Welcome to The Wildwood Retreat! Perched on a spacious mountain property, our spot offers the ultimate private escape for you and your pups. Enjoy a fully fenced backyard featuring a stunning gazebo with 2 comfortable leather couches/futons, optional netted or solid enclosures, a wrought iron chandelier, a portable sturdy Bluetooth speaker, a stocked fridge, and an attached secure dog run. Beyond the yard, explore 5 acres of open land, private trails leading toward a beautiful river/creek, a scenic farm view, and massive indigenous rock structures that act as a natural agility course. (Please note: While our main in-ground pool with a waterfall is currently undergoing tile and coping renovations, our alternative Splash Zone pool is open and ready for action!) 🏡 The Base Camp (Backyard & Amenities) Wind down before or after your hike in our fully fenced backyard. Kick back in the shade on the comfortable leather couches beneath the gazebo (equipped with optional netting or solid enclosures), crank up your favorite playlist on the portable sturdy Bluetooth speaker, charge your devices, and help yourself to a complimentary snack or drink while your dog cools down and rehydrates. (Check our complete amenities list—we’ve stocked just about everything you could possibly need!) EXTRAS The Splash Zone ($5): An interactive splash pad featuring an attached 1.5-foot deep pool (depth can be lowered). Towels are included, along with waterless bath products and wipe-downs. Located inside fenced in area next to gazebo. Full Dog Wash Station 🛀 ($5): Hose attachment with adjustable pressure settings, hot and cold running water, a baby pool for a comfortable bathing space, and a wide selection of dog shampoos (including Aveeno and Johnson & Johnson baby shampoos). We also provide a rubber grip-handle scrubbing brush, conditioner, ear wash, fresh-scent spritzers, a waterproof collar and tether setup for secure leash tie-down during baths, and an electric nail grinder equipped with a heavy-duty diamond drill bit that never dulls and features bi-directional rotation (spinning in both directions) for easy use. If your dog struggles with itchy paws, we also offer our homemade soothing paw rinse to help relieve irritation. Keeping Cool at The Wildwood Retreat ($3): A powerful 45-inch industrial Heat Buster fan to keep your furry friends comfortable. It features a heavy-duty OSHA safety grate and is placed securely behind the safety fence—completely out of reach for ultimate peace of mind while delivering a refreshing breeze. The Dog Run: A secure dog run attached directly to the fenced backyard for easy, seamless transitions. Human Comforts: Dedicated storage space for your gear and easy access to an indoor restroom if needed. On the House: A refrigerator/freezer right by the gazebo couch stocked with fresh water for pups and bottled water for humans (plus flavor packets). We also provide collapsible travel bowls, hands-free water bottle straps and hiking bags, portable phone chargers you can take on the trails, sunscreen (including individual La Roche-Posay facial sunscreens), bug zappers (upon request), citronella candles, lint rollers, and plenty of dog waste bags! 🥾 The Wildwood Trails & Natural Agility Course Ready to explore? Head into the woods for an authentic hiking adventure on our mountain property. Our trail system features: The River Trail: Make your way through the trees on an uphill trek out to a beautiful river—and enjoy an easy downhill cruise on your way back! Scenic Overlook: Follow the property line out to a stunning view overlooking a local farm and preserved woods. Nature’s Parkour: Boost your dog's agility! Our 5-acre property offers a landscape unlike anywhere else in the region. Forget flat woods—you get steep slopes, rocky outcrops, and massive, ancient boulders that create a unique, three-dimensional maze for your dog to explore. It’s nature’s own jungle gym, full of rocky secrets waiting to be discovered! 🐾 Dip Your Paws In! Got a pup who is a little unsure about water? Skip the high-pressure splashes! Our calm river area is the ideal spot for timid dogs to take things at their own pace. With a gentle, natural entry, they can safely dip their toes in, explore the water's edge, and build up their confidence completely stress-free. ⚠️ Important Host Notes Property Setup: There is a home and a family shop on the property, but your trail and yard time is entirely your own private escape! Footwear: Because our trails feature authentic, natural mountain terrain with dirt, steep slopes, and rocks, proper hiking shoes or sneakers are highly recommended. I need you to compact this into 1500 characters and get rid of all of the extras. Just write about the property as a hole because it’s for Rome not Sniffspot 🐶🐾.

Fond Fawn Farm 8 Acre Orchard Pond & Creek Doggie Nirvana

Welcome to our English countryside-esque dog walking area! Located near the amazing Catskills, in the Poconos. We are located 11 min from beautiful Calicoon NY, 14 min from Honesdale PA, 28 min from Narrowsburg NY, and many more wonderful vacation, recreation and restaurant spots along the Delaware river! We have nearly 8 acres of rewilded pasture with dog walking paths throughout that connect through miniature woodland paths (keep your eyes peeled during the summer months, we have raspberries, black raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, mint, and cattails on the paths to munch, and apples in fall, from over 100 year old heritage varieties! We just ask that you do not pick from the new baby orchard trees, they are individually fenced and easy to see). As well as natures treats throughout, we have a miniature maze in progress for little dogs & kids, a dip-able creek for dogs & humans, and a nice size pond that is swim friendly for dogs only (step in only friendly recommended for humans). These are the paths we walk our three dogs on, and we can attest to their love and enjoyment! There is a picnic table, electrical outlet and chairs by the pond, and sitting rocks by the creek near the bridge on most days the rewilding isn’t too wild. This is not fully fenced, but dogs that can be walked off leash are welcome to run. We are surrounded by a hill and guardrail on the road side, a creek on the back side with a neighboring property beyond that, and a hedge/manmade stream on the other, so it is good for trained dogs to leap around free in! Small dogs are welcome in our small fenced in area if needed to run around off leash and are not comfortable in the field off leash (just pick up after them especially in the garden). This is a rural area, but we rarely have wildlife sightings during the day due to our location on a main road, and our 3 dogs. Mostly bald eagles in spring. I’ve never heard of any issues because we have plenty of natural food sources for the eagles, but be cautious if you have a miniature breed loose in the field. Two of our 3 dogs are very well behaved nearly 10 year old lab collie mixes who love playing and run off leash. So if you want some play time for your pup, they would love to join! Our younger dog unfortunately is a stubborn Anatolian Shepherd who if loose would go looking for neighborhood chickens in lieu of playing, so she will wait her turn for after your visit no matter the request. This is a small starter orchard of heritage fruit, and our family home with children, so someone dog or human will be home most days. Please let us know if you would like to use the fenced in garden/yard area completely free of human activity, as well as the standard dog-free. We want to make sure your dogs time here suits their needs. For anyone with non-social dogs especially, we are happy to book when we are not home for your peace of mind, just let us know! We are always dog free from sight (but not always sound in the garden/yard area, but we do try.) Playtime with our dogs can be requested to wear out your pup (this can be provided human free as well, our dogs are call friendly even with strangers). Thank you and we hope you enjoy your time at Fond Fawn Farm!
