Nice little visit with plenty of enough open space for my one doggo. Fully fenced and great communication from the spot owner.

This was a very nice spot for my dogs to burn off energy. The host was very helpful with getting water and other supplies. I would highly recommend this host and property.

We had a wonderful experience! The yard was spacious, clean, and there was some water left out for our pup. Definitely a great spot to get some energy out :) we didn’t sit but there were two chairs left out as well in case owners want to sit.

My two pups absolutely LOVED it here - it’s my favorite spot I’ve visited. It’s very private and well kept with toys, poop bags, and even bug spray left out to use. The host is incredibly nice and quick to respond. My pups are sleeping great tonight and we can’t wait to visit again :)

Just perfect! Huge backyard. One hour flew by so fast. Next time it will be at least 2 hours. My pup had so much fun exploring. Running. Sniffing. Playing fetch. She fell asleep as soon as we got in the car. We will definitely book this as our next destination. 5+ stars.

Fully enclosed backyard (good for big & small dogs). Only one gate to enter/leave, which I found comforting. Lots to sniff & explore. A doggy pool & water bowl were a hit. Process was uneventful, except for running the zoomies out. 🐾

This backyard is beautiful comfortable. I have not been so relaxed in a long time. It was hot ...The point is that this is a beautiful place they have a cute little pool also I brought water for the dogs and of course cleaned up after my fur babies.. My son is disabled and he loved it. Thank you so very much. We'll definitely be back!! Thank you so much ♥

Very spacious! It’s great if you want to be able to play with your dog, and also great if you want to chill and let your dog do it’s own thing

It's was a nice yard. My dogs had fun running around. Would like a place to deposit my poo bags so I don't have to take them in my car w/ me when I leave.

Ash O.

March 2023

We had a great time! The yard is spacious and the neighborhood is quiet. I have multiple dogs so the gate at the back of the yard was super convenient. I could park on the street and only had to walk them a few feet from the car on leash rather than trying to wrangle them all. We will definitely be back!
