    We found a wonderful place in North Carolina last spring (2006), about 10 miles south of Asheville. "Barkwells" is six fenced acres with a pond, and each cabin (had 3 when we were there, now have a total of 5) has a small fenced yard, as well as dog doors and hot tubs for the humans. If all the dogs get along, they can all be out in the big area while you are home, but if you leave the dogs home alone, they have their private yard accessable by their dog door. Really a wonderful place, we stayed on the property for a couple of days and just rested and walked around, but the Blue Ridge Parkway is only 10 miles away, and the scenery is gorgeous. Not cheap, but a real treat for us after not taking a vacation for over 10 years, as we didn't want to leave our babies behind, and not many places were "dog friendly".

    We also found a nice cabin with a fenced yard in north Georgia last fall, about half the price of Barkwells, at "Above the Rest" Cabin Rental.

    Now I want to travel more with my 3, am looking for great places to stay, preferably affordable!

    Anyone else found any great places to stay?

    Thanks for the info!! We went to the beach in Pt. Pleasant NJ this summer for 2 weeks. Although we were at a rented beach house there were lots of places nearby that allowed dogs AND they had a man made doggy beach Fishermans Cove Matawan, NJ about 10 min away which was fun for the furries…and they also had a real beach for dogs that you can purchase a pass to in Mantolooking Beach, NJ.

    Wow, Pt Pleasant, NJ… you are bringing back memories.... used to vacation there in the summers with my family growing up and years and years... stayed like two months.... one of our favorite places to eat was the "Lobster Shanty" in Pt. Pleasant... is it still there? I was born and raised in Pa (Bucks Country)....

    @planetsaver said in Basenji for me or not ?: Will be a problem to leave him alone, let's say 10 days / month an average of 9 hours a day. Also I do not want to have to much trouble with the neighbours, but I understand he can make some noise sometimes, maybe he can be trained to stay alone and not to bark that much. Why would you even think about training a hunting hound to stay home alone ? I would never let my Basenjis alone for more than 4 hours, and even that is very rare. 3 hours is absolute maximum. Like @tanza, I have sold puppies into apartment environments as long as all other boxes ticked positive. Someone there all the time, proper attention to training, not just leaving the dog alone, especially not as a puppy. btw, he won't bark at all. As you would know if you had really researched the breed. He will cry and scream but not bark ! No. At least you are asking questions but I really think you should find another breed.

    Check out Spring Willow Kennels! That's where we got our Basenji, Remus, from Laurie and she was great. She's not far from Cleveland!

    My Basenji Billy is quite undershot; he's a purebred, his bottom jaw just didn't stop growing when it was supposed to. That's okay, I'm a bit of a sucker for a dog with an underbite anyway.:) He was my first rescue Basenji.

    @MaxBooBooBear: It sounds like she has a case of separation anxiety–not just grieving. I think there are several threads here on handling separation anxiety--which is a pretty difficult situation. I went through the same thing when I had to have Max's lifetime companion put to sleep. I got help from a veterinary behavioral specialist. I agree. She should be through the grieving process by now (5 months later), and it may have developed into SA. Sad to say, it's generally not easy to fix, but it can be done with a lot of time, patience and love. You might want to Google it and see if the symptoms fit her behavior patterns and how one can start on the road to alleviating it. Poor baby. Good luck.
