Truly Unique Experience

Gavin, Nov 2022

Maria was an amazing host, and her dogs were great fun. It was truly a unique experience to meet 18 dogs at the same time. Lots of kisses and cuddles. We had a blast petting and playing with her pups and their personalities were truly on display. It's also very clear that Maria and her husband are true husky and sledding fanatics and treat their dogs as if they were their children. It was a great hour with the pups.

Thank you guys, we had a great time with you :-)

Best excursion ever

Eric_L, Jul 2022

Gunni and Maria could not be nice and the dogs were super fun. Their house is close to the Cruise Port, but far enough to see the country side.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thank you for the visit.

The host and the huskies....

The host and the huskies. Just warns your heart to see how the host and huskies relate. I would go again
