I stayed at the Garage Mahal for 3 weeks in April 2020, with my dog. The stairs were easy enough for a 50lb Border Collie Mix to navigate, but for a larger dog or less confident/athletic dog, I could see it being a challenge. I really enjoyed being able to walk to Karkeek park to exercise the dog. James really made us feel welcome and it is great to have host that allows dogs! Sleeping in the loft is a lovely, treehouse like experience. There are even peak-a-boo views to the Olympic Mountains.
