You should check with with the American's with Disabilities website at www. ADA.com and click on the link
entitled "ADA's Revised Requirements for Service Animals". The issue in your question would likely focus on
whether such a business owner as described would be required to provide a reasonable accommodation
for a prospective renter of a room at this B&B with a disability that requires him or her to have the services of a service animal which would also need to stay in this room with his master.
