From Hawks Prairie to St. Martin's, Lacey families trust EdelHaus Pet Resort with their dogs — 30 minutes south on I-5, 15 acres of fresh air, three decades of experience.
Lacey is one of the South Sound's fastest-growing cities, stretching from the family neighborhoods around St. Martin's University and the Meridian Campus, through the Hawks Prairie shopping district, and out to the suburban subdivisions along Carpenter Road and Marvin Road. Lacey families lead active lives — between Cabela's runs, weekends at Long Lake Park, school sports schedules, and the constant drive to Joint Base Lewis-McChord just up the freeway. When the family hits the road, the dog still needs somewhere safe to stay.
That's where EdelHaus comes in. Our 15-acre resort sits about 30 to 35 minutes south of Lacey — a straight shot down I-5 to exit 88, then a few minutes west on country roads. Lacey families have been using us for years for everything from one-night stays during Seahawks weekends in Seattle, to two-week boardings during deployments and PCS moves, to quick midweek drop-offs while a Capitol Campus parent travels to a conference in Spokane. We're open seven days a week, which makes the unpredictable Lacey schedule a lot easier to manage.
What keeps Lacey families coming back is the experience their dog actually has when they're with us. This isn't a corporate kennel chain. It's a 30-year family-owned operation with award-winning training credentials and a real love for the animals in our care. Your Hawks Prairie Lab gets a heated-floor suite, daily exercise on 15 acres of open Pacific Northwest land, and the kind of one-on-one attention that's impossible at the big-box facilities closer to Lacey.
Boarding, training, and pick-up & drop-off — every service designed around real Lacey schedules.
12 indoor/outdoor kennels and 7 luxury premium suites with heated floors and ceiling fans. Lacey JBLM families especially appreciate that we accept extended bookings during deployments, and we'll work around military leave windows whenever we can.
Learn About Boarding →Over 30 years of training experience — perfect for Lacey families with new puppies from a Hawks Prairie breeder, rescues from a Lacey shelter, or adolescent Labs that need real obedience work. Puppy foundations through advanced board-and-train programs.
Explore Training Programs →Heading from Lacey to a Great Wolf Lodge weekend? We pick up and drop off at Great Wolf Lodge and Lucky Eagle Casino. Climate-controlled, stress-free transport so your Hawks Prairie family can enjoy the waterpark.
See Transport Options →From Hawks Prairie or anywhere along Marvin Road, hop onto I-5 South. About 25 miles later you'll reach exit 88 (US-12 / Aberdeen). Head west a few minutes and you're at our gate. Lacey customers love the drive — once you clear the Tumwater interchange, it's smooth country highway the rest of the way. Most people arrive more relaxed than when they left.
"My husband is at JBLM and we got hit with a last-minute training rotation right before our planned vacation. EdelHaus took our shepherd on 48 hours notice with zero drama. They sent a photo update and our girl came home happy and tired. They have us for life."
