Oreo & I loved it!! Oreo has been an apartment dog for his whole life. The concept of playing in a yard is a little new to him, he's use to walks. I loved him having room to roam independently! The pet bird on the porch kept talking to us. Greeted us with a friendly HELLO! overall a great time. Clean and large yard.👍

Erin's place is great! My dog loved seeing her chicken's (he's a bird dog, but chicken friendly) and running in the back field. Even though it's not fenced, the back field is secluded and surrounded by trees making it pretty safe for a dog with even a half way decent recall :).

This was a great spot! They left treats out for my dogs and they loved the kiddy pool. Also a nice perk that you can buy their eggs through the app. We’ll definitely be back!!

The area is very nice and quite large. It is well suited for dogs with some basic training. When you park, you have to walk by some older, open-door, barn-like structures that are not part of the park. If you don't have voice control, it would be best to keep your dog on a leash until you get past them. Once in the fields, there are nicely manicured grass paths. It was much easier for my chihuahua to navigate here than some other spots we've tried. There is a small section of trees that can give you a temporary break from the sun or cold wind, depending on when you visit. To no fault of the property owner, we had a minor wildlife issue during our visit. However, when notified, safety measures were swiftly put in place and Preston expressed genuine concern for my dogs. My dogs were not injured, they had a great time! Overall it was a nice, wide open place for my dogs to go romping and practice listening skills. I liked the grass paths so I could easily walk with them.

Beautiful property with a super clean pond! Fencing was adequate to keep my girls in, and there were a lot of places to open/close gates to gain access to different parts of the property. There were other dogs on the property. We couldn’t see them, but could hear them when coming and going. Lauren was a super host, very helpful and kind. We can’t wait to come back. Such a great spot in our small area.

Beautiful place, even though I was a rainy day! Our pups had a lot of fun, so much to run and birds to catch! Lauren was very welcoming and nice. We'll be back, especially when it gets warmer. There's a lake that my pups can't wait to swim at! :)

I had to cancel my appointment due to the weather. Abagail was so sweet and understanding about it. I truly found a gem in both property and people. Thank you so much for understanding!

I have 3 dogs and a yard that’s just full of mud so we came here so they could run out some energy without getting extremely dirty and even with the rain they stayed pretty clean. The yard was big and clean and water for the dogs was provided. My pups are now home and exhausted. We will definitely be back before June.

The space had an easy entrance and was HUGE. My dog loved running around and I have never seen him more happy. I highly recommend.

We love Abigail’s place! We’ve been a few times and my dog is very comfortable there. It is big enough to walk around and play with toys. It is one of our favorite spots!

My Bruno and I had so much fun here! It was easily accessible and the yard was huge. They had water, poop scooper, and a trash can left out for us. He loved playing with the jolly ball that was in the yard. He’s a tired and happy pup

The park was exactly as described and very well-cared for. A nice large area for my high energy pup to run, and great grass coverage so we didn’t leave muddy.
