Western wonders: 10 best small towns in the West "The West is home to some of the most charming and scenic small towns in the country, hosting amazing art communities, tons of outdoor adventure opportunities, and top-notch dining options. These 10 small towns — each with a population of fewer than 25,000 — have been selected by an expert panel and voted by readers as the best in the region for their diverse offerings. No. 10: Ashland, Oregon Located in southern Oregon, Ashland attracts thespians and theater lovers from all over with their incomparable Oregon Shakespeare Festival, ongoing since 1935. But if that’s not your thing, North Mountain Park and other nearby green spaces offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy a peaceful time outdoors. Top-notch dining, shopping, and crafts fairs and markets are also a draw. No. 9: Durango, Colorado Deep in southwestern Colorado is the mountain town of Durango, a place so gorgeous it's been used as the backdrop for countless films including "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "City Slickers," and "National Lampoon's Vacation." Speaking of its natural beauty, you can enjoy the great outdoors in all sorts of ways here, from rafting down the Animas River to skiing and snowboarding at any of the nearby ski resorts. Visitors can also explore over a dozen historic sites and even Mesa Verde National Park. No. 8: Williams, Arizona Williams is a place for grand adventure and grand escapes, especially given how close it is to the one and only Grand Canyon (which can be accessed via the Grand Canyon Railway, built in 1901). But there's plenty of Americana charm to be found here, too, thanks to the town's connections to the historic Route 66. You'll see plenty of neon signs beckoning visitors to stop in for diner food, milkshakes, and kitschy souvenirs. No. 7: Bainbridge Island, Washington A short ferry ride west of Seattle is Bainbridge Island — a harmonious respite from the nearby city life. Try a yoga class at Dayaalu Yoga and Wellness Center or spend some quiet time inside one of the local museums, like the Bainbridge Island Historical Museum, Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, or KiDiMu (if you’ve got young ones along). The Bloedel Reserve is a major attraction for visitors of all ages, where you can explore 140 acres of meadows, forests, and gardens."

We certified The Ivey's Hotel and they are great example 'how not to do dog friendly'. They barely scraped a C rank, scoring just 11 points out of 52. This is because they price gouge dog owners with unnecessarily steep fees while providing no services, amenities, or facilities for dogs in return, or even allowing them access to the wider hotel, and to make things worse they have a small weight limit meaning only very small dogs are welcome. We use hotels like this as an example of how not all dog friendly hotels are created equally, and how the words 'dog friendly' mean nothing unless they have been properly certified and ranked by an independent third party. A textbook example of a hotel that can be described as dog tolerant at best. You folks need to do better than this Kyle DeHont. https://lnkd.in/dt5i4qQi

Ever thought of combining the allure of the wilderness with the opulence of fine hospitality? That's exactly what we're doing - pioneering a transformative experience known as 'Glamping.' Let's dissect this exciting innovation: ✔️ “Glamping” - the ingenious blend of glamorous and camping, offers the thrill of an adventure-filled camping along with the pinnacle of elite hospitality services. ✔️ It's embracing the extraordinary, breaking from the monotonous, and to quote Thoreau, finding that 'wildness is a necessity.' ✔️ From cuisine prepared by trained chefs to high-end bedding nestled within breathtaking landscapes, it's all about breaking barriers and redefining experiences. Funny how we, as a society, went from being intrepid nomads to settlers, and now we are seeking that wilderness yet again. But this time, we want to enjoy it with a touch of luxury! Surprised? Intrigued? Inspired, perhaps? Managing such a venture requires an exceptional blend of skill sets. Think wilderness survival, leadership, customer service, creativity, and even food and beverage management, all rolled into one. The hospitality industry is entering an era of untamed innovation, charged with the thrill of the wild, yet retaining the elegance of its roots. Pull out your camping boots and put on your five-star service smiles, because Glamping is here to redefine the landscape! #Glamping #HospitalityManagement #Innovation #BreakingBoundaries
