This trip was a very last minute thing for us. Our 4 year old pup was diagnosed with cancer and we just want him to be happy whether he has to leave us tomorrow or in two years. Kent made everything so perfect for us. With our dog going through chemo, he’s been “off” lately. We Didn’t know how he’d be with other people or dogs, he’s been weird when I HUG him sometimes… just going through it, ya know? Kent arranged times for us to go on the ferry with no other guests just to help us and our pup feel comfortable. It was the best trip ever. I cannot tell you how badly you need this trip😂. It couldn’t have been better. Make sure to use bug spray (or just have a fire going all the time, the bugs don’t like that haha), bring at least two books if you’re a reader, it’s AMAZING! GO OUT ON THE KAYAKS! Check out stars at night! Our first night we were stargazing and I saw THREE shooting stars and I finally looked up why I saw so many in such a short time and there was a meteor shower happening!
Kent has created an incredible slice of island paradise here. He is generous with his time and knowledge. He made us feel very welcome and met us with exactly what we needed for our weekend. <br/>We stayed at the NaughtyDog island and chose to canoe to and from. It was a peaceful and unique adventure that I’d recommend to anyone.
A unique getaway to separate from the world for a bit
I had the most peaceful and amazing time on Naughty Dog Island. I chose to come to the island because I was doing a solo retreat, to get some time away from a very stressful Summer and Fall - and it was exactly what I had hoped for. The only thing that could have made it better was being able to stay longer! Thank you Kent and Heather!
It was a great experience! Naughty Dog Island was the perfect escape for my husband and I. Much needed and very peaceful :) We’ll be back!
We had an amazing stay! The place is private, secluded, and perfect for relaxing, with an incredible sunset. Our dog had a blast running around the island and slept soundly. It was chilly at night, but the fireplace kept us warm and cozy. The lake's water level was low due to the dry year, so the water pump wasn’t working, but Kent had plenty of sustainable bottled water stocked and is actively working on a long term solution. The kitchen had all the basics, coffee, and utensils; you’ll need to ask for cooking oil if you need it. <br/>Kent is a fantastic host, and we enjoyed every moment. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you for having us!
We had an excellent time during our stay on Naughty Dog Island. The island was beautiful, the cabin was perfect, Kent and Heather were kind and gracious hosts. I highly recommend a stay at this beautiful spot!
Naughty Dog Island was exactly what we were looking for in a disconnected, stress-free weekend. We’re enjoyed the tranquility of the island and had a great time watching our dog explore off-leash. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
Unique stay on a tiny island! Beautiful views from the dock and the little sunset hammock zone. Kent was a very attentive host and made sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay.
Wow. We had the most beautiful, peaceful, and private time on naughty dog island. It’s a reactive dog’s paradise to roam free with no concern for interaction with other dogs, or animals. <br/>Additionally Kent and his crew went above and beyond with his communication to make us feel right at home and have the best experience. We cannot wait to come back.
