• My puppy Gus and I had an absolute blast! I’ve never seen him so happy running and romping and he loved seeing the goats behind the fence. The 1+hour drive was absolutely worth it. Grace is an awesome host and even had a special welcome and left us some treats for the drive back. Absolute favorite Sniffspot, we will be back! Thank you, Grace!
  • One of our favorite SniffSpots. Thanks Grace!
  • So much fun!
  • Mötley had another fantastic time again. Can't wait to get him out there when the temperature begins to heat up.
  • Always a pleasure spending time here! Took my Doggo Niko for his birthday since it has been a while. He enjoyed the fresh air and scenery. Thanks for the treats too!!!
  • Thanks Grace!
  • Ariel had a great time in the forest! The place is pretty big and amazing!
  • Super easy to find and very welcoming! Ralph had a great time running around and even ran through the water a few times. Definitely will be back
  • Amazing visit as always! Muddy after recent rains, so bring towels to wipe off paws. We love coming here!
  • This sniffspot is amazing! We absolutely loved our tranquil walk through the forest. A lovely little creek for my dog to swim in and the most adorable goats at the entrance. The property is large enough to have a decent hike and is well fenced.
  • I've been wanting to visit this Sniffspot for a while now and finally got the chance to come up from Seattle. It did not disappoint! Grace was very kind and helpful, and the property is gorgeous. There's so much safe space for my pup to explore and roam. I can't wait to visit again!
  • Absolutely amazing! We’ll be back!
  • After years of coming, Hike up Mini Forest is still our favorite SniffSpot and Grace is still our favorite host. Beautiful forest, fully fenced, stream, trees, paths, places to sit, protected areas from the rain, outhouses (so no problem drinking coffee on the drive up), and responsive and kind host. Amenities that make you and your pup feel like welcome guests, including for dogs: balls, chuck its, water and water bowls, poop bags and for people: lights in outhouse, toilet seat liners, dry toilet paper and surprise treats left by your car for you and your dog as you are leaving. Truly a special place and worth the drive.
  • Fun woods for my dog and very nice host!
  • Thank you, Grace, for sharing your property with us! What a treat to be able to rent out such an awesome piece of property. So much room to run and play, which is extra special to us since our nervous pup isn’t able to enjoy public spots like this. Loved the added touch with the treat (for both pup and human!) at the end. We’ll definitely be back!
  • 🐶 🐶 Wonderful SniffSpot!!! Thanks!
  • This was a fantastic spot! It’s a jaunt from seattle but we’ll definitely be back.
  • Best sniffspot we’ve been to by far! The owners were such kind people and our dogs had such a great time on the beautiful land :) thank you so much!
  • The hosts were so nice. The property is beautiful. We had so much fun walking around and exploring. We even played hide and seek with our dog because the area is so big. Our dog did eventually notice the goats our front and try to play with them lol
  • Secure, forested lovely spot. With an hour plus drive to get there, the outhouses are really appreciated also!
  • Grace was so kind and started our visit off on a positive, happy note. This was our first Sniffspot experience and it was awesome! Our dog had such an amazing time
  • What a lovely forest to run free in! The host was extremely gracious and friendly!
  • Grace met us at the gate when we arrived and provided everything we could have needed to enjoy her sniffspot (water, bags, balls, etc.) The location is beautiful and our dogs had the greatest time running through water, up the hills and exploring the large space. We loved it so much that we got a membership!
  • Fantastic trails and property. My pups loved exploring all the little areas in the forest
  • We always have a great time here. It’s huge, the fence is secure enough for our pooches, and we love the peaceful, solitude trails. Thank you 🙏!!!
  • This is a wonderful place. The place is fantastic with a ton of things to explore. Grace Was kind enough to greet us and even leave a goody bag for when we left. We will definitely be back,
  • This is an amazing, beautiful spot! It was truly an off leash hiking experience for my dog, and he loved it. We also had a great time getting our steps in! Grace was so kind and welcoming as well. We hope to be back again soon!
  • Always a beautiful and fun spot to visit. It’s our top spot! Wr love coming here and love the host! We brought pup friends for a holiday walk today and there was a tiny layer of fresh snow. MAGIC!
  • The host, Grace, could not have been more kind and gracious. Our dogs LOVED the property! So much room to run and things to explore. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Grace!
  • Such a magical hour with our dogs! Beautiful and well maintained property! On a scale of 1-10, this experience was a 20! Grace was so welcoming and even left a little treat for us all when we returned to our car! Thank you so much! We’ll definitely be back!
  • Amazing!! Both dogs had so much fun, and they were exhausted on the car ride home. The host was extremely friendly. We’re already looking into renting the cabins in the future. I’ll definitely be back!
  • Always have the best time here!
  • This was our first experience using Sniffspot and it was great! The place was easy to find, Grace was very welcoming and helpful, and most importantly our dogs had an awesome time running through the woods and playing in the creek!
  • The Mini Forest is lovely and both the dogs and us love visiting!
  • Our dog didn’t want to leave :-)
  • Had a wonderful time exploring the mini forest! Plenty of fun trails and open areas for throwing the ball. Our pup highly recommends!
  • We had an amazing experience. From the very beginning. Our names were posted. We were given the areas that start, but we were assured the entire property was fenced. Our 7 month old American Bully Mötley had a blast . He was tuckered. We all even got treats when we left
  • Beautiful spot! My dog loved running around, climbing on the logs, and romping through the stream. The owner was so incredibly sweet, too! Thank you so much for hosting!
  • Wonderful place to visit. We took advantage of the holiday to drive the extra distance and check this Sniffspot out. Worth the drive! Our dog, Mocha, had a great time sprinting along the open spaces and romping through the underbrush. A special treat for us all. The owner came out to welcome us, which was really nice. At the end she also left us some dog and human treats, making this visit extra special.
  • This place is AWESOME!! My dog loved it. Zoomies and everything! The host was super sweet, met us when we got there, and left a little snack on my car for when we get back.
  • This Sniffspot was well worth the extra miles to travel to. Grace was a great host and briefly greeted us on arrival and directed us towards the Sniffspot area. The hiking area is so peaceful and full of beautiful nature. There are so many nooks and crannies to explore and my dog was determined to explore every square foot. Best part is you can't even hear the road from deep in the forest! The property also has a couple cabins which you can rent through Hipcamp which I will check out soon for a couple days of rustic solitude in nature. The outhouses was also a nice amentity. We spent some time practicing truffle hunting with scent tins in the back corner by the fence. My pup loved running through the crinkly fall leaves and checking out the creek running through the property. Recommended for humans and pups needing rest in a secluded magical forest. My 85lb pup slept all the way home curled up in a little ball. We will be returning for more sniffing and rustic cabin camping on this location.
  • This is such an amazing spot with so much space and fun!! For the water loving dogs the creek was a huge hit. Having a securely fenced space of this size was so nice to give my Great Pyrenees room to run off leash. They had a blast
  • What a wonderful area. Our pup loved it and so did we. Absolutely everything we wanted. Thanks Grace for being such a great host.
  • Fun time for our new pup Bennie, along with Skye. They are both sound asleep on the couch now, exhausted! See you again soon!
  • Loved it here, great hills to hike up and open space to run. Our pup loved every minute of our visit.
  • We absolutely love this little piece of mini forest to roam and explore. My pup now gets excited about a mile away. We've come here multiple times and we always have a great time rain or shine. We recently came after one of our first giant windstorms and we could tell the hosts had already been working away on mindfully clearing downed trees and branches. Thank you! We are so grateful for this safe space.
  • Always the best spot
  • Absolutely amazing space!! Everything a dog needs to feel fulfilled and safe. If your dog is one to look for a way to escape outside the fence line, they may be able to find it. but it's plenty secure for any pups who are happy to run and explore. Definitely will be returning!
  • This was the best sniff spot I have been too so far! Tons of space for the dogs to run and play. The host was FANTASTIC. Absolutely stellar experience. We will be back.
  • Beautiful fall day spent with our friends! It was the best day ever for the doggos. Running free and wild, Freyja and Riley were living their best lives today in a safe and secure environment on a beautiful private property! It was awesome! 🤎🐶🍁🍂🥾💤
  • This was my second time here! Fully enclosed and plenty of trails throughout to walk. Dogs loved it. Will be back!
  • Great spot! Secure fencing and a very accommodating host! My dog did get spooked by gun shots near the end of our time, but that is totally out of control of the host and it was relatively quiet up until the end.
  • Grace was an absolutely wonderful host. The property was fully fenced, with a mixture of trails, woods, meadows, and streams. Great for a short burst of excitement or spending a few hours with more people. The dogs loved it and we’ll be back soon!
  • Amazing visit- We loved roaming the forest with our 3 reactive dogs without worry!
  • Been a while since we have been there however our pup loved it and remembered it as we drove up. She loves to run so there is lots of open places as well as fun trail areas to go zoomie on. The whole area seems cleaner and more organized, and I believe there are now two outhouses... one up and one down. Great addition!! Will be back again soon; getting a second pup in the next few weeks and looking forward to introducing him to Sniffspotting too. Thanks you Grace!
  • I didn't realize that the host met first-time guests, so I wasn't prepared! She was very kind and took my pup's barking with grace, though. The land is incredible - plenty of space to explore and roam safely. We will be back!
  • What a wonderful place! Our two dogs had the best day ever. They were so happy to be off leash in such a big and adventurous place. The property was clean and the host was very friendly. I highly recommend this spot. We can’t to go back soon!
  • We had to cancel and reschedule at the last moment. Grace was easy to reach and super understanding.
  • The host is incredibly nice!
  • I loved my visit to this place, my dog had a great time. We have a half German half lab who is very athletic and love running, so he end up exhausted and satisfied. After we came back home he took a really long nap. We are planning to add a new pup in the family,so next time will be bringing her as well. Grace, was so amazing, very nice person. Give stars for her!!
  • This property was amazing! My dog and I had so much fun running around and playing in the water. The host was so thoughtful and kind too. We will definitely be back!
  • Awesome spot and super friendly host!
  • We have a membership here and this is our favorite SniffSpot. It’s large, fully fenced, and it has trails that our dogs love to explore. There is a opening in the inner fence near the entrance to the SniffSpot that our pooch went through once, but there is an outer fence that kept her in. She barked at the goats so we’ve now, stayed up the hill in the SniffSpot to avoid her getting close to that opening until it’s time to head out and it’s worked out perfectly. If you don’t do well with steep hills, there is a narrow path to the right of the gravel hill and along the fence that is less steep and loops to the same areas. Grace is a wonderful host - leaves us treats by the car and understands when our dog barked at her goats. Thanks for sharing your wonderful SniffSpot, Grace!
  • Amazing spot for building a dog's confidence. All enclosed and so much to sniff, jump on and explore. My dog had a blast. It was our first time so we met the host upon arrival, she was so kind and you can tell is really a dog lover. My dog actually got sick from something he ate earlier in the day and vomited in the car on the way there. We had to pull over to clean it up and were late to our reservation, so she let us stay a few extra mins beyond our end time. Cannot wait to come back!
  • This is a great spot! My dog wore himself out running the hills and splashing in the creek. This spot is one of the few spots in the area that is a fully-fenced large acreage & was my pup’s first opportunity to hike off leash. We will absolutely be back again!
  • We always have a wonderful time here. Thank you, Grace!
  • We really enjoyed this Sniffspot! Lots of clear and well maintained trails and plenty of places to sit. My dog enjoyed the stream and the mud very much. 😅
  • Great spot! Highly recommend, my dog had a great time!
  • This is a beautiful spot and Grace is a wonderful host. I can't recommend it enough!
  • Wonderful secure and interesting space for exploring! Finn had a great time on the trails and playing fetch in the ample shade!
  • This is by far our favorite place to come get the zoomies out. Kole loved having so much space all to himself and especially loved running in and out of the stream. We can't wait to go back!
  • We had an amazing time. Grace was more than kind and responsive and even left us a little bag of treats for human & dog :) the property was truly stunning and couldn’t have been better maintained. She has balls you can borrow, chuck its, poop bags, water, bowls, bug spray ect in case you forget anything! It was so worth the drive we can’t wait to be back.
  • Everything was perfect! it was clean, quiet, fully enclosed with tons of room to play and run and we enjoyed every minute. Definitely recommend this sniffspot 😀
  • This site is amazing!! So much room both humans & dogs get great exercise! The Hosts cabins are super cute, trails are everywhere & I was so happy to visit rustic clean outhouse.The goats were in their home- off the side of park boundary.Thank goodness as we have reactive pups. Host is friendly & brief & left us treats on our way out.Very well maintained. The creek is cold & fresh both sandy & muddy shores. I picked up 3 poops that others left behind. I feel visitors could mind the rules better or sites as this could close due to rules not being followed. I could camp there for a week and not once leave this naturally beautiful place!
  • The “hike up the mini forest” is the best SniffSpot my dog and I have been to! The host is so friendly and provides balls, bug spray, poo bags and trash cans. The property is lovely and securely fully fenced! We came back to find a little baggy with dog and human treats in it on the car. Such a sweet surprise! 10/10!
  • We so enjoyed visiting Grace's beautiful property. She was a welcoming host and the space is a beautiful wooded forest land with lots of room to roam and a flowing creek to play in. Scout had a blast exploring, we packed a forest picnic (pack it in, pack it out ( :) and even saved time to visit her beautiful herd of goats and took some farm fresh eggs back home with us. We can't wait to come back!
  • The best SniffSpot ever! Feels like we’re going hiking in the woods, with no worries of the dogs running too far or bothering anyone. Host is wonderful, leaving small thank you treats, and her organic eggs are worth paying extra for. We’re a regular now and until we’re able to fence our yard, this is our to go spot for the pooches.
  • Great location! Welcoming host & a wonderful “swimming hole” for the pooch. He had a great time & so did we. Great amenities including poop bags, toys, garbage cans & toilet facilities. Beyond expectations.
  • Our pup loved this place! Hands down our favorite spot! Grace is an amazing host. ♥️
  • My dog loved it here! Great property and such a nice host. My dog loved running up and down all the hills and smelling all the smells of the forest. Excited to return!
  • This Sniffspot is AWESOME, I completely understand why it’s always super booked in advance. Our dogs had so much fun running and sniffing, so many great places to play hide and seek from our dogs too haha. Grace was also so sweet, she greeted us when we parked and gave us a rundown on the property and surprised us with some treats as we left. We will definitely be back!
  • Amazing! My new favorite spot, and now I kind of want to rent a cabin here. My dogs had a blast and Grace is so sweet. Highly recommend.
  • Felt like we were on a real hike! Doggo loved playing in the creek. Owner came out and greeted us, showed us around, and even left us a little dog treat on our way out. 10/10 recommend!
  • This was our 3rd visit and it is always a magical place and worth the hour drive. Grace is a thoughtful host and thinks of everything. We really enjoyed feeding the goats some apples on the way out too. Just one thing to note, our dog wandered into the long grass by the creek while we were down there and we couldn’t see him for a minute, but heard a big splash. He got out and was soaked up to his ears so there must be a pretty deep area- our dog can’t swim so it’s something to be aware of near the creek and if your dog is as naughty as ours :-)
  • So pleasant and peaceful. Exactly as advertised, fully fenced, mini forest. Sadie looooves it there
  • Great first experience with sniff spot! Super friendly host who has thought of everything you may need. Beautiful property for you and your pups to explore. Our dogs were exhausted!
