Beautiful! We loved our stay, and hope to come back. What an awesome place.
Naughty Dog Island is a relaxing and magical island escape. Winston, our 9 month old lab was in heaven exploring the island off leash and swimming all day. The short canoe ride to 1 sustainable island was a lot of fun. We’ll be back next year for sure and years to come!
This island is a perfect getaway to unwind and relax in nature. This was my favorite place we have ever stayed. Kent was a great host. This island adventure is truley a special place. We hope to come back one day.
amazing experience and great fishing! the island was comfortable and well equipped, and the host was wonderful. We enjoyed the thoughtful amenities around the island such as the swimming platform hammock, multiple seating areas, and off-grid power setup. The lake itself is a hidden gem: clean, quiet and amazing fishing - caught our personal best bass right off the dock! <br/>highly recommend<br/><br/>
One of the greatest experiences I have had with a stay! Even with the rain, it was worth it! Kent is incredibly on top of things, extremely friendly and accommodating, and the stay was spectacular! Worth every penny. We will be returning!
One of the most amazing trips we’ve been on. Extremely peaceful and private. There was so much to do and the water was beautiful. Our dog also LOVED it. We will definitely be returning!
Third year in a row, and each stay is better than the last! It’s perfect. Plus our dog think it’s the greatest place on earth (they’re right)
What a great place to relax with your dog. So peaceful and beautiful, I’ll definitely be booking again
Just perfect!! Would love to go back
If you want the ultimate“off the leash” experience for humans and dogs, this is it!
