Maine is a hotspot for vacations in the summertime, even for locals. Our state is so massive with so much to offer that Mainers become tourists in their own state, visiting nooks and crannies, towns and cities they've never been to before.

Whether you're a tourist or a local, there are times when I'm sure you wish you could bring your furry friend on vacation with you.

Not all pets are travel-friendly but if you have a four-legged friend who loves to hit the road, does well in new places, and wants to go on an adventure, it should be able to come with you on your trip.

Luckily, there are plenty of pet-friendly lodging accommodations in Maine and scattered all around the state, so no matter where you choose to go, you'll be able to find a spot for you and your dog. Some spots even allow cats!

Not only do many places in the state offer pet-friendly accommodations but they also offer generous pet packages to make your pet as comfortable as possible during its stay.

At these spots in Maine, your pet is a respected and well-taken care of guest, just like you and the rest of your family.

From gorgeous Inns in coastal towns to cabins by the lake, you and your pets can have the ultimate vacation in Maine. Want to go kayaking on the lake? Your dog can come with you. Heading out for a hike? Grab the leash.

The weather is warming up, flowers are blooming, and the sun is shining here in Maine. Now is the perfect time to travel around Vacationland with your pets. Here are some places you can stay with them:
