Description

Experience the adventure of the forest and the joy of the lake on a quiet private road in the heart of the Manistee National Forest. With 3 acres of forest to run, a lake with dock to swim, open area to play and plenty of seating to relax or have a snack, this space offers plenty to entertain both canines and their people for hours. There's a picnic table to sit and have a snack or a fire pit with log seating for relaxing (no fires please, we are in a National Forest). Park anywhere along either of the two long wooded driveways. Please no driving or parking between the house and the barn. The property is not fenced however the property is bordered by a lake on one side, blank forest land on one side and quiet neighbors on the other 2 sides who are rarely seen from our property. We also have an outdoor dog wash station, groomed trails and poop bag dispensers with a garbage can coming soon! Note: The condition of the lake varies by season and can get quite mucky at times. We recommend bringing a towel or two. We have a dog wash station coming soon!
