55First, this is a beautiful property. My dogs went crazy in the car when we pulled up and it was only their second time there. Kathy is thorough with her communication, and overall the experience is extremely easy thanks to all of the details already listed. I felt confident with what I needed to do. Thanks Kathy!
55Great spot!!
55Our dog had a fabulous time. We are excited to return.
55This was a lovely space! Great directions, easy to find, and we had a great time wandering. I did not bring water, but Kathy directed us to a small stream on the way out and my dog had a good time drinking and wading. We would go back!
55“The Acres” is such an amazing place! My pups had such a wonderful time running and playing in a beautiful open area that’s fenced in! We will definitely be back soon! Can’t say enough good things!
55As always the property is above and beyond and the dogs always leave fulfilled and exhausted!!
55Perfect open field. Tons of room for our dog to run around and explore. Tons of benches around the field so you can sit and relax while your dog goes and explores.
55My dogs absolutely love it here! Bring them as often as I can. The acres is always so well maintained.
55This was our first time at this spot. We paired it with a visit to “the pond.” Beautiful property. Lots of trees/bushes and our dogs loved zooming around and hiding from one another. If your dog is not a fan of water, I recommend this spot over “the pond.” There’s more for non-swimmers to explore at “the acres.” We will definitely be back!
55“The Acres” is a gorgeous, spacious, and well-kept piece of property, and Kathy is a wonderful and gracious host! Our three canine kiddos had a blast running, playing, and exploring. This is a place we will most surely be back to visit! Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to visit, Kathy!
