If it was a place I REALLY REALLY like to go to, I'd just not mention anything at all. I mean, if you bring a playpen or even a crate, they're really not gonna do any damage (to furniture, etc) anyway.
My husband and I were looking at beach house rentals down south and most of them say ''no dogs''. It's not fair! yet at the same time, I don't see my Daisy as a typical dog that they're talking about. Daisy, or yorkies for that matter, are happy and content in a pen or crate (not that we're gonna keep them in there..lol) and therefore should be allowed.
I think it's really up to you to keep it to yourself (not consider lying) and not tell them about your furbaby. Nobody will ever know...
There's my opinion!
