Betsy is right about La Quinta. Also, Motel 6 and Motel 8's accept pets. They are all over the place and are reliable, inexpensive accomodations while you're on the road. As far as destination vacation places, I start by googling the Chamber of Commerce in the area where we will be staying. They have lists of realtors who rent cottages- I go online and look at pictures and descriptions of what they have to offer. We usually come up with several possibilities in our price range. Then I call and talk to the rental agents about individual properties.We've had really good luck doing it this way, although 2 years ago the 'rustic' log cottage we rented while attending a week long conference in Booth Bay Harbor, Maine, was REALLY rustic- it was 45 outside the first week in June and 35 inside- we made Murray sleep in the feather bed with us at night for the extra warmth! A note about restaurants- we are usually able to find places in the summer with patio seating that allow dogs.Murray is remembered from year to year by the waitresses at Clair's Vegetarian Restaurant in New Haven, Ct.- and honestly, we have encounterd nothing but kindness and a willingness to accomodate us when we travel with him.
