Spot was as described. Happy with our visit and my dog Zelda got a chance to get really muddy and smelly playing in the water which she loved! Fencing was adequate for our needs.
Beautiful space! Our dogs loved jumping off the dock into the lake and then running all around the yard. We would definitely visit again. The hosts were great communicators and friendly.
Host replied: Thanks Amanda! So glad you and your pups had some fun times swimming in the lake. Hope you visit again 🙂
Great spot! We really enjoyed ourselves :) The only reason it’s 4/5 instead of 5 is because it’s not completely fenced in (because it really can’t be by the lake), so there could be a mishap in escaping if your dog doesn’t have good recall!
Fun place for my dog to run and play in the water. It’s right on a lake and there was lots of grass/brush, which can be typical. My dog likes to eat grass so I had to pull her out. But we’ll still go back! She had lots of fun!
Great scenic view! Our pup was able to sniff and run around. Bring bug spray especially at night. Other than that perfect place. Will be coming back :)
The spot was great, the hosts were very friendly and accommodating! The yard was open and lush but the grass was long and it appears some sniff spot visitors didn’t clean up after their pets.
Great backyard and very nice people. When needing to ask a question I just went on the app and asked and they came right out to help! Also lovely lake and has shade for very hot days. Happy they provided a hose/water bowl because my dogs were thirsty. Overall great experience
I recently had the pleasure of visiting a private dog park that I absolutely loved. The park was cozy and had beautiful scenery that made it a perfect spot for my furry friend and me to spend some quality time together. The best part was that there was plenty of space for my dog to run around and play without any worries. The owners were very respectful of our privacy and made sure that we had everything we needed to enjoy our time there. They were also very easy to access, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
This was such a fun spot for my dog to run around and swim. The owner was super nice as well. I will definitely be going back to swim and kayak next time! Note that this is not the best spot for highly reactive dogs as there are lots of people and dogs at the public beach next door, who are only separated by water. Fortunately mine is pretty social. But if your dog is okay with that, I highly recommend!
Host replied: Thanks Sarah, glad you and your pup had a fun time. Hope to see you soon!
Great Sniffspot. Boba had a great time! She swam, ran, sniffed, basically had a grand ol’ time! Probably more because of my rambunctious dog exploring everything, she got some little cuts on bottom of couple of paws and her back legs. It didn’t stop her any and she showed no discomfort until we got home. But she’s still running and playing with us around house, so nothing to worry about just to caution. It’s not terribly big for a lot of exploration and sniffing but I mainly wanted Boba to swim, so mission accomplished. We also brought flying disc and tugging toy too. She slept all the way home and earlier too. I had to place a chair in front a small gap in fence that was covered with pile of woods. The fence was fine for us because Boba too happy to swim, explore, swam to the fisherman to care, but if you have strong dog especially jumper like our previous dog, it would not hold. Yami was very nice and responsive. We will be back.
Host replied: Thanks Yvette for the review! You and Boba were great guests. I welcome you back any time!
