Bayley Clark Published: December 2, 2020

According to a survey done by the American Pet Products Association, about 68% of American households (roughly 85 million families), own a pet. And when those 85 million families want to hit the road, and do some traveling, they basically have two options: (1) take their pet with them, or (2) find a sitter or boarding facility for them.

Fortunately, for folks traveling to Chattanooga, Tennessee, you can bring your fur babies along! One of Tennessee’s largest cities, Chattanooga, offers a selection of accommodations that cater to pet owners who want to experience the city without leaving their four-legged family member at home.

With its natural setting and vast landscape, cabins are one of the more preferred types of accommodation in this Tennessee city. And to make things even easier, we’ve listed some pet-friendly cabins in Chattanooga that are worth checking out.
