Accommodation Units
Granny's Den Resort sits at the foothills of the Saklana Range on the outskirts of Dehradun, with a river running along one side and the Duggadu Waterfall catchment on the other. Dogs and cats are welcome at no extra charge, and the property's sprawling lawns, open grounds, and over 1,000 planted trees give travelling pets a genuinely generous amount of space to decompress. It's the kind of place that doesn't feel like it's tolerating your dog — it feels like it was always meant to have one running around.
✓ Verified by the Pet Friendly Places team
Granny's Den Resort has been confirmed as pet-friendly with no additional charges for pets. Dogs and cats are both welcome. Contact the property directly before booking to confirm room-specific pet policies and current availability.
The Property and Grounds
Granny's Den is built around a commitment to keeping the natural landscape intact — the owner planted over 1,000 trees across the property and maintained the original contour of the hillside. What that means practically for pet parents is a lot of green, room to wander without feeling penned in. The resort offers two villas and six artistically designed huts, each with a distinct theme rooted in Garhwali culture. Rooms include air conditioning, refrigerators, tea kettles, and 24-hour room service. River-facing rooms let you wake up to the sound of flowing water — something dogs tend to find equally compelling.
What Dogs Will Actually Enjoy Here
The resort's big front lawn is the obvious draw — wide open, grassy, and well away from traffic. Beyond that, the property features a barbecue area, multiple bonfire spots, a yoga hall, and an open-air movie screening space, all of which offer the kind of unhurried evening energy that dogs thrive in. The resort also runs guided treks to the Duggadu Waterfall and birdwatching walks through the property — both activities that work well with dogs who are trail-comfortable. There's a flower-themed outdoor pool and a lazy river on site; keep dogs leashed near water features as pool access for pets has not been confirmed.
Facilities and Practical Notes
The resort has a restaurant serving locally sourced meals, a bar, breakfast buffet (included), and 24-hour room service — useful when you'd rather not leave your dog alone in a new room. Free parking and a 24-hour front desk add to the ease of arrival. The property also lists a games room, playground, hiking trails, and fishing ponds among its activities. Check-in is at 2:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. Pet charges are listed as free, but always confirm directly with the property before booking, as policies can change seasonally.
⚠️ Safety Note
The property sits between a river and a waterfall, with natural terrain throughout the grounds. Keep dogs leashed near the river edge and water features, especially during and after monsoon when water levels rise unpredictably. The guided Duggadu Waterfall trek involves natural hillside terrain — assess your dog's fitness before joining.
Getting There
Granny's Den Resort is located in Village Lavarkha, Patti, near Das College Tehsil, Saklana Range, Kheri Mansingh, Uttarakhand 249145. The property is on the outskirts of Dehradun. It is best reached by road; the resort lists airport shuttle and private car service at extra charge. Use Google Maps CID or call 072538 03803 for precise directions, as the Saklana Range address can be tricky to navigate on generic map apps.
