Description

Hey dogs and their humans… It’s time to come play at Sammy’s Playground, a private dog park for just you and your pups (there will not be any other dogs present during your visit). There’s lots to do for each and every one of you. With the entire 0.5-acre backyard fully enclosed by a new’ish and secure chain-link fence (Fall 2022), your pups are free to safely roam, sniff, fetch and run to their hearts’ delight. And, wow… you are surely going to love watching them go!! Zoom-Zoom. Pool… Yup, we have a pool! Is your pup a swimmer? Or a swimmer wanna be? Our pool is the perfect spot to splish-splash away! Our website provides all the details, as an Extra, with plenty of photos showing what to expect, which includes towels and life vests. NOTE: pool use is an Extra flat fee, as listed in the Extras section. Consider this added cost when booking for your visit. The areas along the perimeter of the yard are wooded and make for fun pathways for explorations. There are twigs and branches as you would expect in a woody area. The central portion of the yard is sloped and open. This makes for plenty of romping and heavy-duty running- including long throws of a ball or a frisbee. We have tennis balls & a tennis ball thrower. Check out all of the photos and read the accompanying descriptions to get a better idea of how Sammy’s Playground will appeal to you and your furry friends!! And don’t worry about the yard (too much). There’s divots and mounds all around, no manicured lawns when dogs are at play. Go for it guys… Enjoy!! And, during off-season, the pool cover is elephant and dog proof. The dogs are allowed on the pool cover. It’s our hope that we do our absolute best to provide our Guests with the best experience each time they come over AND that our Guests remain as great as each have been - that we can continue to avoid any reason to raise our hourly rate. SniffSpot suggests we list Sammy’s Playground at $20/hour. We are uncomfortable with doing this, because it goes against the spirit of our objective for Sammy’s Playground in the first place: providing a safe and secure environment for dogs of all kinds to enjoy off-leash “true-dog” experiences with their loving humans. Barking IS allowed. (Be mindful of excessive barking for our continued peace with our neighbors though) 🐾 We accept donations of dog food, p-pads and medications for the all-dog rescue organization, PAWS New England. PawsNewEngland.com is where you can find information about fostering, donating, adopting or other ways to support this amazing group. They save over 1,000 dogs per year. ——- NOTE: to open the gate, simply reach over the top to find the key. Twist/turn the key until it stops. Then, lift the knob on top of the gate and push the gate open… you’re in! The gate automatically closes behind you. Please confirm that it has engaged into the closed position and then turn the key to lock yourself in. DO NOT REMOVE THE KEY. Confirm that you have locked yourself in by seeing the little red dot and not being able to lift the knob. The photos section includes views of the gate, key and lock. MUST: when you leave, lock the gate. Doubly ensure that you have done so by lifting the knob. Upon leaving, leave the spot as you found it. Folks with multiple dogs should do a walk-about around the yard to ensure that all dog poop has been cleaned up. Toys, for staged toys, you can leave as is. Otherwise, we ask that all other toys and such are put away. We appreciate your efforts!!

Hazards

HOST NOTE

FENCE: The new fence (Fall 2022) is primarily 4 feet tall and chain-link. The gates at the Main and a side entrance are aluminum rods with ~4 inch spacing. This makes Sammy’s Playground not safe for dogs about 15 lbs or less. FENCE: There is no separate fence around the pool. Upon entering Sammy’s Playground, the pool is readily accessible. We provide many sizes of doggie life vests YARD: The yard is for dogs and is not manicured. It is, after all, a yard for dogs. There are divots, ruts and small holes throughout the far back to which folks and pooches alike should be careful. TICKS: Ticks are prevalent year round and seem to be worsening year after year. We do not treat the yard with chemicals of any kind. Tick repellent sprays are provided. DECK: morning dew makes the deck surface quite slippery. DECK: The back of the deck has a big step down. SHED: The main wood shed door should be closed. If found open, don’t let your dog(s) enter. There’s fertilizer and other lawn-care products in there. We apologize profusely if that door was left open. GATES: MUST ALWAYS BE CLOSED and LOCKED - It is extremely important that folks pay close and strict attention to ensuring that the gates are indeed CLOSED and LOCKED. Do not remove the key. OFF-SEASON (October to May): POOL IS CLOSED with a cover that can sustain the weight of an elephant AND dogs. The dogs can go onto the pool cover without any issues or concerns. As Spring approaches, the water level rises to sometimes overflowing. Please know that when dogs walk on the pool cover in the Spring, the cover will sink about to the chest height of your dog and your dog will get wet! Every human said that it was a great experience for their dog. We provide towels. (Photos are included)

Additional rules

Park by Main Gate in FRONT of the garage door for easy access. (We do not park in the garage). Photos show fence entry The most significant rule to follow is common sense. But, it is also expected that Guests will be respectful of our land and property, and that of our neighbors,’ and fellow Guests - keep all 4 gates locked at all times, especially when you are in the backyard. Do not remove the key. Make doubly sure that you locked the gate when you leave by pulling the knob up. - toss dog waste into the “Poop Bank” bucket. We provide the poop bags, and dog shovels and rakes too - leave the property as you found it (return furniture to original places, put the toys away, hang wet towels and life vests, put trash in “Poop Bank,” for instance) - do your best to protect the summer furniture, especially the cushions, from getting dirty (use any towel) - report any damages or concerns. You will find that we are pretty easygoing and don’t get hung up on the little things. It’s more important that we know of a mishap or if something that is broken so that we know it needs to be fixed. Thank you

Hi, we’re Sherri and David… married for 36 years now and still going strong. We raised our two sons here, Justin and Mitch, and have had the pleasure to supplement our family with countless dogs and cats, and even a couple of indoor bunnies and a tortoise. We mostly adopt senior dogs, but this time we fell in love with an adult dog (now 7 years old). He is a big black lab/German Shepherd mix named Sammy (he’s a rescue from Texas, our 5th); hence, we named this Sniffspot “Sammy’s Playground” after him. Sammy’s unpredictable behavioral issues make him a poor candidate for any public playground. It’s for this reason that we created this private playground - so that dogs like Sammy can enjoy a safe and secure place to play, zoom, SWIM and sniff. It’s why we offer the play space for the affordable rate, because we are sensitive to folks having dogs like our Sammy. Thank you for considering Sammy’s Playground - where your dogs will think you’re pawsome! 🐾 *** As an aside, our volunteer work focuses on desperately seeking donations of dog / puppy food of all kinds for PAWS New England, a large, all-dog rescue organization, a 501(c)3. We will happily accept any donations from you on their behalf. PawsNewEngland.com - always looking for fosters and volunteers, donators and those who want to adopt!!

Krystal's 11 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Mapleville

Unfenced

11 acres

Looking for the perfect escape with your furry companion? Our 11-acre property offers the ideal setting for you and your dogs to explore, unwind, and enjoy the great outdoors. Surrounded by scenic views and wide-open spaces, it’s a natural haven for adventurous pups and their humans alike. Winding trails weave through the land, providing plenty of room to roam. Most guests spend about an hour here—walking the 20–30 minute trail loops and then relaxing by the water or letting their dogs play. It’s a great way to enjoy fresh air, peaceful nature, and some quality time with your four-legged friend. We’re always working to enhance the experience, and we plan to add even more trail options this summer—so there will be more to discover on your next visit! A few quick notes: the trails can get muddy during rainy or winter months, so we recommend wearing boots. The pond is not maintained, and guests who choose to enter the water do so at their own risk. We’re also continuing to mark property lines and add signage to help everyone feel comfortable and informed during their visit.
