55Great sniff spot! I had my 2 frenchies in the small fenced in pasture and it was perfect. Nice, peaceful area.
55Very clean, well fenced and roomy! My dogs had so much fun!
55This was a really nice spot for us and Tanner Blu. We were in the larger paddock and that had a mixture of taller grass and short grass. It was secure enough for us, however if your dog likes to escape this paddock is not for you, you will want to be in one of the more secured areas. It's a working hobby farm so you will see or hear other animals, that adds to the charm. There's no shade so expect a tan and because of the nature of this area there are ticks. This is a gem and has lots of potential and it was ideal because Tanner got to sniff and run the way he loves to.

HOST REPORTS

Yes (Always)

Our property is home to a small herd of goats and a pony who live together and have access to our front dog zone. We will close the gate so they cant get into this space with your dog but they may come to investigate. We have a group of chickens who will be locked in the barn or coop during your visit but they may be visible when you enter. We have geese/ducks that will be closed into their coop. The geese are loud but harmless! We have resident barn cats who free range and cannot be locked up. They are smart and shy but we cannot guarantee that you or your dog might see one. We have many animals on the property so if your dog doesn’t like animals (or likes them too much 😉) this might not be the ideal space for them. We can certainly help guide you to the best areas to avoid a lot of visibility if you have concerns about this!

Location

Prior Lake, Minnesota

Description

Our Property Description: Our farm is located just 40 minutes south of Minneapolis in a gorgeous stretch of rural residences. This property is a hobby farm with many resident farm animals including chickens, ducks, geese, goats, barn cats and a pony. Your dogs will have plenty of animal smells to get their noses activated! We do see wildlife including many wild birds, rabbits, and an occasional deer. We have 8 acres total including about 5 acres of partially fenced and fully fenced pastures for our guest dogs! There is a kiddie pool we can set up upon request, we have some agility equiptment in the main fenced pasture/dog hang out spot that is free for you to use! We have seating for our two legged guests and toys that you can use for your pup! Important Property Facts: As this place is our home and a home for our animals we ask that guests please do not allow their dogs to harass our resident animals. We ask that guest dogs not be allowed to potty on anything man made (fences are the exception!). Don’t worry, there are dozens of trees and shrubs for plenty of potty spots! Because our cats free range the property we cannot guarantee your dog will not encounter a cat but the cats are dog savvy and generally shy around strangers. We have 2 fully enclosed fenced areas but our yards are not suitable (YET!) for dogs that are a flight risk as the main fences in our largest fully fenced pasture has had years of horses and goats leaning on the fence causing sagging in some spots down to about 2 1/2 feet in some areas. We do have a few bigger pieces of agility equipment in our personal yard which we ask guests not to use without permission. The large livestock gates do have slats that dogs can squeeze through as well. We are working at this time to create a solution for this! We do have one fence area with small mesh that would be suitable for smaller dogs. Please pick up after your dog. We know it can be hard in some of the tall grasses but we appreciate your effort to help keep our spaces as clean as possible for other guests! Also, our pastures are shared with horses for a few months out of the year. When horses are present manure will be present so we can help you avoid these areas if that is a concern! Lastly, we know we have a few Burrs around so if you spot any please let us know as we do try to pull them. We hope your dog loves our space as much as we do!

Cleanliness

Hazards

HOST NOTE

☀️🌻🕶️🐶🐾Welcome to Summer at Poppy’s! The prairie is in full bloom, the woods are covered and cool. No matter the season we can always promise excellent sniffs and adventure for your 4-legged friends no matter what! **Fostering a dog? Message for special discounts** This is our private residence.

There is a barbed-wire fence marking the property line around the property, however it is not fully-fenced. Your dog will need to know to stay close enough to you or respond to your calls. *Poop bags provided* 10% of all profit is donated to dog rescue organizations

Great spot with room to run, toys, some agility equipment, and seasonal plastic fur kid pool! Fully fenced: 1 side privacy fence, 2 sides chain link, and one side with the house and gate. Added FYIs: - Place bagged poop in the small garbage bin. 🗑️💩 - Please do not allow pups to dig or to enter the small separately fenced garden. 🌱🪏 - If you remember, it helps to throw "fetch" in lots of different directions to spread out the "wear and tear." IF something goes over the fence, do please just let us know (we will contact the neighbor)--**do not** physically step over the fence (it causes fence damage) 🏡 🤳🏻 - "Same day" bookings will probably have the bedtime and morning 💩 from my pups since I routinely only pick up after work during warm months. If you book 24+ hours in advance I can squeeze in an extra poo pickup before work. - *WINTER I pick up weekly, weather-permitting, so might NOT be a great spot for pups who eat poopsicles--you know who you are! 💩 ❄️ 🐶 🍨🍦 limited daylight and full time hospital work hours (I go to work and come home in the dark)
