August is an exciting time in Rhinebeck. We host the Dutchess County Fair which brings visitors from all over the country. Some locals get out of town, but our kids are still young enough to have a blast with the All Day Ride...
If you're planning a weekend getaway in Dutchess County or the Hudson Valley, or you live in the area and are looking for a destination for a day-trip, you may be wondering where you can bring your dog along with you. Rhinebeck, NY provides a wonderful vacation spot with many places that you are welcome to bring your cuddly canine along. With two dogs and five cats, we have some experience in pet-friendly travel and are happy to share our favorite spots.
Many Rhinebeck restaurants offer outdoor seating, where you and your furry friend can enjoy a meal together.
