Those that are planning on making this a longer vacation, you may find renting a cottage to be a great option
Cottage Rentals
There are pet friendly cottages on this site www.cottagerentals247.com and some of the lakes are very close to town. We called them and have been assured that there is flexibility on arrival/departure dates because we are into September. You could arrive on a Thursday or Friday instead of a Saturday as listed on their site. These cottages book up fast and there are only a handful of pet friendly ones within 20 mins of town, so if this of interest to you, we suggest booking immediately. Be careful of the lake though, some are very far away! (Bay Lake, L’Amable Lake, Lucerne, Albion, parts of (south end) Baptiste are all close to town.) You can call them during regular business hours, 6 days a week if you have questions.
There is a unique Bed & Breakfast, which offers a dog friendly, privacy Guest Suite (a 425 sq ft.. one bedroom apartment). There is a queen bed in the bedroom, a queen size pull out sofa bed in the sitting room, a fully equipped kitchenette and 3 piece bath - electric fireplace, flat screen TV/DVD player and WiFi capability - the Guest Suite has it own private entrance. They provide a homemade continental breakfast each morning. Located 5 minutes form Millennium Park. Little Island Guest Suite.
