Pet friendly Connecticut lodgings welcome the family dog

The Interlaken Inn, nestled between two lakes in the foothills of the Berkshires, welcomes your furry fellow vacationer with eight pet-friendly rooms in its comfortable Woodside House. This inn building is in a more secluded spot, with direct entry from the outside for privacy and convenient nearby parking. The vaulted-ceiling rooms feature microwaves and refrigerators. The inn’s farm-to-table restaurant means you don’t have to leave your pet for long to enjoy great meals. The lakefront inn is set on 30 scenic acres, perfect for strolling, with complimentary canoes and kayaks available for guests to use on Lake Wonoscopomuc. Nearby, you and your pooch can hike part of the Appalachian Trail or choose from a variety of local trails.

At the welcoming Stanton House Inn, they know it’s difficult to enjoy your vacation if you have to leave an important member of your family at home. That’s why this spacious, elegant inn has dog-friendly accommodations among its 20 cozy suites and rooms, so you can bring the whole family. The dog-friendly package, for pooches up to 35 pounds, includes a dog bed, dark towel for dirty paws, food and water bowls, upcycled cleanup bags and a personalized welcome kit with treats, a coupon for a local pet store and dog food samples. There’s also a guide to local dog-friendly trails, parks, restaurants and stores. All dog-friendly rooms are on the patio level with private entrances.
