Great dog friendly place to stay in Erie! We were there to visit family for Thanksgiving and needed a dog friendly place to stay. This place doesnt just allow dogs - they are welcomed whole heartedly! The hosts provide dog beds, bowls, and have a lovely fenced in back yard. Will absolulty look into staying here again - especially if we come in the summer since it is close the the lakefront and the waterpark.
