55The property is GORGEOUS! My dog laid right down in the stream when he found it. He was delighted to find plenty of sticks to chew. I caution those whose dogs are afraid of loud noises, though. Either someone was hunting or they were just shooting on their property, but we heard 2 gun shots. Lugnut was a little scared at first, but he ended up being too excited to care. I doubt it is a regular occurrence, but I wanted to mention it just in case. We will definitely be booking more visits!Lindsey C.

55We just moved here and needed a place for our big dogs to run until we build a fence in our yard. They absolutely loved this location and ran for hours. It’s fenced in well so I didn’t feel worried letting them roam. Perfect place to let your big dogs get out their energy! Meghan V.

55This is an awesome place to take a roaming doggo. My dog had a blast running up and down the field. It is pretty well fenced too. There were some neighbor dogs who were pretty vocal, so be aware if your dog is affected by that. Regardless, great spot!!Ryan G.

55Really lovely/As advertised. My apartment beagle mix had a great time getting a break to just enjoy some quiet space, work out her nose, have plenty of room to run and get dirty. The small gap in the fencing at the little creek didn’t concern me. Will book here again! Lane S.

55We had a wonderful time and plan to be back again and again! It was exactly as advertised…if not better:) My big German Shepherd had a blast running all through the securely fenced field and playing in the creek. A sweet set up by the creek for the humans to relax with chairs, a hammock, bug spray provided and a big container of tennis balls for the dogs. We never saw another person or animal and my dog was happily exhausted for the ride home. Well worth the drive😁Cyndi S.

55Amazing spot for my dog to run and play and get wet in the small creek. I am so grateful for this since he doesn’t like dog parks. Huge area with shade and sun. He was tired at the end and decided to relax with his stick. Beth C.
