Dog Friendly Getaways on Whidbey Island
Dogs are some of our favorite guests at Chickadee & Pine. We know a getaway is even better when your four-legged companion comes along. Whether your pup loves exploring the garden, sniffing along a woodland path, or curling up beside you after a day at the beach, there’s room here for both of you to slow down and feel at home.
We’ve thought about the little things that make traveling with dogs easier: freshly laundered dog beds, bowls, towels, and a warm outdoor dog shower for rinsing sandy paws. Both our Pine Cone Cabin and Chickadee Cottage welcome dogs, so you can enjoy a peaceful Whidbey Island getaway without leaving your best friend behind.
A Few Little Extras for Your Dog
Both the Cottage and the Cabin include a few simple comforts to help your dog feel at home:
• a freshly laundered dog bed
• food and water bowls
• pet towels for muddy paws
• a jar of dog treats waiting on the counter
At the Cabin you’ll also find a big tub of tennis balls by the door, ready for games outside.
After a day at the beach, there is also an outdoor rinse area where sandy paws can be washed off before coming inside
Dog-Friendly Outings on Whidbey Island
Whidbey Island is a wonderful place to explore with your dog, whether you’re looking for a sandy beach, a woodland walk, or a longer island adventure.
A few of our favorite places include:
- Double Bluff Beach — A South Whidbey favorite with wide stretches of sand, beautiful water views, and designated off-leash areas.
- South Whidbey State Park — A lovely place for a leashed woodland walk among towering trees and ferns.
- Ebey’s Landing — Farther north, but worth the drive for its spectacular bluff trails and sweeping views of Puget Sound. Dogs should remain leashed.
Please check posted signs for current leash rules and trail access before heading out.
And after a day of sandy paws and island exploring, there’s a freshly laundered dog bed waiting back at Chickadee & Pine.

A Little Note About Wildlife
Because Chickadee & Pine is surrounded by nature, wildlife is part of life on Whidbey Island. Coyotes, owls, and eagles all live in the area.
For that reason, we recommend keeping a close eye on dogs when they are outdoors, especially smaller dogs, and not leaving them outside unattended.
It’s simply a good habit in rural areas and helps keep everyone safe.
