Montana has everything a family needs for a fun, relaxing and educational vacation. These days, the family dog is not just a pet, but part of the family. Aside from having to worry about a pet sitter or boarding kennel, leaving the dog at home while enjoying a vacation doesn't seem fair. And Montana's wide-open spaces, crystal-clear rivers and stunning wilderness are perfect playgrounds for furry friends.
To ensure the family dog has an enjoyable experience while away from home, choose a hotel that will suit his needs as well as those of the rest of the family.
Kelly Inn - West Yellowstone
A trip to Montana would not be complete without taking in the kaleidoscopic hot springs, bubbling mud pools and wildlife of Yellowstone National Park.* The Kelly Inn in West Yellowstone offers 78 comfortable and clean rooms to choose from with no pet fee for up to two dogs of any size.
The hotel's rustic log and wood exterior and lobby fireplace make it feel more like a cozy cabin in the Montana backcountry. Rooms have two King beds or two Queen beds to choose from. Amenities include no smoking rooms, coffee maker, hairdryer, free local telephone calls, swimming pool, modem lines in the room, cable television and free breakfast.
A night's stay in the Kelly Inn ranges from $80 to $200, depending on the room and season. Check the hotel's website for specials and packages.
