HOST REPORTS

Yes (Always)

Our dog, Sasha, is a Samoyed. She may bark, but usually quiets down briefly or for a while if she is petted and given some attention through petting or playing with, or if she is distracted with something else. Sasha likes playing with other dogs, especially any dog smaller than her, and she likes being around people. My dad’s dog, Wallus, is a mini American Eskimo. He will bark, and probably will only bark if he keeps a distance, and he probably will. It would be good to avoid him since he does have a history of biting us (always small bites, but still bites regardless). He is not allowed around our kids and stays in the basement because of his history. He does enjoy other dogs, but he is not into other people besides my dad. We do want to let the dogs out when we feel they may need to go out, but we’ll try to leave them mostly inside. Unless a guest wants a playmate, our Sasha would love to play!

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

The neighborhood is usually fairly quiet, but the house is in the busiest part of the neighborhood, and sometimes people can be heard. Anyone in the house may be outside working on any outdoor project or playing as we don’t want to restrict our kids from playing outside or us getting work done at any time, but we will do our best to not interfere with any guests that do visit.

Description

Enjoy a semi-private small residential park in our backyard! We provide a pooper scooper and trash can located by the short shed on the patio. You can also enjoy any of our backyard play equipment for you or anyone else (supervision is required for those not independent on playground equipment). We do want to make our backyard still available for us if we are home and want or need to work on some outdoor projects, if any of our kids want to play outside, or if our dog (Samoyed) or my dad’s dog (mini American Eskimo) need to go outside. We will do our best to leave you guys alone though, kids included, and hopefully the dogs won’t bark too much. (More dog friendly amenities may be added later if we see a good amount of people wanting to make reservations. We also plan to make the lawn nicer and hope to add more trees and maybe a flower garden to get some more nature.)

Additional rules

Because anyone in our household (young and old and pets too) could be in the backyard at any time, we only want to welcome dogs who do not have a history of any aggression (biting, grabbing, etc.). Our Samoyed will bark, but she is super friendly. She is used to strangers petting her, and she loves playing with smaller dogs than her, but she may play with any size dog too. My dad’s dog (mini American Eskimo), will bark but hopefully will just do that and walk away. He has bit us multiple times (it’s never a bad bite, but it’s still a bite…just FYI) If you keep your distance, it should be fine. He is not a dog for little kids, which is why he only stays in our basement. When my dad is not around, he usually leaves us alone inside. Outside, he may bark and occasionally may get a little closer out of curiosity perhaps, but otherwise, he mostly leaves us alone. Hope this is the same for anyone else in the yard too. He does like other dogs, just not other people.

Maplewood Farm Dog Retreat | 5-Acre Nature Escape

Fully Fenced
5 acres

Welcome to Maplewood Farm Dog Retreat -- a peaceful 5-acre nature escape in south Maplewood near Battle Creek, just minutes from I-94 & McKnight. This is still undeveloped farmland tucked into the suburbs, with rolling hills, mature trees, wooded trails, open field space, wildlife sightings and scents (ton of bunnies!), and a very different feel from a typical backyard spot. Dogs get room to run, sniff, explore, and decompress away from crowded dog parks. For history buffs, the property also has the only standing barn in Maplewood, built in 1896, still in its original form and in use. It’s also an escape for hoomans -- a quiet place to breathe, be alone with nature, bring family for a simple picnic, or just sit under the trees while your pup explores. Peaceful and private, but still only minutes from St. Paul. Think of it as a little respite from busy life. There’s even an apple tree, which adds to the old farm feel. You can book this spot two ways: Quick 30-min visits are great for dogs who just need to burn energy fast. Parking is right next to the gate into the main fenced play area, so it’s easy to get in, let your pup run, play fetch, do zoomies, and head out. For 30-min visits, please use the fenced play area only. Water play is not included, and I usually won’t come out to greet you so you can make the most of your time. For the full Maplewood Farm experience, I recommend booking 1-2 hours. That gives you time to enjoy the fenced play area plus a slower long-leash walk around the block-long property, full of wildlife scents, wooded trails, scenic views, open field space, nooks and crannies, and peaceful places to take in nature. The main fenced play area is approx. 60 ft x 100 ft and is great for off-leash play, fetch, zoomies, tug with the spring pole, and burning off energy. For longer visits, there is also a self-serve water-play area with a splash pad and overhead sprinkler/mister, plus a sprayer if you want to rinse or bathe your pup on the grass. For longer visits, a good route usually starts in the fenced area, then continues through the back gate into the wooded trail system. You can loop toward the house and barn (you may hear my dogs bark), continue through the mature forest trail, use the runner trolley system for semi-free roaming, then circle back toward the open field. Signs are posted to help guide you. Just outside the fenced area, I’ve added a cozy campfire seating area overlooking the dog park and much of the property. In summertime, I highly recommend booking around 7-9pm for a sunset and campfire experience. The seating area is partly shaded by trees, includes a clean hammock, and is a peaceful way to wind down the day with your best friend in the world. Evening guests who book 1.5+ hours are welcome to use the campfire area, with plenty of firewood, at no extra cost when conditions allow. This is a natural, dog-friendly space, not a suburban yard. Dogs are welcome to explore, climb on log and wood chip piles, chew or pull on tree branches, sniff around, dig in appropriate natural areas, and enjoy the property in whatever way feels safe and appropriate to you. I’m not precious about the landscape here, especially since the property may be developed next year. While it’s still open, I want our furry friends to have it and enjoy it. Foster dogs and dogs with physical or sensory challenges are welcome to visit for a steep discount -- I’d love for them to enjoy this space too, just message me before booking. Since I live and work on-site, the spot is open pretty much anytime, from early morning to late evening, so you can book around your dog’s energy level, the weather, or your own schedule. I’m also planning to add night lights soon, so sundown won’t be an issue (super undistracted)! As a dog lover and builder, I’m always improving the space and adding more dog-friendly features. I just opened this spot a couple of months ago and welcome your feedback! 🐾 🐾 Valeng and paw friends 🐾 🐾
