55My 2 Shepherd mixes had a great time - nice spacious yard with water available. Great for large dogs. The entrance gate does have a gap and will also swing open if pushed. These were not issues for us, as my dogs were otherwise occupied. Lashay graciously accommodated our late arrival- nice people!
25I appreciate the use of someone’s yard to allow my dogs to run free. However there were some concerns that would keep me from booking again. The gate does not secure behind you. There is no latch and what is there just swivels around so I had to use a leash at the top and at the bottom to secure it so my dogs couldn’t push through. The clearance of the gate is a little high, where a small dog could easily escape. There are 2-3 gaps in the fence line at the bottom where a small dog, like one of mine, could easily escape if they wanted to. Also, if there are appointments for late evening, mine was 630 to 730, there should be lighting. It was pitch black by 6:40 and I couldn’t see anything at all so I had to use the flashlight on my phone to see the reflective trim on the harness. Another concern for small and medium sized dogs is the closed shed….the height from the ground is enough that a dog could crawl under there and potentially get stuck. Because it was stressful to keep an eye on both of my dogs with a phone light and worried they might get out, we left 30 minutes early. Again, I appreciate the use of the yard but it needs to be completely contained without ANY risk of escape or getting stuck.
55Me and my pups had a wonderful time.

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

“I do not own at dog at this property, but the neighbor next door does let their dog out to use the bathroom from time to time for just a few minutes, & they do share one section of the fence. But, she is harmless & ran up & down the fence forever with my pitbull in the past. No worries about any other dogs around.”

Flores Farmily- Explore private trails with your dogs!

Partially Fenced
2 acres

Completely fenced (except for the entrance) 2 private acres of trails and fun. Enjoy a grassy, shady area at the entrance for ball playing or relaxing. Then venture out on many short trails of varying terrain throughout the woods. Dogs can jump and play on the obstacle course (it is still in process but can be enjoyed as is). Easy parking by the entrance. Horses will be grazing nearby for a relaxing view. Let your pup gallop through the woods, leaping and bounding through and over the rocks for a fun adventure. Very close to Historic Watertown. An easy drive from I-40. Don't worry about getting lost, if you get confused, just follow the fence line trail to get back to the entrance.

Come visit our beautiful spot out in the historical Cumberland Homesteads! Set on 20 acres with a 1935 original homestead house, your fur babies will be able to run and play to their heart's content! This spot is very wide open and peaceful with beautiful scenery. During the summer months, feel free to pick blackberries that grow all along the backside of the field, either to take or enjoy during your stay; Great treat for your fur babies also ;) ! During the fall you will have an amazing view of the entire woodline trees changing colors, and in winter months enjoy the beautiful mountain view that is more visible as the trees start to lose their leaves! You can walk the entire field, explore, and enjoy the peace with your babies! The woods are part of the property, so if you'd like to explore and hike the woods, feel free! There is a small creek that runs through the woods that flows really well after a good rain. You may also see a few deer in the morning or evening! Feel free to set up your lawn chairs and just relax while your babies run wild!
