Rent safe and private dog water parks and swimming pools hosted by locals in Springfield, Illinois

5(150)

Ten acres of scenic, secluded, fully fenced pasture and woods with full access to all hiking trails and half acre pond. The property sits on ten private acres directly off Old Litchfield Trail in Litchfield, IL, and is full of trails for exploring that offer different and varied views of the property and surrounding area. From early spring to late fall, pollinator wildflowers will offer an ever changing colored landscape, along with the sights and sounds of bees, birds and butterflies. Be prepared for a good workout with your dog as you explore all the ins and outs of this unique property. One tip we can give you is If you see a path leading somewhere, take it, you never know what you may find at the end of it. Also try to go up top on the hilly property in the beginning of your hike and work your way down to the lower parts as you do the hike. You can see the property and surrounding area better at the higher elevations and get a better feel on how the property is set up. We walk or jog at least five laps of the entire property with our seven australian shepherds every day so we are used to all the challenges the property presents but it will be interesting to see how normal people and their dogs handle everything. If you or your dog are faint of heart or not in proper physical condition, we recommend that you reconsider doing the property. You may need more than one hour to go over the whole thing with your dog so bring a snack with you and enjoy it while sitting at the picnic table by the pond. All we ask is that you maintain the cleanliness of the property as it should be spotless with regard to animal waste and trash except for an occasional present from our thoroughbred horse. Also, be safe in all that you and your dog do, navigating the property in its entirety can be a bit tricky at times and as always take proper precautions with tick preventatives for you and your dog, but most of all have some fun with your dog. One more thing, if you have young puppies or rescue dogs that have never experienced being released off leash in an open area like this, bring them and try it, they will have a great time and they will learn so much and gain confidence in what they are capable of doing physically and mentally. Let them go off leash and just follow them around as they explore the property on their terms. You may see a side of them you never knew they had.
