Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains offer outdoor adventure in spades. Whether you want to hike, kayak or ski, you can do it all — and with your favorite furry friend in tow.

However, finding pet-friendly lodging in the region comes with its challenges. There are several ski and casino-geared resorts that are top picks for many travelers, but they might not necessarily be a good fit for canine companions.

To help you find the perfect Poconos spot to kick back at night with the entire crew, Fido included, here are 9 of the best pet-friendly cabin rentals in the Poconos.

1. Promise Kept Cabin

Why you should stay here: Classic cabin vibes with lots of outdoor space.

Sleeps: 16
Minimum Stay: 2 nights
Rates from: $377/night

Promise Kept Cabin is a traditional cabin in every sense. It sports the big soaring ceilings, the giant stone fireplace, the spiral staircase to the loft above, and more. Outside, you’ll find lots of room to hang out and relax with your up to two well-behaved dogs.

There’s a new, seven-person hot tub that’s just steps away from a fire pit. Multiple decks provide the perfect space to take in the woodsy scenery and sip your morning coffee or a sunset cocktail.

Need to host more than 16 people for your getaway? If you’re traveling as a big extended family or group of friends, or even as a group of coworkers on a company retreat, you can get even more space when you rent the similar cabin across the road, owned by the same host.

3. Tanglewood Lakes Cabin

Why you should stay here: A cabin with serious chalet style

Sleeps: 14
Minimum Stay: 3 nights
Rates from: $418/night

The gorgeous dark wood, hanging chandeliers, stonework and more all combine for a vibe that’s just the perfect fit if you’re coming to the Poconos for a wintertime ski trip. Whatever season of your visit, though, you’re sure to love the hot tub, fire pit and other outdoor amenities, all situated on a private lot in a cul-de-sac neighborhood.

Still, even with the neighborhood setting, you can expect lots of space of your own, including parking space for up to seven vehicles and a big lawn.

Still, even without the multiple floors of near-endless bedrooms, this cabin delivers big time on classic cabin decor. All the little touches are there. You’ll also enjoy extra amenities like a hot tub and game room.

When you’re ready to head out and explore the area, you’ll find nearby attractions just a short drive away. In less than half an hour, you can be to multiple waterparks, shopping, skiing and more.

You’ll find workout gear and a desk space in one area of the home, in case you need to check some emails or stick to your workout routine. The outdoor space includes a string light-lit, romantic area with a lush wall of greenery providing privacy. There’s also a fire pit with Adirondack chairs and corn hole.

You’ll have a big, sunny patio in the trees, on which you can really spread out and enjoy the scenery. A large fire pit in one corner provides some heat on those chilly, wintery nights.

A gas grill offers the perfect spot to cook up some family-style meals. One edge of the big lawn offers water views. You can even climb down to the water and enjoy a swim — along with your favorite pup, of course. Every outdoors lover will find something to enjoy here, during every season.