  • This place is amazing! Love the secluded feeling in the woods and it’s huge! Lots of walking trails and places to sit down for a bit. We got to work on recall in a new setting and it was alot of fun
  • Nemo our pit mix who we call a pitopotomus loved just romping around your mini forest. He was so tired he could barely jump up into the car and just layed down. Thx for the doggy treat and the human treats. We will definitely be back. Thank you Grace.
  • It was our first time visiting a Sniffspot and we had a great experience. Our whole family enjoyed the visit. Our dog loved exploring the wooded area and the creek was a big hit. Looking forward to visiting again.
  • Still one of our favorite spots ever. Between the personalized greeting and treats after an hour of zoomies, this spot is worth the drive everytime. ♡
  • fun place!
  • Another wonderful visit to our favorite Sniffspot! It is a gorgeous, clean, peaceful paradise. The pups love running up the base of the mountain & splashing in the cool creek on hot days. And the fresh eggs add-on is always a delicious bonus :)
  • A very great Sniffspot and lots of space to enjoy!!! Very welcoming hosts as well!
  • We always have a wonderful time visiting this SniffSpot. It’s our favorite SniffSpot and Grace, the host is wonderful.
  • Amazing location with lots to explore, our dog had an amazing time running up and down hills and fetching sticks in the stream. We will definitely be back, thank you!
  • SO AWESOME my dog loved it!
  • Such a beautiful place
  • Always a pleasure and still my favorite place. The attention to detail and hospitality is above and beyond!
  • Starting with a brief welcome and ending with a thank you and treats, our visit was perfection. My dogs loved being able to run around and sniff everything at their leisure! They ran in the creek, up the hills, down the hills. It is a peaceful and beautiful property. It is a safe, secure place and we will be visiting again, soon!
  • Mini Forest Sniffspot is everything & more! Friendly host came out to greet us & explain the layout. With a hilly forest, trails, plenty of toys & even a stream for our water baby to play in, this place really delivers. Our 3 year old Dobie girl fell in love with Mini Forest so much that when it came time to leave, she wouldn’t budge. Ha! We had to extend our visit another 30 minutes. Bonus, there is an outhouse on the property for us humans :) Thank you Grace, we will be back!
  • Amazing as always!
  • We had an amazing time, will definitely be back!
  • One of my favorite Sniff spots!!!
  • Our favorite sniff spot, will definitely be returning.
  • Our first visit and we had a lovely time! Grace is a gracious host, and the property is well-cared for with good fencing and wide paths. Our dogs enjoyed a fun romp in the shade and the creek. We appreciated the ample seating throughout the property. We look forward to our next visit!
  • Heaven...with our doggies!! Odin and Basil (Bas is 13 and needs a stroller sometimes) had a wonderful time running, playing in the water, smelling smells, and running...did I mention the running?! Rachelle and I loved the forest, too! BEAUTIFUL!! A truly magical place that we will be back to again, many times - and a big thank you to Grace, too - a wonderful person and gracious host!!
  • Our second time here — just wonderful!!
  • This is a fantastic spot. Tons of room to run in the trees, explore and be happy! Wonderful and welcoming host! too!!
  • First off the sniff spot itself is an incredible oasis for pups with everything you can think of. Plus Grace’s little touches to really make you and your pups feel at home are what made this experience so incredible. We were provided water, sunscreen, toys, big spray, poop bags and more right when we arrived. Then on top of that as we were about to leave we saw treats for both our pups and ourselves. We even got to meet the owner herself! Cannot recommend enough. Thank you for providing us with such an amazing experience!
  • Such a great spot! Creek for frolicking, shady, lots of places to sit, and has a nice gravel road for walking the forest. It is steep in places so I'd recommend shoes over flip-flops.
  • This was our first time trying Sniffspot and it was a great experience! The area was so beautiful and my pups had a blast splashing in the creek! Our host Grace was also so helpful and sweet and overall made the experience. Will definitely be coming back again!
  • Absolutely amazing! Our dogs loved running and playing in the creek. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful property with our pups. We’ll be back!
  • This place is great! It's beautiful, huge, and fenced in well. The creek was a perfect place for the dogs to cool off on a warm day. We did see the resident goats (fenced off) and the neighbor's chickens (fenced off). Grace is an excellent host and makes sure you have everything you need for a good visit. Highly recommend.
  • This was my second visit with my Shepard lab mix. He's an on-leash dog nearly everywhere. Here he's able to be offleash where I can practice recall with him. A friend joined me with her Husky for the first time. It was an unusually hot day in Western Washington, however, this Sniffspot was cool due to the shade provided by trees. The dogs also cooled off in the shallow, briskly flowing creek on the property. It was nice to share this experience with a new friend. We both will be back. The host even left a nice treat for us at the end of our visit. I would gladly stay longer if possible. I'm lucky to have this wonderful place close to my home.
  • We had such a great time. The Spot is very clean, and really is a mini forest. My dog and pals had a great time running through different lengths of grass and ferns. The little creek was a nice spot for the dogs to cool down, and there was even a mud bath hole (for the pups that enjoy it). It is cooler in the Spot thanks to the trees. Definitely recommend.
  • Our favorite SniffSpot. We’ve been here several times and have become a member. The wonderful host, Grace, leaves us treats on our car every time. The dogs have a blast hiking, sniffing and visiting the river.
  • We love this place!! Quiet and a very large fenced off space! My senior pups love it here ❤️
  • Such a beautiful space to explore. Everything was so nice and taken care of. The hike was so much fun. We didn’t want to leave! We can’t wait to come back and explore more!
  • We had a wonderful adventure! Absolutely will be back to visit again!
  • Oh my goodness!!! This was our first time trying Sniff Spot!! What a beautiful piece of property…it was perfect for our 6 1/2 mo Labany to explore and train a bit off leash! He loved the creek and every little trail that intertwines through out! Thank you so much Grace!! We will be back!
  • Our family had a wonderful hike through the forest today! Grace met us as we arrived and helped us feel very welcome. You truly feel at peace wandering through the forest with your dog. It’s incredibly safe and relaxing. We look forward to visiting again!
  • The host was very friendly and professional, and the property is very clean and safe. Our dogs had a terrific time splashing around in the creek.
  • Our dog loved the mini forest and we did too! Such a great spot with hills, trees and creek access. Grace was awesome she met us to give us the lay of the land. Lots of little extras. Love this spot!
  • I cannot say enough positive things about this spot! Grace is a gracious host and the property is a wonderful place to let your dog run free. We brought our pointer who had tons of energy and he was actually tired by the time we left. If possible, try to book more than one hour because this seems like a great place to hangout and enjoy the outdoors with your dog!
  • Thank you so much!! We appreciate your beautiful space!
  • What a great first experience using sniffspot! I chose this spot because I wanted to test how my dogs would do with off leash hiking and recall. Grace's property was fantastic for exploring, playing fetch, and getting your heart rate up if you want to go up/down the hills. Plenty of amenities like fetch toys, places to sit, and trash bins if needed. There was a lot of thought put into making this place fun for humans and pups, totally worth it! The creek was perfect for the dogs to cool off too. Wear some waterproof boots depending on the time of day and weather.
  • This was our first Sniffspot and it did not disappoint. We were greeted by the host Grace who gave us a brief run down of her place. She also offers some toys/misc items you might need for your pup if you forget anything. Our boy Walter loved everything about this place! So many new smells and places to explore. The property is nice and shady with gravel roads and little trails. On our way out Walter found the creek to cool off and jump around in. We had a great time and will definitely be back.
  • Our dog really enjoyed some off leash time out in the woods. There was plenty to sniff and he enjoyed wading in the creek. The area was secure enough where we didn’t feel concerned that our dog would try to escape. There were also a few toys, bowls and a jug of water for the doggos. Thanks for offering up your space!
  • Best spot ever. We love visiting and fed the goats bread today ♡
  • We had a blast! The little creeks and the massive moss covered trees are absolutely breathtaking. Lots of room to run, hike, and chill. Chance had so much fun he’s passed out now snoring away. We will DEFINITELY be back!!
  • Grace was so sweet and kind! The property was wonderful and our dogs had a blast! The hills were a bit of a hoof, and it was definitely a hike, but nothing we didn’t expect with a name like “Hike up the mini forest.” ;P Our dogs LOVED all the running water throughout the property, especially by the gate. What a wonderful place to visit during the warmer months! Thinking about it, I bet you could get some pretty epic sledding down that big hill in the winter! Grace met us at the gate and walked us through everything for our first time. There was a basket that included toys, bug spray, and more, which was so appreciated! We were so surprised to see two little baggies of treats (both for humans and dogs) at the gate on our way out. What a treat! We’ll definitely be back!
  • It’s such a delight to spend time in Grace’s forest! To have the opportunity to be in the woods,in a place that is secure and so welcoming, is something to be very grateful for.
  • This was a great spot! We all had a blast! The creek was super fun for Lyla to play in. Plenty of places for all of the pups to explore.
  • As always our doggy’s had a fantastic time. We are grateful for you and your property.
  • This place is breathtaking! Best 1 1/2 hours on the 4th of July for our dogs. Grace met us when we arrived and was so kind, she is an excellent host! We will be back again and again…. Our dogs were in heaven running thru the property and playing in the creek! 10/10 can’t recommend this place enough.
  • Favorite sniff spot ever!!!!
  • The host is really friendly and accommodating. The property is beautiful, fully fenced and very secure. My dog had a great time exploring, will definitely be back.
  • What an amazing spot!!! Easy to find, lovely hostess, well fenced, and the property is incredible. So peaceful (for me) and so so so many smells for the pup. Timber delighted in the creek while I enjoyed the hike and the seating. This place is an absolute gem - highly recommend!!
  • There is so much room for the dogs to run and splash around! We will definitely be returning!
  • Fantastic sniffspot adventure! Grace is a wonderful host, everything was clearly marked to make for an east stress free experience - a very beautiful, peaceful place with so much to explore. We can't wait to go back!
  • This was our second visit with our dogs. The weather was perfect and our dogs were having a blast! The trails are neat and you have the place to yourselves. Grace is an amazing host and her property is simply gorgeous. Can’t wait to return !
  • We loved our visit here and our dogs loved the freedom to run. The little creek at the beginning was a favorite for one of my two. Definitely will be back.
  • Great as always! We love it here!
  • Grace was an amazing the host! The dogs absolutely loved the creek. That was their favorite part! I took the whole family and everybody had a great time. Grace even left little treats after our hike. Such a cute gesture. Thanks for the opportunity to visit.
  • Fantastic sniff spot, lots of trails, clean, lovely trees/ferns/birds singing. My favorite spot!
  • It’s our second time back! We love it here and have reoccurring bookings for the next couple months! Thanks so much grace!
  • The weather held out for the city pooches to get to roam in the forest and have loads of time sniffing. Will definitely be back for more.
  • Super nice greeting as we pulled in. We had the best time exploring around and what a nice watering hole with the sound of the running water babbling down. My dogs loved it!! Thank you for sharing your awesome space!
  • This is our favorite sniffspot! Large Forest to explore 🙂
  • This spot is peaceful and beautiful!! My dog is reactive so to be able to take him here to such a large area and let him off leash to just be a dog made my heart happy. Grace was soooo accommodating and sweet and had everything your pup might need! There is a stream which my dog loved, plenty of trash cans and restrooms!! I will 100 percent be back here very soon!
  • Grace was so friendly and the property was amazing. My pup had a blast. We will be back!
  • The spot was exactly as described. I was able to practice off leash recall in a safe beautiful Sniffspot. We even jumped through one agility hoop!
  • This place is awesome. Very welcoming and great exploring for our dogs and kids with trails, and water to splash in. A great place for a picnic. Our 2 English mastiffs give it 8 paws up!
  • Another great visit with the pups (and we even got to visit the goats!) thanks Grace!
  • Perfect place for dogs to be dogs and great exercise for the whole family. Great host. Great location. Highly recommend!
  • Our first visit was spectacular. There are so many little paths to explore and you can feel comfortable letting your dog roam without worrying about them getting lost. The creek was perfect for the end of the stay to let the pup cool off. This will definitely be our go-to
  • The mini forest is so sweet and fun and relaxing. It’s secure and expansive. Who loves it more,Sadie or me?! Grace is so thoughtful and welcoming.
  • This was my first ever Sniffspot visit and we had such a great time. Grace was so nice and had a selection of useful dog stuff available. We borrowed a Chuck-It and ball and my dog had a blast. The Sniffspot is beautiful. When you get to the gate you’re met with a peaceful stream and there’s tons of space to hike around and play with your dog. Everything seemed secure and clean. This Sniffspot was probably one of the best introductions I could have to the service.
  • Grace was so lovely and welcoming! The spot gave our dogs a wonderful forest setting and so much to explore. We have a reactive dog so it was amazing to take him on a “hike” without the fear of other doggies running up. We loved it!
  • What a great property! Grace is an excellent host.
  • What an amazing find! Grace greeted us as this was our first visit and showed us how to get in. Her spot has everything you need to have fun! Will definitely be back if I’m in the area again.
  • What a magical, wonderful, inviting place. Thank you so much for sharing your space with us.
  • This place is great! Right from the go my puppers was SO happy to be here. Grace came out to meet us with a big smile and a warm greeting. She showed us were to go and had a variety of supplies/toys if we needed them. Very beautiful and clean. We love it here. My dog thinks it’s pawsome!
  • Always an amazing time! Grace is such a great host. We had a whole pack of dogs and everyone had a fabulous time. So amazing to see dogs zoom freely and safely. Can be muddy but it’s worth it for the adventure- wear hiking boots and bring towels. Thank you Grace and family for sharing your amazing property with us.
  • Our favorite Sniffspot to take the crew! Always clean & well-maintained, gorgeous & fun setting, thoughtful host & an added bonus of sweet goats :)
  • Everything was awesome, grace was so pleasant. I'll bring bug spray next time.
  • Such an amazing spot!! We will definitely be back. Grace was a fantastic host.
  • Beautiful spot. Our dog and we loved it. Georgie is a big weasel and found a way under fence in stream. Owner was super friendly, felt bad and offered refund. Not their fault, we have an escape artist with a lack of good recall. Most dogs would be contained there. Thanks for letting us enjoy your space.
  • Awesome little hike! So much fun for my dog! Lots of running around and a little creek for her to play in. Host was extremely accommodating and provided clear instructions from the start. Wish this was closer to me! Awesome spot!
  • Amazing Sniffspot! Possibly the best one I've been to. My dog had a blast running all over, investigating the smells and different features. Host was friendly and very hospitable!!
  • Had a great time with my dog as well as my friend and her dog! Thank you :)
  • Such a fun Sniffspot! Beautiful property with mini trails, a little river, agility equipment, and cute cabins throughout. Thank you Grace for sharing this gem with us!
  • I’m a little afraid to write this review because I feel like more people will want to go and leave less time for our pup, but this is the best Sniffspot we’ve been to. It’s quiet, huge and fenced. It wasn’t just a respite for our reactive dog — it was a respite for us. Grace is an amazing host and made the experience feel like an Airbnb for dogs. We will definitely be returning if she’ll have us 😊
  • We cannot WAIT to go back here!! Our 3 dogs had more fun then I’ve ever seen them have! We have 1 dog that loves dogs parks, 1 dog that’s dog selective and we’re fostering a dog that’s nervous around strangers. This place fit all their needs. Also, a great place to practice off leash training. Plus, the host was so sweet and accommodating.
  • Absolutely beautiful spot with *so much* space to run and place (we didn't quite explore it all on our first trip!) A ton of spots to run and fetch, woods for strolling, plenty of benches and areas for pups and people to rest. And Grace is so friendly and welcoming.
