Beautiful Plants For Your Interior
Are you thinking of taking your fur babies on a trip? We all love an ear-flying, tail-wagging, drool-soaking holiday with our pets, but finding pet-friendly cabins and destinations is hard. Many accommodations prohibit furry animals because of the risks to other guests or property.
Fortunately, there are also plenty of places that encourage people to bring along their four-legged friends, and top of these is the Blue Ridge Mountains. The next time you travel with your fur babies, consider staying in one of the pet-friendly cabin rentals in Blue Ridge.
Holidaying with Pets in the Blue Ridge Mountains
The Blue Ridge is exceptionally welcoming to furry animals, with outdoor adventures, outside eating spaces, dog-friendly cabins, and pet-oriented shops. It is home to pet-friendly trails, including Mill Mountain, Roaring Run Falls, Cascade Falls, and Read Mountain. A weekend excursion into the Blue Ridge or a relaxing stay at one of its pet-friendly mountain rentals is a fantastic experience for you and your fur baby. Hungry after a long day of walking? Have alfresco dining at one of Blue Ridge’s pet-friendly restaurants. These include Green Goat, Sweet Donkey Coffee, and Fork in the Market. If you’re looking for waterside views, head to Mango’s, located on the shore of Smith Mountain Lake.

Pet-Friendly Things to do in the
Blue Ridge Mountains
Not only will you find pet friendly cabin rentals in Blue Ridge. You’ll also be surprised by loads of pet-friendly activities. Here are four fun things you should try with your four-legged friends on your trip to the region.
Visit a vineyard. Situated on a former apple orchard about half-an-hour drive from Wintergreen, Barren Ridge Vineyards is a pet-friendly, rustic, and cozy family-run winery. Enjoy award-winning, handcrafted wine with artisan cheeses and charcuterie against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. You can bring your leashed dogs during regular hours. However, check the schedule as pets are not allowed if there is an ongoing event.
Explore the Virginia Blue Ridge Railway Trail
A former rail line, the Virginia Blue Ridge Railway Trail spans seven miles of an easy, scenic route through tranquil woodlands, flower-strewn meadows, farms, old railcars, and historical sites. You’ll also cross five bridges over the Piney and Tye Rivers. It’s one of the best places to go hiking or bikejoring with your dog.
Let your fur baby off the leash and socialize with other pets. Blue Ridge has its fair share of dog parks with nature trails and fenced-in off-leash areas. The closest to Wintergreen Mountain and Ski Getaway include Coyner Springs Park, Gypsy Hill Bark Park, and Claudius Crozet Park.
Perched on Roanoke Valley’s most famous mountain, the iconic Mill Mountain Star stands at 88.5 feet and is lit by 2,000 feet of neon tubing. To get to the landmark, climb the gently-sloping 1.7-mile trail winding through pine, maple, and oak forests. Apart from the star, there’s a wildflower garden, two mountain overlooks, and a zoo on the mountaintop.
