Room to run

The yards are the first thing most owners notice. There are 20 acres of natural grass yards and another 30,000 square feet of artificial turf built for dogs, so play space holds up whether the ground is wet or frozen. A splash pad gives dogs somewhere to cool off in summer. Indoor play areas take over when the weather doesn't cooperate.

What an overnight stay includes

Boarding rooms are climate controlled and sit on heated flooring. Meals arrive as room service, and the kitchen serves gourmet food. Dogs get complimentary blankets and Kurand beds, and drinking water is filtered by reverse osmosis.

Practical details

The resort is open 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Booking runs through the website, and the office answers at 319-541-8507 or office@clearcreekdogresort.com. Every dog needs current vaccinations before its stay. The address is 501 South Roberts Ferry Rd in Tiffin. Grooming and daycare run out of the same building, which is convenient for a boarding dog that needs a bath before heading home, and the Pawty Bus can cover the ride in either direction for families elsewhere in Johnson County.
