Outstanding getaway!

Mark and I, along with our two golden doodles, Cash & Penny, have visited the Emerald Glen Getaway three times since last year. We plan to return this September. It has been a marvelous experience for all of us each time.

There are so many safe areas for our doodles to roam- either fenced or protected by natural, diverse terrain including woods, fields and a long winding creek. It is a joy to see our furry friends running, splashing, rolling around and playing within such a vast and varied space.

The lodging options have been quite good. Twice we stayed in one of the on-site RVs and most recently at the Northstar Lodge, a cute on-site house with its own fenced yard within the larger fenced area. Everything has been clean and neat with welcoming touches. All the kitchenware we needed was provided so we were able to enjoy home-cooked meals. Occasionally we got take out food from some nice restaurants in neighboring towns.

The owners, Ian and Mindy, are attentive, conscientious and really nice people. This shows in all the detailed ways they made us feel right at home- whether providing us with courtesy mugs and blankets, advising us regarding the trails and weather conditions, giving us tips about nearby places to visit or checking to see if we had any questions or concerns.

In sum, it is an outstanding locale for both humans and their canine companions-a lovely oasis run by extremely competent, concerned and likable owners.

Cash and Penny have had such a great time each visit that they forgot to beg for treats. I give this dog-cation getaway a five bones review because, make no bones about it, it's great!
