55Very nice spot. My three pits really enjoyed their visit. The birds were an extra treat. We'll be back!
55Perfect yard to run off energy. Safe, fully fenced and clean. Will definitely be back!
55We had a great time at this Sniffspot! The yard is fully fenced and secure. There was a large bowl of water and even a basket with some treats and toys. Our dogs loved running along the big backyard and sniffing all the smells. The yard was clean and well maintained. Thank you!
55Excellent environment. The backyard you always wanted to have.
55Gorgeous property, quiet, very zen. Dog had a blast. Was safe and fun for them!
55We loved visiting! Very peaceful and quiet yard. The host left little treats for our dog and a ball to play with which was very helpful since we forgot ours. There was a hose available for filling our dog bowl with fresh water and a baby pool for water play. Our dog had a great tome.
55Cayman had a wonderful time. The space is beautiful with tons of shade and interesting sniffing things. Thank you! We will come again.
55Our dogs had a blast playing and sniffing in the yard, and cooling off in the kiddie pool! The hosts were so kind to put out toy options and towels to help with our wet pups. We would definitely book again!

Historic and scenic property with natural barriers

Unfenced
4.5 acres

I own 11+ acres in West Chester (bordering Downingtown), although I’m currently offering access to the 4.5 acres that is not fully forested. The side of the property you’ll be enjoying has the mill which was built in the 1760s and converted into a home in the 1970s. This strip of land is bordered by a creek on the one side, and a millrace on the other. The millrace is where the water used to run when the mill was operating many moons ago. Both the creek and millrace have water, although the creek has proven to be much more alluring to visiting dogs. Both serve as natural barriers on either side of the property. The deepest area in the creek is approximately 8ft. There are chairs there for you to sit and enjoy the view while your dog swims in the water. There is another, more private area, where your dog can get easy access to the creek water. I call this the “money spot” because there is easy access to and from the creek for dogs and humans. There are steep embankments for both the creek and the millrace so it would be an effort for your dog to cross them to “escape.” At the end of my 4.5 acre property, the land comes to a peninsula where the millrace and creek meet to become one body of water. This peninsula serves as a natural barrier although my friend’s young German Shepherd did jump out into this water and after a deer on one frightful day. Fortunately, we got him home/back but I think it’s prudent for me to disclose this harrowing event for the safety of your fur baby. There is an outdoor stone patio where you and your pup(s) can relax in the shade. Here you’ll find a filled water dish for your pup(s) to enjoy and a trashcan for your dog waste. If past dog visitors are any indication of future visits, your pup(s) will likely be thirsty from all the exploring, good smells and open land to run and play. I have one of those tennis ball throwing devices that help you throw a ball super far that you’re welcome to use too. There are two dog leads on the property you’re welcome to use for training etc. One is ~50ft and the other is nearly 100 ft long. They both attached to trees and can handle the weight/pull of large dogs. I ask that you don’t encourage your pup(s) to chase after the wildlife here, not just for their sake, but for the safety of your pup(s) too. I think the hawks might have put a dent in the small wildlife around here. You won’t see many small animals like squirrels or bunnies, although you are likely to see deer. If your dog is a young/strong “chaser” you might want to visit with a leash. You’ll also find less snuggly wildlife here like snakes and ticks. I ask that you use your best judgement in supervising your dog(s) and be sure to check them for ticks before leaving. Of course at your first visit, I’ll give you a tour of the layout with your dog leashed to ensure your comfortability with the space. I’d ask you to kindly replace the raft(s) in the creek should your visit cause it to pop.

We would love to share our back yard with your pups! Our dogs are older now but our back yard has plenty of life left in it! Our back fence backs up to the beautiful Ridley Lake which has a great walking trail around it as well. It’s especially beautiful in the fall months! While we do keep the fence locked in the back, the lake is fully accessible if you park on the street, it’s a short walk through a grassy area to enjoy the trail and views. Stay tuned for play date and birthday party packages!!

Our spot is completely secluded and hidden from the road, backing up to beautiful, quiet woods for a truly peaceful retreat. Large Open Backyard: We have a massive, open yard perfect for fetching, sniffing, and burning off energy. Please note: The main yard is not fenced, making it ideal for dogs with good recall or those using long training lines. Dog & Human Friendly Pool: Want to cool off? We have an awesome pool that both dogs and humans are welcome to swim! We ask that 1 human/dog in the pool unless other arrangements are made with us prior to your visit. For everyone's peace of mind, the pool area is fully fenced. The remainder of the back yard is not fenced in, but is accessible for well-trained dogs with recall.
