Very nicely maintained and new lovely wooden privacy fence. My pooches enjoyed running in the vast backyard. The chickens in their coop are an added bonus!

My dogs had a great time at this SniffSpot! The yard is completely fenced with privacy fencing. The yard is massive and clean. There was also a really nice tree for shade. I didn’t realize the chicken coop is in the backyard so be prepared to manage your dogs around the chickens/ducks. It’s totally closed in so dogs can’t get in the coop and birds can’t get out. It was fun to let me dogs explore the birds. They enjoyed themselves for sure. Would definitely book again ❤️