  • A reactive or dog selective pups dream! My rottie is very sensitive does not like offleash dogs so unfortunately she does not get the ability to venture out with her other siblings. I am so happy we found this spot! Loved every moment!
  • What a great spot for the pups to explore. Plenty of trails, trees, and space, as well as a creek to splash around in. The fence was secure and I felt totally comfortable letting my two run free. Grace met me out front, as it was my first time using Sniff Spot, and was so warm and kind. I have two worn out pups- we will absolutely be back!
  • Absolutely incredible spot! Lots of room for the dogs to explore and enjoy. Plenty of zoomies were had by all! We will definitely visit here again.
  • Loved this spot. It was our first ever sniffspot and our dogs loved it as did we. So beautiful, so safe and Grace is a wonderful polite host. Will absolutely be returning!
  • Outstanding!!!! Such a warm and friendly host, and just a perfect, quiet, wooded spot with lots of room to play. Our puppy especially enjoyed playing in the clear stream. Our absolute favorite Sniffspot!
  • this place is just wonderful! We love it so much!
  • The mini forest is awesome. Spent the time mostly "in the mountain" up the hill. Daisy spent more time exploring the fern forest.
  • Polly had such a wonderful time and loved saying hi to the goats! Will definitely be back :)
  • What a fantastic place !!!! Our smooth Fox terrier had such a great time running up the hill and around the paths! Such a peaceful place with benches and a mixture between open grass and trees! Can’t wait to come back to this welcoming place !
  • Wow! This is such an amazing space! Our puppy had a blast exploring the many trails and had her first swim in the creek! (This was excellent, as she also discovered she loved mud). 😂 She also loved the agility equipment! We loved the picnic spot and it was just such a peaceful, idyllic setting where we felt comfortable and safe working on her off leash training. Grace was such a kind host! Lots of sweet extra touches and all the amenities you could want - and more - for a space like this! We wish we lived closer, but this is worth the trek for us from Seattle! So fun! Thank-you, Grace!
  • A beautiful wooded spot with plenty of room to run, sniff, throw the ball or let the pups wade in the creek. My friend and I brought a lunch, and were grateful to find picnic tables. We booked for 90 minutes and afterward thought 2 hours would have been better... An hour for the dogs and an hour for a more leisurely lunch ;) We appreciated the special touches as well as the latrine. Grace was a lovely, thoughtful host.
  • Beautiful area and very sweet host. My pup came back home exhausted from all the fun she had
  • This SniffSpot is absolutely amazing... or as the dogss would say, AMAZEBALLS! There is so much room to roam in a very secure area. If you've ever wanted to go hiking with your dogs but have been hesitant to let them off leash, this is the perfect spot to test them out. The property is beautiful and truly feels like you're out in the wilderness. There's a shallow creek for the dogs to splash in and so much to explore. The dogs (and I) absolutely loved it. Host, Grace was so generous, kind, and pleasant. What a truly special place. 🥰
  • This was our first Sniff Spot with our two large dogs. We had a blast! The girls are tired out now and the tails were wagging the entire hour. We will definitely make this part of our routine. Grace was friendly, kind, considerate. Thank you for a fabulous experience !
  • Beautiful location, safe and secure, and loads for my dog to explore. Loved this place and all the thoughtful touches!
  • Perfect spot for an off leash hike in the woods. The host was incredibly accommodating, even with us booking the spot at the last minute. Look forward to our next trip back!
  • Absolutely amazing! What a gem of a place. It was about an hour’s drive from Seattle, but worth it for all the fun the dogs had!
  • This was a wonderful experience! Beautiful and peaceful location! We will definitely be back!
  • Love this place, a lot of personalized details made me and Beemo feel extra welcome. The place is very easy to find w/ clear directions, and once you arrive the property itself is spacious, quiet, and private with lots of paths in the woods. Beemo and I had plenty of sticks to play fetch with, which made 90 minutes fly by. Will be back again.
  • I take my dog here at least once a week and we love it here. Grace is an amazing host and the area is great for my dog who is trapped in a suburban area . We will continue to come here whenever we can !
  • Had an amazing time at the mini forest! My deaf, reactive dog Sisko really enjoyed being able to have a stress free, exploratory walk, and was able to try off leash walking for the first time!
  • Fabulous sniff spot with wetlands, stream, fish ladder, mini mountain, and lots of exploring.
  • Such a great spot and the host is so thoughtful! From the cute welcome sign to the treat left for ziggy. Will be back :)
  • Great spot with a variety of trails and a creek to make one happy dirty dog! Very personable host with thoughtful touches. Nice spots to sit and talk as well. Even has an out house! We would definitely book again!
  • Amazing space and tons of personal touches! Our dogs had an amazing time exploring and letting off some steam while we stayed in a hotel during a remodel.
  • This place is awesome! Loved the flowing creek as my dogs love to play in the water and in the summer it will be a great place to cool off. The trails are great and we had a blast! We will definitely be back. The host is so kind and sweet and all the little extras were amazing.
  • I have visited many Sniffspots - this one is a can’t miss, super easy mini road trip, and fun for both dogs and their people! We enjoyed a 90 minute visit but could have happily enjoyed walking the trails or lounging in the seating areas all day. Can’t wait to visit again. Super great trails, not nearly as muddy as expected for Spring, neat to see the cabins and all the great host set ups that make this space great for dogs - agility, sniffs, toys, water, tree stumps, creek! Seriously had such a fun time. Thank you for being a wonderful host! Fully fenced and secure for our lil escape artists. Will be back!!
  • Me and my pups LOVED this amazing place. Grace is the best host we’ve encountered, she sure makes you feel welcomed. The place is gorgeous, with trails and lots of areas for dogs to sniff around. The small river was a hit for our pups, I used to say my dog is not a water dog and she didn’t want to get out! I strongly recommend this amazing place.
  • Easy to find the spot from the road thanks to the sniff spot logo on a sign. My dogs loved exploring the property. There are lots of trails to explore and some open areas perfect for fetch.
  • This was a great sniff spot to visit. I will definitely be back. The host was so kind to us. When we arrived we had our name on a board welcoming us. It made us feel special! Thank you so much for having us!
  • The boys loved it again! A fun alternative for a rainy day.
  • A favorite spot and the host is so wonderful. Can’t wait to go back.
  • We had the best time at the Mini-Forest! It's a wonderful area to hike around and there are some more open spots to play. There were water bowls, poop bags, bug spray (we didn't need it but I bet the bugs will come with warmer weather), and toys. There were even some foam hoops to jump through! Everything is well-signed. The host greeted us on arrival and said goodbye on our way out. She was so nice! We could hear her pups barking in the house only when we were at our car. We saw goats, but they are well fenced in. We heard some dogs barking and a rooster crowing in the far off distance. This was our first experience at a Sniff Spot and we feel so spoiled. What a special place :) We will definitely be coming back (we're already booked)!
  • Great place to bring your dog, Beautiful private area in the woods, our dog had a blast running and playing fetch with his ball, he slept all the way home. We definitely will be back
  • We love it! Everyone (people to chickens to goats) are so nice. They have a mini obstacle course so dogs can practice agility and a creek too!
  • Gorgeous property that is very well maintained. Lots of space for my two corgis to roam, sniff, decompress, and discover different smells. They especially enjoyed meeting the goats. Plenty of toys, water for pups, dog bowls, waste bags, hand sanitizer, and even treats provided at the end of our visit.
  • This place is absolutely magical. My doggo and I had such a good time. It was like a mini hike without the anxiety of seeing another dog (my dog is reactive). He played in the water and ran around the forest. The host was amazing. I wish we lived closer so we could visit this more often. The area is well kept. I was impressed with the finishing touches.
  • Piper had an absolute blast! There’s so many areas to explore on this property and she was able to run to her hearts content. We will definitely be back!
  • Wonderful place to bring your dogs!
  • We had a great time! So much space to play and explore, and Grace was very welcoming. Thanks so much!
  • It was awesome as always! We had a GREAT afternoon there! Thank you!
  • Grace was an exceptional host! She was was very warm and welcoming. Sophia had an absolute blast running around and taking in all of the smells. 10/10 would recommend! :) Can’t wait to come back.
  • A wonderful and peaceful spot, with lots of little nooks and crannies to explore. The fence was secure, and the place was quiet--it was perfect for my reactive dog. And, as others have posted, Grace is a kind and thoughtful host.
  • awesome as always 😁 Grace also provides doggy towels if needed so don’t be afraid to let your pups get all muddy!
  • We love the openness of their property.
  • Grace was a wonderful host and showed my husband and I around the front part of the property. The hike up to the mini forest is wonderful and my pups went absolutely wild running all over the area. It is nice and secluded once you hike up the hill. Can't wait to let my two get all their energy out up here again!
  • An absolutely beautiful property with so much to explore. Very well maintained and clean. Despite a ton of rain lately, almost no muddy patches. Beautiful forest-like setting. Will be back soon!
  • Host was super friendly gave us the rundown of how it works and what to do. The area is super beautiful. Our dogs had a lot of fun running up and down, they never got tired of exploring. Will definitely make this a regular spot.
  • Awesome experience Grace is a true professional and made sure our experience was perfect. Sniff spot was huge with lots of hills and open terrain to tire out the pups we will be coming back.
  • Grace was so sweet! Had our names up on a welcome sign along with toys and balls, water for the pup, stickers and more. Awesome space where Bodhi was fully secure and had a blast. Will be coming back!
  • Beautiful property with lots of interesting things for the dogs to explore. Gracious host.
  • We had such an amazing experience! Grace was more than welcoming and so helpful. She left lots of toys and water for the pup :)
  • This spot is lovely, and Grace is the sweetest host! Unfortunately the weather was not in our favor today, but we will definitely be back on a day when it's not raining/hailing. Grace has balls, water, and treats right outside the gate, and a little welcome sign for the guests (such a thoughtful touch!). The trails through the woods are great for exploring and romping through, and the digs loved scoping out farm animals they don't normally see. We can't wait to come back!
  • Incredible spot - beautiful, secure, and stimulating! I took a ball for fetch, but my pup was so entertained by the sights and smells of the forest that we didn't bother with the ball. My dog loves going on hikes and this was that vibe, but off-leash and I don't think I've ever seen him happier.
  • The sweetest, kindest host! We loved exploring around, it was raining and it still was super enjoyable and fun. Our pup was absolutely thrilled to be running around through the mud. She also left us a cute little treat on a car!
  • Such a fun, easy, and beautiful spot! Grace is a fabulous host!
  • What a wonderful place to visit! I met a friend here and our 3 dogs had a blast. Our host was so sweet and I even came home w 6 fresh eggs. A perfect morning activity for us!
  • My first outing to a SniffSpot with my 22 month old Doberman. What a fantastic place... great host who made us feel very welcome. Lots of area to run and explore. Which Skye did at 25.3 mph the whole time! Will be coming back and recommending to all my dog owning friends!! Thank you so much!
  • So beautiful! I drove a hour to check it out and it was so worth it. My dog had a blast. The host is so kind! We’ll definitely be back :)
  • Amazing!! Perfect forest walking around environment within a safe zone! Grace was a wonderful host!! We will be back!
  • What an absolute wonderland of a property and a real peach of a host, as well. 10/10, can’t say enough good things! And thanks for the treats!!
  • Loved it here!! Definitely plan on coming back sometime 😀
  • This is our 2nd visit and it was just as wonderful as last time.
  • as always, it’s wonderful to spend some time in Grace’s mini forest
  • Plenty of space for dogs to run and explore. Grace was a delightful and thoughtful host. Dogs are tired, everyone is happy. Will be coming back again soon!
  • Beautiful spot, so much space to explore! Grace is a wonderful and accommodating host. She had clean toys and fresh water, a whiteboard with our names welcoming us, and she even left little (human and doggie) treats for us at the end. Thanks for a great time!
  • Amazing spot! The attention to detail and warmth of the host made this a fantastic day. We will be back!
  • This was by far the best sniffspot I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to at least a dozen. It sincerely blew me away. It’s a gorgeous property and the host Grace was amazing and sweet. She even had a welcome sign with our names on it! So cute! Plenty of space for fetch, and a great way to hike/walk safely with your pet. We loved it and are already booking our next trip out. It’s an hour away from us and totally worth it. My only wish is that I booked it for longer than 1.5 hours. That’s how pretty it is. Great in any weather I’d imagine, but make sure to bundle up if you’re going soon. Again, I can’t recommend this one enough.
  • We are so grateful to be able to go to this beautiful spot. The hosts are so kind and gracious. We decompress with our dog and take home good feelings in our hearts.
  • We had a great time! Niko had lots of room to explorer and we even got a little exercise in hiking the trails. Grace left little goodies for us and even provided toys and poop bags. Definitely my favorite spot so far!
  • Fun spot, dogs enjoyed the visit, lots of areas to explore. Hilly, trees, very good fence. Dogs are tired.
  • This was our second time at Grace’s Sniffspot, and it was still as amazing as it was the first time! Our dog, Murphy, enjoyed running around and sniffing and zooming everywhere. And Grace left us some chocolate and a treat for Murph when we got back to the car - amazing as always!! We will definitely be back again!
  • I had an amazing time and so did my dogs too! Grace was so sweet and even left treats for us. Lots of space for the dogs and lots of trash cans provided for poop bags. One of my dogs is anxious and Grace was very understanding of that. I can’t wait to go back 😊
  • the best ! we love the farm animals- they are not close to where the sniffspot area begins which we appreciate, but we still love saying hello to them 🥰
  • Amazing!! My two aussies loved it here. Grace was super nice and inviting! We came too early since we weren’t familiar with the area and she was super understanding. We are definitely coming back!
  • Always a fun way to spend the morning. Paisley loves it here!
  • Grace was so nice! I felt very comfortable and she thought of everything. There was fresh drinking water for the dogs and when we left I found she left our treats for my dogs AND me! After running around for an hour, I welcomed the treat and so did my dogs of course. It is the coolest Sniffspot I’ve been to. Will be back!
  • Such an amazing spot and grace was so kind! The toys, dog water and treats at the end were such a thoughtful touch. We loved it and will definitely be back!
  • our favorite sniffspot! always provides toys, treats and a beautiful property 😊
  • Such a great visit! The forest is well fenced, even at the creek running through. The hills are really steep, so be warned! I wore hiking boots, anything less would have been iffy. Grace greeted us and said goodbye as we left. There were pleanty of bags (we brought our own) and toys to use (pups were too busy sniffing!).
  • This is our favorite spot! It's a few miles off the beaten path, so be patient driving there, because it's so worth the trip. The dogs love it, the acreage and little paths to meander on are in great shape. The dogs love being able to romp in the water as well! Thank you for sharing your acreage with us!
  • Wonderful, gracious, and welcoming host. The added touch of the welcome sign and all the available toys to play with made it all a really great first time experience for us! Definitely recommend this location, not only for the host, but for the beauty and spacious room to run and play!
  • This is a wonderful place to visit. Plenty of room for our dogs to run and sniff. We also like playing hide and seek with them here since there are lots of places to hide.
  • This place was great and our dogs loved it. We appreciated how much space was available and the property was beautiful.
  • We love Grace and her Mini mountain! Another great trip this morning to tire out Mr G for Christmas!
  • wonderful!
  • Awesome place!! 4-month old blue heeler had soo much fun off leash exploring! Very kind and generous host :)! Will definitely be back!
  • This spot is amazing! Kole and I had the best time wandering around on and off the trails. I can’t wait to go back!
