St. Michaels, Md., August 18, 2009 – Pet-owners seeking an escape to the Chesapeake Bay with “man’s best friend” continue to choose Five Gables Inn & Spa in St. Michaels, Maryland, for its extra care to guests with four legs. As the Inn caters to the fancy and furry crowd, Five Gables Inn & Spa presents the Pupparazzi Package for pooches with serious star power or at least those that deserve to be treated like stars.

Available now through May 1, 2010, this ultra-glamorous package includes two-night accommodations in a pet-friendly guestroom, a $50 gift certificate for the upscale pet boutique Flying Fred’s and a private pet photo shoot with a photographer while the owners receive a hot stone massage.  The new Five Gables Inn & Spa package is priced from $765 midweek (Sun. – Thurs.) and $965 weekends (Fri. and Sat.), based on double occupancy, and includes daily Continental breakfast, dog bed to use during your stay and treats to take home.  

            “As we greet guests to Five Gables Inn & Spa each day, one of our favorite pastimes is sharing stories about our beloved pets,” explains Proprietor Bonnie Booth. “The Pupparazzi Package gives pet-owners the opportunity to treat their dog like the A-lister they are and have great images that will last a lifetime.”  

A pampered pooch’s day at Five Gables Inn & Spa might start with a morning walk with their owners down Talbot Street before a bowl of their puppy chow while their owners enjoy complimentary hot coffee and homemade muffins. When it is time to shop,  the attentive staff at Flying Fred’s can assist in picking out marvelous clothing including a canine raincoat, specialty-designed lifejacket or simply a selection of fresh baked treats. As the photographer commences the shoot, their owner can direct, as the puppy-model smiles, sits and stays. After a busy day, a nap may be in order while their owners enjoy a swim in the indoor pool followed by a hot stone massage at the on-property Aveda concept spa.

Five Gables Inn & Spa is conveniently located in the heart of the “Hamptons of the Mid-Atlantic,” allowing an easy ride for guests of all breeds, as it’s within a two-hour drive of Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C.
