Maine pet and dog friendly lodgings, hotels & inns at beaches, lakes and cities

Maine > State > Specialty Lodging > Pet and Dog Friendly

Maine's hotels, motels, inns, and resorts recognize the important role of a family dog, and several offer pet friendly hospitality, even including convenient maps of local dog walking trails. Call ahead to these ME hotels, because some lodgings request a refundable cleaning deposit and place limits on the size of visiting pets.

We know that pets are family, too

Even though your mate is not the only loved one in your household, many B&Bs and inns ignore that situation for their guests. Not us. Your four-legged friends are quite welcome here in our several pet friendly rooms -- though not in the main house -- all with direct access to the outdoors. In-house dog sitters are available (please make the arrangement before you arrive) as well as personalized dog treats, bowls and even doggie towels and sheets. (Don’t worry – we’ll supply as many pickup bags as you need, in case you forgot yours.) We do ask that your pets accompany you whenever you leave the property. Enjoy your strolls around beautiful Kennebunkport with Bowser, but be advised that there is a leash law.

Fireside Inn Ocean's Edge

159 Searsport Avenue Belfast, ME, 04915 Phone: 207-338-2090

Pets are more than welcome at this very friendly seaside inn

When people ask the folks at Fireside Inn & Suites Ocean’s Edge if pets are welcome, they answer this way: They’ve never had a pet that smoked in bed, stole towels or played the TV too loud, so, it’s more a question of whether your pet can vouch for you. The inn prides itself on providing comfortable accommodations for people and their furry friends. A small nightly fee, a promise to not leave Fido alone in the room and to keep whatever your pet (goldfish excepted) is on a leash when not in the room are all that’s required. Pet-friendly rooms have patio doors that exit to acres of back lawn. Like you, they will love the space, and the sea breezes.
