BOARDING 

​

Dogs are used to being with their people. They are not used to being kept in rooms or kennels where they are unfamiliar with the smells, noises and lack of human contact.  

​

Dogs are also not a one size fits all. We take pride in being able to offer a resort that can spend quality time with dogs who need extra support or provide enrichment activities for those who may be overstimulated and need some down time to decompress.  

​

​​​​​We are one of the few resorts that provides specific lodging experiences for small, timid dogs and those who suffer "little dog syndrome". There is a special area designed for these special pups that is less active and a more home-like environment.  They get their own large private play yard and bedroom where staff is able to cater to their every need.    

​​

Our social guests have a more traditional "sleep over" with friends in our main camp.  We try to have lights out by 9:15 p.m. and they can choose to sleep on the bed with our staff, or on couches or beds provided by us.  We have special holding pens that are located in the same sleep over area, but it allows the pups private space if they want it. 

​

​

Saturday: 8:00 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. 

Sunday:  9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. 

​

Being a kennel free environment, it is vital we follow the drop off times closely.  Without PRIOR APPROVAL, we reserve the right to cancel a board if dogs are dropped off later than allowed.  We understand things happen, but we do expect you to communicate any late arrivals.
