Lakes region has plenty of hotels & motels that welcome the family dog

New Hampshire’s hotels and motels recognize the important role of a family dog, and several offer pet friendly hospitality, even including convenient maps of local walking trails. Pet friendly and dog friendly lodgings and accommodations can be found in almost every region of New Hampshire. Check ahead at pet friendly and dog friendly NH lodgings, because some lodgings request a refundable cleaning deposit and place limits on the size of visiting pets. Visitors love the Lakes Region of New Hampshire for its year-round outdoor activities, water sports, and snow sports on the historic Lake Winnipesaukee and the Squam Lakes, as well as for the shopping, dining, and entertainment at the towns of Wolfeboro, Meredith, and Moultonborough.

Dogs are welcome in this hotel.

The Fireside Inn & Suites welcomes pets and we offer comfortable accommodations for their owners. In order to ensure that those with allergies are protected, we have specific pet friendly rooms. Please call to check availability. To ensure your pet’s comfort, the comfort of other pets, and of all our guests, we have a few guidelines that we ask your pet to follow:
  • Pets shouldn’t be left alone in their room. Even well-behaved pets do act up when their family leaves them alone.
  • Pets should be kept on a leash when not in their room (unless, of course, you have a goldfish).
  • When you walk your pet, please do your part to help keep our grounds clean. There is a perfect dog walking area behind the hotel, toward the waterfront.

A quiet family retreat for every season.

The Cottage Place on Squam Lake is situated on the shores of pristine Little Squam Lake in Holderness, a perfect location for your vacation or just a few days of peace and nature. Our vacation rentals include seven cottages, one six-bedroom lodge, and eight cottage suites all of which offer year-round access to the lake and surrounding area. You can spend your time enjoying your comfortable rooms, sit on your deck and listen to the loons, hang out down at the beach, and join others in the common areas which include a gift shop, coffee shop and lobby with a cozy wood-burning stove. Or take a stroll around our lovely grounds and wander among the cottage gardens.
Our sandy beach is directly across the street and frames the beautiful Evans Cove on Little Squam Lake. Seasonal changes bring new purpose to our property like swimming, fishing, skiing, and snowmobiling. On the lakeshore, just in front of the vacation rentals, is a large dock that is available for rental by guests with their own boats.
