Dog Friendly Hotel Stays

  • A young girl relaxes on the carpet of a hotel suite while playing with a fluffy white dog near the fireplace.
  • A woman walks her dog along the outdoor pathway in front of the resort building.

  • A family with two children and a dog walks along a sunny resort pathway.

We know that your dog is part of your family and welcome him or her to their home away from home at our Okanagan dog-friendly Resort.

Imagine laughter by the lake, tails wagging, and sandy paws marking the joy of a dog-friendly stay. It's not just a vacation; it's a canvas of memories painted in hues of joy and companionship.

Your dog, with ears that flap in the wind and eyes that sparkle, discovers pure bliss bounding through waves. Shared glances during evening strolls create a tapestry of cherished recollections. At Summerland, each sunrise promises new adventures, each sunset whispers tales of shared laughter, making it more than just a stay—it's the art of creating unforgettable memories with your furry companion. Pack those wagging tails, for at Summerland, the adventure begins!
