by Marcia Frost, Demand Media

    The Finger Lakes region of New York is filled with picturesque mountains and water, as well as over 100 wineries. It would be impossible to explore this area in a day, so consider staying in a motel, even with your pet. The services of a pet-friendly motel vary from providing food and bedding for your small dog or cat to simply allowing you to keep the animal in the room. Extra charges may apply and the motel can change the terms whenever they choose, so call just before your trip to confirm that your pet is still welcome.
