Description

Welcome to our secluded 1.25-acre dog haven in the heart of the High Valley neighborhood of Issaquah, a perfect retreat for your furry friend to play and explore. Enclosed by cedar fencing and thick, natural vegetation, our property offers a safe and private off-leash experience for your dog to roam freely. Your adventure begins with a serene walk through the woods, leading you up the hill. The road less traveled ensures a quiet and peaceful journey to our secluded haven. Behind our home, you'll find an expansive wooded area ripe for exploration, extending the adventure into the lush surroundings of Squak Mountain State Park Natural Area. Here, a myriad of hiking trails await, serving as a natural extension of your dog’s off-leash escapade. Our terrain is rich with the rugged beauty of nature, featuring uneven ground with rocks and grass tufts—ideal for explorative paws. We recommend donning your best outdoor shoes for the climb, ensuring both you and your pup have a comfortable and safe visit. For moments of rest and relaxation, enjoy our front yard's picnic table, where you can sit back and marvel at the joy of your dog at play. Upon request, we’re delighted to set up a dog pool, adding a splash of fun to your dog’s day out. Parking is convenient on the gravel side of the street, from where you'll embark on foot to our secluded paradise. Our location, while easily accessible, feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle, offering a tranquil escape for dogs and owners alike. Join us for a day filled with exploration, relaxation, and endless fun for your furry family member. Our Sniffspot is more than just a dog park—it’s a nature retreat where your dog can truly be free.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

Please note, our natural terrain includes uneven ground with rocks and grass tufts, making navigation tricky in places. The property is on a hill, requiring a climb that can be challenging without the right footwear. We recommend sturdy, outdoor shoes for all our human visitors. While the area is securely fenced with cedar and bordered by thick vegetation, the terrain's wild nature means it's essential to keep a close eye on your pups to ensure they navigate safely. The proximity to Squak Mountain State Park Natural Area also means wildlife encounters are possible, so please be mindful and keep your dogs under control at all times

Hello, fellow dog lovers! I'm a passionate outdoor enthusiast and a devoted dog parent, living in the beautiful landscape of Issaquah. My love for nature and our furry friends has inspired me to open up my property to dogs who want to explore, play, and simply be dogs in their natural element. Growing up in the Midwest, I've always felt a deep connection to the outdoors. It's where I feel most at peace and alive. This connection has grown stronger over the years, especially when shared with the company of dogs.

Dog Nirvana in Maple Valley - 10 plus acres fully fenced!

Fully Fenced
10 acres

Dog Nirvana reservations can be made one week in advance on a rolling basis. In addition the spot is always closed all day Monday and Tuesday as well as Thursday from 9 to 1 for maintenance. Come enjoy yourself in the country! We have over 10 fully fenced acres that include two spring-fed private ponds for dogs that like the water, some slight hills for running and playing, lots of wide open space and a beautiful creek. There will be no dogs, people or animals outside on my property during your visit. Please just bring your own toys and pick up after your dogs. I look forward to welcoming you! * The entire 10+ acre perimeter of the property is steel mesh fencing with poles and/or steel mesh fencing in horse fencing to keep the entire perimeter secure and safe. PLEASE NOTE there are TWO FENCING SYSTEMS here -- the internal pastures that are fenced in 3 rail white fencing and the perimeter fencing which consists of steel mesh to the ground and large log poles and/or 3 rail fencing with steel mesh down to the ground. The pasture fencing is located INSIDE of the separate property perimeter fencing. If a dog runs under the white interior pasture fencing they are still secured within the perimeter system. * The front gate and a service gate are metal with horizontal rails with 6.5 inches between each rail. Smaller dogs could potentially get out through the rails. A picture of the gate is included in listing photos so that guests can assess whether the gate will be an issue for them so they can determine whether this property will be appropriate for their pup(s). * This property is pretty secluded. Two sides of the property are surrounded by conservation land (woods), one by a quiet neighborhood road (with the only house set back and not visible while on my property) and the fourth (above the house and barn) by 60 acres in two parcels. The neighbors ' horses might be seen in the distance along the upper side of my property and you might hear their dogs barking from several acres away periodically. * Several pastures have covered horse sheds in them that can be used by visitors for shelter from rain or sun. * There is a dog dish for water, a container of water, poop bags and several garbage cans for doggie poop bags! * If you bring additional guests with pups PLEASE make sure they are aware of all information/rules shared in the listing and via message by the host. * Carey Creek runs along the entire south side of the lowest pasture. It is fully useable for guests. it is on my property but outside of our secure fences so if you go out the gates at the bottom of the property to get to the creek you should leash up if your dog has poor recall. * We have access across the road from the property to 1800 + acres with 30 miles of trails on Taylor Mountain (King County Park) so make it a day and come enjoy our little slice of heaven!

Magical Mossy Forest

Unfenced
5 acres

Magical Mossy Forest Sniffspot is a large mystical woodland adventure for dogs in Redmond on the way to Carnation. Boots are recommended in the winter rain. MMF is preferred by puppies, dogs, people, adults and kids alike because it has potable water, power, picnic tables, chairs, several firepits, lit portapotties, 3 swing sets, 3 slides, monkey bars, 3 Forts, a log bridge to cross over Little Ames Creek for when the creek is flowing, a doggy playground, lots of picturesque moss, lighted parking lot, woodchip trails and many footpaths over 5 forested moss covered acres. Parking is near the road, separated by 50 ft of woods, so we suggest that all our doggy friends be leashed until they are on the trails with you. Please leash your dog until into the forest away from the parking area, after that Bob's Your Uncle! Watch kids and dogs in the parking area near the road, and at Ames Creek. A secluded place to dork out and have fun, enjoying a natural Pacific rainforest. Note that the creek is dry in midsummer until the fall and winter rains kick in. Boots are recommended in the fall and winter. Find a map of the main trails in a photo on our MMF Sniffspot site. There are lots of foot trails through the understory ferns. The log bridge can be used to cross Ames Creek, or you can ford it to discover the rest of Magical Mossy Forest Sniffspot. Please pack out doggy bags with you because there is no garbage pickup here, please leave no trace. If there is a downpour and you want to wait it out there is a dry shed in the parking area. Access to power helps keep your batteries charged. Please carry your toilet paper (sorry it walks away). The portapotties are cleaned once a week. Please visit our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555379018442 Let us know if you have any questions. Synchronized play bowing to you!
