A Dog-Friendly Stay in Waynesville, NC

By Mojo Manor · Updated September 6, 2026

The fenced backyard at Mojo Manor

A good trip with your dog starts with two things: a house that suits your routine, and outings where dogs are actually welcome. Mojo Manor brings a private fenced backyard and the convenience of a home one mile from downtown Waynesville.

Room for the whole crew

The house sleeps up to ten guests in four upstairs bedrooms, with an additional futon in the downstairs game room. Two living areas give everyone room to settle in, while the fenced backyard makes it easy to spend time outside together. Supervise dogs in the yard and check the gates before letting them out.

Mojo Manor welcomes up to two dogs. The fee is $100 per dog, per stay. Include your dogs when booking so the quote reflects your whole party. Bowls, a dog bed and waste bags are provided; bring your dog's usual food, medications and any crate or bedding they rely on. Read the house pet policy before reserving.

Know the Smokies' pet rules

Great Smoky Mountains National Park allows leashed dogs in campgrounds, picnic areas and along roads. Only two park trails permit pets: the Gatlinburg Trail and the Oconaluftee River Trail. Keep the leash six feet or shorter. The park does not generally allow dogs on other hiking trails or in the backcountry. See the National Park Service pet guidance when planning your route.

For a walk on the North Carolina side, consider the Oconaluftee River Trail. It follows the river from the visitor center on a mostly level gravel route, approximately three miles round trip. Check the park's parking-tag requirements before you go. Choose a distance that works for your dog and turn back whenever needed.

Build a flexible day

Plan one outing, then leave room for a quiet afternoon at the house. If your group wants a trail that prohibits dogs, arrange a suitable care plan first. Don't assume a restaurant patio accepts pets: call the individual business to confirm its current policy and available seating.

Pack a leash, water, a travel bowl, waste bags and a towel for wet paws. Mountain weather can differ from the weather in town. Check the park's current conditions on the day of your visit, and keep dogs away from wildlife.

Before you book

View the backyard photos, review the sleeping arrangements with your group, and enter your dates and dogs to see the full booking total. The pet fee is charged per stay, not per night; other accommodation charges and applicable taxes appear in your quote. There is no need to guess what another booking platform might charge.
