55We had a great visit! It was a beautiful fenced in backyard that my 6 month old puppy had so much fun running around in. Only thing I’d say is that depending on the time of day you visit, bug spray is a necessity - I brought my own but the host also had some sitting out as well! Kathryn H.

55Great place! If your dog likes to eat plants, don’t come here. Thankfully mine just sniffs. Also, the owners don’t want dogs on the porch so make sure to keep an eye on that. We will definitely be back, very beautiful back yard. Michael K.

55Milo had a great time exploring and then just lazed in the pool. Lots of space to run. Make sure you have your running shoes on and Be ready to run quick if your pooch heads for the deck and doesn't respond to "Come" yet :-) (we're still working on that) They had a big fan going on one of the patios which felt great and also had bug spray out in case it was needed. Milo's a very sociable guy and we will visit again. Hoping next time there's a buddy there for him.Kathy H.

55This yard is beautiful and on a hill with lots and lots of sniffing opportunities! :) My dog is totally konked out now. :) I enjoyed the morning sun thru the trees. The fan is a high powered one and so helpful on a muggy morning.
My pup is a houdini with barriers and always wants to go to doors. He did get past one of the deck barriers so I may take a baby gate for next time.
I highly recommend!Karen K.

55Beautiful spot with so many sniffortunities! The trees and the fan make it very doable even on a very hot day. Lots of toys, different types of areas to explore and play, and a great spot for the pawrents to just chill.Kathryn C.

55This spot was perfect for my friend’s and I’s pups. It was really big and there were plenty of things for the pups to sniff. There was even a kiddie pool that my friend’s dog LOVED. They had fresh water for them and places to sit. They even had three different kinds of bug spray… oh and PLENTY of toys!! Highly recommend!Becca W.

55It was extremely clean and had way more space than the photos made it look like. It was a lil buggy but that’s expected in August in NC and they had bug spray on a table, I brought my own but maybe this is out for guests? If you’re looking for a big open space for fetch probably not the spot (as it’s a little difficult to play and avoid all the landscaping) but if you want somewhere for fun sniffs and a beautiful aura it’s definitely the spot!Bethany T.

55I recently visited this Sniffspot for the first time with my husband and our two fur babies, Arya and Sly. The experience was nothing short of amazing!
Having a wild spirit like Arya and a blind pup like Sly can make finding suitable play areas a challenge. Sniffspot was a game-changer for us. The yard was not only beautiful but also provided the privacy we needed for our unique needs.
Apple, the host, was an absolute gem. Not only was she warm and welcoming, but she was also incredibly responsive to any questions or concerns we had. Her attention to detail and genuine care for our experience really stood out.
The yard itself was a canine paradise. There was an abundance of water and toys, ensuring our pups were well-entertained throughout our visit. The spacious area allowed Arya to unleash her wild side, while Sly navigated with confidence, thanks to the private and secure environment.
Whether it was running freely, exploring every nook and cranny, or simply lounging around, there was no shortage of opportunities for our dogs to enjoy themselves. Sniffspot provided an enriching experience for both Arya and Sly, and for us as pet parents, it was a true delight to witness.
We're already making plans to return. Sniffspot has undoubtedly earned its place as our go-to spot for private, safe, and enjoyable playtime. Kudos to Apple for creating such a haven for our furry family members. We can't wait to be back!Kelly P.
