Pros: Very dog friendly. Owners really seemed to want clients to enjoy their time at the Lodge. Located in walking distance to beach and restaurants. Cons: One bedroom very small. Air conditioner in bedroom, so rest of unit stayed very steamy. No daily maid service. Units on one side of the complex are in sun and so hot you could... more

This is a shame. These were very nice people who needed a larger unit and we did not have anything availble for them. They just weren't happy in this smaller unit. My guess is that it just got too much and they decided to leave. This is a one bedroom unit with a kitchen. However, while it does have eating...

My wife and I had an impulse to just run down the Port A for a few days, just to get away. It was sort of a last-minute trip, and we wanted to go low-budget, nothing fancy. Just a quick trip: "hey, honey, let's run down to Port A for the weekend!" I'd seen the Laughing Horse many times (I've... more

I'm not sure these folks are referring to the time they actually may have stayed with us. It was about two years between the time they stayed until the review, and they may have mixed us with some different places. We have had color tv's with quality cable for at least the past 4 years for sure and I think...

This is a quaint cabana style hotel about two blocks from the beach in Port A. It seemed a bit pricey, but perhaps that is normal for the location. In any event, it was clean and the owners were very friendly. The bed was really comfortable. The wireless internet was great. The location is convenient, and the decor very cute.... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Laughing Horse, they were the most accomodating and friendly people around. When we got there, the cabins were a little warm and they came down and checked them and also brought a couple of box fans to help cool the place down faster. Other than that the place was exactly as we thought... more

My two dachshunds and I absolutely LOVE A Laughing Horse Lodge. When I visit, I feel like a welcome guest staying in the home of good friends. The management is absolutely wonderful, completely welcoming, caring, responsive, fun, and ...did I mention they are dog lovers? The property has a wonderful feel, fun and festive, and very safe. It is only... more

I thought long and hard about writing a negative review about this place because so many people seem to love it and I sincerely liked the managers of the place when I met them. If you are looking for a funky place with little or no extras- this is it. My single room had concrete floors, sheet metal walls, and... more

No one in management likes to hear about unhappy customers. And, I could sense this customer's hesitation in the report. But in this case, I think we deserved just a bit better. Our standard rate in February, '06 for a single room was $39, not $75. We do have corregated metal walls in some units. Most of our customers find...

We came down for the weekend and were amazed at how friendly and wonderful the innkeepers were (esp. Sandy). The decorations inside the units are fun, funky and brings a smile to your face. AND these are very reasonably priced. You can't go wrong here. LOVED IT! more

We used to stay at the Rock Cottages next door to the "Laughing Horse." We stayed at the Rock because they were about 100 bucks cheaper for a week...and 100 feet closer to the beach. We were wrong. A Laughing Horse Lodge has bigger rooms/homes, fantastic owners, and kitschy fun. They also love dogs...like I love my dog. After my... more

The snow and cold of Colorado made us long for the surf, sand, and sun. We are first timers to the island, and lucky for our family we found the ALHL. We searched the internet for a place to stay with our pets, which are an important part of the family. We landed at ALHL website, due to the whimsical... more

We spend a lot of time on the island and this was our first experience w/Laughing Horse. This trip was one of the most enjoyable!!! The staff was so pleasant and friendly...always greeted us w/very kind words. They made us feel right at home! The cottage was so clean and comfortable. They truly cater to dog owners and their pooches!!!... more
