Welcome!
We are near Traverse City, Michigan just a few miles North
of the Grand Traverse Resort (Acme, Michigan). We are
in Williamsburg, Michigan and just one mile South of Elk
Rapids, Michigan. We are located on the West Shore of
Elk Lake and very close to the sister lake - Torch Lake.
Bokhara Pet Resort
& Grooming Spa
has been providing premium pet care services to the Grand
Traverse, Antrim & Kalkaska Counties for over 30 years.
Each Bokhara Pet
Resort canine guest has their very own private sleeping
accommodation area, their own private outdoor exercise area,
and we never allow a guest to become intimidated through
forced interaction with other strange dogs. We believe each
guest is entitled to their own private accommodation space
to lessen stress and promote a healthy boarding experience.
We DO NOT believe it is
is at all healthy for a pet to be co-mingled with other dogs while
boarding. We believe it is trying enough for a pet to be
separated from their owner overnight without the added stress of
being forced to board co-mingled with other strange dogs. We
work very hard to make sure your pet has an enjoyable experience
while you are away.
 Pet
Boarding & Lodging:
Pets visiting Bokhara will have a healthy, enjoyable & rewarding
experience with all of our fresh country air and the
immaculately clean indoor/outdoor areas for pet lodging and exercise.
Located right on Elk Lake and very close to
Grand Traverse Bay, and Torch Lake.
Feline Guests are not boarded in small cages in
the same areas as dogs such as your veterinarian or other kennels use, but our
purr...line guests are quartered in luxury suites all
containing play and climbing toys, comfy sleeping beds and extra large
litter boxes - all within a completely separate, quiet,
very quaint, and
unique antique late 1800's era guest cottage.
Bokhara provides CAGE
FREE feline boarding in a special Victorian cottage - See our
Feline Info.
Our pet care services have spanned Three
Generations of the Smith Family providing
Family
Owned and Managed pet care
services & multiple camper activities.
Bokhara has a commitment to make your pet feel right at home when you're away for we pride
ourselves in the wonderful services as well as our excellent pet care.
From our luxury
boarding, doggie day / swim camp, to the our qualified groomer
salon and spa - we are a full service boarding kennel for dogs and cats
(caged exotics are also welcome) for your most
treasured pets!

Fun
Activities Programs: The Bokhara
grounds has over 10 acres of stately white pines and
hardwoods just for our Nature Woods Walks & Extended Hiking Program, and over
7 acres of manicured lawns, with a full 3 acres within a perimeter fence
just for our
PlayTime Programs which do include tennis and frisbee session.
And, for the more sedate pet we offer Hugs & Cuddles,
Garden & Grassy Area Strolls
for a quiet and loving experience. See our
Menu of Activities.
Swimming Programs:
Bokhara Pet Resort & Spa is located on the shore of beautiful Elk Lake,
with 300 feet of our very own beachfront for our canine swimming programs, or for
our pet boarding guests - you may come to visit your pet and take
the pet & your family for a refreshing dip. We
understand that not all dogs like to swim, but there isn't a
single dog that would not enjoy the sedate walk over our grounds to the lakeshore
and then a bit of fun while at the lake!
Because your pet is special...
we think
you'll both feel better about your next vacation! |
