The 35-acre property allows for nature hikes and swimming activities that promote physical and mental stimulation during extended stays.

Supervised play sessions occur in 45,000 square feet of outdoor space with splash pools and climate-controlled indoor zones. Our 10:1 staff-to-dog ratio ensures safety while customized playgroups match dogs by size and temperament. Enrichment programs include snuffle mats, agility courses, and obedience training that challenge both mind and body. Complimentary valet service and flexible drop-off times accommodate busy schedules while maintaining consistent socialization opportunities for regular attendees.
