i would say rarely at best. there may be a slim chance that i would be there to check on the property or work on the orchard, but generally, i would avoid being there when guests are, or i would communicate that i am already working there if they happen to book short notice while i’m there. there is also a risk the forest manager may be there which is why i asked that you message first.

The driveway has a locked gate, the smart lock died due to misuse by a past guest (left the smart lock in a mud puddle). We’ve had to replace it was a non-smart padlock. You’ll need to park at the gate and walk around. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Description

Please Note: 11/25/22- I’ve decided to open up the calendar for a bit to allow reservations with greater ease, but I do still ask that you message first in case someone related to our forest cleanup project is on-site. 10/1/22- At this time the property could be potentially available for your use, however, we are preparing for the forest cleanup project that we’ve been working towards with the DNR for over a year. If you are interested in visiting here, please message and if it works out I’ll be happy to accommodate you. 07/01/22- Important: The Sniffspot platform does not allow hosts the option to approve or cancel reservations, as such I have blocked my calendar to more easily control reservations. I often don’t know until last minute when the forest manager I’m working with for the DNR forest cleanup project is on-site, the logging will take place hopefully this winter. — This 21-acre forest with a large beaver pond is classified as a class-A wetland. In addition to this, you can find a shallow creek, beaver dams, old-growth forest, and phenomenal bird habitat. Find privacy and quiet with the exception of the songs of many birds and woodpeckers. This property was once a show home, but a fire took place over 10 years ago and the house was not rebuilt. While the ruins that remain are minimal, it sets an interesting backdrop; perhaps it can be the scene for a mysterious photoshoot. Within the property is a small orchard, we do ask to try to not let the pups do their business there. Spring 2022 Update: One picnic table have been added to the property.

Cleanliness

96% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water Always keep an eye for unstable ground, holes, and if you are in the woods some of the smaller trees are weak and may break if you apply too much pressure on them. Important Note: Behind the barn, there is a spot at the edge of the pond that was treated by the previous owner(s) as a private garbage dump. We have taken great care in our efforts to begin reconditioning the property and have already removed 4 large trailer loads of trash and 2 loads of scrap metal. There is one spot with a massive styrofoam block (have no idea what to do with this), and the spot behind the barn at the pond edge that still has some trash and a refrigerator in the water that we need to clear. We are waiting until the weather warms before we finish clearing the refrigerator and the remaining trash at the edge of the pond. Lastly, the drop from the top portion of what remains of the house to the lower portion of the foundation is substantial. Please exercise caution or refrain from looking around there especially if you have a young one with you.

Additional rules

Please do your best to pick up after your pup. This property is classified as a class-A wetland and dog poop that is left is harmful to the ecosystem. I also ask that you not let them do their business in the orchard area, this part of the grounds is being reconditioned first and while there are no sprays at this time, we may have to use a fungicide in the future. I will make a point to update the listing if I do. There are no trash cans for your use, pack out all your debris. It is important that you be respectful of the lock on the gate. I had a previous guest rip off the protective cover and leave the lock in a mud puddle. Please do not remove the protective weather cover and not leave it on the ground. I will be forced to shut down sniff spot from my property permanently if this happens again.

Birchwood Bliss

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

*due to some unforeseen circumstances Ive temporary blocked the calendar out. I will resolve soon. Welcome to Birchwood Bliss, a private Sniffspot located in the Birchwood neighborhood of Bellingham. This sunny, half-acre space is fully fenced (6–8 feet high perimeter with a few 4 ft. Interior areas, with a mix of wood, chain link, and metal) to keep dogs secure while they run, play, or simply enjoy some fresh air. Note: some of the fencing is made of 6” squares so a very very tiny dog may be a consideration. For your comfort, there’s a outdoor covered area with table and chairs, along with fresh water, single-use dog bowls, sanitizer, and dog waste bags provided. You can even throw the ball from the undercover area if itʻs raining. The property is designed to be easy, safe, and welcoming for both dogs and their humans. Enjoy a $5 dollar off first time guest promo code using code ‘bliss1111’. Parking is simple — just pull up to the left of the house in front of the gate. To open the gate, you can pull the latch or reach through. While the space feels private and peaceful, there are neighbors nearby and some audible dogs a couple of houses away, so I kindly ask that you help keep the experience calm and avoid barking matches. I’m often available and you can always message me through the app. Birchwood Bliss is meant to be a quiet retreat and safe play space, and I’m continuing to add little touches to make it even better. Your positive reviews, comments, and suggestions are always appreciated as I shape this into a win-win space for both people and pups. Aloha! Al