  • Grace was so kind and thought of everything from all of the essentials for the dogs to have a wonderful time to the sign at the front that welcomed us in. Our boy Bixby and his buddy Logan had such a great time exploring all around this property. We will plan to be back again as this was the perfect area to work on his recall. Thank you so very much Grace 😊
  • Beautiful property, Grace was kind and welcoming! The dogs and I had a great time.
  • Getting close to goats is possible but everything's gated up. It's a really awesome space and hike. The host is very nice.
  • This Sniffspot is absolutely beautiful. My young standard poodle had so much fun running around, sniffing, and being a dog. I love when I can give him as much freedom as possible, yet knowing that he is safe, and this Sniffspot was absolutely great for it. It was fully fenced, no thorny bushes. Grace was wonderful. Very welcoming and kind. We definitely will be back.
  • This is our favorite spot by far. It is secure, safe, and has lots to do water grass hills woods. Our pack loves it they start crying with excitement when we get close. Thank you Grace
  • Absolute best sniff spot we have ever been to! Fully fenced with lots of options and nooks to explore. The host could not have been more kind, we were greeted with a personalized sign and found treats on our car on the way out. My 3 dogs had a blast exploring and are sleeping like angels now. We will definitely be back!
  • Grace's place is magical for our pups, and Grace is lovely as always -- the dogs ran and played to their hearts' content. We'll definitely be back!
  • I LOVE this spot. My dogs LOVE LOVE LOVE it too. There are farm animals nearby so if you have a pup that may react, ask to drive past the gate (and close it) then keep your dogs leashed as you walk up the hill. Once you are up the hill, the goats are out of sight and nose range (for my pups anyway). I was reluctant to take my older dog since he likes to herd goats, but he did just fine...there were so many other smells that he wasn't tempted to run down the hill. He is well trained and has great recall, so that helps.
  • We loved this sniff spot, there is so much space to run around and explore. Grace went above and beyond to make us feel welcome with a personalized welcome sign and showed us around briefly when we got there. Our pup loved seeing the goats. The fence between the sniffspot and the rest of the yard has a gap that was big enough for our pup to get through but the double fencing kept our pup secure and made for a fun stress-free visit. We will DEFINITELY be back!
  • Grace is a wonderful host. The property is beautiful even on this rainy day. It really is a forest of cedars, maple trees and enough paths for a good walk. Our dog loved the freedom. We look forward to our next visit.
  • We had the best time!! The mini forest is magical and the dogs were so happy! Can’t wait to come in the spring with a picnic! Grace left goodies for dogs and humans that were much appreciated! Thank you for making us feel so welcome!
  • Bosco and I really enjoyed hiking around the property. The directions got us here easily. There is a cool little creek running through and a handful of cute cabins for rent as well! The owner came out to meet us and was very sweet, they even left a little treat on the car for Bosco and I after our adventure. We will be heading back to camp someday!
  • Very generous host and beautiful property! Our dogs had the best time! And the goats were really fun to watch 💕
  • Grace made us feel so welcome! Hand sanitizer and doggie bags were available and a personalized little sign at the gate. She came out to give us directions and off we went! I think this was the happiest I have seen Luna, and she easily would have stayed longer. She had the time of her life. Luna was a bit interested passing the goats on the way in, but no big deal on the way out. The mini forest felt like a world a way and there was no shortage of interesting things to sniff. It was so beautiful and relaxing. Wear shoes with good grip if you go when it is wet as there are some steep parts, I had no trouble with my hiking shoes though. There was a little goodie bag with a milkbone and some sweets waiting for us at the gate on our way out. I wish we lived closer so we could come here all the time, but we will definitely be back!
  • We always have a great time here, and Grace is always so gracious and welcoming.
  • The owner of the property is so sweet! They have water and bowls ready for the pups! As well as balls treats hand sanitizer bug spray, designated parking and they even direct you where to go to enter the sniff spot! Plus they have goats that are too cute and are curious about your pups!! I will be coming here more often!
  • Oh my gosh, we just love it here!! Grace is the most amazing hostess...so responsive to messages and incredibly attentive to her guests in every way. We included a message with our reservation and Grace responded right away. Upon arriving we found a sweet personalized greeting on a dry eraser board and a variety of toys. We felt so welcome! The spot itself is gorgeous...a huge woodsy area with lots of trails and a creek. Cooper and I both had such an amazing time! When we got back to the car we found a little treat for both of us on the car door and it made us both so happy on the long drive home. Really outstanding experience all around and we cannot wait to be back. Thank you Grace!!! ♥
  • Great sniff spot. Our dog loves checking out the wetlands, chasing squirrels up trees and bouncing through the ferns. Extra balls and water always available just in case. Thanks Grace !
  • We had another great time! This place is is a little slice of Heaven for dogs and their people!
  • Kodak had a blast chasing his ball through the leaves. Not to much mud. He even enjoyed a morning swim❤️
  • We love coming to this paradise in the woods and Grace is a warm and welcoming host.
  • This place is heaven for dog and dog owners! Grace was so wonderfully hospitable and gracious. We had such an unbelievably fantastic experience and cannot wait to come back.
  • We had an amazing time even in the rain. The site is clean, open and absolutely beautiful. Our crew loved all the safe space to zoom around. Grace is warm, friendly, and left several touches touches to make our time there special. We will definitely be recommending this spot to our friends and returning again soon.
  • Perfect slice of dog heaven! Will be back for sure! My dogs had so much fun!
  • Absolutely beautiful property and amazing host. Will book again and highly recommend. We had another amazing time as always
  • My fur babies really loved exploring the woods and taking a dip in the water!
  • My dogs loved running around here!
  • A lovely walk in the woods! Great smell walk for our pup.
  • This was our second time at the mini hike. It is far and away one of the best spots for dogs that need a fenced area. There is mixed terrain - trails, trees, even a small creek at the entrance and enough space for your dogs to explore freely and securely out of your sight. The property is well maintained and Grace, the host is very friendly and welcoming. I’m kinda picky about Sniffspots but this place is a real charmer. Wish it was closer to Seattle but we made a day of it with a drive around the Skagit Valley.
  • We all love coming to Grace’s mini forest! So fun to be in the woods and still feel secure in knowing that even if we can’t see Sadie each moment, she’s safe.
  • The mini forest is just gorgeous, especially this time of year! We spotted a big owl today high up in the enormous trees. Our dogs ran all over the meadows, they the trails and played in the creek too. Thank you for the fun treats at the end of our beautiful walk!!
  • My pup Birdie and I had such a great time here. Lots of birds singing and very peaceful vibes. A great mix of trees and shade with open meadowy spots for rest. We’ll definitely be back. Birdie was so happy with the trails and creeks that she had zero interest in toys for the full two hours we were there!
  • Always a great time at Grace's mini forest!
  • Great place to sniff around, feels like a mini forest. We had good time. Grace was very welcoming.
  • What a lovely forest for my pup to romp in and explore, and Grace was so thoughtful, friendly, and gracious. We’ll be back for sure!
  • This was our first experience with Sniffspot and it exceed our expectations! Our babies had so much fun and so did we. The place is so beautiful! We can wait to come back!
  • This sniffspot is outstanding. The grounds are well-maintained and private. Grace goes the extra mile to make sure visitors have a good experience. If you're on the fence about visiting this spot, consider this your sign to reserve some time. We can't wait to return!
  • We had the best time at Grace’s Sniffspot. She was so gracious and her property was so fun to romp around with our pups. Can’t wait to come back! Our dogs could slip under the fence in some places so be sure to put on a leash near the entrance if you’re not worried about that.
  • This place is awesome. The people are nice and welcoming. The property is beautiful and the fencing is 100% secure. There are trails, hills, open places and beautiful small streams for your dog to swim in. This was our dogs first time off leash in the woods. It was the perfect place to see how she would do. She loved it and after we saw how well it was fenced, we didn't worry at all about her safety! We can't wait to get back there!
  • Lovely spot, very welcoming location and host. Thank you!
  • Grace’s sniff spot is a blast! It’s huge, beautiful, and she has such adorable personal touches. My dogs and our friends got lots of running in and went home tired and happy 😊
  • What a beautiful spot! Sadie hasn’t that much fun in awhile. Run run run! We will so be back and thank you.
  • This spot is beautiful, secure and clean! Our host is so kind as well as gracious!
  • I'm pretty sure this is the best Sniffspot ever! My 2 dogs ran their little tails off and had so much fun! There is tons of space here, and so many woodsy areas for the dogs to explore. This place is truly special and unique, like an off leash paradise for dogs. The host (Grace) is very kind, and has added several nice touches to the space.
  • An amazing place for dogs to romp and humans to relax. Our puppy got to practice recall and experience being offleash safely. Would love to come again!
  • Wow. Our pups were overjoyed. Gorgeous and expansive wooded area to explore and run to exhaustion. And Grace is a wonderful and welcoming host. Lots of kind and generous touches. Thank you!
  • This was our second visit and our dog had a blast tearing around the forest. It’s really awesome to give him this opportunity to safely run free in the woods. He was absolutely exhausted after 45 minutes! Grace’s place is a special one and her personal touches are much appreciated
  • We had a wonderful time here, wandering around the woods doing some off lease practice, and playing in the creek. The host, Grace, was very warm, helpful, and non intrusive at all. I even found a dog treat for Cali and a piece of chocolate for me on my car when we were done as treats! The sugar was nice after a long walk. Lots of shade, and it was very clean.very clean.
  • Great property and gracious host. She waited to greet me even though I was 30 minutes late due to traffic. Cool features on the property like a creek and tree house. Outhouse is a plus!
  • We love this sniffspot. It’s one of the few that provides a forest like environment and is enclosed and is big enough to wonder around for a while. And Grace is very nice and has left little personal touches for the visit. Thanks for sharing your wonderful property with us!
  • What a beautiful spot! And Grace made us and our dogs feel very welcome!!
  • This place is amazing. Plenty of space for the dogs to run and the host Grace is kind and helpful.
  • Loved this sniffspot, favorite by far! We came here to test out how our pup does off leash in the forest since we plan on camping and backpacking with him and this provided the perfect environment for that. It’s not often you find a secluded, dog-friendly (and fenced) mini forest park like this one. Grace, the host, is friendly and was really helpful!
  • Four years ago today, handsome Panda arrived in Seattle (from Texas). His Human brought him to the mini forest, one of his favorite places, to celebrate his Gotcha Day. As always, we both had a great time!
  • Our dogs loved running through the mini forest and playing in the creek! Grace was super friendly and we had a lovely experience.
  • What a beautiful place. The stream, shady trees, hiking trails and ferns everywhere made for an excellent stop. We didn't even have enough time explore it all. The picnic table and outhouse were also appreciated. The dogs loved running loose and free. Our kids liked climbing into the tree platform. There were a couple steeps spots on the trail that might cause trouble for those with mobility issues. Huge trees, nurse logs, birds. The host was kind and directions made it easy to find. She even left us dog biscuits and chocolates at the end of our visit. Would definitely come again when we're in the area.
  • This spot is amazing and a private little slice of heaven! The host was great and met us for our first visit to show us where to go. You could hear her dogs barking inside but they were never seen and my dog reactive dog didn't even notice. The property is just beautiful with adequate fencing to keep my 60lb guy contained. There is a great creek at the start of the property that my guy enjoyed playing in. There are cabins around the property that offered plenty of places to stop and take a break. There is a grill and large seating area at the start of the trails. There is also an out house for human potty breaks. No dogs or other animals were seen during our visit. We spent 2.5 hours there and could have done more! When we left the host greeted us with a treat for my dog, treat for humans and a nice sign with our names on it! I can't recommend this spot enough!!! I didn't even get any pictures this visit bc we were just enjoying our time!
  • Fun private location. Fully fenced. Dogs loved running around and doing all the sniffing. Was our first time but will be back!
  • Fantastic property! Grace was so very nice and welcoming both when we arrived and when we were leaving. Loved the welcome sign and goodies and we only booked that day! Our dogs had so much fun! It felt like our own private park, and so cool there’s a little creek which was nice on such a hot day. Definitely will be returning very very soon!
  • This was our first time using sniff spot and we will be back! Beautiful property, the host was sweet as can be. There’s tons of forest area to explore and a nice little creek our dog wouldn’t stay out of. Bonus was the animals on property you can visit with. Can’t wait to book again!
  • Grace and their family property far exceeded our expectations. From first impressions of sanitation station, sign welcoming us by name, and Grace graciously greeting us to the amazing trails filled with amazing sniffs, bird calls, Turkey sounds, and the babbling creeks. Returning to our car to find a treat for our pup and for ourselves was icing on the cake. This location is amazing. I’ve already booked follow ups so I don’t miss out on this popular Sniffspot.
  • This Sniffspot is incredible! We spent 2 hours exploring and were exhausted. It was such a peaceful property and the hosts are so kind. Looking forward to coming back!
  • This was our first experience with sniff spot and it was wonderful. The hosts were very friendly and greeted us to explain how to get the dogs to the fenced area. There were toys for the dogs, but they had so much fun running the trails and playing in the creek, no toys were needed. We got in a decent hike ourselves chasing the dogs. We will definitely be back.
  • This is a great spot with all the elements for our curious hounds! So nice to let them do their thing and not worry about them. Host is gracious and attentive. We've returned and will be back again!
  • Super friendly owner, beautiful venue fully fenced. Goats and horses visible but confined. 10/10 obsessed I will be returning.
  • We needed a safe space to practice recall and off leash walking with our pups. Everything was great and lots of areas to let the dogs explore. I also really liked the areas with benches and that were a bit more enclosed so I could practice with the off leash. Really great spot and the host was really nice. Beautiful and relaxing spot to let the dogs have fun exploring. I also really liked that there wasn’t anything close by like people or other animals that my reactive pup would notice. Great spot over all! Also has outhouses that were really nice in case you stay for awhile. The dogs also liked the little creek to cool off in.
  • Such a great sniffspot! Our second time and definitely not our last!
  • This was a great place to let our pups run and it was nice and shaded in some places with lots of places to sit and watch the dogs run! It is totally fenced which was really nice because we have little dogs! The creek is a real treat too…The water is fresh and clean as the camp loves to swim and play in the water! The host is so sweet and kind! We really enjoyed meeting with Grace! She is AWESOME!
  • the perfect sniffspot, lots of enrichment for the dogs to get tired!
  • This is such a great sniffspot! Grace was so kind in welcoming us and providing helpful things like water for the dogs, hand sanitizer, and toys. She even gave some cookies for the humans and a biscuit for the dog! The land is pretty cool to explore and our dog loved the creek. Our dog doesn't have reliable recall and so we had to keep her on a long lead. Overall, a great experience!
  • Our second visit in about a week. We had more time and loved every minute, exploring more paths and trails. Even got some great family pictures while we were visiting. I'm telling everyone I know to go check it out. Totally worth it, even if you have a small drive to get there.
  • This is such an awesome place. Lots of trails to explore and a creek too. There are outhouses and lots of benches throughout the property. We brought a picnic and our two hours just flew by. We drove from Olympia and it was well worth the drive. Your dog will LOVE it here and so will you.
  • This place is magical! The dogs loved it and so did I! Very peaceful and relaxing!
  • This was a Perfect secure place for me to test my dogs off leash. It was beautiful with grassy Meadows. The trees keep it from being too hot. The dogs seem to really enjoy themselves. The host was friendly and communicative. I will definitely be back. I recommend booking at least an hour so you can enjoy all there is to see.
  • Perfect place to let your dogs roam around off leash & our toddler had fun as well! Highly recommend!
