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

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.

I am a farm girl, who now lives in the urban world. Growing up on a dairy farm and spending hours of my day within the forests that surrounded the farm, I have a strong connection to being deep within the woods. Now as a business-women and mother, I long for those days again. My desire is to restore the property we have listed and make it a relaxing and restorative place to be for both my family and yours. I am an avid gardener and nature enthusiast.

Step into our fully fenced in dog park nestled in a beautiful forest full of cedars, maples, and many many ferns. The dogs will be so mentally engaged jumping over logs, dodging through ferns and playing with sticks galore. There is a path worn in around the perimeter of the zone, but feel free to romp where ever you please if you dare! There are poop bags and a bucket for these at the front gate. There is water in a blue 5 gallon jug and a dog bowl. Please note- the road through the property to reach sniff spot is gravel!
