Description

*We have a lot of boarders for the week of Thanksgiving, so if barking bothers your dog we'd love to have you another time!* When the time changes, we do not recommend coming after dark for your first visit. It can be hard to find us! For existing guests, we do have some lighting and can put out lanterns for you. Come visit us on our 9 acre farm, surrounded by farmland with no view of roads, dogs, or passersby! Large fully fenced play field perfect for chuck-it, frisbee, or just hanging out. Seating, shade, and raised beds available so you and your pup can take a breather. Check the extras for pools (seasonal) and agility equipment! One large former horse pasture surrounded by split-rail fencing for dogs who are on leash (or reliable off-leash) to sniff, hike and play in.

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

There are black raspberry vines growing in the fence. Watch out for thorns! But feel free to pick some when they are in season. The big pasture only has split rail fencing, so only bring in dogs who are on leash or reliable off leash with cows and horses in view! This area also has some holes, a wood pile, a brush pile, and some broken fence planks. It's a big unused field. Watch your step!! There are small slopes into the yards that can get slippery, especially when muddy. A few times a year we hear target practice gun shots from neighboring farms (not hunting). If they bother your dog let us know and we'll send you a coupon for a "redo". The barn play yard is securely fenced, and is where most Sniffers spend their time. Please let me know if you see any other hazards and I will deal with them promptly! This is farm land. You may hear cows, horses, goats, farm and yard equipment. If any of this bothers your dog enough that they can't enjoy their time, let us know and we'll send you a "redo" coupon.

*Please message first if adding to a same day visit. We may not be home to set up!* I will leave out 2 jumps, a tunnel, a Cato plank, weaves, 4 cones, and whatever else I have on hand.

140 Acre Unfenced Private Fields and Trails

Unfenced

140 acres

A true off-leash adventure for dogs who love freedom and nature! Enjoy 140 acres of unfenced fields, rolling hills, and wooded trails—perfect for dogs who love to explore. You can hike on designated trails, on mowed fields or use the ponds for water training for hours with your pup(s). Our farm has: ✔️ Abundant wildlife! ✔️ Wide-open, completely unfenced land ✔️ Natural terrain with fields, hills, and trails ✔️ Ponds, streams and endless sniffing opportunities Parking & Arrival: Please park to the right of the big red barn, by the dumpster and begin walking from there. The farm sits on a very sharp curve, so use caution when entering and exiting the property. Please exit the farm by the farmhouse and only go straight (do not cross traffic as you exit). Dogs must be on leash when exiting your car and near the road. Once you are safely away from the road, dogs may be off leash for the remainder of your visit. If your dog has never been off leash, we recommend you have an airtag or a GPS collar on them. Please do not let your dog leave the designated walking areas on our farm. You will likely have the property entirely to yourself. Occasionally, you may see an older grampa (my father) working in the fields.

Come let your dog romp around my historic home in my fenced acre back-yard. Sit in the tree swing or relax on the bench. Refreshing for dogs and humans! Home adjacent to Goshen Branch Stream Valley Park. Lots of open space and privacy. Help yourself to toys, poop dogs, and water for the dogs inside the smokehouse. Fresh water is put out frequently (as long as I'm in town). FREE doggie swimming pool Mondays through the Fridays in the summer months. My yard is best for dogs that are NOT reactive. I have neighbors who use their back yards and have pets and children!
