Maine and New Hampshire with the Pooch

My girlfriend and I are looking for a place to stay with our lil? teacup Pomeranian. We?re looking around the Maine, New Hampshire area.
The quiet, picturesque, gay-owned Gazebo Inn, a restored 1847 farmhouse situated one mile north of the gay-popular resort town of Ogunquit, Maine, offers five rooms to well-behaved dogs of all sizes. Furry guests receive a heaping order of lobster biscuits served in a ceramic dish created for the hotel by a local artist. Meanwhile, dog owners enjoy romance-enhancing room options like fireplaces, two-person Jacuzzi baths, and walk-in steam rooms. Dogs are allowed on Ogunquit Beach from October 1 to March 31.

Alternatively, if you?d like a lesbian-specific option, I?d highly recommend Bethlehem, New Hampshire?s Highlands Inn (www.highlandsinn-nh.com). The gorgeous, 19-room property welcomes pets in their five-room Farmhouse building. These rooms have use of the farmhouse kitchen and rates start at $110.
