Great experience. Tabitha and Kate are wonderful people and have a great bunch of sled dogs who love to run and are very friendly. Miss the dogs already especially Otter and Frozen. They are the best. They love their belly rubs.

Tabitha was such a great host. She truly is invested in keeping the lineage of these amazing dogs in tact. Kate was excited and very knowledgeable about the care of the dogs. Shared great stories of drama amongst the dogs on the team from love crushes to grudges of a disagreement years ago. Made us laugh. True love for the animals and the sport of dog sledding. Highly recommend- great experience for us Kansas gals. My daughter and I enjoyed every moment.

Wonderful experience. Very knowledgeable, friendly staff. Would recommend this trip. Easy to find and not too far off the “beaten path” when the weather is not good.
