55Had a lot of fun in the snow today; worn out now.
55Great space for dogs to run around! Will def be back!
55Be aware, your dogs will see the horses next door and are able to go right up to the fence and come nose to nose with them but the horses were not phased by the dogs and were very calm. This is easily our new favorite spot. Lots of wide open space for fetch. We brought toys but there were plenty of fetch toys provided. The disposable water bowls were a nice surprise because although we brought water, we forgot to bring a bowl. Our heeler loves to swim so she really enjoyed the big pond. The huskies like to explore and there were plenty of little areas for them to sniff and be nosy. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spot. We will be back :)
55It was incredible, the dogs jumped in the water as soon as they saw it and they loved the place including the deers running around. We were able to wash and dry the dogs with the hose and dryer provided. Thank you for offering a wonderful place to enjoy with the dogs. We will come back.
55Great place, nice amenities, and highly recommend. We will definitely be back. The pound is deeper than I thought. My 40 pounds dog used to love swimming but she refused this time. But we still had lots of fun there!
55Super spacious and the large pond was great! Has a nice swinging bench by the pond.
55Very beautiful and private lot! My dog really enjoyed exploring and running around.
55Amazing visit as always! Thank you for letting us visit. This is our favorite sniffspot!
55My pups were over the moon today! They really needed that! Thank you!
55Our host was very communicative and the property was easy to find! Everything was exactly as described and our pups absolutely enjoyed swimming! It was a super fun day for everyone!