The Pacific Northwest Trail, a through-hike trail hundreds of miles long, runs directly through our property via the gravel road and allows you to go on hikes of virtually unlimited duration. Please note that the standing propane heater is NOT for Sniffspot users. Please also keep out of the tiny house - guests are NOT permitted to enter. Any usage or tampering with the heater or tiny house will result in a loss of future booking privileges. PLEASE do not allow your dog to play with the toys and tennis balls if they are known to destroy them. These are intended for the day camp dogs and I can't keep constantly replacing them out of pocket. The garbage can is to throw away poop only. Please also bring your own water.

Happy Dog Forest - 40 Private Acres

Unfenced
40 acres

This is 40 undeveloped, private wooded acres less than 15 minutes from Bellingham and 10 minutes from Mount Baker Highway. There is a long unpaved road to wander on as you adventure deeper into the property. We have several hundreds yards of walking paths and are working on trails through the forest. For now, the forest trails are very short, rustic and dead end in the summer. Enjoy nature’s agility course by wandering at your will. This is a natural property, not a groomed park. You will have privacy, quiet and solitude while your dogs run and explore. In the wet season, there is mud at a few low spots after the second clearing. This area turns into a stream during the rainy season and is inaccessible when there is mud. For Pack (more than 2) Pricing, message us for a bigger discount. Thank you for visiting Happy Dog Forest! If there is anything that needs our attention, please message so we can take care of it.

WEATHER ALERT: If you are checking the weather online check the Ferndale (98248) weather. The Bellingham weather stops at the Smith Road. My prevailing wind is from the South BUT I do get the cold NE wind from Canada. NOTE: This is an acreage area which formerly held dog events; barn hunt, earth dog, carting, rally, obedience, tracking and nose work. The off leash area was set up for the dogs to have a place to run and play safely away from the other dogs when not working. This is all sandy loam so no standing water even when it rains. There is a water faucet down by the smaller barn (west side). You are welcome to fill your dog's bowls. Just be sure you turn the water off after. I have put some folding chairs just inside the big door of the barn. You are welcome to use them. I have also put a shovel out there so you can fill in any holes your dog digs. It is important you put balls back in the crate, they do not do well under the mower (the mower doesn't like it either. Please fill in any large holes your dog digs, so my mower doesn't bog down in one. if you want a bit more room to run your dogs, you may close the 2 big gates and let your dog run in the "parking area". It is all fully fenced. Be aware, the big gate into the back pasture does have a gap under it. THE BACK PASTURE IS OFF LIMITS THERE IS LIVESTOCK BACK THERE!

Feel free to explore everything in front of you and to the left (north). There are several wide open grass spaces in the power line to play fetch or just let the dogs run and be dogs.

The hike is about 3.5 miles and 800 feet of elevation gain. I recommend booking at least 2 hours to complete. If you want to hang out and enjoy the views you may want to book more than 2 hours.

Cross the creek using the foot bridge and head through the forest. In about .3 miles you will come out into the powering line clearing. Feel free to explore everything in front of you and to the left (north). There are several wide open grass spaces in the power line to play fetch or just let the dogs run and be dogs. I will send you detailed instructions for the hike up the mountain upon request. This is a real hike and I recommend hiking attire. Please bring water for yourself and your dogs. The hike is about 3.5 miles and 800 feet of elevation gain. I recommend booking at least 2 hours to complete. If you want to hang out and enjoy the views you may want to book more than 2 hours.
