Dogs on property: “Joan of Barc” (Border Collie, female, spayed, up to date on vaccines) “Benny” (Great Pyrenees, male, neutered, up to date on vaccines) Our dogs are kept indoors during all guest visits and do not interact with visiting dogs. You may hear our Border Collie, Joan, bark when guests arrive. Both dogs are moved to an area away from the back windows during visits to ensure privacy and a calm experience for you and your pets.

We have two cats on the property. One is a retired barn cat who spends most of her time indoors or in the front yard, away from guest areas. She does not go out in the winter months. The other is strictly indoors and will not be seen during visits. Guests are strongly encouraged to keep visiting dogs in the backyard area or on a leash for safety and comfort. Because we live in a rural area, you may occasionally see neighbor cats, barn cats, or feral cats passing through the property or nearby, but encounters are rare.

Sometimes

Serendipity Woods is set well back from the road and offers a very private, secluded experience — you cannot see neighboring homes from the guest area. Occasionally, someone may walk along the road in front of the property. For that reason, we recommend keeping visiting dogs in the backyard area or on leash while outside, just as we do with our own dogs. There is no regular foot or vehicle traffic near the guest area, and guests can expect a quiet, peaceful visit.

Description

Welcome to Serendipity Woods, a peaceful 5-acre retreat in Leonard, Michigan — just 20 minutes from Rochester Hills and Oxford. This secluded Oakland County property offers a blend of open grassy areas, gentle hills, and wooded trails surrounded by about 50 acres of forest. It’s ideal for leashed walks, decompression time, or well-trained dogs under reliable voice or remote-collar control who enjoy nature and room to roam. You’ll have the property completely to yourself during your visit. Our own pets are kept indoors, ensuring a quiet and private experience. Relax on the covered porch, listen to the birds, and take in the fresh country air. In winter, guests love snow walks and playtime in the open meadow. --- 🗓️ ** Availability ** We are new to sniffspot and currently have operating hours of 11 - 3 pm Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday.

Beyond the treeline there’s a small lake on one side and wooded wetlands on the other. The lake is beyond the spot/property line. * Wildlife: deer and wild turkey are seen daily; you may also spot herons, raccoons, possums, squirrels, and songbirds. * Insects & plants: ticks and poison ivy may be present — please use normal outdoor precautions. * Parking: park near the barn, or by the carport in snowy conditions. Driveway and parking are gravel/dirt. * Water: a hose is available except during freezing months. * Guests must clean up after their dogs and stay within the backyard/play area for safety and comfort. 🔒 Security Cameras For safety, wildlife monitoring, and property protection, security cameras are located throughout Serendipity Woods, including the driveway, barn area, exterior of the house, and other outdoor points around the property. We also have indoor cameras inside our private residence, which are used for home security only and do not record or monitor any areas accessible to guests. Some cameras record both video and sound and may be triggered by motion activity. These are standard rural safety measures that help us stay aware of weather, wildlife, and property activity.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

The property features open grassy areas, gentle hills, and wooded sections. The ground can be soft or uneven in places, especially after rain or snow. Beyond our property line, there is a lake on one side and two small wooded wetland areas on others. These are well beyond the treeline and barely visible through the woods. Our five acres are surrounded by roughly 50 acres of forest, providing privacy and natural scenery. For safety, please keep dogs on leash or under close voice or remote-collar control to prevent wandering into adjacent woods. Local wildlife such as deer, wild turkey, birds, raccoons, and squirrels are frequently seen. Coyotes or foxes are occasionally heard or seen in the distance but are uncommon. Insects (including ticks) and seasonal plants such as poison ivy may be present — please use normal outdoor precautions for yourself and your pets.

🐕 **About the Host** Hi, I’m Iris! I live here at Serendipity Woods, a peaceful 5-acre property tucked away in Leonard, Michigan. I work from home full-time and love sharing this quiet little corner of nature with fellow dog lovers who want a safe, private space to explore. I’ve been a lifelong animal person — especially dogs and cats. Our two pups, Joan of Barc (a clever, vocal Border Collie) and Benny (our gentle Great Pyrenees), are both fixed, up to date on vaccines, and usually relaxing indoors during guest visits. When I’m not working or spending time outside with them, I love mid-century design, photography, and watching the wildlife that wanders through our woods — from deer and wild turkeys to herons and songbirds. Serendipity Woods is meant to be a calm, natural retreat for dogs and their people. I hope you and your pups enjoy it as much as we do! 🐾

The Nature Nook Dog Retreat - Shelby Township

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Almost a half an acre completely fenced-in yard (to the ground so even 5-lb dogs can’t escape) in a quiet neighborhood near 23 and Mound. Grass is kept short and natural. Never any poisonous pesticides or fertilizer used. All Natural! Seating and doggie pool available (request pool is emptied before leaving and not filled more than half or you can’t tip over to empty). No dogs in surrounding yards. Great for big and small dogs! Lots of trees and shrubbery to give you a private oasis. Please close the gate when leaving. Note: I bought my house with a large after one of my dogs was attacked at a dog park causing 2 surgeries and very expensive vet bills. Enjoy my yard with piece of mind.

Fully Fenced 3/4 Acre Super Private Yard Perfect For Running And Chasing Ball!

Fully Fenced
0.75 acres

I am delighted to have you and your dog(s) enjoy this fully fenced in 3/4 acre yard! There are long open areas where doggo can run full speed chasing a ball. There is a concrete wall on one side of the property, woods covering the back and most of the side, and a tall fence on the front side, which creates a very private space. Also included is poop bags, water, and a poop scooper. No pesticides are used on this property. There is also plenty of room for parking multiple vehicles in the driveways. FYI- Chain-link fence is not tied down to the ground between posts, so a smaller dog may be able to push through underneath the fence. If you do not clean up after your dog, you will be blocked, so please pay attention to your dog! I hope you enjoy your stay at the property!

Monarch Hills Farm Private Dog Trails With Lake View In Holly

Unfenced
59 acres

Enjoy a beautiful walk on a network of trails that traverse rolling hills in and out of the forest. At the back of the property, you will enjoy some of the best and most private scenery in Oakland County. As summer turns to fall there are a lot fewer bugs and beautiful color changes. Some trees are changing already. Please stay on the cleared paths on the West side and South portion of the property due to work being done on other sections. There are wooden arrow signs that help you navigate to the back of the property and back to the parking area. Thank you. (We are currently expanding and connecting the trails, as well as clearing the views to the lake and river, so watch for some nice additions in the future.)
