This place is 100% worth the hour drive from Grand Rapids! It’s always so cute watching our pup look for the hidden ball 🎾. If you’re looking for a safe place for your dog to run free, this sniffspot is highly recommended.

This is my dogs’ happy place. They start barking and getting excited when we turn down the road. And major zoomies once I open the car door. I can’t say enough good things about Brent and Chrissy. And we love the new trail! 🥰

We just always have the most wonderful time here! The woods are gorgeous and peaceful and the fully fenced in area gives me such peace of mind. The host is so friendly but very willing / understanding of keeping distance from reactive dogs. Our highlights today were finding the hidden squeaky ball and taking dips in the pond!

Absolutely incredible. Beautiful and secure spot that put even my anxious mind at ease! Brent and Chrissy were incredibly kind hosts that had TONS of amenities available for us as well as some lovely extras! Seeing my reactive girl run free in a safe location made my heart so so happy. We will absolutely be back.

Worth.The.Drive. We cannot say enough good things, it was so nice to let our city dogs stretch their legs and run without having to worry about outside distractions. Brent & Chrissy went above and beyond to accommodate us and our dogs and even gave us a welcome gift! They have truly thought of everything and you can tell they genuinely care. We will definitely be back 🙂

We had a great experience! Directions were super clear and it went so smoothly from the start! Our dog had never been off leash before due to her reactivity to just about everything, and a strong prey drive. We walked around on a leash a few times and then let her roam free. We learned she likes ponds! The area felt very secure and I had no concerns about the fence line. There were some dogs barking in the back part of the area, but they were fairly difficult to actually see through the brush. Would highly recommend and will be visiting again!
