Quiet Fenced Yard with Brook Access – Peaceful Dog Retreat

Welcome to our quiet, creekside dog spot! This is a peaceful, private fenced yard located right next to the beautiful Otter Brook—perfect for dogs (and owners) who enjoy nature and water. The fenced area is approximately 5,000 sq ft and offers plenty of room for sniffing, exploring, and play. Just outside the fence, you’ll find our brook, which guests are welcome to enjoy with leashed dogs—it’s a great spot for pups who love water! What’s included: * 4 ft tall fenced yard * Chairs + picnic table for relaxing * Water bowls * Dog toys * Poop scooper * Off-street parking (driveway) Important fencing notes (please read): The fencing is basic 4 ft wire fencing. It works well for most dogs, but: * It is not suitable for skilled jumpers * Very small dogs may be able to squeeze through in some areas (bottom/gate sides) * We strongly recommend doing a quick perimeter check upon arrival to ensure it’s a good fit for your dog Environment: * Quiet, peaceful setting with very little foot traffic * Located near a road, so some passing cars are visible/audible * Great for dogs who enjoy a calm, natural space * Occasional spotting of wildlife including birds, squirrels, turkey, and deer ⚠️ For safety, our tie-out line is not available for guest use

Water features are available through streams and small ponds at various locations in the woods, also along the lake there are some ponds, for those who want a longer adventure.
