I brought my two dogs and they had an awesome time. The yard was fantastic, there was plenty of room for my dogs to run and sniff. The host was incredibly friendly and nice, very understanding of my one dog that barks! Her dogs were inside her house and my dogs didn't even seem to notice them. It was a great first experience for us. My pups had a great time and were pooped from running around. Can't wait to visit again soon!

Beautiful spot! My dog gets too excited with other people/dogs around but loves being in the woods, so this was the perfect place for her to run around off leash! Lots to explore and very peaceful. Excited to come back in other seasons too!

Beautiful property. Lots of woods to explore and a gorgeous river. Felt so comfortable and relaxed here, and my dog tired himself out real quick. The host was helpful and responsive. We’ll be back!

A beautiful wooded spot to walk and explore with the pup. It was wonderful to let me dog run freely and smell all the smells!! I will definitely be going back!

Amazing secluded hike through some beautiful woods! The waterfall swim area is perfect on a hot day. My pup got to run free and I enjoyed a stress free adventure :)

Woods, water, off leash glory. This is the first time in 2 years my anxious little love could feel safe and RUN! They are exhausted and my heart is full.

A beautiful spot for a nature walk with your dog! Was walkable for my six year old cousin with a tiny bit of help. It is a bit steep in places, and lots of roots/branches on the ground, but not enough to be a problem for most people or dogs. Gorgeous views of the river and even a place you can dip your feet if you want to. Would recommend for anyone looking for a medium challenge medium distance hike with their dog in a private place, a very peaceful spot!

Gorgeous new spot with open fields, forest and a pond! My labs of course took me right to it! Lawrence is very accommodating, he explained the whole property and even had a tent, chair and water and bowl for the dogs. Highly recommend this beautiful spot!

Great spot for a play date for a few dogs! The trail loop is quite short so we took it a couple of times, but the yard/field area is great for playtime. Julie was a great host and responded quickly to any questions I had!

This is an amazing spot! I visited with my two girls after driving cross country from Oregon. We had a BLAST playing with the ball launcher, exploring the agility equipment and savoring these gorgeous mountains 😍 10/10 we WILL be back! Beautiful spot!

We had a great time in the park with our dogs swimming and playing! It was nice to have a safe space for our puppy to play. The park was clean and well stocked.

My two dogs and I had a great time. Had to pick up someone else’s dog poop but I won’t hold that against anyone as it’s easy to miss as they’re running around.

Awesome place!!!! A sniff-spot done right. My 3 pups loved it, with plenty to do and room to run. The pool was a must, my golden would not get out. We will definitely be back!!

The space was so pretty and great for our small dogs to run around and just enjoy the short grass (which was much appreciated) and all the fun places to explore. It was also a nice place to relax in the shade and look at the mountains after exhausting the pups.

This is a great spot! The pool was a great way for my dog to get confidence swimming. They have dog life jackets in various sizes too. He absolutely loved it! The spot is clean and very well kept with plenty of toys and agility equipment, as well as shade.

Amazing spot! Great opportunity to get some energy out for the dogs. They both loved all of the agility equipment and Atlas did not want to stop swimming. Plenty of shade and seating with fresh water available.
