55Nice & secluded. The privacy offered here allowed my dogs to just enjoy themselves without a leash & they are easily stimulated. We loved it here! I would highly recommend this place to anyone with any kind of dog!!! Also, my dogs loved swimming in the water!!!
55Absolutely spectacular amount of room. The host gives good instructions on where things are through a text before you arrive. The creek and pond were the most fun. Just wear hiking shoes! The trek back there is noooo joke. Lol
55This spot is amazing! It's clean, beautiful, massive space. My dogs LOVED sniffing and exploring. We made it to the creek where they played in the water and cooled off. As the host stated the hike back up from the creek is no joke, it was hot out today, I had to take a couple breaks lol. But absolutely worth it and will be back! Huge thanks to the host for sharing their beautiful land.
55I stopped here in the middle of a long road trip to let my dogs stretch their legs. Everything about this spot is excellent -- great communication from the host, gorgeous views, well maintained trails. Lots of natural barriers to encourage dogs to stay close.
55Probably the best spot available! Host is very cool and accommodating. We traveled from Lexington, and had just as much fun as our pup!! The area is vast with tons of places to explore. There is a restroom area next to parking, and He keeps trails mowed so ticks are not a big deal. Can’t wait to go back!
55Amazing property! The dogs loved it. Will definitely be back.
55Absolutely beautiful! There’s definitely a hill down to the creek lol
55What a treasure this place is! I recently adopted a rescue Border Aussie who spent the first two years of her life inside a small house 24/7, only being let outside to potty on a leash. Understandably, she struggles with reactivity issues and easily is overaroused. Not only do I want to introduce her to the wonders of this beautiful world we live in, but getting out in nature to sniff and explore is one of the best ways to help her work through these issues. Just seeing her explore a creek for the very first time was a gift in itself! As for Handyland, Josh's communication was excellent, it was easy to find, and trails were mowed and VERY well marked. The entire experience was exceptional. I'm so, so thankful to Josh for sharing his little piece of paradise with us.
55Fantastic location! We spent two hours exploring the property with our four dogs. The creek was beautiful and Josh was very welcoming. The directions were helpful in finding where to park and explore. Thank you!
55Absolutely AMAZING!! Our golden thrived being off leash for a few hours. The trails were very well maintained and we were so relaxed sitting by the creek. 10/10 recommend - we’ll definitely be coming back!

Location

Owenton, Kentucky

Description

Soak up the vintage and rustic charm of Kentucky! We're nestled on top of a ridge with 200 acres of land you can explore while visiting. We have a pond and a large creek that runs right through our property. We have beautiful rolling hills that make for a great landscape to enjoy the sunrise or sunset. We're looking forward to hosting you.

Cleanliness

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

Hazards

There is a sportsman club about 10 miles from the farm. During fall time, you may hear gunshots in the distance, which may seem more amplified with the way our rolling hills are through this area. Don't be alarmed if you hear anything, as there is nothing to worry about while hiking our farm. Being in a rural area, other farmers may target practice from time to time, but the closest anyone would be in at least a mile or more. 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 Our creek isn't more than a few few deep but mostly about 1 foot deep. However, there are some pools that are deeper. When it rains, you can expect the creek to rise.
