Sounds like she's staying in someone's home and paying to stay there. 
Am I right?

Marianne,

	The Americans with Disabilities Act considers "an inn, hotel, motel,
or other place of lodging, except for an establishment located within a
building that contains not more than five rooms for rent or hire and that is
actually occupied by the proprietor of such establishment as the residence
of such proprietor". It is important to note that both elements must be met.
If, for instance a place has five or fewer rooms for rent and it is not the
residence of the proprietor, it is still a place of public accommodation. If
you have a specific question, please ask it on the list so that others may
benefit from the discussion.

Fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala

We are travelling to the Washington DC area and renting a home.  It is owned
by an individual.  I plan to take my dog guide.  Has it been determined if
these types of rentals are covered by the laws?  We will actually be staying
in Maryland.  I have also run into issues with bed and breakfasts at
different times.  We prefer these arrangements to standard hotels.
