Fetch a Great Getaway at Dog-friendly Hotels & Inns
“When the inn is owned by a team who is very much owned by their dog, you know you’re going to find a great dog stay experience.
Such is the case at The Palmer House Inn (palmerhouseinn.com) in Falmouth. Owners Tom von Zabern and Billy Brown took over the inn in the spring of 2018, and their fluffy, friendly and, as von Zabern said, “princelike” Leonberger, Brody, made it clear from the start this would be his turf too.”
It’s one of many reasons Palmer House Inn continues to rank among the best pet-friendly bed and breakfasts on Cape Cod.

Or perhaps the dog-friendly Henry David Thoreau Cottage (two bedrooms with a private deck and kitchenette).”
