Henry’s Hideaway sets the tone from the start - a dog-themed retreat (with a cheerful wiener dog personality woven throughout) where you can sip coffee on the screened lanai while your dogs roam freely, explore new scents, or stretch out beside you.

About the host

Host profile image
Welcome to my Hideaway, my name is Henry and I am thrilled you’re here to visit. My mom and grandma have been visiting Florida for the past 30 years and have fallen in love with the warm sunshine and salty air. After keeping me in the Minnesota cold and snow all of these years, they’ve finally upgraded me to a place I can call home, Henry’s Hideaway. I love napping in the sun, chasing squirrels around the yard, and occasionally taking a dip in the pool (only on the super hot days!). This place is so amazing I wanted to share with all my other dog friends and their paw-rents. My mom and grandma are pretty special to me, so I wanted to introduce them as well. My grandma is a Registered Nurse with 30+ years of experience, a multifamily housing landlord, and enjoys spending time with her kids (and me!). My mom loves to take me on walks, is an avid Crossfitter, and loves to squeeze in a round of golf. We hope after a stay at Henry’s Hideaway you fall in love with Florida the same way we have.
