45Great spot, rough trail, but the dogs loved it. Thanks for the lovely visit.Renee L.
55This is a great exploring spot, and the little creek crossing is fun! As indicated, it isn't fenced, but I kept my dog on a long lead. As others noted, you will likely want to wear long pants and shoes/boots. The host was very friendly and great with my girl. We will be back!Shannon K.
55Absolutely fantastic spot! The owner was very friendly and helpful and I love that he met with us when we got there to let us know about the property. Also very dog knowledgeable. My girl is very friendly but a little reserved and he was fantastic meeting with her.
The property is very large and varied which is great for letting dogs explore and get different experiences. Yuki especially loved running over the log and walking in the creek but there was also long grass and forest and it was just great.
One note to guests is to wear long pants. I should have thought about that since I'd seen pictures of the property but for some reason it slipped my mind and with tall grass and thistles and such wearing short pants was a poor choice on my part 😄.
Would definitely visit again. We had a fantastic time. Thanks! Danica B.
55Great space! Lindsey B.
55We had a great time at Kevin’s place! Kevin was lovely and greeted us at the entrance to tell us about the property. I went with my mom and our dogs couldn’t get enough playing in the creek!Valerie A.
45The location was gorgeous, the dogs loved the creek. We ended up finding a small clearing to play with the dogs. We were notified that there wouldn’t be many cars in the area outside of typical rush hour, only one passed us by. Unfortunately, a teenager on foot passed through the area unexpectedly, alerting the dogs. The interaction was managed well, thankfully. I would return to this spot again, with the suggestion to provide a visual guide or map of areas that are available to use. Remembering several verbal instructions can be a challenge whilst trying to manage excited pups! Aly N.
55Kevin is lovely! We had a good little rip around. Sarah M.
55Our dogs had the best time running in the forest and splashing in the creek! We will definitely be back :)Hannah K.
55Our pups had a blast! Beautiful walk through the clearing and river stops for a drink and play! There were a few pretty little waterfalls too.
Kevin greeted us at our meeting spot and shared where we could go. Great communication. We will be back!Candace H.
55We had a great time on the property with our dog! Kevin is working hard to get the property more cleared, which means more space for running and exploring. The creek is fun to explore.Laurel A.
