Welcome to this charming home with a turn-key dog boarding facility, barn with 5 box stalls, tack room, hay storage and a small drive shed, all nestled on over 6 acres of picturesque land including a once registered apple orchard.

The present average rate at comparable facilities is approximately $40/day and the Sellers at the time of operating their facility were mostly at full capacity 7 days a week. The Sellers will happily spread the word to their former clients to assist in the launching of your business (their phone is still ringing with requests).
