45Very lovely property. Easy to get to. My pup enjoyed the creek. Very quiet and private.
55This place is a must if you have a young curious and active puppy. Plenty of room to explore and run
55This spot was amazing! Very well maintained back yard with easy access to creek! Even my older blind pup loved it!!! 10/10!
45Our GSD loved it! He loved the creek and kept getting zoomies. I will say, bring bug repellent spray. We went pretty early and I got bit. Also, we forgot his leash and collar but the host was great at replying as soon as I messaged her!
55Easy to find. Perfect directions and thought the property was great.
55What a fun time! Both our boys and us ended up in the creek! Hahaha! My boxer went on the far left side of the yard, and be careful, with the strong rains, the level was deep and current fast. My boxer jumped in despite the taller bank, and I had to jump in to "rescue" him. But after that, we went back in the water (in the front of the chairs) where the levels were a little more shallow. We all had a great time! We will be back! Thank you!!
55I recently visited this amazing spot with my dog, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The space was perfect for my furry friend to sniff around and play fetch. But the highlight of this place is undoubtedly the water! Located just behind their backyard, it offers a serene and private setting. The water was relatively clean, which was a pleasant surprise. Additionally, there was ample space for us to relax while my dog had a great time exploring. I would give this spot a 5-star rating without a doubt. I am already looking forward to my next visit.
55Great spot, my 3 schnauzers loved running around and playing in the creek! Will try and return again soon if available! Thank you!
55Beautiful place with room to run and a great creek for pups to play in!
55Very quiet and very well kept.

Description

Beautiful secluded property with a creek running through it. The backyard is about 1 acre with a big open field surrounded by large mature trees and a creek bordering the back side. Dogs must be trained not to run off as we do not have a fence. Old fence posts show the property lines. You can to take a dip in the creek with your dog to cool off on hot days. The water does flow so I wouldn't recommend it for really small dogs. The water is fairly shallow but can get high and flow fast after heavy rain. You will have to walk down a small hill to enter the creek. The weeds get high by the water but I have made 2 separate paths to enter the creek. Entering the creek is at your own risk. The creek is on the property line so the land across the creek is not part of the property so please do not go across the creek. If you do plan on going in the creek I recommend water shoes and a towel, it can get muddy by the water. And it can also get buggy, so you might want to bring bug spray as well. Feel free to move any of the chairs from the firepit to anywhere around the yard. Please clean up after your pup, garbage can is the green one by the garage. You can park on the left side of driveway by the RV and enter on the left side of the garage but it's a bit crowded over there so you may want to park on the right side by the brick walkway and enter the yard in between the house and the garage.

    Host replied: Yes I apologize it is deep right now!! Definitely come back when there hasn't been as much rain and it's a little more relaxing in there vs raging rapids haha
