Imagine an overnight trip with your beloved canine in a historic bed and breakfast. At the Kuttawa Harbor House located in Kuttawa, pets who are 30 pounds or less are welcome. They do charge an additional $20 for your furry friend, but it is a small price to pay to stay in such a lovely establishment. They have single rooms, suites, and even a private two bedroom with a kitchen. There is also a separate cottage or a waterfront lodge with two bedroom kitchen units that you can rent. All have magnificent water views with lake access for you and your canine companion.

Step

Making arrangements

At the Kuttawa Harbor House pets are welcome but you must let them know when you make reservations that you will be bringing your pup with you. Remember, your pet will need to always be well-behaved when visiting the establishment.

Step

Spending time together

When staying at the Kuttawa Harbor House always keep your pooch on a leash. You do not want your dog to run around the bed and breakfast unattended. Only when you are in the confines of your lovely room can you safely unleash your beloved pooch to spend some quality time together in the room.

Step

Taking a walk

The historic bed and breakfast is located on a lovely lake where there are numerous walking trails. Even if it is a cold day, you can don a coat and still enjoy the brisk weather while you take a waterfront stroll together along Lake Barkley. Always keep your pooch on a leash when walking the trails.

Beautiful Nolin Lake is pristine even on a cold day. You can rent a lovely cabin on the lake with four bedrooms and three full baths that sits right on the lake. It is an ideal getaway for the whole family, furry and human alike. There is even a lovely two tier deck where you can sit and enjoy the lakeside view. The property also has a boat slip if you feel like a bit of fishing with your four-legged buddy. The cabin has a wood burning fireplace that is ideal on a cold evening. There are also numerous games, televisions, and DVDs to keep you occupied. A cabin is a great place for a weekend getaway.

Step

Arrival

When you first arrive at your own private cabin you will need to keep your dog on a leash so you can check out the premises. Slowly introduce the dog to every room in the house. If you feel confident that your dog is completely housebroken and will not chew up any items, then you can unleash the dog in the privacy of the cabin. However, if you are unsure of your pooch's behavior you might want to keep them on a leash for the duration of the visit, or ensure that they are at your side the entire stay.

Step

Take a walk

The lake is lovely and features numerous trails. Even on a cold day, it is a great place to take your dog for a walk. Go for a trek to investigate the sights and smells and soak up some much-needed sunshine. Always keep your dog on a leash when walking the waterfront.

Step

Boat ride

If you feel like fishing, why not head out from the cabin's private boat slip and do a bit of fishing? If you will be fishing with your dog in a boat then you should put a life vest on them. Even if your dog is a water-loving breed like a Labrador and experienced in the water, a life vest is still a life saving device on a cold day. If your dog should fall into cold water, they could become shocked and not immediately be able to swim. A life vest can save your pooch's life.

Activity description

In the heart of Lexington, sits the Arcadium. It is a huge arcade for adults. You can duck in and play a classic arcade game while enjoying a cold brew. However, the best part of the Arcadium is that it allows dogs. The establishment is open seven days a week. It is completely dog-friendly. Many people seek refuge in the warm arcade and brewhouse when the weather turns cold. You can enjoy one of the numerous beers (their beer list is indeed huge) while playing one of your favorite arcade games with Fido sitting next to you.

Step

Respect others

When you first arrive at the Arcadium you should have your furry companion on a leash. Even though pets are welcome, you should still ask when you enter if it is okay that your dog accompanies you. There will probably be other dogs at the popular hangout when you first arrive. Always be respectful of other owners and their dogs when visiting the location.

Step

Order up

When you order a refreshing beer or beverage don't forget your pooch. The establishment is normally happy to provide cold water for all canine patrons. Make the request if you think your dog is thirsty and could use a refreshing drink.

Step

Play a game

Arcade games are fun and they are even more so with your furry friend by your side. However, don't forget your four-legged buddy is sitting beside you as you play. Always keep your dog on a leash next to you and avoid letting your pooch bother other players. Be aware of their needs and wrap up the evening when it is apparent they have had enough.
