Guest Reviews
"Just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with your services! Boomer seemed to really enjoy himself with the other dogs and with your team. I wish we had a place like that to take him around here! Thanks for everything and I'll be sure to recommend you to anyone going to Traverse City with their dogs. Thanks again." - Kelly V. (9/4/08)

"Thank you for taking such good care of our dog, Murphy Levie, last week. Everyone there was so sweet and caring. Murphy had a blast! You did an excellent job! It was such a wonderful and well-run place. We were so impressed. In all honesty, the dog resort was the SOLE reason we chose to stay at Grand Traverse Resort. And it will be the reason that we return. Thanks again for everything!" - Dave M. (9/15/08)
