shops that you won’t feel isolated, but far enough out to feel like you’re actually in the mountains.
