🐾 McPeak Farm — 30 Acres of Private Hiking!

Welcome to McPeak Farm, a peaceful private country retreat where your pup can sniff, explore, roam, and just be a dog! 🌿🐕 Our home sits at the front of the property, where you’ll find everything you and your pup might need during your visit — fresh towels, sunscreen, drinks, snacks, and even treats for the pups! Pull in and park in the gravel to the right, and you can walk down the cleared tree line to our private trail toward the back of the property. Head up the knoll, and we have a cleared ATV trail on your left leading toward the creek, with plenty of natural space to explore along the way. Let your pup take their time sniffing every tree, wandering through the property, and enjoying all the sights and smells that come with country life. The trail becomes completely wooded so on a hot day, the temperature will drop making it a very enjoyable hike for you and your furry friend! No need to worry about muddy paws or your dog getting a little dirty — this is their adventure! 🐾 You may hear a dog barking in the distance, see birds flying overhead, or catch the occasional sounds of country life, but for the most part, you’ll enjoy peace, privacy, and pure country serenity. Whether you want to stop by for a quick hour of enrichment or spend half the day exploring, there’s room to make your visit your own. When you and your pup need a break, we also have a small fenced area attached to a covered porch where you can relax, cool down, enjoy a snack, and take a breather before heading back out. 🌳 What to Expect 🐾 Private country property to explore 🌿 Cleared walking trail toward the creek 🚗 Drive or walk down the trail 🐕 Plenty of natural smells and enrichment 💧 Towels available for muddy paws ☀️ Sunscreen and refreshments available 🦴 Treats for your pup 🏡 Covered porch with a fenced area for relaxing 🌾 Peaceful country surroundings Come for the sniffing.
