55It’s a good place, plenty of room to walk and sniff. Rosie seemed to enjoy herself, and that’s what mattered. Thanks!
55John and Jenny's place is great for a quick run about, lots of good sniffs, birds to track and the pond is great too. John...I owe you an apology tho ...I totally forgot to grab my purple poop baggie 😞😞😞 Sooooo sorry. Also, sorry for waking you and I hope you feel better soon. We'd love to book again if you can forgive me for forgetting the poop bag, please!
55John was very nice. My dogs loved sniffing around the pond It was a nice space.
55Nice spot
55My puppy had so much fun , lost of space definitely recommend
55I visited this Sniffspot with three German Shepards. The space was clean, safe, and completely closed in, which gave me peace of mind while my dogs ran around freely. The highlight is definitely the pond my dogs had the best time swimming, and cooling off. It’s rare to find a place where dogs can both play and swim without the stress of crowds or other off-leash dogs. Booking was easy, the property felt well-maintained, and there was plenty of room to play ball. My dogs came home happy and tired. If you’re looking for a safe, fun, and unique outing for your dog, this spot is perfect. We’ll definitely be back!
55Beautiful, clean spot with a large water feature. Host was friendly and responsive.
55Great spot my dogs enjoyed.
55Water was nice and inviting for the pup. Definitely enjoyable on a hot summer day. Really cool spot that you can’t see the road from anywhere in the yard. John was super nice about everything!
55Our second time here. Really private, and safe for the dogs. My 3 border collies love swimming here, and chasing frisbees in the field.

***AT THIS TIME WERE NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEW GUESTS, ONLY REPEAT GUESTS*** Our property is a dogs dream! We no longer have a dog of our own, but when our grand dog comes over, she has stated it feels like Disney world! We have 3 fully fenced acres perfect for exploring and chipmunk chasing and a pond perfect for swimming! BUT THE POND IS FOR DOGS ONLY! No areas are off limits other than our decks. Occasionally the neighbor dog is out to say hello with a bark but he is friendly and typically gets called inside after a quick hello. Our neighbors are very kind if you happen to see them as well, but again there is a fence between our neighbors!

Monarch Hills Farm Private Dog Trails With Lake View In Holly

Unfenced
59 acres

Enjoy a beautiful walk on a network of trails that traverse rolling hills in and out of the forest. At the back of the property, you will enjoy some of the best and most private scenery in Oakland County. As summer turns to fall there are a lot fewer bugs and beautiful color changes. Some trees are changing already. Please stay on the cleared paths on the West side and South portion of the property due to work being done on other sections. There are wooden arrow signs that help you navigate to the back of the property and back to the parking area. Thank you. (We are currently expanding and connecting the trails, as well as clearing the views to the lake and river, so watch for some nice additions in the future.)

This is a private residence with a very large backyard fenced in. We are set back from the road so once you are in our back yard it feels like you are 2 hours + north. In the summer we are often traveling with our children and dogs. We are blessed to have such a large piece of property in this area. Some amenities are available and we just added a small doggy pool for your pup to cool off (may not be large enough for big dogs). Our home is generally locked up but you are welcome to explore the yard and we have some heavily wooded trails and the very back of the property where often deer are seen that you may explore. Garden hose, electrical outlets and water dishes available on the backside of the house. We have 3 separate entry/exits along the gate. You are welcome to use any of them, just please close the gate upon leaving. Parking is open to the driveway or the yard. Be aware of a small shallow pond in the front yard. We do not use pesticides or fertilizers on the grass at all but we may use some in the flower beds only. Please clean up any dog messes and a trash can is provided. Feel free to enjoy the views, fire pit, and back deck. Thank you.
