Description

Welcome to Acre Pond Homestead, a private 14-acre retreat where you and your dog can get away from it all and enjoy the outdoors together. Explore a wooded trail, roam approximately 3 acres of open meadow, or head to our 1-acre pond for a swim, splash, or game of fetch. With a mix of woods, open space, and water, there’s plenty for curious noses to discover and room for dogs to run and explore. Don't forget to grab an apple or pear from our fruit trees! 🌲 1-mile wooded walking trail 🌾 3 acres of open meadow 💦 1-acre swimming pond 🐾 14 private acres to explore 🦌 Peaceful, natural setting with abundant wildlife The property is unfenced, so dogs should have reliable recall or remain on a leash or long line. Because this is a natural property, guests may encounter uneven ground, mud, ticks, wildlife, branches, and other normal woodland conditions. Whether your dog loves hiking, swimming, sniffing through the meadow, or simply having some peaceful space away from busy public parks, Acre Pond Homestead offers a quiet country adventure for you to enjoy together.

My husband and I are the heart behind Acre Pond Homestead, where our love of nature, wildlife, and simple country living inspires everything we do. Our days are shared with Louie, Roxie, and KitKat, our three four-legged sidekicks who explore the trails, enjoy the pond, and remind us that life is better with muddy paws and a little fresh air. We’re so excited to share our little piece of the outdoors with you 🌿🐾

The Vista 518

Unfenced
28 acres

Welcome to The Vista, a 30-acre outdoor space, with 15 acres for dogs and owners to enjoy. The area includes three main sections: an open field, a pond, and hiking trails. While there are no visible animals or pets on the higher levels, neighbor dogs may occasionally be visible at a distance from the lower areas. Wildlife is active and may cross your path—please avoid interaction when possible. This is an unfenced, off-leash location, and we cannot be held liable for dogs who are escape artists! Our pond spans 20 feet across and over 20 feet deep, with an almost immediate drop-off when stepping in. The pond is spring-fed and stocked, so feel free to swim, fish, or float during your visit (anytime between June and November). There is no electricity or formal structure, but you are welcome to set up a tent or umbrella for shade. This is a carry in–carry out site, so please leave no trace behind, including your trash. For twice the fun with your furry friend, consider upgrading to camp overnight! A porta potty is onsite, but there is no water or electricity available. Please note that security video surveillance is in place for safety. **A kennel club uses the lower field on Wednesday nights and Saturdays 10-5. There WILL be dogs within view, at a distance, during these times**
