Hard Struggle Homestead

You may enter via the mid-driveway gate accessed from the driveway or the LOWER porch gate accessed from the sidewalk. (Do not use the upper porch gate via the ramp because it does not always latch securely and could blow open.) Feel free to use the balls in the yard! You may invite our dogs to play! Nala is 30lbs and will be shy at first but loves to run and play with other dogs. Duke is 9lbs and will only play with small dogs and will just bark at everyone else lol. Message me if your dog would like a playmate! There is a water spigot the porch near the gate, and there should be a bowl on the porch as well (it’s not under/near the spigot it may have been moved by the wind. It should be nearby!) Thank you so much for enjoying our yard!

We have a 30 acre tree farm located at the base of Sugarloaf Mt., away from roads, houses and people. Very secluded, with a 1/2 acre spring fed pond for swimming as well as groomed trails for sniffing and training. We are also a Lab Rescue foster family for young puppies and help train for their next foster homes. Our place can also accommodate for upland and waterfowl training. We are as well associated with Buckeystown, Poolsville and Peachtree Veterinary hospitals.

This is currently an unused horse paddock on our property.

We have 10 mostly wooded acres on the side of Braddock Mountain at the end of a private road. There are also some open grassy areas around the house. There is an unmaintained trail through the woods just beyond the driveway (we’ll be adding signage soon). PLEASE NOTE: The property overall is on a hill so it is best for those looking for a little more adventure. There is also a full wrap around deck with patio furniture, hammock, plants, and an umbrella that is available for you to use. We do not have any pets but you may occasionally see wildlife in the woods. If you need Wifi during your visit, please let us know and we can provide the password. Additionally, there is a water spigot under the deck between the garage and sliding glass door that is available if you need. Please contact us if you have any unique needs or requests for your visit that are not addressed in the listing or site FAQs. Thanks!

Come visit for a special price of 10.00/hr per dog (additional dogs discounted) *** Large open, fenced-in backyard in a quiet neighborhood. There is lots of space for your dog(s) to run, and ample room to play fetch. There is plenty of outdoor seating to relax while you watch your dog(s) play and explore. The back right corner of the yard has a play area with a playhouse, caterpillar tunnel, tire tunnel, climbing cube, swing, and hammock. We also have a bunch of dog toys out. Part of our yard is shady and part is sunny. You get the best of both worlds. The pool is completely fenced off from the rest off the yard. You don’t have to worry about your dog(s) accidentally falling in. Our yard is handicap accessible. There are no stairs to climb. The entrance to the backyard is a flat grassy area. The gate leading to the back yard is wide enough for a wheelchair or power chair. The yard has a slight incline, but there are no major obstacles that would prevent a wheelchair from moving around. We are located in Sykesville, MD which is about 30 mins from Baltimore and Columbia. 15 minutes from Owings Mills, Ellicott City, and Westminster.

Great space with new fence for your dog’s recreation. Inside parking spaces for your convenience. Toy for the dogs, canopy and furniture for guests. Beautiful lights for you to stay longer at night.
