Pet-friendly Private Resort in Tagaytay: The Hidden View Mansion

INTRODUCTION

As a furmom who loves to travel with a furbaby, I always make sure that I stay in a place where pets are welcome without too many restrictions.  One of my favorite destinations near Manila is Tagaytay because there are so many accommodations here that are pet-friendly like The Hidden View Mansion in Alfonso, Cavite. It is one of the newest pet-friendly private resorts in Tagaytay that we have recently visited.

 

To be honest, I have been to many kinds of resorts and rented accommodations around the country so I can say my standards are quite high. I am not the best out there to give stellar reviews but I am honest enough if it is worth recommending or not. The Hidden View Mansion literally exceeded my expectations in many ways. See why below.

1. Two villas to choose from

The Hidden View Mansion has two villas called Mansion A and Mansion B. 

Mansion A 

Mansion A is where we spent the night. This is the one with an infinity pool with the view of the surrounding and the mountains. It is a house with basement having 4 rooms and a room for the driver.  The nearest to the main gate, Mansion A is spacious with the vibe of a typical upscale condo in the city.  

Mansion B

Mansion B for me has classic look but it is definitely spacious and with the view of towering pine trees, this is definitely a priceless tag! Mansion B is 5 minutes away from Mansion A. It is way bigger than Mansion A so it is ideal for a bigger group.  

We are a group of 7 in Mansion A which I believe can accommodate up to 10 or more. I was not able to check Mansion B in details but I believe it has 3 rooms as well.  

2. Spacious with nature vibe

Embracing the Outdoors 

One of my main criteria for a staycation is ample space with a natural ambiance. The Hidden View Mansion encompasses a vast area filled with fruit-bearing trees, vegetables, and various plants. During our visit, we were fortunate to find ripe fruits on the guyabano and chesa trees. 

Unique Flora  

I love the tall, towering pine trees that remind me of Baguio! Most of all, I was so happy to discover a new kind of flowering vine called trumpet vine with a scientific name of Thunbergia mysorensis. These are very beautiful flowers that bloom whole year round according to the lady staff I was chatting with. Actually, it has two kinds of flowers - this same kind of vine also bear  red-colored flowers that looks like sampaguita only that it has different color. How fantastic to see a plant specifically a vine to have two different kinds of flowers!

Instagrammable spots inside

I would say one of the most Instagrammable spot here in The Hidden View Mansion is the walkway leading to Mansion B because of these flowers from this vine. There is also a huge cage of birds of different colors just right in front of the swimming pool of Mansion B.  

3. Wellness and Meditation opportunities

Grounding and relaxation

For those who enjoy grounding—walking barefoot on grass—The Hidden View Mansion is an excellent destination. The property offers plenty of grassy areas to walk in, believed to provide cleansing and healing energy.

Perfect for retreats

The spacious layout is perfect for retreats, yoga sessions, and meditation. Each room features wellness-inspired artwork, including beautiful paintings I would love to have in my own space.

4. Connectivity and Entertainment

Strong Wi-fi Connection

As someone who works online, I appreciate places with reliable internet. The Hidden View Mansion is suitable for digital nomads or remote workers, offering strong Wi-Fi in both villas.

Digital Amenities

This mansion also features digital karaoke, eliminating the need for costly song fees typical of old karaoke systems. In addition, there's a digital fireplace in Mansion A that not only looks cozy but also releases warm air—perfect for Tagaytay's cooler climate.

6. Two Swimming Pools

Luxurious Pools

Mansion A includes a stunning infinity pool, while Mansion B features another lovely pool slightly farther away. Both pools have bubbling jets, adding a lively touch to the swimming experience.

7. Fully equipped with kitchen facilities

The Hidden View Mansion is equipped with nearly everything needed for cooking. However, be mindful that the nearest wet market or grocery store is quite a distance away. Fortunately, a small sari-sari store is located near the main gate for basic necessities.

8. Hundred percent pet-friendly

Truly pet-friendly

While many accommodations claim to be pet-friendly, they often have hidden restrictions. I can confidently say that The Hidden View Mansion is genuinely welcoming to pets of all sizes with no additional fees or restrictions on sleeping arrangements.

Several accommodations claiming to be pet-friendly, are only choosing small sizes, asking expensive pet fees and more. I remember one recently that I have inquired saying they are pet-friendly however, I was asked to bring a cage so that I should put my dog inside the cage when we go to their accommodation. My dog should be also in the cage 24/7 and he is not allowed to sleep inside our room. With this arrangement, I would rather choose to leave behind my dog at home or just not go to this so-called pet-friendly accommodation.

Responsible Pet Ownership

As a responsible pet owner, I encourage guests to ensure their pets are well-behaved, fully vaccinated, and potty-trained. It’s important to respect the property and clean up after your pets to maintain the mansion's welcoming atmosphere.
