Stairway To Heaven sits on the Mussoorie Highway near Shiv Mandir in Rajpur, Dehradun — a privately bookable homestay that comes with valley views, a fenced garden, and one of the most genuinely dog-forward policies we've come across in Uttarakhand. The property offers multiple villa configurations from 2BHK to 5BHK, making it equally workable for a couple with one dog or a group travelling with a whole pack.
🐾 When we visited with Apple, Captain, and Kimchi
We visited Stairway To Heaven in June with all three dogs — Apple, Captain, and Kimchi. The property is confirmed pet-friendly and the team is welcoming to dogs of all breeds and sizes. Full visit notes will be updated here soon.
What the pet policy actually means in practice
Stairway To Heaven charges ₹500 per pet per day — that's the only pet-specific cost, and it applies regardless of breed or size. There's no cap on the number of pets you can bring to the villa, and dogs are allowed to sleep on the beds. The property also offers a dedicated pet food menu, which is rare enough that it's worth calling out — you won't need to pack every meal. The fenced private garden means your dog can move around outdoors without being on-leash the entire time, which makes a real difference over a multi-day stay.
The property and what's around
The villas — named Equinox, Solstice, and the 3BHK/4BHK/5BHK configurations — all face the valley and include private balconies, a gazebo garden, heating, Smart TV, Wi-Fi, and tea/coffee stations. The property runs on solar panels and practices rainwater harvesting, which is worth knowing if sustainable travel matters to you. Guests have access to a bonfire area, and the property can arrange a live musician or early morning trek on request. That combination of valley air and a bonfire at night is exactly the kind of thing that works well when you're travelling with dogs who need to wind down after a day of new smells and trails.
Logistics worth knowing before you book
Check-in is at 2:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. Free parking is available under CCTV surveillance. The property is bookable directly through their website at stairwaytoheavenhomestay.com. If you're bringing a larger group, the 5BHK accommodates up to 15 guests — extra bedding above the base occupancy is charged at ₹2,500 per person per day. For a group trip where everyone brings their dog, the no-breed, no-number-limit policy makes this one of the more flexible options in the Dehradun area.
