Introducing Our Pup Program 🐶

Traveling with your dog should feel just as seamless as traveling solo—and that’s exactly what we’ve created with our FLX Escape Pup Program.

We’ve thought through the details so you don’t have to.

What We Provide

During your stay, your pup will enjoy:

  • dog bowls (food + water)
  • dog treats
  • disposable poop bags
  • outdoor pooper scooper
  • wipes for muddy paws
  • lint roller
  • a cozy dog blanket

Because the little things make a big difference when you’re away from home.

Giving Back with Every Stay

Every time a dog stays with us, it does a little good, too.

We donate 10% of every pet fee to our local humane society, so your trip helps support animals in the Finger Lakes community ❤️

Why a Dog-Friendly Finger Lakes Getaway Just Works

There’s something about the Finger Lakes that naturally lends itself to slower, more intentional travel—and that includes traveling with your dog.

Morning walks, scenic drives, outdoor tastings, lakeside sunsets… it’s the kind of place where your dog fits right into the experience.

And when you stay somewhere that’s designed to welcome both of you, the entire trip feels easier.

Our Pawlicies  

To keep the experience enjoyable for everyone, we ask guests to follow a few simple guidelines:

  • Maximum of 2 dogs per stay (dogs only)