  • We use Sniffspots a few days a week and we will for sure be hitting this one a few times a month. My dogs had the best time and watching them have so much room to run was amazing. This spot is huge and I didnt have to worry about them getting out. The host was amazing and I loved all the welcoming touches. Thank you for such a fun adventure ♡♡♡
  • This visit was heaven! Our girls loved their adventure. Up and down the hills through the forest in and out of the creek. We drove an hour to get here and we will do it again. Amazing experience! Thank you Grace for sharing your fantastic property with our fur babies ❤
  • This was our second visit to our favorite SniffSpot. There are plenty of places to sit and read a book, listen to a podcast or enjoy the beautiful surroundings while your dog is living their best life. Grace is a wonderful host.
  • This was our first time using sniff spot, and all others will now have A LOT to live up to! This place was AMAZING. Grace greeted us when we got there, with a personalized sign for our party, balls for the pups, water, hand sani, and a chuck-it stick. She gave us all the details and then left us to frollock - and frollock we did! The spot was awesome - so many little trails through the woods, lush grass, beautiful ferns. Little pockets of meadows that the pups had fun running around in. The space felt big but not too big that your dog wouldn’t be able to hear you if they wandered off. And totally fenced! The creek running through was a nice meeting spot for cooling down in - my dog got zoomies in it, haha. There are some goats and a horse in a fenced area that your dogs can go up and say hi to - my dog stuck his nose through and booped noses with one of them! Ha! He had never met one before! And when we got back to our car there was a little bag with treats for the pups and humans. 20/10 sniff spot, We will be back!
  • Grace is a kind and welcoming host. She’s thought of all the little details including human/dog treats, water, poop bags, and even a personalized sign for our visit! My pup wore himself out exploring the forest and creek. We will definitely be back.
  • wonderful visit. perfect place for an outing. broght a picnic lunch and loved exploring while the dogs played!!
  • What a beautiful place! The pups had a great time romping up and down the "mountain" and cooling off in the creek. Grace greeted us upon arrival and was so nice. She had lots of supplies available (from poop bags, to sanitizer, to toys) and even had a little sign made up greeting us. My one dog did sneak back up to the front part of the property at one point but the fencing was quite secure. My only caution would be that if you have a visually impaired pup as i do, or one the runs without looking, to keep a lead on as there are a few steep areas they can stumble down- although the landing would be fairly soft. Bottom line: clean, welcoming, safe and a beautiful chunk of the PNW. Thank you!
  • All the positive reviews are spot on! This spot is so secure and was so fun for our pup, Charlie. The trails kept us all busy. Grace has really thought of everything and was so kind. We will definitely be back again, and we highly recommend this spot!
  • Still our favorite. A lovely piece of property—so peaceful and fun for dogs to explore. And the kids enjoyed wading in the creek. Thanks again!
  • This is a very interesting property with a diversity of terrain that offers good exercise and mental stimulation for dogs. Wear hiking boots or shoes with good traction for the steep parts. Because the property is 9 acres and has a mini-forest, there are areas where you may lose sight of your dog at least temporarily if they go off exploring. We kept our dogs on leash for our initial visit as they don't have good recall. On or off leash, this is a nice environment to spend quality time with your canine best friend(s.) Grace was very welcoming and we enjoyed our visit!
  • Our favorite Sniffspot for many reasons!
  • Sniff Spot sign made it easy to spot the location! drove thru the shorf driveway and was greeted by the friendliest host! She let me know where to proceed to the sniff spot, and even provided optional toys, water and poop bags! There is an enclosure you pass where there are goats and a horse. They are secure. My pup was very curious as shes never met a goat or horse, but we proceeded to the sniffspot. There was ample room to explore, and great for working on off leash hiking with your dog!! we chose a warm day, but once we discovred the beautiful creek we were able to cool off. All the trees provided shade and helped us keep cool during our explorations. Its a beautiful property, and our favorite part was playing in the creek!! Really great place to practice with your dog and so many cool trails to check out. On our way out, we stopped by and practiced daying hi to the goats from a safe distance. Overall great experience and such a kind host. My dog is currently tuckered out and snoring next to me.
  • Thanks Grace for a wonderful reprieve from today’s heat. Lil enjoyed drinking from the cold river and we enjoyed your pristine, cool wilderness. I especially enjoyed listening to far off sounds of goats and chickens! Thanks for introducing yourself and explaining the layout of your spot.
  • This is an amazing SniffSpot. Grace is so friendly and warm. She provided a cute welcom sign and some treats for us and our pup. The entire property is fenced so we didnt have to worry about other dogs. We loved wandering the trails and checking out the different cabins. Mosley loved playing in the water. We even got to help socialize Mosely with the goats in a safe environment. I was also excited to buy a dozen fresh eggs which I never get to do living in the city. We are looking forward to our next visit to this SniffSpot and we will make sure to say HELLO to Grace. 🙂
  • Amazing property, the dogs loved it! Peaceful and a wonderful host.
  • Great visit as always! Wish we could have stayed longer but we’re trying to take it easy with our pup and a leg injury that’s on the mend.
  • Wonderful spot that totally tired even the most energetic dog out. Grace was kind and I loved all her personal touches (the welcome sign and post hike treats). We even saw a deer on the trail! Quiet, tranquil, and perfect.
  • Lovely spot! We stopped by the goats on the way in and the pugs were facinated, the goats seemed to be as well 😂. We hiked all around in the wooks and had a picnic by the creek, while out pups played in the water. Loved the welcome and the treats for our hungry boys. Above and beyond location and attention to detail from the host.
  • This is truly one of my favorite spots. It's like a little fairytale forest just an hour from Seattle. It feels SAFE which is very important to me after experiencing several dog attacks on hiking trails, Double Bluff, and at dog parks. I have two athletic dogs who need a lot of exercise plus brain enrichment. This spot is perfect! It's fully fenced, incredibly peaceful for me, and a lot of smells and obstacles for my pups. Also, Grace is an amazing host! One word of caution...on the way to the sniffspot entrance, you have to walk by a fenced pasture with goats and a horse - the goats are super friendly while the horse mostly ignores us. However, if your dog is reactive to farm animals, it's best to keep them leashed until you get over the hill and away from sight and smells of the pasture buddies.
  • My dogs had a great time! We all enjoyed the treats left for us by our host! We will defiantly be back, as there is plenty to explore.
  • Great spot. Walked up to see the rental cabin. I goofed on the time and we showed up early but we were able to go in
  • Magical spot and lovely host! We felt so welcome, and our pups had a blast.
  • Thank you Grace for providing a wonderful, woodsy and delightful space. We have great fun playing hide and seek and wandering through the trees. The only issue we had is the gap under the gate. Next time we will bring some way to guard against an escape! Thank you!
  • thank you for providing us with so much during our play!
  • Outstanding! Doggo wonderland. Property is easy to access, plenty of parking, trails are clear, tons of forest, meadow and creek for hours of fun. The few farm animals behind a fence provided an excellent training opportunity for my reactive pup. Super welcoming and friendly place. We'll be back soon.
  • such a great space for the pups to play!
  • My dog and his fur friends had a balst running up and down the hills and exploring the trail. Very well maintained and fully fenced in. Water, Poop bags, and treats were provided by the host. Easy to communicate with the host and she is very friendly :)
  • The owners are lovely and so thoughtful when you visit. Great spot for your dog to explore, Our son loves the treehouse too :)
  • Absolutely incredible location! The hike up the steep mountain is totally worth the gorgeous open areas for playing with your dogs. The stream is perfect for cooling off and washing off the mud from the adjacent mudpit. The dogs were very happy and tired!
  • my husband and I met the owner and she was very sweet! The property was perfect for out dog. we will definitely be coming back!
  • This property is amazing! The host was super nice and sweet :) Definitely will be back
  • This spot is incredible! The pups loved romping in the creek, exploring some trails, and getting muddy! There are some very steep areas and a few parts that could become slippery after rain. Grace was so kind and greeted us and showed us the area. We had a blast and can't wait to return! Thank you!!
  • Grace is always amazing, she goes above and beyond. my dog LOVES it there ! He was running and jumping around with joy , getting more confident playing in the water and exploring all the trails. highly reccomend !!
  • Another great visit! This is definitely our favorite sniff spot, already booked again. Lots of space to run off leash and fully fenced so don't have to worry as we work on recall. I forgot to bring water and a bowl this time but Host had water and a bowl available, very thoughtful. Thanks again for sharing your lovely property, we look forward to many future visits.
  • The best spot ever! Awesome host and very big area for pup to run around in.
  • Wonderful experience for our dogs being off leash in such a lovely place. The various clearings with seating, trails, creek wandering all over. Grace was friendly and helpful.
  • This sniffspot is incomparable to any other! It is so much fun for everyone, and kept so clean! Host provides drinking water and toys for dogs, we love it here!
  • 10/10 would recommend! We thoroughly enjoyed our time there- our dogs are completely exhausted! The property is absolutely gorgeous... there’s so much to explore! Grace was an amazing host as well and hope to book again in the near future!
  • My family had a wonderful Mother’s Day exploring this beautiful property with all of our dogs! Awesome host! Thank you so much!!
  • Dogs had a great time. We started off walking through the forest trail and ended our time in the creek. Thanks for having us. We'll be back.
  • Super easy to find, clearly marked parking spot and entry into area. Grace is delightful and spoils her guests with balls to throw for the doggies and access to her cute goats for a visit. No need to bring water for doggies, there is a beautiful stream running thru. The gorgeous woodland is an amusement park for dogs and very special spot for nature lovers. It is nicely secluded and private with many different areas to explore, an absolute treasure! We’ll be back with a picnic and more time to spend VERY soon!
  • Grace is an incredibly sweet and considerate host! She had a welcome sign, greeted us, navigated us through the property and even gave us treats for the ride home! She is truly the best! The space is amazing, so many trails to follow. My dogs had such a blast!
  • Grace is super understanding and an amazing, hospitable host!
  • This was our second time at this spot and our dog absolutely loved it. He ran around like crazy and even jumped in the water today - he is not a water dog. Tired himself out in about 45 minutes and let us know he was ready to go. we love it here so much that we booked our next visit while still there. Thank you Grace for sharing your little piece of heaven with us!!!
  • We loved this Sniffspot! Grace was such a gracious host and made us feel very welcome when we arrived. The property was huge and had tons of space for my dog and I to roam around for 2 solid hours. It was also the perfect place for us to practice our trail manners in a safe environment. Per the listing’s description we did hear gunshots from the neighboring properties (hunting! Don’t worry!) and it was an amazing training opportunity for us. We will definitely be back!
  • Always such a fun place to visit
  • awesome visit! dogs loved playing in the creek and running around the area. We didn't take advantage of the hiking (steep hill persuaded us to be lazy LOL) but will hike during our next trip. Definitely marking this as a favorite!
  • It's worth the drive! Bring a picnic and stay a few hours. This place has it all. Trails, fields, a shallow stream, picnic benches and port a potties! Kai and I had a lovely sunny visit today and took advantage of all there is to offer here.
  • New favorite sniff spot!! This is a dog’s paradise!
  • Absolutely beautiful and fully-fenced spot. Was a joy to kill a couple of hours tromping around with a very happy dog. Plenty of incline to play uphill fetch and there's even a small creek if your pup is inclined to take a dip. Some goats visible right when you first enter which was a non-issue for us and you can hear the occasional barn fowl. No people other than our very friendly and accommodating host. Would heartily recommend and encourage you to pack some bug spray on overcast days 💛
  • this is our favorite spot! there is so much to do for my dogs, and lots of places for me to relax! our favorite sniffspot
  • Amazing as usual!!
  • This place is one of a kind ! We spent 2 hours exploring this special spot . Our 8 month old puppy told us this was the best day ever. He chased butterflies and ran until we made him leave . Our only regret was not bringing a picnic. Grace is a kind and considerate host who clearly wants to provide a unique sniffspot experience for all dogs and their owners !
  • exactly what my pup needed forested area to snoop around . perfect quiet lots of places for fur parents to rest also . Definetly wear sturdy shoes the terrain is mountside with lots of uneven surface . Chance will be back ❣️
  • This Sniffspot is absolutely wonderful! Grace was very communicative & accommodating. The space is perfect. We had so much fun running around in the woods & splashing in the creek. Thank you for sharing this GEM with us 💚 We’ll be back :)
  • Another wonderful time at the Sniffspot. I have a reactive dog and it works out well for her to get to know people in an outdoor, open environment where she is off leash. We were able to do that today at this beautiful spot and celebrate my birthday with my best friend, while our dog ran pell mell and had a blast. I got a lovely surprise on my way out. Our hosts gave me a birthday card with my dog’s photo, dog bone Cookies and chocolates for all humans. Our favorite Sniffspot.
  • Great spot to bring your dogs! Easy to get to, many little trails to explore, and my dogs ran non-stop for the full hour. So nice to have a place to let your dogs off leash and not have to worry about running into anybody. We will be back again!
  • Amazing. We were first greeted and given directions to the back by Grace. Grace is such a lovely person, her care and hospitality make this visit even better. Our reactive pup loved the forest walk/hike, and of course- the river🥰! We visited on a rainy day so I recommend wearing boots and bringing a towel to dry off your pup. We will be back FOR SURE ❤️.
  • Grace’s place is paradise for our pups — they start wiggling their tails off as soon as we pull into her driveway! So much variety for romping and sniffing—they explored every single acre of terrain today and then were too tired to jump back into the car at the end :) Grace as always is such a wonderful, thoughtful host — we cant wait to come back.
  • We all had a great time! Thank you so much for the great wecome and treats, both for the humans and the dogs :)
  • This spot sets the bar for all other sniffspots! Our puppy had a blast here. Grace met us as we parked the car and showed us the location of the entrance to the sniffspot. We booked more visits on the drive back home.
  • My dog loved this place. Great trails and very fun to explore. I would definitely come back. The owner is so sweer and gave great instructions and left a treat bag for us!
  • We had a great time on our first visit today -- all four dogs had a blast! They raced around, sniffed all the smells from previously occupants and splashed in the creek. The description was right on the money and the host Grace was lovely to us. It was well worth the drive from Seattle.
  • Beautiful day. Grace was very helpful when I couldn’t connect to my Sniffspot app. Every time we go, there is some new improvement made and it’s always fun to discover what it might be.
  • What a lovely spot for dogs and humans. Our dog was so happy exploring, running and jumping through the forest. We will definitely be back, maybe wirh a picnic lunch next time!
  • This is our second time visiting here ! and, I brought some friends with us this time. I live in Seattle. one hour driving is totally worth it! We are coming back 🐶❤️
  • This Spot was super worth the trip! The customer service was very nice and the property was exactly what my Catahoula pupp needed! I will definitely be back.
  • Amazing! This is such a beautiful sniffspot! Grace goes above and beyond to make her guests feel welcome. We were greeted with a warm welcome, a quick tour, and a very sweet welcome sign on the gate that had our names on it. The dog amenities were great—water, toys, bags, and even treats for humans and dogs! The property is gorgeous. Lots of benches to sit and relax, good trail loops, and an awesome fire pit area with a picnic table. Moose LOVED this spot and the hosts really thought of every detail to make our visit special. Thank you!
  • Always a great experience here, and downright magical when the sun is shining ✨
  • The "girls" and I brought friends on this visit. They loved the place and we all agreed to bring a thermos of coffee and a snack for the next visit! The farm animals are a fun bonus!
  • Beautiful forrest. Lots of trails and open areas, big hill, creek and 2 out houses. Hosts wonderful.
