When you have a furry family member, planning a vacation can be a little complicated. Do you leave your dog behind or take Fido on the road with you? Here at Hemlock Hills Resort Rentals, we wholeheartedly recommend bringing your pooch to the Smokies!

1. You’ll Save Money 

One of the main advantages of taking your dog on vacation is not having to make arrangements for your pup while you’re away.
