The Best Time to Visit Vermont with Your Dog

Vermont is a true four-season getaway, and no matter what time of year you visit, you will find a strong emphasis on outdoor activities like hiking, paddling, and snowshoeing.

If your Vermont cabin dreams have you trekking through the snow and relaxing in front of the fireplace, book your stay in January or February, when you’ll likely find the best deals of the year.

If Vermont’s fall foliage, hot apple cider, and crunchy leaves underfoot are more your style, you’ll find all types of pet-friendly cabins available throughout Vermont. Fall cabin rentals book quickly in Vermont, so reserve your stay as early as you can if you plan to visit in the fall.

A Few Tips for Renting Pet-Friendly Cabins in Vermont

Flynn feels at home wherever he goes!

Book as early as you can: Vacation rental sites are more popular than ever, in part because of the number of unique dog-friendly properties. While we love spontaneous vacations, we’ve found that booking our Vermont cabin rental several months in advance gives us a lot more choices.

Make note of the pet fee: Pet fees can vary wildly from place to place! As an example, just in this list of properties, the pet fee ranges from $0 to $75 per dog. Make sure to consider this when booking your cabin.

Check the listing for other fees: We love staying in vacation rentals when we travel with our dogs, but we don’t love the extra fees that add up. Whether you choose VRBO or Airbnb as your listing platform, there will likely be added fees, and they are different for each listing. If you’re anything like me, you’ll silently curse as that $300 stay turns into a $600 stay, and you’ll keep scrolling until you find something that you love and you can afford.

Read and understand the cancelation policy: We have found that most of the VRBO rentals we’ve stayed in have a pretty forgiving cancelation policy, but it does vary from place to place, so read the listing carefully before booking.

Be mindful of the rules regarding pets: Standard etiquette dictates that you clean up after your dog, but some places have additional rules, like no dogs on the furniture, no cats, or even that you can’t leave your animal unattended in the cabin. Keep these in mind before booking.