  • Such a wonderful space! My dog loved running up and down the trails and exploring all of the different spaces. Grace put a lot of thought into our visit, with a personalized sign welcoming us and a dog and human goodie bag. There was water for our dog, a ball thrower, and a poop bag by the entrance. We will definitely be back!
  • a very special spot!
  • Absolutely amazing sniffspot. Huge(!) and gorgeous area with amazing forest. Our dog was unbelievably excited, we had a fantastic time. Grace is a great host!
  • A great little trail network.
  • Grace is simply wonderful!!! She is an amazing host. Their spot is fully fenced (thank goodness)! I can’t say enough wonderful things about them and their spot.
  • Such a great host and a wonderful piece of property. Our puppies had such a fun time exploring!
  • Wow. What a magical experience. We will absolutely be coming back again and again! The property is huge and my puppy and I loved getting to explore it! The creek is beautiful, and it was fun for my puppy to see the goats and horse inside their pen. The property has tons of quiet spots to sit and relax, including chairs, benches, and a peaceful meadow. It was a perfect environment to practice trail walking in the woods. We were greeted warmly, provided with water, poop bags, hand sanitizer, and given chocolate & a dog treat on our way out! We can’t thank you enough for this incredible spot!
  • We love this spot! It was our first time here and we ran a little late, but the host was super accommodating and allowed us extra time! The property is huge and has so much for the pups to do. There is water for swimming and so much room to run! We were also left treats at the end and provided poop bags, we will be back!:)
  • We so admire and love your place. I can honestly say our dogs are the happiest at your sniff spot. As always thank you for sharing
  • When we sre about 2 miles away, my dog realizes it and becomes overcome with joy. This sniffspot is the best.
  • WOW awesome visit, awesome Sniffspot! Grace greeted us when we arrived to be sure we knew where we were going, then set us free in the mini forest. We booked 2 hours to be sure we had enough time to explore and I'm so glad we did! Our dog is still learning how to be a trail dog, so it was great to clip on his drag line and practice recall and trail manners without worrying about running into other dogs. This will also be a great place for curated dog playgroups this summer. We'll be back!!
  • Riley had such a great time running off leash. The property is fully fenced so I was able to let him run off leash and explore. Was a little muddy because it had rained most of the day before we arrived but not a problem since we had on our hiking boots as suggested by the host. Host met us on arrival and gave a quick run down of the property and then we were alone after that. Riley is highly reactive to people and other animals so we went straight past the goats and horse and once over the creek they were no longer visible. Booked 1.5 hours which was perfect since it was a drizzly day, could definitely see staying longer on a nice day. We will be booking this spot again. thanks for sharing your property with us!
  • Wow! Can not wait to come back!! Amazing spot, clear instructions, epic hospitality, and one exhausted dog! My only challenge was getting him back in the car, my pup wanted to stay forever!
  • It was pouring rain and we still had a great time, what a fun property with plenty of trail and open space. The host was very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!
  • This is THE SPOT to have group playdates and or a doggy birthday bash. The park is exceptionally cleaned and your dogs can run laps and around or swim in the beautiful creek. Grace and her husband keeps this beautiful place in such a clean and pristine condition. Many small little touches with our name at the gate to welcome us. That was a first. Of all the spots Ive been to, this is a must visit at least once from folks down south. Also the farm animals to the side, enclosed, is a treat for socializing your pup. Ive already scheduled to come back again.
  • We love this spot, and the hosts are amazing!
  • such a neat place for you and your pups to explor! so many different paths you can take and even a creek for the dogs to play in. the Host is soo sweet too. well definetly will be back.
  • so so so much fun not only for my dog but for me too ❤️ it felt like We were renting an entire marymoor park all to ourselves. Hill to hike up, open fields to run around, water to swim, picnic area, benches to sit down, and more!!! I’ve been too many sniff spot locations and this one is my favorite so far. The owners surely spend a lot of time to take care of their land and maintain. There is even a honey bucket in their own version for the guests!! so cute and so securely fenced. My 90lbs very active pup is passed out now after playing for 2 hours there. we are definitely coming back 😍
  • What a wonderful spot! Grace was so kind and our two dogs had the best time! there was so much room to explore and the creek was an absolute hit with the dogs for cooling off after a long run through the woods. We will definitely be back! 🐾
  • This is one of our favorite spots, maybe even the top spot! Very well fenced, lots of paths to explore and ample room to run!
  • One of our favorite places to visit!
  • Great spot! We will definitely be back. The owner of the property was so nice and even left us some treats! Beautiful property. My dog loved it.
  • This place was incredible! We couldn't be happier with our first Sniffspot visit. The property was all fenced in, and allowed for my two puppies to roam freely without worry. The hosts were very welcoming and thought-out every convince for their visitors (trash bags and outhouses). We cannot wait for our second trip back!
  • Really cool spot to visit! Two outhouses, benches and trashcan available. Beautiful little forest with sunny and shady spots. Very little mud today. My pups loved it and we will definitely be back.
  • Wow oh wow! We just love your property and all the special little touches. We already booked another visit next week. Thank you for sharing your home and woods with our pups.
  • Another fun visit, dogs always have a blast and are worn out on the drive home. Thank you Grace for being a great host, looking forward to next time!
  • We LOVE this spot- might be Billy's all time favorite. SO MUCH room and sooooo much nature for a highly reactive boy to safely explore.
  • This place was absolutely amazing! It was great to work on recall and there were plenty of sniffs to go around. It was completely fenced in from what we could tell, even across the little stream. We can’t wait to come back!
  • Grace’s property is lovely. It’s well maintained and so peaceful. My dog had such a good time, I was worried she wouldn’t want to leave! The goats and horse were well secured and so I felt at ease knowing my dog couldn’t bug her animals! For future visits, I will remember to bring a towel to wipe my doggies paws off since she loved splashing in the stream. I would give Grace and her property 10/10!
  • Totally worth the drive from Seattle! So much for the pups to explore! And Grace is awesome. It gets booked up on the weekends so make sure to plan ahead :)
  • This was a really wonderful spot! Perfect for Oliver, who loves to leap through the ferns and chase critters. Also fun for our girls. Grace is an amazingly thoughtful host. I'm going to book again soon!
  • This was paradise for our pup. Grace is a very thoughtful host!
  •  It was perfect for our pups! Beautiful property and Grace was super nice ! We will be back.. thank you !
  • Lovely property and extremely nice host! Our dogs has a blast running around! We will definitely be back
  • Our dogs loved it and Grace is an incredibly thoughtful host.
  • Great spot!!! My pupper had such a good time here. Lots of places to sit and rest. Thank you, thank you for having a garbage out for the dog bags and the treat at the end was so sweet. Awesome experience we will be back again with friends!!! 
  • Still our favorite Sniffspot! 
  • Murphy and Abigail wore themselves out exploring all the trails. Thank you for the warm greeting. We will be back!
  • Awesome place!
  • We had such a great time! Grace met us and gave us the run down. Our pups loved exploring! Great place for our reactive pups. Can't wait to go back. Definitely worth the drive.
  • Grace met us at the gate and was extremely warm and welcoming! I don’t see many humans in the pandemic, so I really appreciated that. This spot was incredible - it’s like having your own private city park! My dogs had so much fun. I will bring treats next time because I found out mine need some work on their recall. I am so grateful for the experience and hope to visit again soon!
  • Worth the drive. Hostess is fantastic and met me when I first arrived, area is beautiful, well taken care of and my dogs loved it. I highly suggest this Sniffspot. Definitely worth the drive from Seattle ❤️
  • We enjoyed our time despite the weather! The forest climb is always a lovely way to get the pup exercise, and the family appreciates all the great touches Grace puts into making it a great experience.
  • We always have so much fun at this property and Grace adds thoughtful touches. It is our favorite place to come play with all our litter mates. Thank you for sharing your property   
  • Had a wonderful time as usual! Thank you! 
  • What a truly amazing spot!! This beautiful forested area was exactly what Milo and I were looking for to escape city life for a little while. Tons of space to run around and explore. Grace was the most wonderful host and even left a treat for both of us. We will definitely be back!
  • You’ll need more than an hour 
  • This was an amazing experience and everything we'd hope for! We have a beagle and a greyhound and fenced spaces are all we can explore. The entire area is well fenced and virtually every size of dog should not have any problems with the site. The only area of concern I had (and this is because I'm quite paranoid about my beagle leaving me and not coming back) is right when you enter. You cross a stream and then move away from it up into the main area. Dogs leave it behind and don't focus on it because in front of them is an amazing forest! I was kind of worried that if my dogs went into the stream, they might go far enough down it to make it out of the fenced area. Grace can answer if the stream is fenced across it, but I wouldn't think it is. Even my dogs with nearly zero recall, stayed out and it wasn't an issue at all. I say all of this because I think it is a great space for hound dogs to go off leash and there are so few places for that but wanted to give the caveot. It's a non issue for the vast majority of dogs. Even we found our dogs ignored it and moved on to the forest. They even stayed in sight of us throughout the forest and still went about exploring and zooming! They don't have much recall, but kept track of their parents rather well. It was such a fun way to find that they could. I recommend this space for everyone and it's a great space to bring friends along. Glad the booking is for an hour. Mapquest your trip the day before so you know how long it takes to get there so you don't miss any of your time! My trip there took 45 minutes and very well worth it! The host was very friendly and it's wonderful that she shares this lovely gift of natural space! Thank you, Grace!
  • We absolutely love this spot, and Grace is the sweetest host. We try to come out as much as possible! The area is so large and gorgeous, the perfect escape. 
  • So much fun! Beautiful property, so many fun features for our three dogs and one human kiddo to explore. The host was so welcoming. We will definitely be back!
  • It’s a beautiful day to be outside. Dog and humans had a great time as always! Host even left a bag of goodies (chocolates and hand sanitizer). It’s a very sweet gesture and it’s very much appreciated. 
  • Gorgeous property with plenty of trails and space to explore. My dogs and I had a wonderful morning. We did an hour and a half but easily could have done longer because it was so beautiful and well maintained. Grace, the host, was lovely and the extra surprises were such a nice touch. We’ll definitely be back! 
  • Excellent! Our dogs has a blast!!! I highly recommend 😁 We will be returning!
  • I loved it! Their area was big with lots of places for my pup to explore, and they even had a little creek where she could splash around and get a drink. Grace was very sweet (with a little surprise that I won't spoil!), and I'll absolutely be back again.
  • Our pups loved this place, so much to explore!
  • This was an absolutely fantastic place for my two dogs to run around at for two hours!  The mixture of forested/open space was perfect- really enjoyed the variety.
  • Gus loves the creek and treats. The humans really enjoyed our visit and treats too. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful spot with us!
  • Best Sniff Spot! If you want to walk with your dog in your own private forest, this is the place. Grace was sweet and welcoming and showed us where to go when we arrived. Our whippet mix had the time of his life running and sniffing and exploring to his heart’s content! We didn’t find any areas where he could escaped, (and he probably would tried if he could have). My husband and stepdaughter came too and it was a fun outdoor time for the whole family. So worth the 45 minute drive for us!   Thanks Grace, for opening up your beautiful property and for the treats. We look forward to visiting again. 
  • My dog had a blast exploring the trails and splashing in the creek. Grace was so kind and welcoming. I highly recommend this Sniffspot.
  • We’ve been to this spot multiple times and our dogs love it. Highly recommend!
  • Love coming here. It was a beautiful day. My dog ran nonstop. Looking forward to coming again.
  • This is our favorite spot to visit! The dogs have a blast going in the creek and running around the whole property. Host is so nice and goes above and beyond. Thank you! 
  • My favorite place to come. Always look forward to being there and seeing Grace.
  • Always a great time! We come here at least a couple times a month. Hosts are lovely!
  • Great hosts and a beautiful play for the pups to play. 
  • Beautiful and peaceful! We had a lovely morning hike through the woods and enjoyed the nice places to sit and listen to the trees thaw in the sun.
  • Another great visit at our favorite sniffspot!!
  • Grace and her Sniffspot are perfect!
  • It was a drizzly day but we didn't much care, and the dog had a great time as always!
  • Hank had such a fun time! Second time going and we found new areas we didn't find before! It's a relaxing place to go. Very quiet except for the squirrel that was playing with him haha
  • Loved this spot! It was our first SniffSpot and I’ll definitely be back to this location. Grace was an awesome host, so thoughtful and sweet. There was clear signage and easy parking. The forest was so peaceful, a beautiful spot to walk and train for hiking! Thank you!
  • As always, we love this spot! I won't spoil any surprises but Grace provides a personalized touch that makes each visit special! There's plenty for the dogs to explore and room to run. Highly recommend.
  • I Love visiting this spot, my dog loves exploring the huge property and running til he’s tired. Grace is such a great host, we will be back again! 
  • Our 3 dogs had a blast again on their second trip here. The property is large and charming with a lot of different spaces — feels like we’re hiking off leash on our own and plenty of room for sniffing, exploring, chasing, and fetch — and Grace as always is so pleasant, gracious, and accommodating while giving our reactive dog his space — always adding nice touches to our trip. Can’t wait to come back!
  • Great spot! Lots to explore for our two dogs. Will definitely be back! Thank you Grace!  
  • Great host and beautiful property!  Our two labs loved running through the trails and playing in the creek.  We will definitely come back to this sniff spot!
  • There are some hills to climb and some muddy areas for your dog to play. If your dog likes to be dirty they will! My dog enjoyed himself so much. We will do this one for sure!
  • Our host met us when we arrived (masked and socially distanced) and showed us where to go. There was a cute sign welcoming us with our names on it. This place is AMAZING! So much room to run and explore, our dogs absolutely loved it!! We will for sure be back! Our host checked in with us when we left to make sure everything went ok, and even left some treats on our car. For sure go check it out!!!
  • Really great spot if your pup loves to sniff, run and splash around like mine does! Grace was so sweet and accommodating. She met us at our car to show us the gate access. She followed all COVID precautions which I appreciated! The trails were easy to navigate through and well maintained. We can’t wait to go back! 
  • It was amazing! What a cool spot to let your dog run. My dog is a new rescue and this was her 1st time off leash in a large area and I felt pretty confident that she was safely secured if she happened to take off shes about 20lbs. The only spot she could have escaped was under the entrance gate but it leads to another fenced area I just kept her on leash until we went up the big hill they soon forget about the gate. The area gets pretty muddy but not that bad at all, glad I had boots on and towels for afterwards though. I just wish I lived closer I'd visit every weekend, this place is so worth the drive!
  • This Sniff Spot is well worth the drive. There was a ton of space for dogs to run around and lots of different things for them to see/smell including streams, river, forest area, hikes to run up, etc. The host was very welcoming and even gave us a dog treat at the end. We stayed for 1.5 hours and could have stayed for 1.5 more. We will definitely be returning here in the future
  • This sniff spot was great! If it weren't so far from Seattle (about an hour for us) we would be out there multiple times a week. As it is, we plan on it being a new special weekend place for us to visit. When we arrived we met Grace outside who showed us where things were. She is super nice! She had a sign out there with our name on it and everything. Our dog Juniper had a wonderful time running around and exploring, and it was a great opportunity for us to practice recall with her. When we left we notice that Grace had left a little goody bag for us and Juniper on our car. If we could give this place 6 out of 5 stars we would.
  • Grace is so friendly and kind. She met us outside (with a mask on) and told us about the property. She even wrote our names on a sign attached to the gate (so cute). If you are looking for a fun outing with your dog, this is it! Our new favorite Sniffspot! Thanks Grace!
  • What a fantastic spot! My dog was in heaven! We will definitely be back. And Grace gave us a cute goodie bag as we left~ so thoughtful!
