Water view dog-friendly cottages and tables

By: DogTrekker Staff
A vibrant dog park bathed in sunlight features abundant greenery with mature trees, offering ample shade for leisurely outdoor activities. In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.

Take a gorgeous national seashore and sprinkle in some intriguing history. Then, add luxury cottages, an oyster bar, and a restaurant. Give it a shake, and what do you get? Nick’s Cove Restaurant, Oyster Bar & Cottages, a dog-friendly, boutique resort on Tomales Bay in Marin County, just outside Point Reyes National Seashore.

Since the 1930s, the cozy cabins at Nick’s Cove have accommodated sightseers, fishing fans and outdoor adventurers exploring the beautiful Tomales Bay coast. Book direct and save.

Seven of Nick’s 12 cottages are dog-friendly, with tons of treats for people and pups. Room amenities include down comforters, wood-burning fireplaces and heated bathroom floors, and some accommodations have wraparound porches and water views.

Dogs get spoiled with comfortable beds and water bowls. Four-legged friends can also join their people on a waterfront patio, with restaurant service for breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktail hour.

There are a couple special things to note about April. All month long, Nick’s Cove will be making home-made dog treats that their four-legged guests will receive upon arrival. Also, you will be able to enjoy newly revamped and rejuvenated cottages.

What else can you do here besides eat, drink, rest and watch the water? Stop in Point Reyes Station for picnic fare and famous artisan cheeses by Cowgirl Creamery. Then head to Limantour Beach, Dillon Beach or other dog-friendly strands where your pup can run and splash.
