Dog-friendly lakefront rentals at Petite Lake Resort on Chain O'Lakes

The Whole Pack Is Welcome Here

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 help make your pup’s stay comfortable.

  • All breeds and sizes welcome with prior notice
  • Pet fee: $50 per dog for the entire stay
  • No hidden pet fees beyond our standard pet fee
  • Our rental homes do not have fenced yards. Dogs enjoy the open lakefront property and should be supervised and leashed at all times.
  • Lake swimming access from the dock and shoreline
