Don't leave your pets behind. We have brought together as many Minnesota pet friendly cabins as possible so you can include your furry friends!
Campfire Bay Resort
Many Minnesota cabin guests like to bring pets because it makes the getaway feel more like a true “family vacation,” reduces stress and guilt about leaving animals behind, and fits naturally with Minnesota’s outdoor, cabin-in-the-woods lifestyle. The state’s lakes, trails, and pet-friendly cabin options also make it easy for travelers to include their dogs in everyday vacation activities. Pets are seen as part of the family, so people want them included in special trips and memories, and bringing a pet along eases separation anxiety for both owners and animals, which helps guests actually relax once they arrive at the cabin. Being with a familiar pet adds a comforting sense of home in a new place, which can be especially reassuring for kids or first-time travelers.

Traveling with pets can also be cheaper than boarding or hiring a sitter for several days, especially on week-long Minnesota lake stays, and guests avoid the stress of coordinating drop-offs, pickups, and check-in times at kennels back home. A pet-friendly cabin offers more space—yard, deck, and living room—so caring for pets is easier than in a typical hotel setup. Minnesota’s lakes, forests, and quiet backroads are ideal for dog-friendly fun like hiking, swimming, paddling, and evening walks by the water, and many cabin resorts and private rentals now welcome dogs, with trails, shoreline, and outdoor seating that work well for pets. The “up north” cabin culture encourages unplugged time outdoors, and dogs often motivate guests to get outside more for walks and play, which supports the restorative feel people seek from a Minnesota getaway.
Pets help reduce stress and boost happiness, making a Minnesota cabin retreat feel more restorative and laid-back, while also encouraging more physical activity through walks on forest paths, fetch by the lake, and exploring new spots around the cabin. Watching pets explore new sights and smells adds an extra layer of joy and entertainment, especially for families with children. For marketing, it can help to emphasize that cabins make it easy to “bring the whole family, paws included” and avoid boarding stress or extra costs, while highlighting Minnesota-specific perks like lakeside walks, nearby trails, dog-friendly patios or parks, and roomy yards or shoreline at the rental, along with clear, welcoming pet policies.
