Dogs are invited to lounge alongside their owners at Mustangs & Burros, the resort’s signature restaurant, which opens daily at 4:00pm. The dog menu is prepared by the executive chef and runs from scrambled eggs and bacon in the morning to grilled chicken or steak tartare at dinner, with an assortment of organic treats in between. There is also a pet package built around locally made grain-free Mutt Munchers peanut-butter treats from Muttropolis and a dog bed. In-room dining serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily if you would rather eat on your patio.

The resort does not run its own dog walking or pet sitting service, but the concierge keeps a list of local dog walkers, pet sitters and boarding options and will make the booking for you. Email [email protected], ideally before you arrive, since the good ones fill up. For shorter stretches, the 10 acres of gardens and the grassy retreats around the guest rooms give a dog somewhere to go, and Mustangs & Burros welcomes dogs alongside their owners, so dinner need not mean leaving the dog behind.
