55Yard was nice big size and well fenced which helped me feel safer as one of my dogs can be quite reactive. Great gazebo for rain or shine, and they also provide toys! I appreciate that there's a place to drop off poop bags as well! My doggies had a blast πΆπΎ
Additionally Hal and Colleen were both sweet and welcoming, wanting to ensure everything was up to par!alka s.

55Love this sniff spot, very large area. The parking spot is easy, u shaped. Just pull in and your facing exit to the road. Parking entrance gate is close by. This spot has places to sit, undercover area for those rainy days. Water bowls and a hose to water your thirsty dogs. My dogs love to run and play. Fence is secure, extra reinforcements are more recent. Great spot no mud. We love coming hereEllen R.

55I'd been meaning to visit this spot for months now but it's always booked out....and with good reason! The hosts were very kind and helpful with helping me on my first visit. The space was wonderful with big trees, a tall fence and no dogs visible. My trio had a blast! I will have to book in advance now :) Jessi C.

55This was an awesome spot for our reactive pup! We were greeted by the owner upon arrival, very nice guy! Instructions were clear, and their new gazebo saved us from the rain! Completely fenced, and felt really safe having our dog off leash (which is rare). Tons of space for chuck it fetch, and a tug of rope tree. Never ending fun! This place was definitely worth the drive, and we will be visiting again soon! Gabbie W.
