Cozy Dog-Friendly Cottage Rental in Big Santa Anita Canyon, California

This dog-friendly cottage rental is in Big Santa Anita Canyon, California, and can accommodate up to two guests. There is a single bedroom featuring a double bed and two chairs. Linens are provided.

Guests who choose this cottage will have access to shared bathroom facilities, where they will find sinks, toilets, and showers, so several people from the same group will be able to use them at the same time. Towels and toiletries are not provided.

The main lodge provides glampers with a lounging space that features a fireplace, chairs, a piano, percussion instruments, a table with a checkers/chess board painted on, a selection of cards and board games, and even a small library.

Adjacent to the lounging area, glampers will find long dining tables with benches that provide enough seating for the camp at full capacity and there is a pass-through window for serving from the kitchen. A prominent feature of this room is the ping-pong table.

The fully/equipped kitchen comes with a large, industrial Wolf range with two ovens, six burners, and a griddle. Three refrigerators with freezers are also available, as well as all the utensils glampers might need.

Outside, there is patio furniture, a big swing, two standard 22-inch kettle-type barbecue grill, a small zip-line, badminton, volleyball, shuffleboard, ping/pong, and horseshoe facilities, a new archery course, and a chapel.

Glampers might want to consider using the Adams’ Pack Station pack train to complete their trip with donkeys carrying their food and/or luggage, exactly how they did it back in 1893, for a mere $1 per pound of luggage. The type of packing they do is called “dunnage,” which means freight only, no passengers.

Guest must label all bags and boxes with their name and cabin and pay special attention to the packaging of food items, which must be at the pack station by 7:30 a.m. on Friday mornings or dropped off earlier in the week.

The camp may provide meals if specified as part of an organized event. Guests must assist in the dining room maintenance and routine under the direction of the host or manager for this service to be provided.

These accommodations are dog-friendly; however, glampers can only bring dogs that get along well with others.

Glampers must keep in mind that there is no cell reception, and electricity is limited to lighting from dusk until 10 p.m. only, so bringing a flashlight is important.

Smoking is allowed exclusively in front of the main lodge, and hunting, fireworks, firearms, ammunition, and explosives are prohibited.

The camp is only open Friday night to Sunday noon.
