Dog-Friendly Cottonwood to Sedona: Patios, Wineries & Hotels

The Verde Valley is good country for a dog, and so is the red-rock drive up to Sedona. Plenty of patios, wineries and hotels welcome a well-behaved pup, and we have mapped the close ones with honest drive times. Want your dog looking and smelling sharp first? A quick groom does the trick. We are just down Cherry Street from Old Town Cottonwood, about five minutes from the Main Street tasting rooms and about twenty from Sedona.

Dog-friendly patios, closest first

Patios and pet policies change with the season, so it is worth a quick call ahead. Look and smell sharp first with a spa-day groom.

Dog-friendly places to stay

Pet fees and policies change often, so confirm with the hotel. A heads-up: many places here do not allow a dog to be left alone in the room, so day boarding or daycare with us is the easy fix while you are out.

Built with dog travelers in mind, with a Dog Suite and a Dog Cottage that has its own fenced yard. A short drive to drop your pup with us for the day.

L'Auberge de Sedona, Amara, Element Sedona, Arabella and Enchantment all welcome dogs (fees and size limits vary). Several do not allow dogs to be left alone in the room, so bring yours to us for the day. Verify the current pet policy when you book.

Make a day of it, and we will keep the dog fresh

Heading out for a patio lunch or a tasting-room afternoon? Start with a spa-day groom so your dog is the best-looking one on the patio, then drop them with us for daycare while you tour the rooms dogs cannot join. Staying the night? We do overnight boarding too. And if your dog meets a skunk on a Verde Valley evening, our $35 de-skunk treatment gets them Aloha-fresh again. Guests and locals welcome. Whether you are down the road or over the mountain, you are 'ohana here.

Patio day or wine day? Get them groomed first.
