Pets Allowed
It may not be commonly known that one of the main attractions for the San Ysidro Ranch as a lavish hideaway is its historical tradition in welcoming the family pet. For a fee, one's four-legged friends are welcome to enjoy the beauty and natural wonders of the lush gardens and 17 miles of hiking trails that the Ranch provides. As one enters their free-standing cottage (Fido and his four-legged friends are only allowed in the free-standing cottages), Fido will discover his San Ysidro Ranch bedding as well as his own custom amenity that includes food and water dishes with water, doggy treats and a Bow Wow Beanies toy ... While indulging in the quiet pleasures of an in-room spa treatment, one may offer their four-legged friend a San Ysidro Ranch in-room pet massage. Booked by the half hour, the treatment helps with blood circulation, aches and pains that Fido may endure after a long day of running and playing in the gardens.
