2. Homey lodging with a friendly canine host
Tourists looking for homier accommodations are booking Lizzies Lodgings 2. The residential house is built in 1845, and the host serves light breakfast on the deck. What’s more—you’ll be greeted by a dog upon arrival. She may be a little doubtful at first, but all she wants is a tousle on her head and a small scratch on the belly. It will be like coming to your own home even if you’re far away on a vacation. Travelers stay upstairs in either of the two bedrooms with a shared bath. It’s an old house, so you better not be surprised about the old-fashioned tub with a hand shower, but it’s all part of the experience. The place has a refrigerator, iron, and ironing board for your convenience. While Lizzies Lodgings 2 is undeniably an antique house, it is located near a Starbucks. Parking won’t be a concern since the house has its own inside the premises or out front.

3. A favorite accommodation by women who love some pampering (from USD 175)
This private accommodation is popular among female travelers because of all the pampering they get from the couple who owns the place—starting from the welcome cheese and meat tray to the daily breakfast. Their dog is too irresistible as well. And, as if having an adorable couple and a cute dog as hosts isn’t enough, the B&B is just within a few steps from the lake. Choices of rooms include the Master Suite with one king-size bed attached to a bath and a private porch; a Queen Bee room with turned spindle four-poster queen bed and a shared hall bath; and the Honeycomb room with a newly updated Parliament paneled queen bed, loveseat, faux fireplace, and view overlooking the backyard.

4. A rustic room near outdoor activities and attractions (from USD 207)
Ye Olde Manor House is a bed and breakfast with eight guestrooms—the Oak Room is one of those. Why is it called the Oak Room? It’s because the charm of the room lies in its oakwood interior designs.

There is free Wifi, along with a complimentary drink and gourmet breakfast, AC, and blowdryer. Elsewhere in the house are antique pieces.
