Nestled in the middle-of-nowhere, Cottonwood Idaho, lies a charming bed and breakfast that is truly one-of-a-kind. The Giant Beagle Bed & Breakfast is a unique destination that has captivated visitors from all over the world with its quirkiness and charm. But how did this giant beagle come to be? To unravel the history of this remarkable bed and breakfast, we must journey back to the early 2000s. It was during this time that a local couple,Dennis Sullivan and Francis Conklin, had an idea that would ultimately turn into a labor of love. After deciding to build a beagle-shaped building on their property, they spent countless hours constructing the unique structure. From the giant dog’s floppy ears to his wagging tail, every detail was crafted with care and precision.

Today, the Giant Beagle Bed & Breakfast stands as a testament to the power of imagination and creativity. The couple creates folk-art style wooden replicas of dogs and has made over 60 different breeds. They also rent out their tourist attraction, which is a massive towering structure.

Dog Bark Park is also a roadside attraction, even if you are not looking to spend the night. Visitors can visit the dog-inspired gift shop and artists’ studio. Owners Frances & Dennis are always ready to welcome you with a huge smile and great conversation. Dennis and Francis are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. The dog carvings at the gift shop are priced very reasonably for all the heart and soul they put into each masterpiece. We took home a Beagle carving as a souvenir and love seeing it every day as it sits on display. The grounds surrounding Sweet Willy are also filled with amazing carvings.

Bring Your Furry Companion

When Darcy and I were choosing a breed of dog to bring home, we stumbled upon a litter of Beagle puppies and fell in love. Bailey was born on my birthday, making me feel like we were meant to be best friends.When we went to see the puppies, Bailey approached me, licked me, sat on my lap, and fell asleep. I instantly fell in love with her and knew she had chosen me. That sealed my decision.

We were excited to stay with our Beagle in a giant Beagle-shaped room. The room was impressively clean, despite allowing pets. Separate linens and bedding are provided for families with pets, to prevent any allergy issues for guests and ensure the best possible experience for everyone.

Reserve Well In Advance
