Description

Tucked back off the road is a not so boring field and little wooded area with a creek running through. We saw the magic in it when we bought it in 2024 and decided we wanted to share it with others in 2025. We hope you love it as much as we do 🐶❤️

Cleanliness

99% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

It is a wilder area, the field may have some mole holes and is not level. There are blackberry brambles that we cut back but they still grow. With rain, there is water in the low areas of the field. The forested area is definitely a wilder area with a trail along the creek. Please be smart about footwear and stay on the cleared side of the creek. Thank you!
