Pets welcome
Pet friendly homestay near Kaas Plateau, Satara
Travelling with your dog? Tell us in advance. Pets are welcome on request, with the lawn, the village roads and a spot beside the bonfire.
Pet friendly stay at Shalgar Villa
Most hotels near Kaas either say no to pets or say yes and then make you feel unwelcome. We do neither. Dogs have run around this lawn since before it was a homestay. Pets are accepted on prior request only, so please tell us about yours at the time of booking and we will confirm.
Space to run
An open lawn and quiet village lanes with almost no traffic, ideal for early morning and after-dark walks.
Ground-floor rooms
Easy in and out for older dogs, with washable flooring and an outdoor tap for muddy monsoon paws.
House rules for pets
Pets are confirmed on prior request only. During the stay they stay off beds and the dining table, are leashed in common areas, and are never left alone in a room. Please carry their bedding, bowls, towel and waste bags. Any damage is charged at actual cost, which almost never comes up.
Walks and outings around Kaas
The road past the villa is quiet enough for a leash walk at sunrise. Kaas Plateau itself is a protected eco-sensitive zone with its own rules, so plan a lake-side or village walk instead of taking a dog onto the plateau.
If other guests are staying
When single rooms are let out, we place pet families away from guests who prefer distance. Booking the whole villa removes the question altogether and is what most pet parents choose.
