Placer County activities promise a tail-waggin’ good time, of course. And when you’re ready to unwind, dog-friendly Placer County hotels, motels, B&Bs and vacation rentals offer welcoming options for travelers and their furry friends. You can choose a boutique property with great amenities, gather the family in a spacious home, or book a quiet, cozy cabin that puts nature at your doorstep.
Roseville’s Best Western Plus Orchid Hotel & Suites is a comfortable Gold Country home base with complimentary breakfast and whirlpool tubs in select suites. Up to two dogs (80-pound limit) are welcome for $25 per pet per day. The hotel sits close to shopping and restaurants, making it easy to combine daytime adventures with a relaxed evening. In Auburn, the Foothills Motel is a retro-cool spot with modern, dog-friendly rooms plus arcade games, bowling and an on-site diner. It’s the kind of place where you check in and immediately feel at home — and your dog gets the same warm welcome you do.
The 24-room Basecamp Hotel Tahoe City is a modern option that’s a five-minute walk from the lake. Call ahead to reserve your pup-friendly room ($45 pet fee). Tahoe Moon Properties welcomes dogs in select rental cabins, condos and lakefront homes throughout Tahoe City, King’s Beach and beyond. Hauserman Rental Group also accommodates furry family members that are one year or older at many of its 200 rental properties on the lake and in Alpine Meadows and Olympic Valley. Book early for the best selection.
When choosing your Placer County lodging, think about what your dog enjoys most. If your pup loves water, a lakefront rental with direct beach access gives them a chance to splash without a long drive. If hikes are more their style, a cabin near the Tahoe Rim Trail or the Western States Trail puts you right at a trailhead. Many properties provide dog beds, food bowls, and even treat baskets at check-in, so ask about pet amenities when you book. A few also offer fenced yards — a real bonus for pups who like off-leash time in a safe setting.
No matter where you stay, Placer County’s mix of Gold Rush towns, alpine scenery and lake access keeps both dogs and their people entertained from morning hikes to fireside evenings.
