Is that a hotel shaped like a dog?
YES!! I saw an article on Dog Bark Park Inn aaaand within one minute, booked a night no questions asked — a total impulse purchase, ha.
So, this is quite literally a one-room Beagle-shaped bed + breakfast and just the cutest thing ever. His tail is a chimney! It’s in the middle of nowhere in Idaho (we flew into Portland and drove the 6 hours to Cottonwood, Idaho) and the artists who created it — Dennis and Frances — are just the sweetest couple that ever lived. Inspired by their own beagles (now passed) Tony and Sweet Willy.
There are some cool sculptures and carvings on the lot too, like a giant fire hydrant (a real porta-potty!) and a huge coffee pot.
With the room, you also get a delicious homemade breakfast, snacks and cookies and a ton of puzzles, games, dog books, no TV but yes, there is WIFI. Up to two pets, any size, are welcome for an additional $15/pet!
Rooms start at $125. $15 per pet, per stay. 2421 Business Loop 95, Cottonwood ID 83522.
[…] It’s a giant Beagle! This adorable bed + breakfast was built by 2 artists in Idaho and has become a famous landmark affectionally called Sweet Willy. It’s set on spacious acres with other interesting knick-knacks built on it like a giant coffee pot and fire hydrant. A sweet spot to literally get away (no phone or TV) and relax. A night will only set you back $130 plus $15 for a pet. Read my full review here. […]
