55Melissa’s mountain retreat is so beautiful and serene. It was the perfect place for my dogs to romp for an hour. I think I enjoyed it as much as the dogs did! Persia H.

55This is a beautiful and serene place, and we really enjoyed our time there. Our dog loved it... from the agility equipment, to running and sniffing around among the trees, to trying to catch the birds and a cute squirrel. The host, Melissa, welcomed us and even gave our dog a few pieces of pork roast as a treat.Amber O.

55Our dog had the time of her life today! The dog agility course kept us occupied for most of the time. We'll definitely be back weather permitting with the roads. Highly recommend!Angie D.

55We always have a great time here, even in the snow! I love that Melissa always leaves out a couple dog beds, so my weenie dogs have somewhere dry to put their feet when they need a break from the snow. And the fresh water is always appreciated! All- time favorite place to take my pack. Andrea J.

55Melissa was extremely helpful, letting us know up front how to get to her property knowing we wouldn't have cell service. Once we got there our pups were in heaven and ran the entire time. We had a blast trying to get our pups to do the agility course...they ended up watching US go through the course instead! Melissa's property was fantastic, thank you so much for letting us visit!Laura P.

55The is an incredible spot!!! I can’t recommend it enough. We will most definitely be back when it’s warmer. There is lots to explore and enjoy for any dog! It was such a safe way to adventure in the mountains with our pups who can sometimes be reactive with unfamiliar dogs. Our bigger dog loved playing on the agility equipment, too. Melissa was very friendly and communicative! Dana K.

55Hazel had a great romp at Melissa’s place! She loved playing on the agility equipment and playing fetch. My toddler also enjoyed running around with the dog, and the spot is beautiful and quiet. We were glad to have 4wd to get up the driveway (this was a wintertime visit). Sarah H.

55This is a wonderful space for any dog but especially reactive dogs who need their own space. The agility equipment was well maintained and fun, lots of space to run and explore and the host is very friendly. I noted I had a reactive dog so her dogs were put away. We can’t wait to come back again. Melissa D.

55Melissas slave calm, cozy, quiet, and private. My dogs loved running around and finding all the best sticks. I have two reactive dogs and we didn’t have any issues while we were there! We live in downtown Denver and I’m so happy we found this gem of a place to escape the crowded city for a little bit. It’s only about an hours drive out of the city and such a reasonable price. Me and my boys will definitely be back very soon!Chelsea S.

55Beautiful spot- my pup loved running around and using the agility equipment. It was a breath of fresh air (literally) to be able to let her off leash and not worry about her encountering another dog. We will definitely be booking again!Veronica H.

55Melissa's place is truly a Mountain Paradise! It was a much needed escape from the city into what felt like the middle of nowhere. My dog Ruthie and I loved playing in the fenced in area, which was covered in feet (yes, multiple!) of snow today. We might have even lost a ball or two in the deep snow, oops!
The other area, the dog agility playground is fantastic as well. I was incredibly impressed with how brave Ruthie was when climbing the ramps and crawling through the tunnels.
I would absolutely recommend this Mountain Paradise to anyone who needs a nice city escape to enjoy the mountains and peaceful nature scene. The driveway / road to the hose was mostly clear of snow, but I'd still be hesitant to recommend this trek without 4WD or AWD during the winter.
We had an absolute BLAST, and I hope we can come back soon! Thank you, Melissa!Reilley J.

55What a wonderful spot for a sniffari! Nestled in a cozy spot in the mountains, this sniffspot had plenty of land for the pups to frolick around while being securely fenced so I can relax without worrying about my escape-savvy GSD running off. Melissa was also an excellent host and extremely kind - def would recommend for anyone wanting to spend some alone time with their furry friend in nature!Brenda N.
