55Greg had an awesome time exploring. He enjoyed looking at the chickens and being able to romp around the yard. Perfectly fenced so escape artists don’t stand a chance! Kathy W.

55Beautiful, quiet area with tons of space for pups to run and play! My pups were tired within the first ten minutes. The agility course was super fun, and made fetch extra challenging. Fencing is very secure! The only drawback is I wouldn’t recommend for dogs with high prey drive—they’ll want to watch the chicken pen next to the yard the entire time instead of enjoying the yard.Claire B.

55Host was very responsive and helpful, and location was fantastic! One of the best spots we've been to and the dogs loved exploring the yard and sniffing the animal sniffs. A bit of a hike from the city but definitely worth the trip. We'll be back! Brianne S.

55Totally enclosed and secure spot, even for the little ones. Lots of toys and water provided. Area was clean!
My little 11 pound dog doesn't get off leash much and she totally enjoyed her freedom here. She quickly learned about chickens and horses and the freedom of no leash. We will be back.Kim W.

55Great spot for an hour of off leash time. Used the toys, agility equipment, and he drank lots of the fresh water left out as it was a hot day. Easy to find and very peaceful setting. Would definitely book again! For your consideration, my dog was a bit reactive with the chickens and horses at first but the animals didn’t react/seemed unbothered. (my dog is trained to go to the down position on command which diffused his reactivity quickly.) As another commenter mentioned, if you have a dog with high prey drive the animals may be a distraction.Melinda G.

55We had a great time w Mary. She came out to chat with us briefly while our Great Dane run amok. The yard was ginormous - plenty of room for our big dog. Clean and easy to find. There was shade and places to sit. Julie D.
