So, we would like someplace local to where we are staying to board him for the few days that our guests will be there.
Would be like a Wednesday morning to Sunday stay. Recommendations would be welcome.

You're a good friend to take these measures for your allergic visitor!
You might want to consider having your guest come before you introduce the dog to the house because your clean-up will be much easier. If that doesn't work out, will your rental have a decent vacuum to get all the dog hair? One with a filter perhaps? If not, it might be almost the same as having Jake there anyway.
(Vacuum the furniture, not dust.)
You may want to have back-up plan, such as a close by hotel or even a clean, never having Jake in it, tent. Your guest may have his own stuff for the "just in case".
I would imagine that your friend would bring plenty of allergy medicine along with him, so you should be good there. Be sure to have local emergency numbers handy, as well as directions to the closest medical center. Being prepared could save his life.
jkjoshuatree, you are such a wonderful person to make such a kind offer for a stranger.
Good luck Plut! I hope your friend's visit will be without incident and that you all will have a great time at the lake.
