55Absolutely wonderful! There are multiple spots to hang out if you aren’t playing with your dogs. Plenty of shaded spots but also some nice spots to work on your tan. Our dogs absolutely loved it and we can’t wait to go back. Anything you could possibly need is there. There is signage up for first timers which is super convenient. Cannot recommend enough!
55This is my dogs’ favorite sniff spot. Nancy is a great hostess and has recently made this spot even better with the addition of a wooden swing.
55I would give it 10 stars if I could. What a beautiful, serene, and enjoyable sniffspot (for my dog & me!) can’t wait to be back. Nancy is lovely.
55What an amazing piece of property this is. Thank goodness for the sign on entrance our we would have missed it. I really appreciated that the entrance is chain link fencing so I didn't have to leave my dogs in the car to be sure no dogs were inside, i could see that from my car, that was such a nice surprise. The spot was clean and had so many places for my dogs to explore. Fully fenced in both yards (the smaller and larger backyard)... even the smaller yard was still pretty big. I brought one of my dogs throw stick and Frisbee, but she never even needed that she was off to the races on this huge lot! The trees were awesome, as it is the dead of August and entirely too hot outside. I wish i had waited till fall cuz we had to spend 15 minutes of our hour sitting in my car halfway thru with AC full blast to cool my dogs off. My fault for booking in mid Aug tho. No fault of the owner of course. It was quiet there, only heard a few noises while we there. So serene. She left out water for my dogs, even toys on the patio... but we never needed them. I can't wait for the weather to cool off so we can go back and enjoy our full visit!!!
55⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our favorite Sniffspot somehow outdid itself! This visit was extra special because the grandparents came from out of town to visit their grandpups. 🐾💗 I reached out beforehand about bringing two cars and a few extra humans, and our wonderful host didn’t just accommodate us, she made us feel welcomed!! We arrived to the sweetest personalized sign with everyone’s names on it! 🥹 It’s little touches like this that keep us coming back. The pups got their favorite place, the grandparents got quality grandpup time, and we got another reason to love this spot. 💕
55Love this place. Peaceful and lots of room for my pups to discover and play!! I just keep coming back!!
55We brought our dog Draco here and had such an amazing experience! The yard was huge, open, clean, and perfect for playing fetch. There were also quiet shaded seating areas, which was perfect for taking a break while still letting him enjoy the space. We also added the bath option and it was SO worth it! They provided everything we needed, including towels, shampoo, and conditioner. There were even toys, a water bowl, and bug spray for the humans, which was such a thoughtful touch. Everything was so well thought out and convenient. Draco had an absolute blast, and we loved how peaceful and private the space felt. We would 100% recommend this spot to other dog owners and will definitely be back! 🐶❤️
55My dogs had a great time, always exactly what I'm looking for large open space, shaded, diff areas to sit, clean and well maintained yard. 😁
55Rhonda had so much fun! It was a huge space with lots of interesting things to explore.
55This property is lovely and perfectly situated for dogs. There’s lots of shade, which is important. It was an extremely hot day, but my dog still ran around and had fun It’s actually two fenced in areas and one we had the splash pad plus there’s lots of raised areas to work out or practice agility on, and please look on that porch because right as we were leaving we noticed all the toys, including chuck it’s of two sizes and sticks. And the other the true back 40 is wide open and beautiful with furnishings for humans and things for dogs to climb on and I like that the gate was nice and wide because what you may not be able to tell is that my French bulldog has no eyes he was able to navigate fine and he does wonderful in this world, but he actually saw almost every inch of this property with all his other senses we will be back and will even book it for longer when the weather is cooler wonderful property

Description

When you book "The Back 40" you have access to the original, smaller, The Mannerly Dog Sniffspot, so no one will be using it while you're here! You'll still have your own private dog park, just a bigger one. You will not see us or our dogs. One neighbor has chickens - they are catty-corner to The Back 40, in the rear. They are in a pen and may cluck or crow at times. the yard catty-corner on the other side occasionally has a couple of dogs in it, but it's pretty rare - it could happen though. You might see or hear humans on the other side of the wooden fence that runs the full 300 feet along the side of both Sniffspots. Otherwise, the area is serene and quiet with plenty of squirrels and birds. Sit and rest or play with your dog - either way, we hope you enjoy your visit!
