Pet friendly (no breed restrictions) in the mountains

So, I was conversing with some friends the other evening and one of them had just come back from the east coast and she had been confronted with a pet-friendly lodging which would not allow her to stay there because her dog is part rottweiler. Arrrghhhhh!!!!! This happens to be more common than you could realize. These places are pet friendly if you happen to have a small breed dog or a dog which is not on the banned list: Rottis, pits, shepherds, huskies and there are several others.
This lead me to think about what you would do with your dog if you wanted to go up in the mountains and hike, or fish, or just commune with nature and I called my cousin in north Georgia. He just began a business up there of building and renting cabins, in the mountains, for vacationers.
"So Chuck," I said, "are you pet friendly?" He laughed and said many of the cabins allowed dogs as long as they were not chihuahuas or poodles. So I laughed and asked him if he really had any restrictions on dogs. He said no!
As long as your dog is well behaved, bring them on. (He happens to own a pit bull who he adores.)
He is in the process of running a zip line down the mountain which could be fun for all you daredevils, an eco-tour through the trees to bird and critter watch and another line which will run to the waterfall for swimming. (None of these are complete yet, but the first zip line should be finished mid June).
So if you want to get away to the mountains with your dog, check out his website here. If you call him, tell him his cousin said hello.