  • Lovely, private spot with so much room to explore! Grace met us (distanced, masked!), on our first visit to help us find our way and was a delight to chat with. We said hi to the goats and crossed the bridge into the sniff spot area. Our pup had a blast running up the hill and sniffing all the sniffs. There are little benches tucked in various spots to rest if you like. Fully and securely fenced, so you don't have to worry about your pup running off if he/she has selective hearing.
  • We LOVED this sniffspot!  It has so much diversity!  We had expected it to be a bit on the mucky side since it had been raining for the past 5 days straight, but there were only 2 spots that were a little muddy, but we were able to just walk around them.  I felt like my little guy was safe to run around all he wanted and it was very clean.  These are the 2 most important factors to me, safety and cleanliness and this spot got the full 5 stars for both!
  • Wonderful little sniffspot! Grace was very kind and welcoming. The property is amazing, lots of places for pups to explore and sniff. We will definitely be back!
  • My dog loved running around here! The stream was such a nice feature, just big enough to be exciting for her but still safe. Plenty of space to run around and I enjoyed the benches for a little break. An hour flew by, we'll be back.
  • Without a doubt this is the best SniffSpot location! Our dogs absolutely love this place! The host is above amazing! She gets 10 stars for being so awesome!  Easy to find & park! Definitely recommend! 
  • We felt welcome from the moment we drove up! Grace had written our names on a little sign and everything was very clear! Grace was so kind and even left us a little goody bag! I would highly recommend!! :)
  • Another great visit for my dog and I. Such a peaceful place
  • The Mini Forest spot is lovely and interesting. Grace, the property owner, is very kind and helpful and provides poop bags if you don't have any and a garbage can, etc. This spot is a little small for me as I like to walk for a couple of hours but it is beautiful and my dog and I did several circuits of the property, walked up some good hills, and he had a wonderful time.
  • Wonderful adventure spot, lots to explore. Felt worlds away from the hustle and bustle. Grace greeted us with a happy sign and a tour to get us started. 
  • Beautiful location and fantastic trails through a quiet and peaceful property. Boyfriend, myself and my 2 fur kids absolutely had a wonderful time! Super thoughtful host with nice welcome message and cute parting gift! Loved it and will definitely be back!
  • We absolutely love this Sniffspot. There is so much to do and explore. It is the perfect spot for a dog with lots of energy and a sense of adventure. We took a picnic, played fetch, 
  • The dogs had a blast at this spot. The creek and mud was their favorite part 😆 Will definitely be back! 
  • Grace is a kind host and made My dog and I feel welcome. My dog loved running through the woods in a safe fenced in area! 
  • Had an amazing time with my pup  Daisy and her dog friend I am babysitting. The sniffspot sign on the outside of the property made it really easy to find. Also parking was clearly marked.  Upon entry the owner had a sign welcoming me and my dog and her friend to the property which was an amazing thoughtful touch. The owner is incredibly nice and personable and you can clearly tell she absolutely loves animals.   The property was amazing and quite. Nice path into the woods. You will find a private stream and many different paths into the property where you can find nice benches to sit and rest while letting your dog sniff and play. Highly recommend and will be back! 
  • Wonderful spot in the woods! My guy loved the large creek especially, room to run and hunt and all the sticks everywhere. I loved the benches and outhouse!! Grace was a wonderful host. We look forward to when we’re able to return. Great place to enjoy a birthday! Thank you Grace!! 
  • Such a great space. Lots of room to run and very secure. My dogs loved it and it was so relaxing for us. 
  • Took my very active GSP to the MINI Forest today. She loved it and spent an hour and 45 min running around exploring. There were some muddy spots, she didn’t care! Wearing hiking boots was a good suggestions. There is a well appointed out house and benches and tables if you want to have lunch. It was a beautiful spot, I’m sure I will go back. Grace was very welcoming, a very good hostess.
  • A lovely sniffspot! Lots of different areas to sniff and explore. Also, we really appreciated all the clearly marked parking/walking areas as well as the sweet welcome sign for me and my dog! One thing to note is the fencing is not 100% fenced (a few gaps here and there) and it has gaps within it, so if you have an escape artist or need a super secure fence, this may not be the best option. I have a dog with high prey drive and was worried about the goats/horse but they are very secure in a separate space and you're dog will be on-leash as you walk by them. Once we got into the sniffspot my dog didn't pay any attention to the smell of the dogs. My dog is terrified of gunshots/fireworks and we did hear some gun shots while we were there, but it was VERY faint and sounded more like distant construction. Did not startle my dog, so if you have a similar issue you should be fine.
  • We had so much fun at this sniff spot! Our dogs ran and played the whole hour! There was plenty of places to sit and relax but it was also so much fun to explore with the dogs. The owner was one of the sweetest hosts ever and provided us with extra poop bags!
  • Wonderful to have this spot to wander through. Dogs love it!
  • Wow- this spot is immaculate! It is large, private, securely fenced, beautiful, and well groomed. The trails are perfect for running and playing with your pup, and the exciting features of the lot are enough to keep you and your pup entertained for hours. I felt extremely secure with my semi reactive dog. Grace went above and beyond as a host, with a very adorable welcome and easy to follow instructions. My tired pup and I could not recommend this spot enough! 
  • Such a beautiful location with lots of running area and fun! We will be back for sure!
  • Wow! This place is amazing. A friend recommended it to us a few days ago. We almost cancelled because it was raining a little but decided to just go anyways. The owner is so sweet and greeted us upon getting there. She led us to the gate and pointed out the way to go. This property is a dream. We didn’t let our dog off leash but did bring a long line and let him go explore. If your dog had good recall they would be totally fine running off leash. There is one big hill at the beginning but totally manageable. We put the long line on our dog and let him just run ahead a little so he wouldn’t pull us down. We will definitely be going back! Thank you so much for opening up your place to us! It was so good for our dog and us to get out and not have to worry about other dogs. 
  • Always a great time with and excellent host. The dogs love playing in the creek! 
  • We’ve been a to few SniffSpots and this is by far the best one! It’s huge with so much room for you dog(s) to explore! We hiked all around and absolutely love it! The dogs drank out of the creek. They definitely didn’t want to leave. We are definitely coming back to this place as many times as we can. 
  • The mini forest is an outstanding SniffSpot. Fully fenced with a creek and plenty of room to run around for dogs and their humans. This was our second visit and we will be back for more.  
  • Another great visit - dogs never want to leave. It’s nice because it’s fenced for goats so I feel good my dogs will stay in, then they just roam, sniff, explore, play fetch. It’s a beautiful place for me to relax too!
  • Grace is one of the most welcoming hosts one could ask for! With a parking spot and trash can and a cute welcome sign! I highly recommend this spot!!
  • This is our favorite spot. We love coming to relax in nature. Our pup has the best time running and exploring. Our hosts are always so generous and hospitable. Grace makes us feel very welcomed each time we come.
  • Perfect spot to take a couple of pups who need to get their energy out. Nice mix of walking paths and open areas to play fetch. We will definitely be back!
  • Our host, Grace, welcomed us and sent us on our way with clear directions about the property.  My Dane and her cousin (also a Dane) had a marvelous time.  It is very hard to find a property with acreage that is fully fenced; I highly recommend this Spot for large dog owners.  Mina and Rocky had a blast playing hide-and-seek and chase in the ferns and terrain.  I can’t speak to how this Spot would be for small dogs but for our giant breeds, it was heaven on earth.  What a special treat on a gorgeous autumn day!
  • The rain held off today, and Dog had the best time chasing sticks, perfecting his zoomies, and splashing in the creek. It's his happy place!
  • The mini forest is awesome! It was easy to find this Sniffspot and I appreciated the welcoming signage-nice to know as a first timer that I am on the right property. The land itself is lovely-plenty of room for the dogs to run and their human to hike around. There is even a little creek, which my water crazy golden retriever loved. We will definitely return to this spot.
  • Lovely spot with tons of room for exploring! If you’re looking to wear out your pup with a ball, this is the place, there’s quite a few spots to sit and throw with a chucka. Super easy to find and park thanks to Grace’s signs. She’s a perfect host. We had a great time walking through the trees. Next time we’ll bring a picnic to enjoy by the creek. 
  • Always an amazing time out! ♥
  • Grace's place is what Sniffspot is all about--what a wonderful way to get our trio of city dogs, including the reactive one who usually can't be off-leash outside of our yard, some free-roaming exploring, fresh country air, and playtime together in the woods on this beautiful property. And Grace was such a thoughtful and accommodating host who made our first Sniffspot experience a great one--nothing more satisfying than 3 tired and happy dogs sleeping in the car all the way home. We can't wait to come back!
  • Another wonderful day at our favorite sniff spot. Grace makes us feel so welcomed. On cold rainy days she makes sure we have shelter from the wet and cold. I find it relaxing to get away to this beautiful property and watch my dog run and explore to her heart’s content.
  • Great wooded area for dogs to enjoy and use their nose to smell! Wear good shoes and watch your step through muddy areas but not bad at all! My girl Lulu had a lot of fun. Thank you Grace! ❤️ You are so sweet. 
  • This is a gem to find, especially with the fencing! My dog loved to run around and sniff, and loved all the different terrain as well. It's an amazing place and thank you so very much!!
  • We came back for our second visit today and found new trails on the property to walk that we didn't find the last time. I almost don't want to say how good this place is because we don't want to share!! Lol. The dogs had a blast, we will be back!
  • Such a fun spot! 
  • We absolutely LOVED our experience here today! We stayed at the top of the hill to avoid any interest in visiting the pond or other animals on the property, but that didn’t change the amount of fun to be had at all! Left with one tired pup and that is definitely the ultimate goal :) 
  • Had a great time playing in the forest and romping in the creek!
  • We have been here several times and have a great time every visit! Thanks Grace for always accommodating us and can't wait to come back! Come check it out, your dogs will thank you!
  • Tucker had a great time romping in the leaves and stream. Grace was very kind and even had poop bags for us when we got there. A nice extra! We'll definitely visit here again.
  • Another wonderful day at this beautiful location. Something very helpful about this sniffspot is that there is an outhouse, which allows for drinking your morning coffee and then driving  an hour to get there. We have been coming often to decompress and give our dog the best time.
  • We were looking for a controlled environment to test off leash recall with our 6 month chocolate lab. This place was awesome! Plenty of room to roam, all secure and fenced in. Porter had a great time (and did great with recall!!). Driveway and parking were clearly marked. Grace was there to meet us for our first visit and show us out to the property. We will definitely come back!
  • Oh. My. Gosh. This is THEEEE most incredible find. Grace is the sweetest human ever (even as my hounds were barking and screaming at her from the car). Her property is absolutely stunning. Couldn't believe this was actually completely fenced in. The dogs ran for about 1.5hrs until one chased a heron into the marsh and submerged himself and decided he was ready to go home at that point. It was just spectacular, I felt like we truly were hiking out in the woods all by ourselves without having to worry about another hiker sneaking around the corner. The dogs ran and ran and are now passed out at home. We cannot wait to book our next trip to this incredible gem of a spot. Thank you for sharing your space, Grace. We loved it.
  • A great time as always -- Dog likes the cold weather and ran around like a madman. Or mad dog.
  • Grace was wonderful and her property perfectly designed for us. The dogs loved it! We will defi
  • Love the hill!!
  • We really enjoyed the spot! Beautiful landscape, fully fenced and WATER! It’s everything we love and would hope for! 
  • Grace was the nicest most welcoming host. She pointed us in the right direction and left us to enjoy the time.  The land is beautiful. A nice hill to get a little workout and lots of open spaces to run when you get up top. Plenty of benches and tables to rest and enjoy the peace. There were goats and a horse safely away in their shelter and easily avoided as they are before the start of the area you will be using. They are adorable and so patient as Niko saw them and barked. Didn’t see or hear any people or other animals at all-  There’s we a super pretty water area when you first start the trail that is perfect for a little splashing around.  Basically- it’s like your own private hike in the woods for a few great hours. Thank you Grace! 
  • This place was amazing! The property is gorgeous. It’s a great place to train a new dog offleash because there’s a lot of distracting smells. My dog was extremely interested in the goats (they are safely in their own enclosure) so we had some trouble staying focused but it’s great practice! Thank you Gracie.
  • Our dog has never been happier. She sniffed and ran and played ball and then explored some more. There was a wonderful creek, trails through the woods, benches to sit on and soak in the peaceful surroundings. We booked the spot for two hours and were so glad we did. Our host was gracious and welcoming.
  • Wonderful place to unwind with my pups and spend time in nature. Grace was an excellent host and very hospitable! We will be back!
  • Thanks again for having us, we had a lovely time in the forest.
  • As always our trip was fantastic. My dog absolutely lives running around here and splashing around in the small creek . We will continue coming back !
  • Excellent as usual!
  • We had a wonderful time with our dogs at Grace’s wooded slice of paradise.  There was a ton of space for our dogs to run and we appreciated the varied terrain. There are trails through the property and the whole are is fenced in nicely. One of our dogs escaped under the entry gate so perhaps a small gate extension could be a suggested improvement but the gate just led to a fenced backyard so it was no trouble that the dog went under the gate once.  Loved the creek for romping and water play. Thanks for allowing us to play and run!
  • Grace was a super friendly host and the property was very cool! I appreciate how much variety there is to the land - benches, small hiking trails, meadows & creeks/ponds. My pup had a blast and so did I :-) A dog’s paradise and a place for people to relax. 🙂 I would go back. 
  • Grace met us moments after we arrived and set us on our way. I brought my three kids along with our 16 month old collie for an afternoon of running around in the woods.  It’s an incredibly unique location, being fully fenced was an excellent bonus. 
  • This was my second visit and once again, we had a great time! Now that I've had Doogie, my rescue dog for 3 months, I feel secure letting him off-leash here because it's completely fence. It was his first time with me off-leash in nature and he was a happy boy! YAY! He even got to meet some goats (on-leash). This is the only fully-fenced forested Sniffspot with trails and acres of land that I have found, so Doogie and I are grateful and very willing to drive an hour to get here.  I love that there are a few hills so we get a nice workout, numerous trails to wander around, a creek, lots of shade on sunny days... it's everything I wanted for Doogie.  
  • Another great visit. The dogs absolutely loved it and it was good to see Grace again 😊
  • Dog and I hadn't been here for awhile, and it was wonderful to be back. Dog got so tired from running around that he slept away the rest of the day. (I was tired too, but I was driving so had to wait for my nap).
  • Amazing! I highly recommend visiting. Our two Australian shepherds were so tired from romping around. Grace was also so welcoming and created a cute little sign to invite us on her property. 5/5! Will come again. 
  • Every time we visit we find something new to explore. We checked out a new trail this time and climbed to the top of the hill. The dogs also had tons of fun playing in the stream. This place is paradise. It’s well fenced (designed for goats) and has running water and is very relaxing. Come here as often as I can!
  • Grace was a very hospitable and friendly host, her property is amazing and we had lots of fun in all that space! We will definitely come back in the future!
  • Always a wonderful time here (rain or shine)! Very thoughtful host. 
  • Best Sniffspot and nicest host we’ve been to. Grace was very nice and explained the details of our visit. The place is very well kept. We had a great time going up and down the hill and exploring the little trails. Our dog who loves the water enjoyed a quick splash before we left. We will definitely be back. This spot is highly recommended. 
  • Instructions were clear and Grace greeted us at the beginning of the visit to show us to the gate. Our Golden Irish had a blast. We were able to enjoy the visit as well knowing the area was fully fenced.
