We have stayed in a lot of places that are pet-friendly. The Circus City Retreat goes above and beyond dog friendly. If you ski/snowboard this is also a short 20 min drive to Cascade or Devils Head. Will definitely be booking again

We had the best time at this property! We have stayed at VRBO rentals for years and have always brought our dogs but this was by far ths most welcoming for all 3 of our pups. The fenced backyard was perfect for them to run around in and relax, and the neighborhood and nearby river trail were so much fun to explore with them. The location is great - so close to the downtown area as well as the riverwalk and just a few minutes from Devil's Lake State Park. The house was a perfect size and the master bedroom upstairs was really spacious and comfortable. Owners were so easy to communicate with for any questions and quick to reply to messages. We had everything we needed and could not recommend highly enough, especially if you are traveling with your furry family members. Thank you for one of our favorite getaways ever!
