Beyond Just “Pet-Allowed”—Truly Pet-First in California

At AvantStay, we understand that pets are part of the family. Our California collection is hand-selected based on specific ‘Barkitecture’ criteria — prioritizing safety, durability, and high-end design. Whether you are looking for a home near Arrowhead Pinnacles Trail (leash required) or a spacious layout for group living near Lake Arrowhead Village waterfront, we ensure that bringing your four-legged companion never means sacrificing luxury.

When you aren’t relaxing in your designer living room, take your dog for a stroll at Heart Rock Trail picnic area (natural carved heart waterfall, dog-friendly), or grab a drink on the patio at Lake Arrowhead Village patios (multiple boutique restaurants welcome leashed dogs). Travel with confidence knowing our guest experience team is available 24/7 to provide local pet care recommendations for your stay in California.

What Our Guests Are Saying

Sarah
Newport Beach, CA

We had an amazing stay at this pet-friendly beach house. The fenced-in yard was a huge bonus — our dogs had plenty of room to run and play safely.

Callie
Los Angeles, CA

This home is beautiful and was perfect for us and our 2 dogs! The backyard was amazing for us traveling with our dogs and just enjoying it in the mornings.

Karina
Newport Beach, CA

We also brought our dogs and had no issues at all. Steps from the beach, the balcony with the fire pit and jacuzzi were perfect. Would definitely stay again.
