Distractions seen/heard from the spot

Other dogsSometimes

Other dogs

Sometimes

There is a dog that lives on another ranch across the road. He usually stays in his yard. His name is Bruno and he is very friendly. You may see the dog if you decide to walk down the hill at the beginning of the driveway and he has at times ran across the road if he sees you. I have notified the owners many times to keep him tied up for two reasons #1 he doesn’t get hit by a car going across the road but also #2 he doesn’t disturb my guests. It doesn’t seem to be working so therefore my guests usually go the other way. You will hear barking in the distance. Don’t worry the dogs are tied up and far from where you will be.

Other domestic animals

Sometimes

We have heifers (young cows) that you may see from time to time. They are shy and usually stay away but they do get curious when they see dogs but they will not harm them or you. So no worries! More than likely you will not see any heifers on your walk. Again if you do, do not be scared because they are more afraid of you than you are of them:)

Sometimes

You may see someone driving up or down the driveway but not often. If you decide to walk up the driveway then you may see someone driving home or to work but if you decided to walk up the dirt road that goes up the hill then you will not see anyone. Occasionally I have a family member that splits wood across the driveway from where you park. I will let him know when my guests will be visiting so there won’t be any distractions.

Description

Hi this ranch is a beautiful private place to walk and hike with your dogs. I grew up out here, moved away then moved back a few years ago. This ranch holds many wonderful memories for me and my family. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

There are uneven surfaces on the trails so please be careful hiking. If you see heifers/ cows nearby where you park then you should probably park at the beginning of the driveway before driving over the cattle guard. Then you can walk up the driveway from there until you get to the area where you can start your hike. Sometimes the heifers if they see your car may walk up to it and rub up against it. They might lick your car and windows too. I know that sounds weird but that’s what they do. Your car could possibly get scratched as well. I’m sorry about this but this is something that cannot be avoided. The heifers / cows roam free out here because we lease our property to a rancher. If they are anywhere nearby I’ll show you where to park away from them.

Hello! I’m so happy you are booking my spot. I hope you enjoy it out here! This is a beautiful ranch to bring your dogs! **You may see people occasionally driving up or down the driveway. We have tenants that live out here but where they live isn’t close to where you will be walking your dogs. You may hear dogs barking in the distance. Don’t worry they are no where near where you will be hiking and walking your precious dogs😊 You may also see heifers(young cows) here and there. Don’t worry they are curious but they will run away from you if you approach them. Please keep your dogs leashed if you think they will chase the heifers. Thank you 🙏 Occasionally you may see a family member walking their dog up the driveway. That is vary rare but has happened. I will notify family to let them know I will have guests out here.

Hi my name is Karalee. I am a certified nurse assistant / rehab technician who specializes in caring for patients with many different conditions and needs and I love animals. I have a Pomeranian rescue from China. Her name is Freya. She’s my baby and I love giving her the love and life that she didn’t experience before I adopted her. I heard about SniffSpot and thought my ranch would be the perfect place to bring your dogs. It’s far from town, it’s beautiful, it’s private and far from neighbors. I do have one neighbor across the road that is also on a ranch. I hope you come out and visit my ranch and if you do I hope you enjoy the beauty of it and the privacy it gives.

The Gulch Pool

Fully Fenced

Welcome to our dog pool! Yup, that’s right, we designed this pool specifically for dogs!!!! We have 3 large benches that accommodate dogs of all sizes (some benches are more shallow/deeper than others), plus a step that goes all the way around the pool for dogs to walk on. In addition to that, we have a step in the deep end that makes it easy for the dogs to get in and out of the pool! We also have bubblers inside of the pool (the dogs go crazy over these) and then outside of the pool we have fountains that shoot into the pool! This is literally a dream pool for dogs and dog owners! The pool is surrounded by artificial turf and a gorgeous view! We can’t wait for you to check out our pool! Please note, this spot is right next to our home, we too have dogs and they can be seen through our windows!

Fully Fenced, Peaceful, Beautiful Dog Park

Fully Fenced
3 acres

A beautiful fenced-in 3+ acre parcel with hills, a few trees, areas of short and tall grass. Dogs absolutely love it here. Occasionally we’ll see wild turkeys and a few deer (and a gopher or squirrel here and there) but otherwise a dog roaming paradise. Easy to pull in and park (near the empty barn) and there are several shady spots around property. I have dog bowls, a few toys, emergency poop bags, and a washing station. Cell reception is fine here.
