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.
