[nagdu] Bed and Breakfast

Sun Apr 28 19:45:00 UTC 2013

Steve,

there's an exception when the owner lives in the same building and there are 
a very small number of rooms to be rented.  It would be the same thing if I 
wanted to rent out my guest room.  I wouldn't be obligated to allow a 
service dog with it's handler if I didn't want to.

They are still subject to the provisions found under ADA Title III, Places
of Public Accommodation.

Hey Anne,
I wonder where a Bed And Breakfast place would be treated under the ADA?
Anyone know this?

Anne, I would do the same thing if i stayed in a B&B and was bringing my
guide dog.  I never stayed at one but many times they are owned and run by
people who also live there.  So, yeah, I personally would talk to the owner
before going there to make sure all is well.  To me doing this could be the
difference in having a pleasant time or a tense one which nobody needs.

Did you get to see the Lab's puppies while at that B&B?  I bet they were
sooooo cute!
