We stayed three nights at Town House Lodge with our mini golden doodle Kiki. I booked the room as it was one of the few places that didn’t charge extra to have a dog stay. You give them a deposit and they refund it after your stay if there’s no damage. They have poop bag stations in various places, and there’s a nice yard area across the driveway that you could probably use when there’s not so much snow. There’s no dog beds or dog dishes in the rooms, which I wasn’t expecting anyway. This is the first time we’ve traveled with our dog so I’m not really sure what other places might provide. I also booked because many reviews talked about how clean the place was, and they were right. I didn’t see a single speck of dirt anywhere! The room and the communal kitchen we used were absolutely spotless. The communal kitchen is beautiful, and has everything you could possibly need to cook anything. There’s even a crockpot! We ate our takeout food in there our third night, and it was lovely. There’s a nice table and benches as well as a counter area to sit at. There’s also a TV with couch and chairs to relax on. It’s in a good location as it’s in town but not in the really congested center area of town. We found some nice hiking trails that were close by. This place has been family-owned since 1956, and they really know what they’re doing. They even cleaned the snow off our car for us! I will definitely be back and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a stay here to anyone.

We visited Village Marina after reading reviews on the BringFido app. So glad we visited! This was our first time visiting a restaurant with our dog, Kiki. The first thing our server, Chris, did was bring a big bowl of ice water for Kiki, which she immediately drank from. Then Chris gave her a big dog biscuit! Kiki was sold on the place, and so was I. There were a couple other dogs there, but we were quite spread out due to the large outdoor area they have. So many things on the menu sounded good, but I finally went with the Cornell chicken sandwich, partly because the menu pointed out that their bread comes from a local bakery, and I love bread! What a great choice! The roll was fabulous, as was the chicken, juicy and flavorful. Service was great, and our server Chris could not have been nicer. She’s obviously a dog lover, and tried to make friends with Kiki, but it seemed that Kiki was put off by her mask. Speaking of pandemic safety, everything was set up to be socially distanced, everyone was wearing masks, and there was hand sanitizer in numerous locations. It felt very safe. It was a beautiful day to be outside enjoying the weather, and it was nice to have our furry one with us instead of home in her crate.
