55Booked an early morning slot today. The pasture was lightly damp with morning dew but it felt wonderful and cooling with all the heat we’ve had. My dog pranced around like a deer and sniffed everything all over. The pasture in the morning was like a new experience for her, with sunlight poking through the trees and birds chirping their morning songs. Absolutely love this spot! Emily Y.

55Good directions. Easy to get to. It was a very rainy day so we didn't even use all of our time but my dogs still had a blast exploring! Fun little trails to follow! They really loved running through the pasture and in the rain, the field smelled SO good, I would have hung out there all day if I wasn't soaked. Will be back! Kym H.

55We went in the rain this time and it was still so worth it. Our dogs met their friend from the park here and they were ecstatic. They loved rolling through the grass in the rain. They left with the biggest smiles. Just bring a towel! Amber P.

55Absolutely AWESOME! Excellent communication with the owners with clear and easy-to-follow instructions on access. Our dog Toast had a fantastic time playing in the expansive open meadow. The fencing is in very good condition and safely surrounds the area. We will be back for sure! Roland B.

55Lovely spot and easy instructions to gate. My small dogs really enjoyed running/hopping through the tall grass. Plenty of shaded area for dogs and humans too (80° weather 😅). Only wish the bench was in the shade too but no problem, the first treehouse in the shade was the perfect spot to watch the dogs. Quiet place, cannot hear or see other animals or people. ❤️Miriam R.

55Host reached out to clarify directions which we greatly appreciated! Most importantly, my two reactive dogs got space to be themselves, romp, run, play, and sniff! Its so hard finding safe places for them where we won’t be stressed too, and this was fun for us too! Eliza D.
