Location

Woodstock, Illinois

Description

FYI: A controlled burn was recently conducted in the back field because that area is state-owned. Our property remains open, including the full 16 acres available for your visit. Please just be mindful of the areas that do not belong to us. Come let your dog explore, play, and swim on our beautiful family farm. Our farm means the world to us, and we think you and your pup will love it too. Located on 16 acres in Bull Valley, Illinois, our property is doggy heaven for dogs that are trained to be off-leash. Take a walk, bring a frisbee or ball, or simply let your dog sniff and explore. Please note that our property is not fenced. It connects to a beautiful piece of state-owned land, but that land is not included in your rental. Your booking covers only our 16-acre property. If you choose to go beyond our property lines, please understand that we are not responsible for the state-owned land, as it is not part of our Sniffspot. We also have many farm animals on the property, so we ask that all guests be respectful of our land and animals. We take great pride in our farm and love sharing it, and we want to keep it beautiful for everyone. Entry into any barns or buildings is prohibited. Please remain in the back of the property, as we do live on-site and appreciate our privacy. This is a working farm, so you may occasionally see cars or people near the barns and lot as you arrive. If your dog is reactive, please keep them on a leash until you reach the back field. Also, please remember that this is a farm, not a park. The ground may be uneven in places, and there may be holes or other natural hazards caused by animals or farm activity. Please use caution, as we are not responsible for injuries related to the terrain.

Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Crystal Lake

We’ve got a nice, big 1/3-acre backyard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and play. There are a few trees for shade, and the trampoline, patio, and deck are set up so they don’t take away from the open space. It’s all fenced in with a private entrance — a great spot to relax or enjoy the outdoors.

Kevin's 0.75 Acre Fully Fenced Dog Park In Wauconda

Fully Fenced

0.75 acres

This back yard is fully fenced with driveway guest parking. There is a mix of both sun and shade, and a hose for water. The grass is treated for bugs in the spring and kept short through the summer. No people or dog distractions at my property, so the place is all yours to wander. I absolutely love making this space comfortable for dogs & owners to stretch their legs in peace. Let me know how you enjoy it!!

Dean Lane Play + Stay

Fully Fenced

🐾🐶A private, one-acre escape where your dog can run free—perfect for reactive pups who need space to relax! 🤎 Enjoy a fully fenced, open-concept acre of grassy space for your pup to run, sniff, and explore! Mature trees offer shade and a natural setting, perfect for off-leash play and zoomies. We’re happy to welcome reactive dogs—our own pup is reactive and does very well in this space. The private, secure yard allows many dogs to relax and enjoy themselves. Waste bags and a trash bin are provided for your convenience. Good to know: -Our corgi will be inside during visits (not visible or audible) -Some road noise from a nearby busier street (similar to a neighborhood walk) -Occasional, infrequent barking from friendly neighborhood dogs Best for: reactive dogs, high-energy pups, and dogs who love space to roam
