Great place to stay and relax, with anything we could have needed. The fenced yard was perfect for the dogs. There are stairs at every access point, and the yard is shared with a smaller rental--that info is helpful if you have a senior dog or mobility issues. We had absolutely no issues with the other renter! It was a wonferful, easy stay and experience!

Had a great time

Abby was a great host. Her house was very neat and clean and beautifully decorated. It was well equipped and we didn’t want for anything.

Weekend with family

We had a really nice time staying at Swordfish Dog Retreat. The house was clean, well appointed, and wonderfully decorated. It is within walking distance to the downtown and the lake. The lower level was stocked with everything you need to make your dog comfy and the fenced in yard was great too! Mike and Abby were easy to contact about check in and anything else we needed. We hope to stay again in the near future.

Wonderful place to have the puppies only gripe was there is a rental property right in the backyard we weren't aware of with someone staying there. Just felt awkward. So be aware you might have to share the backyard space with strangers. Other than that it was perfect for us.
