As I wrote in their travel journal, "Forget Westminster: Cottonwood has the world's best dog!" If you are tired of staying in a generic hotel and want something extra special this Dog is the place to stay. We stopped there for the night on our way to White Bird. The little cookies and food selection were excellent: granola, little shortbread... More

It is a fabulous place to stay and not another of its' kind. It has been on my bucket list for 10yrs every since it was built. I have passed by it on the highway for 10 yrs! Though it is close to the highway, it was very quiet inside. And quiet it was......NO TV! It was the best sleeping... More

My wife and I stopped of at the Dog Bark Park for a couple of nights on a road trip across the US, having seen a description of the place - who would pass up an opportunity to stay in a giant dog? On arrival it soon became apparent that the appeal of this place goes far beyond novelty value.... More

We drove 7 hours from Portland, just to go stay in the wooden dog. Check in time was between 3:30 and 5:30 pm. We got our key and directions on places to visit from the super nice owners. The room didn't smell like dogs at all. I was worried, since you can bring dogs here. We brought our dogs. They... More

Another fantastic trip to the Dog Bark Inn. This was our second time staying at the Dog, and it was just as outstanding as the first time. This time it was drizzling and overcast so we spent a lot more time inside, and with the kids being a year older we were able to discover the joys of Dog-Opoly! It... More

Simply put this is the best place we've ever stayed. A noble and absurd undertaking - made with love and care - Sweet Willy (the big dog you stay in) was fun, silly and cosy. We loved visiting as part of our honeymoon, there were great books about motels and dogs and lovely boardgames which made us smile. A little... More

First off, the owners were super accommodating, we had to get in late and leave early, and they managed to work around our schedule, for which we were really grateful. We went for the novelty, but the inn itself was great. Bed was comfortable and the room was so cute. The place even had a fridge stocked with breakfast food,... More

I had seen the 'Dog Bark Park' in an article on the MSN.ca homepage. Once read about, this became a 'must go to' destination, which did not disappoint. Our party consisted of two couples riding on motorcycles. We stayed at the big dog for one night at the start of August 2012. Dennis & Sprocket, their golden retriever (Frances was... More

I can't say enough how much my family and I enjoyed our stay at the Dog Bark Park Inn. First, the Big Dog: cozy, clean and full of fun things to do - games, books, and more. You wouldn't be able to tell it from the outside, but there's room inside for a queen bed, full sized shower and bath,... More
