Northern Michigan Escapes offers:
A growing trend for Northern Michigan Escapes is pet-friendly vacations. While more than half of all hotels in the country allow pets, fewer vacation rental properties are pet-friendly. There are a lot of benefits of a per family vacation rental that many rental property owners don’t consider.
Most pet owners consider their pets to be part of the family and prefer to include them when making vacation plans. Northern Michigan Escapes considers the benefits of a pet-friendly vacation rental when renting properties to single and retired travelers. Many of these visitors feel more secure in a strange place when their pets are allowed to stay with them.
Another benefit of a pet-friendly vacation rental is many single pet owners who live alone spend a lot of time with their pets and love the companionship when their family isn’t nearby. It’s difficult to leave your best friend behind when you travel, especially when there’s a strong bond between the pet and the owner. Vacation rentals that allow pets are more likely to have repeat bookings from satisfied guests.
One of the most significant benefits of a pet-friendly vacation rental is pet parents aren’t on a guilt trip when they have to board their dog or cat at a boarding kennel. Although most pet boarding facilities provide excellent care for pets, owners still worry when they’re away on vacation. If your pet is on a special diet or needs medication, you know they’re getting everything it needs.
If you plan your vacation for a week or two, bringing your furry friend along for the trip is another of the benefits of a pet-friendly vacation rental. The average cost of a boarding facility can start at approximately $25 per day per pet. The cost may depend on the size of the pet. The cost savings of a pet-friendly vacation rental can be significant. When you pay a pet deposit, it may be less than boarding your pet for a week or two.
Pet products are one of the fastest-growing industries. Pet owners spend more than $60 billion each year. More hotels, restaurants, retail outlets, and public venues are allowing pets. When pet parents are searching for vacation rentals, they’re likely to book at one that’s pet-friendly. Increased revenue is another of the benefits of a pet-friendly vacation rental. Allowing pets at a rental property means you still get bookings when it’s not peak travel season.
A vacation in Northern Michigan is perfect for outdoor activities. A stunning mountain resort to ski in and ski out, where you and your dog can explore, is one of the benefits of a pet-friendly vacation rental. Your pup will have plenty of space to run safely. You’ll love the tranquility and will love being able to take your pup along on long, leisurely drives.
Do you still need more reasons to book pet-friendly accommodations? The benefits of a pet-friendly vacation rental are you have more space. You don’t have a guilt trip about keeping your pup confined to a crate in your hotel room. Your pet can relax in its bed, enjoy favorite treats, and be pampered. It’s almost like being at home.

Pet owners who routinely take their dogs on trips know it benefits them too. If you’ve never taken your dog on vacation before, consider this. Visiting a new place is beneficial for your pup. Dogs are social animals; they enjoy meeting new people and exploring different places.
Dogs need physical and mental stimulation in the same way humans do. Taking your dog along for a run while you’re cross-country skiing, taking a hike through the woods, or going for long walks along the beach are excellent ways for you and your dog to stay in shape and bond closer. The perfect escape for your family can begin in Northern Michigan. It’s fun to explore new places with your dog. Just remember to keep your pup leashed when you’re outside.
