5510 acres spot is absolutely fantastic! It was great with 5 acres before, but now there is so much place for the pups to roam around! After entering the spot and letting my gang off the leash I didn’t see them for a good 20 minutes, they were so excited to check the new area.
Thank you from Cooper, Brutus & Izzy!Donata P.

55This spot was awesome! Our pup enjoyed running around in the field and dipping his feet in the pond to cool off. Would recommend to anybody with a high energy dog that needs to run off leashDrew T.

55A gem of a spot. We traveled an hour to get here as a treat for my dog’s second birthday. He loved swimming in the pond, running through the field, and traversing the reeds along the stream. Erin M.

55The *perfect* spot! Kathy has a gorgeous, well maintained property. My dogs loved exploring the open field, trees and shrubs, and the big pond. The fence is secure, there are convenient trash receptacles, and everything is well marked. I can't wait to come back again sometime. Misty M.

55If your dog is driven by their nose and loves to hunt in bushes or tall grass, this place is absolutely perfect for them! Everything is lush and green and perfect for dogs who just want to sniff. My dog is part hound and spent the entire time just wandering in around the creek area, sniffing everything possible. The pond and field are also gorgeous, especially this time of year. Everything was secure and I felt totally safe just letting my dog wander. Catherine D.

55Kathy was very nice and showed us the property on our first visit. The amount of land is amazing and our dog loved it all. He ran around and rolled in the grass and even checked out the pond area briefly. We will definitely come here again and again.Barry S.

55Best Sniffspot in Lancaster! This place has it all. Our Newfoundland Samson loved the pond on this warm day, and Delilah loved exploring this beautiful piece of land with so many trees, and places to explore. The little bridges, Adirondack chairs, and walking paths make this spot so unique. This is the second time we have come here, and we will come back over and over again. Thank you so much! Erin S.

55A great place for dogs to run and play! My dog had a blast running through the field, exploring the trails and playing in the pond. I love how big of an area it is while still being fully fenced and well maintained. The swing was a great spot to sit and watch my dog enjoying the pond. I plan on coming back to try the lure course sometime.Sarah K.

55I need a sixth star! The Pond is unbelievable. Bentley headed straight for the water and spent a full hour splashing in the pond or the stream. I lost him in the stream grass... thank God for his white tipped tail, which was wagging like a flag above the grass. We WILL be back!ruth m.

55Loved the pond. We have been to the acres, but this was our first time at the pond and the dogs loved it! Our hounds don’t love to swim but they do like wading in water and spent probably half the time in the pond, if not more. The pond is huge, but with 10 acres still plenty of space for them to run, and find shade. The property is very well maintained and clean. Lots of clean of spots to dispose of dog poop. She even provides hand sanitizer, and dog wipes at the front gate. I only wish we lived a little closer so we could bring them more often! Sara C.
