HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

We have heifers (young cows) that you may see from time to time. **IMPORTANT** IF THE HEIFERS ARE NEARBY PLEASE KEEP YOUR DOG LEASHED IF YOU THINK YOUR DOG WILL CHASE THEM!! We lease our property to a rancher who keeps his heifers out here and we are responsible for those heifers. They are shy and usually stay away but they do get curious when they see dogs but they will not harm them or you. More than likely you will not see any heifers on your walk. Again if you do, do not be scared because they are more afraid of you than you are of them:)

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

You may see someone driving up or down the driveway but not often. If you decide to walk up the driveway then you may see someone driving home or to work but if you decided to walk up the dirt road that goes up the hill then you will not see anyone. Occasionally I have a family member that splits wood across the driveway from where you park. I will let him know when my guests will be visiting so there won’t be any distractions.

Description

Hi this ranch is a beautiful private place to walk and hike with your dogs. I grew up out here and this ranch holds many wonderful memories for me and my family. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. *IMPORTANT* We have young cows out here that roam around freely. They will occasionally be in the area where you will be hiking. KEEP YOUR DOGS LEASHED IF THEY MAY CHASE THE HEIFERS! I also have this description shown in the potential hazards section of my spot. I also show in the potential hazards that there are a lot of ticks this time of year! April through July. Please be careful! Thank you 🙏

Cleanliness

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

Hazards

HOST NOTE

There are some uneven surfaces on the trails so please be careful hiking. During the summer months there will be ticks out here so please use tick prevention on your dogs. We have cows that roam free on this ranch. They may be curious about your dogs and may walk up to them but will run off if you approach them. They may also be curious about your car and may rub up against it 😳 You can park somewhere else if they are nearby.

Joined in October 2024

Hi my name is Karalee. I am a certified nurse assistant / rehab technician who specializes in caring for patients with many different conditions and needs and I love animals. I have a Pomeranian rescue from China. Her name is Freya. She’s my baby and I love giving her the love and life that she didn’t experience before I adopted her. I heard about SniffSpot and thought my ranch would be the perfect place to bring your dogs. It’s far from town, it’s beautiful, it’s private and far from neighbors. I do have one neighbor across the road that is also on a ranch. I hope you come out and visit my ranch and if you do I hope you enjoy the beauty of it and the privacy it gives.
