Michigan Dog Friendly Travel

Dog Friendly Michigan Rentals to Book This Summer

May 2, 2022

Summer in Michigan is mostly spent out on one of the Great Lakes or tucked away in the woods of a state park. Luckily for your dog, both activities are fairly dog friendly. If you are planning on bringing your dog with you this summer for a Michigan getaway, you’ll either want to camp (great option!), stay in a hotel, or book one of these dog friendly Michigan vacation rentals.

The great thing about staying in a vacation rental with your dog is you don’t have to worry about other people in hotels or the crowded campgrounds. It also allows you to have more freedom in where to stay. Even though I can’t possibly stay in all of the cool vacation rentals out there, I have way too much fun finding and saving dog friendly Michigan vacation rentals for the future!

Swoon Reads has been an awesome experience. One that I would do again with another story. I'm not sure if Sweet Enough was the right story for Swoon Reads, but I'm thankful for every one of those adds, comments and ratings. ⁠
⁠
Sweet Enough will be on Swoon Reads for another season, (their next pick will probably be end of February) so if you've been wanting to read it, now is the time!⁠
⁠
I'm not sure where this book will end up quite yet, whether it'll be self published or thrown into the query trenches but it is definitely one that I am not willing to give up on.⁠
