Your Perfect 'Paws And All'
Pet-Friendly Resort
A true family getaway isn’t complete without every member of the family—including your dog. At Lanier Islands Resort, we don’t just allow dogs—we welcome them like part of the pack. Because here, tails should wag as freely as smiles.
From peaceful mornings by the lake to sunset strolls under the trees, your pup is invited to experience the adventure right by your side. Whether you’re staying in the comfort of Legacy Lodge or relaxing in one of our cozy LakeHouses, your four-legged travel companion can be right there with you, soaking it all in.
Things you and your pup can do together:
• Sniff your way through scenic hiking trails—lakeside views, shady woods, and plenty of “must investigate” spots
• Hop aboard a resort cart ride and enjoy the breeze
• Sip your morning coffee on the patio at Lakeside Café while your pup people-watches
• Get cozy in your LakeHouse—curl up on the couch for a movie night after a full day of adventure
• Hang out on the deck, grill something delicious and take in the sights and sounds of nature
• Hit the open green spaces for zoomies, sniff breaks and happy dog energy
To help keep our spaces safe and enjoyable for everyone, we kindly ask that all dogs remain leashed in designated areas and that guests clean up after their pets. It’s a simple way we can all help keep the resort beautiful and welcoming.
We can’t wait to host you and your best friend for a lakeside escape full of fresh air, shared adventures, and unforgettable memories.
