Family owned and operated boarding kennel for dogs and cats. Fantastic reputation, vet recommended. Located in the pioneer valley, Western Massachusetts. Wonderful place to bring up a family, with access to some of the most prestigious schools in the United States. Minutes from Deerfield academy and Northfield Mount Hermon schools.

With skiing, Florida trade, and the Caribbean season, Hickory Hill Kennel enjoys a full 12 month season.

26 indoor/outdoor kennel, separate grooming shop, separate area for owners own breeding/show kennel, and a separate self-contained manager apartment added May 2004.

All of this is set on 6.5 acres of hill top ground in the pioneer valley of the Connecticut River. There is huge potential to increase the grooming, daycare and training part of the business profile. The current owners have made many improvements to this property since taking over ownership in May 2000.

House

Beautiful New England colonial home, set well back from the kennel. House is 2,400 feet, with a double garage attached.  House has two and a half baths, with whirlpool bath in master suite.  Outside hot-tub on private deck at the back of the house. Kitchen breakfast room has marble floors throughout, dining area and foyer has hard wood oak floors. House built in 1996, has recently been decorated throughout, ready to move into. House included oil fired furnace as well as a wood burning stove.
This property will impress those able to view it, as is ready to move into. The customers of the kennel are extremely happy with the service that has been provided over recent years.

UPDATE:

The grooming shop was completely refurbished - resulting in a new shingle roof, new doors, a new floor, new vinyl siding, new lighting, new ceilings, painting of walls & ceilings. Check out the pictures.

Customers have been delighted with the results. The refurbishing of the grooming shop cost approx. $15k in materials.

In June, 2008, a new room of Luxury Suites was added. The suites are in the addition on the side of the house, not in the kennel. They come with radiant floor heating; ideal for the older guests. The partition panels have "Around the World" theme murals. The room has two large roofed over runs outside. The custom order of the four suites from Snyder Manufacturing cost just under $10,000.

Great News: Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec, 2008 saw four record months of kennel sales. Impressive - especially considering the current economic recession.
