Sometimes

We will keep out of your way or will not be home. Neighborhood is generally quiet, neighbors on either side usually aren’t outside much, and neighbors behind us have kids and a dog (invisible fence), but we’re separated not only by the fence but trees and shrubs, so there aren’t likely any interactions.

Location

Lakeville, Minnesota

Description

0.4 acres fully fenced in and private. Have your pup chase a frisbee or ball and run up and down the hill. It’s tiring! 😅 Winter: We have a hill that will challenge and tire your pup up running through the snow! ❄️ Toys, trash, and water bowl are available (no water after hose is winterized) Spring: I will block off days when the yard is too wet, as it takes a while for it to dry after a heavy rainfall or quick snow melt due to the hill. Summer/Late Spring/Early Fall: We have a few chairs 🪑 on the deck and umbrella ☂️ as well as a water bowl 💧 and hose if your pup needs water or to cool off.

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.
