Bring the Dog

A Lake House Rental Where the Dog Is Actually Welcome.

Most “pet-friendly” vacation rentals mean a hefty fee and a dog-hair-stained corner of the bedroom. At Petite Lake Resort, pet-friendly means your dogs can enjoy the open lakefront property, the dock, the lake, and all the smells the Chain O’ Lakes has to offer.

As a welcome gift, we provide a complimentary dog basket that includes dog towels, a water bowl, and a starter roll of waste bags to make your pup's stay comfortable. Dogs of any size or breed are welcome (up to 2 per booking), and they are allowed on all outdoor furniture, deck areas, in the lake, on the dock, and in all indoor living areas.

🏖️

Private Sandy Beach

Exclusive to your group for the duration of your stay. The dog swims, you swim, the kids swim. No other guests competing for the shore. Sandy Petite Lake entry.

Private Boat Launch

Bring boats — and bring the dog on the boat. Private launch on Petite Lake with full Chain O' Lakes access. No marina crowd, no shared ramp.

🛶

Kayaks & SUPs Included

Complimentary for all guests. Morning paddle on quiet Petite Lake. Some dogs love a kayak ride. Find out if yours does.

🧧
