With 3 acres of forest to run, a lake with dock to swim, open area to play and plenty of seating to relax or have a snack, this space offers plenty to entertain both canines and their people for hours.

Located just off Main Street in Farwell, my fully fenced backyard offers a convenient and secure space for your dog to stretch their legs. The location is less than a five-minute drive from the highways and is surrounded by beautiful hiking trails and lakes. If you visit on a Saturday between May and October, you can also enjoy the Farwell farmers market, or catch one of the town’s festivals during major holidays. There are a few takeout options in town, and you’re welcome to use the table and chairs in the backyard to enjoy a meal while your dog explores. Please let me know if you need any accessibility accommodations to make your visit easier.
