RecommendedFabulous experience on Sunday. our group of 5 adults did the complete mushing school tour which included learning about the dogs, getting to harness them on the line, and getting a chance to drive the team on part of a wonderful and scenic 7 mile trail! Professional musher and owner Eleanor, along with 2 other pros, Darren and Sebastion, provided an experience not to be missed! Bring all the warm clothes you have and they can help if you need more, and be ready to play with the 38 dogs (plus more if Darren brings his team). ... read more
had a fantastic morning with Eleanor and her gorgeous dogs. Eleanor made sure we were well wrapped up before we went out. The dogs are extremely lovable. The ride was fantastic, in fact I'm still smiling a few hours later. Certainly would recommend this place to anyone.

Natalie - we loved having you here the other day and so did the dogs! They always love having guests visit and they do their best to be sure you enjoy the day! So glad you were warm, we do have lots of extra winter gear and we make a genuine effort to be sure everybody is well dressed before they go out! We'd love to have you back anytime!
It was an awesome experience! Our guide was great and answered any and all questions. We did not have snow pants, and were given them, making sure we were more then properly dressed for the ride. The dogs were awesome and so friendly. I would definitely recommend!!

Hi Deanna - So glad we could get you squared away with the proper gear - it's part of our standard operating procedure here; always so important that our guests are well dressed before going out on the trail and with the dogs! The dogs are super happy and so friendly, glad you could spend time with them! Would love to have you back when we have enough snow for sleds (which we do now), so if you're ever in the neighborhood again stop back and we'll take you on a very different trail in the glorious interior forest with our ha... read more
The ride with the ATV’s was disappointing and we about froze I was looking forward to the sleds. It was so cold. I feel like everyone should have been fitted for proper attire. Everyone was very nice but I couldn’t enjoy the ride due to the cold and not having proper clothing on.
Business response:
Hi Tami, So sorry you where so chilly! We did greet you inside and you had lots of warm clothes on including a big jacket, warm hat, mittens and big boots so you looked wonderfully prepared to us! You also sat next to me in the front of the ATV and we had a nice chat. I'm so surprised at your comment and certainly wished you had said something earlier as of course we would have made any adjustments necessary.
Amazing experience! Everyone was so helpful and nice. Dogs were super sweet and SO well trained! The mushers were amazing and answered every question we had. You can definitely tell how much Eleanor and her crew love all their dogs. Highly recommend!
We had a perfect time with Just Short of Magic. The dogs are very friendly and lovely.
Business response:
I am biased, but I say that our dogs are the loveliest around! I am so happy you had a great time with them.
Jameson and his dogs took my husband and I on a wonderful tour ...he was absolutely fantastic and we would do it again in a minute
Business response:
We are so glad that you had such a great time! All of our mushers are wonderful and any of them would love to take you out on the trail again in a heartbeat!
