Overnight Boarding Resort

Every detail was designed around dogs, not built to process them. Your dog sleeps in a thoughtfully designed suite, wakes up to pine-scented forest air, and spends quality time on enrichment trails.

Every overnight stay includes a pawsitive pathways daily excursion, structured rest cycles, and a personalized enrichment plan built around your dog’s breed, temperament and needs.

Three suite collections are designed around size, comfort, and your dog’s personality:

  • Woodland Collection — Cozy, den-like retreats scaled for petite guests
  • Evergreen Collection — Spacious suites with room to stretch and decompress
  • Grand Lodge Collection — Our most exclusive experience with private outdoor patios

Calming music, aromatherapy, soft lighting, and fear-reducing color palettes are standard in every suite.

K9 Academy Daycare

Not you're typical doggy day care. A structured alternative where your dog actually develops — not just survives the day.

When you and your dog want more than just a traditional play group with open yards, minimal structure and over stimulation. K9 Academy is the opposite. Each day follows a thoughtful rhythm of guided excursions, curated social groupings, structured rest cycles, and confidence-building engagement.

Every Academy student participates in our Pawsitive Pathways Daily Excursion and receives a personalized participation plan based on their 3-day orientation.

What your dog gets every day:

  • Guided enrichment trail excursion
  • Curated social group placement — not random mixing
  • Rotational rest cycles to prevent overstimulation
  • Behavioral observation and development tracking
  • Confidence-building engagement stations

Flexible options from single drop-in days to monthly Trail Passes with escalating perks for committed families.
