Mid Coast region hotels, motels invite your pet to come on vacation

Maine > Mid Coast > Specialty Lodging > Pet and Dog Friendly

Maine’s innkeepers recognize the important role of the family dog or other family pets, and several pet friendly hotels are available to welcome dogs. Some dog friendly hotels in the Midcoast Maine region, encompassing the ME towns of Rockland, Camden, Brunswick, Boothbay, and Bath, prove their claim by furnishing dog beds, dog food, and information on convenient local walking trails.

Harborside inn offers pet-friendly rooms; local attractions also welcome your furry friend

You know who loves ocean breezes as much as you do? Your dog, that’s who.

There are plenty of places to explore in the area, including four preserves that are pet friendly, nearby dog parks, restaurants that let you eat outside with a dog and even some tourist attractions that welcome your pooch. There are pet-friendly nature cruises, whale-watch excursions and lighthouse tours, for example, and some kayak tours are pet friendly.

Your dog wants to see Maine, too! At the Fireside Inn & Suites Ocean’s Edge, they want your pet to feel welcome, which is why they have several pet-friendly rooms ready for you and your furry friend.
