Pets aren't just allowed here — they're made to feel welcome. Open gardens and common areas, plenty of ground to cover alongside your four-legged companion, at no extra cost.
No extra costTravel with your pet to a refuge in southern Chile, where everyone lives in harmony with nature. Stay in any of our cabins or Lofts and your pet will get to enjoy a natural, open, hazard-free setting, surrounded by forest and countryside at the edge of Patagonia.
We welcome domestic pets — dogs, cats and other common companion animals — always under their owners' responsible care. We ask for respectful coexistence with the surroundings and with other guests.
This is what a pet-friendly day at the lodge looks like.
Beyond everything the lodge offers, Frutillar has its own pet-friendly things to do.
Stroll along the Frutillar Bajo waterfront and out to the pier. A calm walk, with views of Llanquihue Lake and the volcanoes — ideal for walking on a leash.
Many cafés in Frutillar have terraces that typically welcome pets.

Walk the waterfront, the gardens and the green spaces of Frutillar — or sail on the Bandurria catamaran, with whom Ave Lodge has a partnership.
Always bring them along for walks on the waterfront and green areas.
With more visitors around, try to keep your pet close on busy walks.
The German Colonial Museum and Teatro del Lago generally don't allow pets, except for service dogs.
Not every natural area in the region is pet-friendly — check ahead of each outing, especially for national parks, where entry is often restricted.
Before heading out, check which activities and excursions are genuinely pet friendly — that way your pet enjoys the trip as much as you do, with no surprises.
Our own trails, wide-open green areas and a safe natural setting, made for walking alongside your four-legged companion too.
No extra cost, no extra paperwork — just let us know when you book.
