35We had to leave early as my dog was stressed by their dogs barking. Also could see a couple of people taking their dogs for a walk through the fence. This visibility wasn't a huge deal for my dog since there was distance, but may not be the same for others.
45Great spot, easy entrance and well fenced. Small space perfect for dog whos getting older and cant run as much and would prefer lots of things to sniff. 1 star taken off only because there were a few old poops that we had to avoid stepping in, and could use some more upright seating. Thanks!
55Great spot! Excellent host, kind responsive and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

Description

Hi! We are happy to share our yard with other dog owners in the area who are looking to give their dogs some responsible, safe, off-leash time. I know what it’s like to have a need for your dogs to be off leash, happily running free, but in a space without other, unknown dogs (or people)! Sometimes you’ve got a reactive pup, a dog who is in training, or just an elderly pup looking to gently romp. We are an animal loving family who wants your pup to have whatever they need to be happy and healthy and for you to enjoy their company. We’ve got a fully fenced in space for you to enjoy with your dog(s). One side of the space is our house exterior wall, two sides are 6 foot vinyl fencing with no visual distractions and one side is made up of 6 foot metal dog kennel panels which look out onto the rest of our family yard. There’s a hammock, and patio furniture that you are welcome to use. Sunscreen and bug spray provided as well. We also have a trash bin, pooper scooper, pick up bags, and hand sanitiser on hand to keep everything clean and tidy. Please feel free to be in touch with any questions you may have.

Stock & Soil's 4-Acre Off-Leash Nature Adventure In Douglas

Unfenced
4 acres

Welcome to Our 4-Acre Off-Leash Nature Adventure! Treat your pup to a true sensory adventure on our beautiful, unfenced 4-acre property. If you have a dog with a solid recall or want to practice long-line training in a peaceful, natural environment, this is the perfect destination. Our acreage is a sniff-haven packed with diverse areas to explore, making it a fantastic alternative to traditional public parks. What Makes Our Property Special: • Easy Walking Trails: We feature well-maintained, easy-to-walk trails carved right through the property, making it comfortable for both humans and dogs to navigate. • Orchards & Berries: Wander through our open areas featuring mature apple trees and lush blueberry bushes. • Open Play & Deep Sniffs: We offer a beautifully mowed grass area perfect for a game of fetch, which transitions into thick, wooded tree areas where dogs can safely explore off-trail. • Rich Wildlife Scents: Because our property is a natural habitat, your dog will love tracking the smells of local wildlife that frequently pass through, including birds, rabbits, foxes, and deer. Important Safety & Fencing Details: • Unfenced Space: Please note that this property is completely unfenced. It is best suited for dogs with excellent recall, or owners who utilize long training lines. • Wildlife Boundaries: Because wildlife passes through, high-prey-drive dogs should be managed accordingly. Human Amenities: • Ample space to walk alongside your pup and enjoy the fresh air. Come let your dog experience 4 acres of pure sniffing freedom!

Welcome to our Sniffspot area in Sturbridge (Fiskdale) MA. We are excited to provide an off leash play space for your furry bestie. **Winter alert: Other than a path from the driveway, the Sniffspot area is not shoveled and can be VERY icy and/or snow covered!! Conveniently located close to the Massachusetts Turnpike and Rte 84. The Sniffspot area is in a quiet residential, wooded area. There is a sportsman's club a ways down the road, and if there is an event, occasionally, the range can be audible. Most dogs have been completely unbothered by it. Last minute reservations are ok, but please understand, with minimal notice, we may not have the opportunity to completely refresh the play space.

The pool is CLOSED FOR 2026!! Please remember - it needs to be added as an “extra” and there is a limit of 3 dogs in the pool for the longevity of our filter and pump :) There has been some confusion around booking the pool - you need to book the yard for at least as long as you book the yard. The yard blocks the spot on the calendar, not the pool. For example, if you book the yard for 90 minutes, the longest you can book the pool is 90 minutes (you can book the pool for less (e.g. 60 min or 30 min) if you prefer. We will provide towels, pool toys, and life jackets for your use. Please hang the towels and life jackets on the fence when you have completed your visit. Groverland is a 2 acre fenced yard so you and your furry friend(s) have plenty of room to roam. Please be sure the gate latches when you come in and when you leave. We live next to a very busy road and want to ensure everyone's safety! We have toys in a bin on the steps to the deck. Feel free to use them, but please put them back when you are done. There are poop bags and wet wipes on the toy station as well. The poop bucket is next to the gate you came in. Water dishes will be on the pavers between the pool and the house. There is also a kiddie pool for use. We do ask that you keep barking to a minimum. I have grumpy neighbors who disapprove of the Spot :) We are open from 10am - 4pm, but will sometimes make exceptions, so feel free to ask. Now for the Debbie Downer part - as the spot has gotten more popular, we are seeing things getting damaged and, as a result, have added a few rules. If you damage something, please let us know so we can address it. Things happen, so do not worry, we just need to know so we take care of it before the next guest. Pool rules: 1) No dogs on the pool furniture 2) Please do not prop the pool gate open Let us know if you have any questions! IMPORTANT - please note that we have audio and video surveillance in the yard. We are not listening to you….the surveillance is in place as documentation of the noise generated by the Spot to defend against neighbor statements of excessive noise.

JUNE 8th UPDATE: new six foot privacy fence installed to allow for full privacy. They told me to give the fence a few days to settle and then I will be reopened with more hours. Thank you for your patience. This fenced in back yard has plenty of space for dogs to run about. The driveway is long enough that you’ll have your own private and close spot right next to the gate. Peaceful and beautiful backyard. One neighbor is visible but rarely out. Sometimes their dog is outside and will bark but then they take him in. Fenced about five feet tall.
