Location

Germantown, Maryland

Description

Dogs can run around 2.25 acres of fully fenced yard and green space, with a shallow creek in the back if they want to splash or cool down and explore some forest area. It's a low traffic neighborhood so good for reactive dogs (We've got one! He'll be away).

Cleanliness

98% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

This spot has a wooded area out back so has the usual forest area and creek hazards: some thorny bushes and brush exist, there are bugs may be ticks (recommend your dog be up to date on Frontline or other preventive), fallen branches. The water level in the creek is typically very low (few inches) unless there has been a recent storm. Mobility Note: there is a small trail to the area where we climb down into the creek. It's steep and we usually grab onto nearby branches if needed. ** There are no supports ** and if it's rained or snowed recently it may be slippery. If you're climbing up the far side of the creek we do have a rope securely attached to a tree that you can use as a support. Please navigate this carefully! Dogs seem to have zero issues going into and returning from the creek area, and can enter from multiple areas. Human ability varies. It is completely wooded in the back. We do have several large trees around the perimeter of the property and there are sometimes large fallen branches. Please also note that we have an open carport where we store items, including tools, behind our cars. We make best efforts to ensure materials (tools, soil amendments, other home materials) are stored safely.

Water safety notice

Extras

You are welcome to use our fire pit for a fun experience. We have plenty of wood for use - let us know if you prefer us to prep the fire pit so all you need to do is light it up, or if you're a build-the-fire-yourself type.

We have one dog and three cats, and have loved living in a home with a big yard. Happy to share so other dogs are able to race around and enjoy the space, including a creek.

Come let your dog romp around my historic home in my fenced acre back-yard. Sit in the tree swing or relax on the bench. Refreshing for dogs and humans! Home adjacent to Goshen Branch Stream Valley Park. Lots of open space and privacy. Help yourself to toys, poop dogs, and water for the dogs inside the smokehouse. Fresh water is put out frequently (as long as I'm in town). FREE doggie swimming pool Mondays through the Fridays in the summer months. My yard is best for dogs that are NOT reactive. I have neighbors who use their back yards and have pets and children!
