IF YOU LIVE WITH A PUP, and you live to travel, chances are very high that you have, at some point, typed out the words "dog friendly hotel" or "dog friendly destination" in a search engine. And while oodles of California properties do throw open the front door to Fidos, every now and then a spot'll go above, beyond, and to the Lassie-loving limit for your own Spot. One such place is Nick's Cove Restaurant, Oyster Bar & Cottages, which sits snug against Tomales Bay, in Marshall. This would seem a natural draw for you and your water-obsessed dog (if, indeed, you and your pup like to hang out along shorelines), but here's what sweetens this trip: Nick's Cove is marking Pet Appreciation Month with a Pampered Pooch Add-On Package, which may "be added to any overnight stay in one of the property's luxurious pet-friendly cottages this April." There's still time to give a woof over this getaway, which includes...
"DIRTY PAWS TOWELS"... in your room, which'll help with that whole enjoying-the-shoreline thing that you and your dog love so well. And if you and your lil' guy also like to dress the same, look for matching human-hound bandannas to wear, which also come courtesy of the package. A bowl for H2O (the drinkable kind, not the playable kind), a food bowl, housemade biscuits, and more are on the dogly docket. Of course, there are some human-directed niceties, too, including a half-bottle of Nick's Cove cabernet as well as BBQ oysters. Going north with your constant companion in the next few weeks? This could be your oyster-sweet, bandanna-matching overnight, fer sure. Details and dog love may be found by contacting the cottage-tastic property.
