55Great property with everything you need to keep the puppy happy! Lots of fun to run around, play fetch, and get some exercise. I'm a long distance walker and just to have a break from holding a leash is really nice.. Besides the occasional plane flying by, it's very peaceful and quiet.. I'm hoping to frequent often, knowing my dog is safe while I room to workout and relax..Cheryl C.

55Beautiful acreage! It’s so hard to find a place so large and still fully fenced. My dogs had the time of their lives running through the woods and meadow. Our new favorite spot! Leslie S.

55Best SniffSpot in the world! Another wonderful time had by the 4 dog bestie pack - running, exploring, leaping like gazelles in the prairie grass. My two are conked out from their wonderfully fun time they are still napping (even though I am enjoying ice cream on the very couch they’re sleeping on). 🤣Sally S.

55Excellent romping location for two cocker spaniels who love an off leash adventure without the worry of escape for their owners! Well maintained trails in both the field and woods. Even a bit of taller grass for the spaniel leap! Andrea W.

55My dog had a wonderful time, and so did I! Nice open space, a few shaded trails in the woods also. There was even a water bowl provided and plenty of water in a cooler, with patio chairs for me to sit. Many thanks!!!Emily L.

55Great place to practice recall (or learn that you need to practice it!). The area was free of hazards and included water and toys for my dog. There were plenty of shady spots and it was clean. The fencing is as described and in good condition. My dog has plenty of things inside the fenced area to keep her occupied so I was not worried about her trying to make a run for it. Nichole N.

55We had a great time exploring the trails, chasing squirrels, and playing fetch this weekend! There were a variety of balls and chew toys available to use and a cooler with fresh water for my pup. It was a great experience! Pheebs was living her best life! Note: There were sounds of dogs and chickens in the distance, but we did not see any while we were there.Anna G.
