Amador Hotel in Pioneer (10 miles and our recommendation). Renovated during covid and further up Hwy 88 for those who want a reasonably-priced 4-star hotel with country/mountain experience. Plate88 restaurant is next door.- Best Western Amador Inn in Jackson (9 miles). Well-known dog-friendly chain and closest to many Jackson restaurants.
- Holiday Inn Express in Jackson (9 miles). Well-known hotel brand, though only allows service dogs.
- Quality Inn & Suites in Jackson (10 miles). Budget option near downtown Jackson. Previously called Jackson Lodge.
- Kiota Inn in Sutter Creek (12 miles). Higher-rated hotel close to beautiful Sutter Creek.
- Jackson Rancheria (7 miles). The RV Park is dog-friendly and the closest option to our Ranch. There's a shuttle from the RV Park to the casino for those looking for some gaming. The casino and hotel only allow service dogs.
