Dog owners know the dilemma: You’re out for the day with your four-legged sidekick when hunger strikes.

Policies and outdoor seating can change with the season, so calling ahead is always a good idea.

The inn welcomes pets on request, and its front porch and sprawling lawn make inviting places to settle in with a canine companion. They even welcome well-behaved patrons — bipedal and quadruped alike — in the cozy dining area.
