55Very clean & private backyard! The host was accommodating and responsive. We enjoyed the add-on of the heated spa
55Everything was great! Clean and so welcoming! Our puppy Lennon had a great 1st swim!
55Such a great spot to go swimming! The hosts were so kind and responsive to any of our questions. Our dog Winnie is fairly new to swimming, but had a great time. There were lots of places in the pool for her to stand on, which was really helpful for her. We will definitely return in the future!
55Awesome Sniffspot with pool! My dog had TPLO surgery last year so swimming regularly is really important for her. This pool was sooooooo nice!!! I also played a bit with my other dog who does not like swimming in the unfenced area which she really enjoyed. Great meeting the friendly hosts beforehand.
55We had such an amazing time at Melanie and Gary's pool! My dog Wally had so much fun swimming (and pouted the entire way home - I guess one hour was not enough for him). Gary was so kind and welcoming. The pool area is beautiful and so clean...chairs, umbrellas, fresh water in a canteen with a dog bowl, pool toys and floats. This is one of our new favorite sniff spots, we can't wait to come back!
55it's always a wonderful experience every time we go. hosts are lovely and the pool is perfect. def recommend if you're looking for a peaceful spot to take your pup swimming
55Amazing host! Super kind, genuine, and easy to talk to. The yard/pool was beautiful, clean, and very well maintained. Nova had SO much fun, especially getting more comfortable with swimming and pools! He was also incredibly patient and understanding with her being partially blind in one eye and sometimes nervous with greetings. She absolutely loved the attention 🥰. We’ll definitely be back!
55Back again and just as amazing as the first time. Everyone had a blast, pool and surrounding area were very clean. Host was so welcoming, 100% A+ 5 Stars
55Melanie and Gary are fantastic hosts, incredibly friendly and accommodating. Our dogs had an amazing time in the pool and running around the spacious yard.
55We returned for a second visit and are so glad we did. The dogs were absolutely joyous and had so much fun. This time we made use of the big yard and our city dogs got to run and stretch their legs. Our hosts came out to welcome us , and returned to say goodbye which is very friendly. We’ll be back!

Please note: The main yard is not fenced, making it ideal for dogs with good recall or those using long training lines. Dog & Human Friendly Pool: Want to cool off? We have an awesome pool that both dogs and humans are welcome to swim! We ask that 1 human/dog in the pool unless other arrangements are made with us prior to your visit. For everyone's peace of mind, the pool area is fully fenced. The remainder of the back yard is not fenced in, but is accessible for well-trained dogs with recall.

You are welcome to park in front of the shed, or turn around and park on the grass along the fence line of the driveway.

We’ve got you covered with a dog bed, dog house, water, poop bags, and treats to make your visit easy and enjoyable. Whether your pup loves to explore, relax, or play, this hidden Roxborough retreat offers the perfect mix of charm, comfort, and fun. Come sniff, sit, and stay awhile!
