55Great spot!
55Love this location! It’s great to have the road and surrounding meadows and woods. The incline is great for exercise and visibility. I don’t worry about running into other people and dogs as much as some other spots. Can’t wait to see this spot in the snow! 😊 owner is very responsive
55Great open space!
55Just the best!!!!!!
55We had a hard time finding this place. I made the mistake of not reading the detailed instructions in the email :/ however once getting there it was great to let the dogs off lead in the woods! The stream was mostly dry today. Be prepared for lots of ticks. There was no one in sight except one deer!
55Absolutely wonderful we will definitely be back! Other reviews mentioned ticks and we also had several so just expect and prepare for them. Just a gorgeous property and great place for a dog to be a dog
55Had a great time! This time of year especially, be sure to check yourself and your dog for ticks. Found several on the dog and a few on humans.
55Great spot! The directions provided were perfect. My dog loved running along the path and puddles. Very relaxing spot.
55The property is vast and beautiful. I ridiculously got lost and ran over my time. Lisa and Mark were helpful and responded immediately to my text. I actually had to send them a photo of where I was and they texted me back immediately with clear options of how to get back to my car. They are wonderful; the setting is wonderful. I said it before; this place is a game-changer for my dog/s.
55This is a game- changer for my dogs’ lives!!! Thank you! Thank you!!!!!!!

Location

Frederick, Maryland

Description

Complete freedom to roam on 30 acres with a bonus that our land is surrounded by another 200+ acres of electric company owned land with no roads, no cars, no neighbors… just grass and forest. We have a Google Earth picture roughly showing the property lines and the driveway for you to use while exploring. We ask that you please stay out of the treeline to the right of the driveway as you drive up the hill It's the neighbor's property and it's marked by no trespassing signs. There is no house on the property. Just a camper and a shed. Park anywhere on the road or at the big circle at the top (near the farm office.) We have wifi near the brown shed at the top of the road. Wifi: HSH Password: HardStruggleHomestead Be forewarned that our land is on the side of a mountain so the walk up the driveway will be on a slow incline. Your dogs will be tired after this trip, we promise. As of April 1st there are no animals or livestock on site except for a few bee hives on the property. Most often, the owner is not on site but may do some maintenance time to time. If you see him, he will wave hello… Rest assured he will not approach your dogs unless you approach him. We understand reactive dogs.
