When Doris Day took co-ownership of Cypress Inn in 1985, one of her priorities was ensuring that four legged furry guests were as welcome and accommodated as their owners.   It was at this point, twenty five years ago, that Cypress Inn cemented its position as Carmel’s original “Pet Friendly” Inn.

At check-in, dogs are greeted by name and with a treat bowl that’s always full.  Dogs are welcome to join their owners in guest rooms and in the common areas, including parts of Terry’s Restaurant and Lounge, our beautiful European-style courtyard and our cozy living room.  Doggie menu items such as burgers and chopped chicken are available upon request.  Don’t forget to join us for “Yappy Hour” in the lounge from 4:30PM until 6PM to enjoy drink specials and a chance to mingle with locals and visitors alike. 

In the evening when we turn down your room, you’ll have chocolate on your pillow, and your four-legged will get a treat on the corner of his dog blanket.  Mutt mitts and a dog wash area are available and handy after a romp on Carmel’s “leash-free” beach.  Many dining establishments have pet sections and lists are available at the front desk.

In order to ensure the safety and comfort of all guests and pets, please note the following policies:

• Please register your pet(s) at the time of booking.
