From Mall Road
Perched on a hilltop just 10 minutes from Kasauli's Mall Road, The Opulence is a pine-forest property with three bookable villas - Pinewood (3BHK), Maple (3BR cottage), and Cedar (1BR cottage) - that can be combined into a full 7-bedroom retreat for larger groups. Pets stay for free here, and the no-number-limit policy means you can bring your whole pack without negotiating exceptions. It's a rare find in a hill station where most stays quietly turn dogs away at the gate.
✓ Confirmed by the property
The Opulence has confirmed that dogs and cats are welcome at no extra charge, with no cap on the number of pets per booking. Pet food is available on-site. Pets must be kept on a leash in common areas and are not permitted in bedrooms, on beds, in the restaurant, swimming pool, or kitchen.
What the property is actually like for dogs
The setting does most of the heavy lifting - lush pine forest, open grounds, and the kind of cool mountain air that has dogs pressing their noses out the window the moment you turn off the highway. The three villas are spread across the hilltop, giving you space to walk your dog without bumping into other guests at every turn. Outside food is allowed, in-house meals are available (at approximately ₹1,000 per person per meal), and pet food can be arranged on-site - so you're not scrambling to feed your dog in an unfamiliar town.
The leash rule and no-bedroom policy - what it means practically
The property is clear: pets must stay leashed whenever they're moving around the grounds. Bedrooms, the restaurant, swimming pool, and kitchen are off-limits for pets. This is worth internalising before you arrive - if your dog sleeps on the bed or you're used to free-roaming stays, this one will require some adjustment. That said, the no-restriction-on-numbers policy and the free pet charge make it one of the more genuinely welcoming large-group pet stays in the Kasauli belt. Book the full property if you want the most space and flexibility for your dogs.
Booking the property as a group
The three units - Pinewood, Maple, and Cedar - can be booked individually or combined for a private 7-bedroom group retreat. Check-in is at 2:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. Multiple check-in options are available including host greeting, caretaker assistance, building staff key handover, and smart door self-check-in. The property also allows private events and parties, which makes it a practical pick for a pet-friendly group getaway where the whole gang - human and canine - travels together.
