Every Hapey cabin welcomes your dog like family — no fees, no restrictions, no surprises.
Every Hapey cabin welcomes your dog like family — no fees, no restrictions, no surprises.
Your pup is part of the family, and we’ve never understood why so many cabins make you pay extra to prove it. At every single Hapey cabin, your dog checks in for free — no size limits, no breed lists, no fine print. Just a space to stretch their legs, a mountain trail nearby, and a hot tub view waiting for you both at the end of the day.
This is our Pet Paradise Promise, and it hasn’t changed since our very first cabin opened its doors.
The Four Promises
- Zero Pet Fees. Not $50. Not $75/night. Zero.
We don’t charge a cleaning surcharge, a “pet deposit,” or a nightly add-on for your dog. Our Clean-Cabin Guarantee already covers the extra care every stay gets — pets included. What you see at checkout is what you pay. - No Breed or Size Restrictions.
Bring your Great Dane or your Chihuahua. We don’t keep a banned-breed list and we don’t weigh your dog at the door. If they’re house-trained and good with new places, they’re welcome. - Fenced Yards & Safe Outdoor Space at Every Cabin.
Every Hapey cabin gives your dog outdoor space to stretch their legs, and most offer a fenced area or dog run for off-leash play. See the cabin-by-cabin breakdown below for the specifics at each property. - Local Pet Resources, Ready Before You Arrive.
We have a local vet guide and pet-friendly trail map available, and we work with trusted local partners for anyone who needs a sitter, dog-walking help, or pet supplies during their stay.
Pet Setup by Cabin
| Cabin | Pet Setup |
|---|---|

A Promise Based on Values
The Pet Paradise Promise doesn’t stand alone — it’s backed by the same guarantees that run through every Hapey stay:
- Clean-Cabin Guarantee — every cabin is inspected for pet hair, dander, and odor before you arrive, not just “cleaned.”
- No-Surprise Pricing — pet fees are one more thing that’s never hidden in your total.
- Hapey VIP Club — every stay counts toward VIP status, and VIP discounts apply to direct bookings year-round.
- Book Direct and Save — skip the third-party pet fees some OTAs still allow hosts to charge; booking direct keeps that money in your pocket, not a platform’s.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge a pet fee?
No. Every Hapey cabin includes your dog at no extra charge — no per-night fee, no flat pet deposit.
Are there breed or size restrictions?
No. We don’t restrict by breed or weight. If your dog is house-trained and comfortable in new environments, they’re welcome at any Hapey cabin.
Is every cabin’s yard fully fenced?
Most Hapey cabins have a fully fenced yard or dog run. Sunny View Cabin has fenced space in the front and back (not a full perimeter fence), plus access to Shagbark’s gated community and its enclosed dog park — a great option if your pup needs a fully enclosed space to run.
How many dogs can we bring?
We don’t restrict how many dogs can be guests with Hapey. However, reach out before booking if you’re traveling with more than two dogs so we can flag any cabin-specific notes.
What if we need a pet sitter or dog walker during our stay?
We’re happy to connect you with our trusted sitters we trust for Smokies visitors.
Does the Pet Paradise Promise apply if I book through Vrbo or Airbnb?
Yes — every Hapey cabin honors the same pet-friendly policy no matter where you book. Booking direct just means you also skip the extra service fees, and your stay still counts toward Hapey VIP Club status.
