The Meadow Run Private Acreage

Unfenced
5 acres

Welcome to 5 acres of completely secluded, wide-open natural terrain designed for dogs who love to run, hunt, sniff, and work! Nestled directly alongside quiet nature preserves, our property offers incredible privacy and a peaceful escape from suburban distractions. This is not a manicured suburban backyard. Instead, you will find a beautiful, rustic slice of natural country fields featuring tall seasonal grasses, thick brush, and mature trees. It is the ultimate environment for off-leash scent work, long-line recall training, gun dog or sporting breed fundamentals, or just letting a high-energy pup sprint across massive distances without the stress of a public park. To make your visit comfortable, we maintain a wide, freshly mowed walking path that loops entirely through the 5 acres, giving handlers a clean trail to walk while their dogs explore the cover alongside them. The Layout & Safety Details Acreage: 5 full acres of natural, rustic field. Fencing: UNFENCED. This spot is wide open. It is ideal for working breeds, dogs with highly reliable recall, or handlers utilizing training lines. Terrain: Natural, unmowed country field with a mowed walking loop. Please wear sturdy outdoor footwear! Because it is a natural area, we highly recommend up-to-date tick prevention for your pups. Privacy & Homestead Disclosures Total Isolation During Bookings: Your reservation is 100% private. We promise that the 5-acre field will be entirely free of other people and animals for the duration of your visit. Arrival Visibility: Because this is an active homestead, there is a chance you may briefly see us outside taking care of property chores when you first pull into the driveway. However, we will head inside or stay completely clear of the field once you arrive so you can enjoy total privacy. Acoustics: While we have no close or visible neighbors, sound can carry in the country, and you may occasionally hear a neighborhood dog barking in the far distance. Our Animals: For the complete safety and focus of your dogs, our poultry flock is kept completely secure and locked away in their enclosed run during all active bookings. Amenities Provided Dedicated, off-street parking spot right near the field entrance. A clean human seating area near the entrance. Dedicated waste station (trash can + complimentary poop bags). Fresh, clean water station and a dog bowl. Host Rules Please clean up after your pup using the provided waste station. Keep your dog secured until you are in the trail. We have chickens who spend there time around the chicken coop in the front by our home which is not visible from the trail. The neighbors home at the top of the hill is visible a bit. They are friendly and rarely home, if you dog wanders over just bring them back into yard as soon as you can Enjoy the ultimate peace and quiet!

**We have added an indoor space for you to relax and watch your pups play. Come check us out** As the weather is changing and days are getting shorter, we plan to stay open till 5:30pm or longer just depending on daylight. 🐶 If you are looking for a quiet and secluded place for your fur babies to play you have found the right spot. This is a great spot for reactive dogs and non socials as I am situated on 5 acres and almost 2 of the acres are fully fenced for the SniffSpot. My neighbors are very spaced out as well, so u have a very quiet visit. Also a great spot for training ( we have added agility equipment, we have 2 huge tires, Agility jump poles, and an A Frame ladder). And a great spot for birthday parties or a group gathering with your fur friends. Please message with any question. ** Please have your pets on flea and ticks meds** 🐶🐶

THE JACK - 1.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Retreat In Taylor

Fully Fenced
1.5 acres

Welcome to The Jack Sniff. Wander. Breathe. The Jack was born from a lifetime of loving dogs—from those who filled our lives with joy to those whose paw prints remain forever in our hearts. That love inspired us to create a special retreat where dogs can experience the freedom to sniff, wander, run, jump, splash, and explore, while their people find a little peace of their own. More than a place to play, The Jack is a place for pups and their people to unwind, reconnect with nature, and savor the simple happiness of being together. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, with all amenities included in your booking price, so you can enjoy the experience without extra fees. We hope you leave with a happy, tired pup, wonderful memories of your time together, and the feeling that you’ve found a place you’ll want to return to. 💚 The Jack — Where Every Tail Finds Peace.

***IMPORTANT UPDATE*** We will be adding chickens (in a coop) over the next week or two. Recently added a Ninja Fireside 360 heater on the patio to keep you warm on those cold days. Free to use. Please make sure to turn propane on/off. This fully fenced in yard is the ultimate oasis. Walk your dog on over and relax next to Ford Lake with optional usage of the fire pit, fridge, and tiki torches. We also have two playgrounds for younger children (or children at heart) to enjoy. There's also a scooper, dog poop station, and toys available for you to use. Wifi is available free for guests. Connection information will be sent during your booking. Need to charge your phone or use an outlet? Feel free to plug-in to our outdoor receptacles. Need to run your dog at night? Not a problem! We have exterior lights we can turn on both by the lake and near the house that will give you more than enough light to see. There's also solar lights placed throughout the yard. While we don't specifically have an outdoor restroom, if you need to use the restroom, message us and we can let you inside. Dogs must remain outside while you use the facilities. Stay for an hour or have an evening relaxing by the lake with your pup. Note that if your dog is more reactive around people, we recommend coming during the morning during the week. During the summer you may see neighbors out in their yards doing yard work. We have put the kiddie pool up for the season! Feel free to let your dog jump in or get in yourself. This is a free addition to using the site. We also recently added a temporary larger pool for adults (no animals). This is our first year with the pool, so please be gentle while we learn the ins and outs. The yard is intended to be used primary as a dog play space, but if it's hot enough, message us and you can cool off quickly. While we do our best to keep the yard free of poop and check every other day, you may still find some from either guests or our two dogs. We have nearly an acre of yard and it does make it difficult for us to find them all every time. As far as updates from last summer, we have poured two concrete pads: one for a shed and another as a patio under the pergola. We have also had the black walnut tree by the garage cut back significantly to the property line. While this reduces shade on the garage area, it also should reduce the amount of black walnuts that fall. This summer our yard will be one of the stops on the Milan Garden Tour in July.

The backyard has two levels for you and your pup to enjoy. The lower yard is spacious, grassy, and perfect for running, sniffing, and playtime. Up a short set of stairs, there’s an upper deck with a long table and chairs — a nice spot for you to sit, relax, or even bring a friend while your dog explores below. Most of the open room is on the lower level, so your pup will have plenty of space to stretch their legs and have fun.
