55If I could leave 6 stars, I would! This was an amazing place to let my reactive dog explore off-leash. He loved running free through the trails — I never knew he had the endurance to do zoomies for almost an hour straight. We will definitely be back! Nicole G.

55This sniffspot was amazing! Fully fenced in with lots of trails to walk through. The property is so well maintained and it is very secure. The hosts thought of everything and are so nice and kind! It was a pleasure not only use their space but also to meet them! My dogs loved finding a hidden gift in the teepee and we got to practice recall and run around with no worries. Such a great experience we are already planning our next visit here. Jana M.

55This is a beautiful property that is a great time for our dog and a nice peaceful hike for ourselves as well. They fit a good amount of trails on 10 acres and the pond was a highlight for our dog who loves the water. Taylor H.

55This is a fantastic place to bring our pups! My sister visiting from Chicago brought her two dogs in addition to my two. Christine was so incredibly welcoming and this location had everything you’d ever need. Baths, treats, bags, watering station and so much more. The owners are so so nice and we will definitely be back! Thank you so much! Morgan J.

55Beautiful property, extremely thoughtful and kind hosts (seriously, they’ve thought of everything!), and a secure fence. It was such a relief to be able to explore in nature and feel confident that Mabel was safe. Mabel had a blast sniffing around in the forest. We even did a little parkour on some of the benches and practiced her training. Toward the end, she started trying to chase some woodland creatures 🤦🏻♀️ so we put her on the long line just to be safe (we only recently adopted her and her recall isn’t reliable yet) and so we weren’t as disruptive to the environment. She left completely exhausted and has been napping happily ever since we came home. We’ll definitely be back! This magical place was well worth the drive. Thanks again for hosting us, Brent!Natalie T.

55First, I would like to give some context about our dogs. We have two high energy Malinois who love working as Search dogs. When off duty, they run off-leash in multiple acres with their dog friends at Day Care. They enjoy a lot of daily enrichment, so I expected to just play ball with them to burn off energy. But, they did not care about their beloved ball. They joyfully ran these acres and swam in the pond while keeping an eye on our location. This was clearly the best hour of their lives. With all we have experienced with them, I have never seen them happier.
We loved the safety and feeling of freedom. I’m very particular about environments and experiences with my dogs. I never worried for a second here.
It was also so helpful to watch how our younger dog would behave while feeling she was completely free. This gave me even more confidence in her. This is also a great place to work on recall with your dog.
I told my husband that this was the best hour of our lives. He questioned whether it was better than our wedding. I had to say that it probably was!
This place is heaven and the hosts are incredibly sweet and helpful. The property is absolutely beautiful. The listing said it is a destination, and that is true. I can’t imagine a better place to enjoy with our dogs. Honestly, I would pay a lot more for this experience. The hosts have made the world a better place by offering this beautiful property to us at such a fair price. Deborah B.

55Our first time at Happy Trails and what a wonderful experience! We have three dogs, one who is almost entirely blind so it’s been difficult to let her off leash. Today for the first time she was able to run and play with her brother and sister without us having to worry she would get lost or hurt. All ran, played and swam their little hearts out. We will definitely be booking again soon.Wendy S.