  • This place is heaven! Rogue had so much fun on his birthday adventure. Running, sniffing, playing ball and swimming. He is worn out! It’s an hour drive from West Seattle. Book for two hours and bring a lunch. So worth it. 
  • Beautiful land with thoughtful touches. We left the city on purpose in search of some good country land, and the land itself was lovely. We were, however, unpleasantly surprised to hear gun shots fired nearby while we were out in the woods. I’m sure it was neighbors doing target practice, but it was unsettling for this city slicker and I imagine that such sounds could be upsetting for reactive or anxious dogs. Unfortunately I don’t believe the hosts have control over this unless they can make an arrangement with their neighbors. 
  • Great experience! Grace is as nice as can be. The property is well cared for and provided a lot of opportunity for our dogs to run and get worn out. Be prepared to hike up some steep inclines in order to utilize the entire property (this ended up being a great walk for us as well!). Will definitely be going back! Oh, and though we don't think this will be the case at all times, our pups did need a bath after their visit (in the best way possible). :)
  • What a fabulous Sniffspot!!! Doogie, Thomas and I had such a great time here! It's a wonderful forest with old growth stumps that new trees have grown out of, a nice creek and numerous trails to wander. It is nicely maintained. My boys got to meet their first goats and a horse (they are in an adjoining pasture) and thought that was pretty cool. The goats came right up to the fence to say hi. Doogie is a new rescue (in our family for 2 months), so I can't let him hike in open spaces off-leash yet, and I am keeping him on his longline for a few more outings, but this wonderful, forested place with numerous trail options gives me the chance to safely test out how he's doing and give him freedom. He is doing so good, that hopefully he can be off the longline on our next visit. Grace, the owner, is very nice! There was a welcome sign and poop bags for us to use. Since it was our first time, she welcomed us, pointed out where to go and checked in with us as we were leaving to make sure we had a good time. I only wish we lived closer, but if we were headed to the mountains for a hike, we would have had to drive further, so that's ok. We will definitely be back!!
  • This was one of the best Sniffspots I've been to! What a treat! Grace was such a kind and welcoming host and her land is like a private woodland oasis. You could spend all day here, so I'd recommend booking more than an hour to really enjoy it. Plenty of spots to sit and so many trails to explore we were finding new side trails to wander throughout the whole visit. Definitely take the advice to wear hiking shoes or similar as it's rocky and woodsy - there's also some steep sections where a good tread helps. But my pups had an absolute BLAST - they normally get tired / bored after about an hour, but they were still going strong when it was time to go home. The creek is perfect for a little dip if it's hot and there's plenty of open areas for fetching or chasing too. The only caution I would say is you may encounter a bit of livestock poo, so if your pup likes to roll in such disgusting delights (like mine...), come prepared lol. Can't recommend Grace's place highly enough though - we will definitely be making the long drive from West Seattle again. :)
  • Our dogs had a blast! It is a great hilly property with lots to explore. Paths crisscross the wooded acreage.  Plenty of shade and sunny spots, plus benches for the humans to rest at. The dogs loved the creek too. I’m glad we brought a towel. We did occasionally hear a dog barking way in the distance, but since the dogs couldn’t see anything, there was no reactivity. The terrain could be considered a bit challenging if you aren’t wearing the right shoes, but there are paths to take that are easier to navigate. We will be back!
  • A beautiful and peaceful spot! We loved strolling around exploring the trails and seeing our newly adopted dog run safely off leash and try out wading in the creek. She really enjoyed the freedom and so did we, knowing we had the place to ourselves. There were lots of places to sit for a picnic and even an outhouse. We'll stay longer next time!
  • We hada wonderful time exploring again!
  • Wow, this place really is a treat for dogs (and humans). Grace is such a gracious and welcoming host. The Sniff Spot area is well suited for exploring and enjoying nature without the worry of encountering others or your dogs getting lost while off leash. The property is very well maintained with wooded trails. As others suggest, good footwear is recommended. My dogs had so much fun running up the hills and adventuring on this property. There are picnic tables and an outhouse which makes it especially appealing if you are driving a distance to get there and want to be able to enjoy the property for a few hours. Definitely recommend more than one hour to truly explore and enjoy the visit. We can't wait to return!
  • This was our 2nd time here and we had a fun day. The dogs went even further back into the forest this time but with the fence all around we didn't have to worry. Don't forget to wear food shoes because there is definitely a lot of space to explore. Can't wait to come back!
  • Grace was very friendly and met us outside to show us where to go. The property was great - rustic, lots of places for my 2 beagles (and dachshund mix) to sniff to their hearts content. They have never had freedom to safely explore and follow their nose for their natural instinct, so having somewhere big and open with tons of places to explore while being safely in a fence was so nice. Its just the stimulation their brains needed and we will definitely be back! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful land!
  • Loved it!! Two hours of wandering around in the woods, dogs up and down hills and in the creek. Great picnic spot with tables, port-o-potty and shade:). Grace is delightful!! We will be back. Well worth the trek from Seattle. Goats and horses are fenced in and no access to Sniffspot area.
  • Dog hadn't been off-leash for a couple of weeks, and he went nutso today in the mini-forest. So many zoomies that he was almost too tired to play in the creek on the way to the car. Almost.
  • Amazing! I’ll be back.
  • We went with a group of dogs, kids, and adults and we all left wet and happy (the kids and dogs more so then the adults)! We loved exploring and playing and ended our time with everyone getting in the creek. Thank goodness we brought towels! Thank you for hosting such a fun spot. We’ll have tired dogs tonight!
  • WOW! This spot is absolutely beautiful for humans, and a DOGGY DREAM ADVENTURE COME TRUE. It far exceeded any expectation I had, and is WELL WORTH THE DRIVE. There is a creek, meadows and a forest with sniffs and nature sounds forever. My terrier never ceased exploring at full tilt, while my Shih Tzu and I were very pleased with the benches conveniently placed along the way. I had toys with me, but they never left the bag. Both pups were passed out on the drive home. Miraculous, as my terrier has NEVER slept in the car regardless of how many hours the trip! This truly is a mini mountain so I would recommend some study shoes and water for humans as well as pups. It took us an hour to explore just the perimeter, so book for at least two hours to really experience this amazing property. There are many lovely places for a picnic. The property is fenced, but a good recall would be good as you can easily lose sight of your pups in the forest. You briefly pass a horse and goats while leashed on the way in, but no other animals or humans once over the bridge, so I would recommend for reactive dogs.
  • Great time!
  • Second time here, even better than the first if possible. This forest is magical. I felt at peace and centered and my dogs had the time of their life sniffing and exploring. It is beautiful and the hosts are great!
  • We loved this sniff spot! Lots of trails to go on, and the dogs loved the creek to cool off and chase frogs. One of our dogs is pretty reactive but we had no issues, as the area is secure and private. Grace came out to meet us and was welcoming and helped guide us to where to go. It’s a beautiful piece of property and was very relaxing. Some areas are more wooded and there are some open grassy fields too. 
  • We had a great time in the mini forest. Our two dogs loved running around and even went in the water. Tons of space and was some good exercise for the dogs and us! Lots of benches and tables so we might bring a picnic next time. Grace was very nice and welcomed us as soon as we drive up. There was even a welcome sign for us! Looking forward to coming back. Thanks!
  • This is arguably the best Sniffspot we’ve been to yet! Beautiful property with well maintained trails that loop around and let you feel like you could get lost but with the safety of knowing you won’t. Property line is very visible via fencing and we loved switching between swimming in the creek to running through tall grass to exploring through the overgrowth. Grace was an amazing host, we will definitely be back! 
  • Another great time with the pups. It was hot that day but with all the trees we stayed nice and cool. Perfect day! If you are worried about how your dog will react to the goats, please dont worry. They are far enough away behind a fence. My dog's didn't even notice them. I've already reserved a third visit.   Thanks again Grace for sharing this gem! 
  • What a great spot to explore! I am always a little nervous trying new spots due to my dog's reactivity to people and dogs. This spot was as advertised - fully enclosed and not another dog or person in sight (although we could hear people in the distance). Grace, the host, was fantastic and greeted us at the start while giving our dog the space he needs to be comfortable.
  • Take the dog/kids, pack a lunch, and enjoy your own private wooded glade. This is a great place - meadow, creek, woods, benches in shade or sun, she-shed and matching he-shed, friendly goats in their pasture, picnic tables, GREAT host. We were there on a hot day and the forest made the temperature perfect. Wear sturdy shoes for the trails. This place is a gem. Fully meshed fencing all around the 9 acres so your dog can't wander off readily. Thank you Grace!
  • Great family fun!  So grateful to have a safe environment to let our young boys stretch their legs and just have fun.  The creek was the best finish to our mini hike; We will come back.
  • Henry R. Dog, Sunshine, and Lily (the dogs) had such a wonderful time frolicking in the creek and running around the woods. The humans had a great time, too. Our hostess, Grace, welcomed us in person and also with a sweet sign. The horse and goats (fenced in away from the Sniffspot) were adorable. What a lovely place to spend a couple of hours with family and woofs! We only booked an hour, but the next time we will bring a picnic lunch and stay for two. Definately worth a bit of a drive to get there.
  • Great spot for a relaxing hike through forest with beautiful nurse logs and a creek. My dog and I love it. 
  • Between chasing sticks, running through meadows, and playing in the creek, this place makes Dog super happy. And when he's happy, his human is happy too!
  • Oh my, what a wonderful spot! The instructions to get to the spot and where to park were perfect. The host was there to meet us when we pulled up, welcomed us and showed us where to go. She even had written a welcome note for the fence. The spot itself was amazing! Hills, flat areas, trees and forests as well as some sunny mini meadows. A stream for the dogs to splash in at the end of our time. Lots of places to sit while the dogs ran around and played. It had "all the stuff" for a total package experience!
  • This was our first Sniffspot that we visited and we were amazed how beautiful it was. It was nice to let our dogs off leash and explore without worry. The scenery was so nice and peaceful and very clean. Our dogs were in heave, they couldnt believe it either :) To top it off the creek was a hit! I cant like this spot enough. We are looking forward to coming back. Thank you Grace for sharing this gem with us we really appreciate it. See you soon, Rachel 
  • This is one of our new favorite spots. There are so many beautiful trails, a creek, and smells the dogs were busy the entire hour and we wish we had more time to enjoy the peaceful forest. Great hills for fetch to wear them out and then they cooled off wading through the creek. Happy tongues out the whole time. We will be coming back. The area is well fenced. We felt completely safe and secure, but it’s a forest so good recall is nice. There are goats and a horse, but they are enclosed and aren’t visible from the area at the creek where you can unleash. 
  • We absolutely love everything about this spot! The space to play, hikes, and absolute peaceful scenery. We came when this spot first opened and it was great then. Grace has definitely added some awesome improvements as well to the area. Firstly, the sniffspot sign made it easy to find her place. Secondly, the parking area was clearly marked! We came on a muddier day earlier this summer and we’re able to enjoy the space fully though the two hours seemed to go by slowly, this time they passed so quickly! Thirdly, she added some benches which made it so nice to have a seat. My only thing would be remember to bring some bug spray as the mosquitoes were showing themselves this time!
  • This was the best time!! Grace was so kind and accommodating for our family to meet up - 5 dogs total. Absolutely beautiful, peaceful property and our dogs didn’t stop running/exploring. They loved playing in the water too! We humans got a little workout climbing up the hillside and through the forest. Great to take a break at the campsite seating while the dogs explored around us. Definitely recommend and we’ll be back for sure! 
  • Grace was so friendly and kind! Her property was so fun to explore. Our pup loved running through all the forested areas - though he might have been a little too interested in the goats & horse in the enclosure before the forested area. Overall, great spot & would return!
  • This time my kids and pup enjoyed visiting with the goats and horse the most. They were such great hosts! Thank you for another lovely visit.
  • Our two dogs and us had the most amazing time today at the mini forest hike. Grace was there to greet us and she walked us to the spot. She was very friendly and did not say anything about the fact that we were a few minutes early :) The mini-forest was beautiful, serene, and lots of wonderful sniffing for the pups! It was almost like a doggie disneyland where our dogs were sniffing non-stop for the first 30 minutes and running around. Since the entire area was fenced, we were also relaxed when they ran around and were out of our sight for a few minutes. There are lots of mini-trails, benches to sit down, and enjoy the quiet and the birdsong! We have some tired and happy pups at home now ! We will definitely be back! Thank you Grace.
  • What a fun sniff spot! There are so many places to explore that you could make an afternoon of it. Grace was so sweet and welcoming! We will be back soon. 
  • This was our first Sniffspot adventure and it was amazing! Grace is so welcoming! We had my family and our dog as well as my step-daughter's family and their two dogs. I think the kids loved it as much as the pups! Perfect for some shade, exploring, cooling off in the creek, and a picnic.
  • Beautiful property with lots of variety to explore. Great socialization for the pup to see goats and a horse. My kids loved it too! Grace was also very responsive when we had a short notice change.
  • Great fun for all!!! Hiking up and down the paths was like being in our private forest. The creek was refreshing on a warm sunny day. Dogs had the freedom to be dogs with no leashes. Grace was very welcoming and easy to find their place with the SniffSpot signs. We will definitely return.
  • Had a great time exploring and playing in the creek! Will definitely be back! Host was great, gave wonderful directions!
  • It was a relaxing easy hike with several winding paths among tall old pine trees. It was shaded and cool. especially next to the stream that runs through it. There is a separate fenced area with goats and a horse, which gave our city dog a nice sniffing experience. It was a pleasure for us to walk through the beautiful and quiet mini forest.   Grace was a very accommodating host and her communication was excellent. Thanks-- we will be back!    
  • I had wanted to visit this spot since it popped up and it didn't disappoint! Grace messaged me shortly before the visit to let me know there were workers at the house which thankfully would not have been a problem for my dog but it could have been for others so I appreciated the heads up. When we arrived she happily greeted us and let me know how to access the off leash area of the property. It was like our own private hiking area, complete with enough hills to give me and my pup a workout. There are benches spaced around the area to relax a bit too. I highly recommend booking for more than an hour to take advantage of the whole space. Things to note: solid footwear is recommended. Unless you stick to the front of the area, you're in the woods. It's not overgrown or anything, but you'll want to cover your feet. Also, you're in the country. While we were there we heard what were either gun shots or fireworks. I prepare for this by making sure I have plenty of treats and something to play fetch with to distract my dog. None of this is to suggest you shouldn't go, I would definitely make the hour drive to visit again. Thanks for sharing your land, Grace!
  • This is a very nice spot, especially in the summer heat. There was plenty of shade and a nice area with picnic benches to sit down after playing fetch or exploring the forest. The host, Grace, was very nice and walked us to the entrance.  
  • Grace was very welcoming and provided water for us and our dog. The property is fenced and has a lovely creek and trees. Wonderful to have my dog run free on her 9 acres.
  • Can't get enough! Grace is the best host!
  • This was an amazing first experience with sniff spot. I don’t trust my dogs off leash with other dogs around, so a private spot was perfect. It felt like we were out in the forest for our own private hike, which we were! The dogs and I had a blast. The host was friendly and gave us privacy. I’ll be back ASAP!
  • Grace has sculptured a beautiful sniffspot on her land. It's like having a private camp with trails, clearings, large enough for my 2 dobermans to romp, chase, and wrestle, then run on the wide groomed trails. The trails were hilly so I got some exercise. And the sniffspot was fenced: what a bonus. The entry before crossing the water borders some goats, horses, etc. Eventhough this is enclosed and part of the sniffspot, if you have a dog that doesn't have a great recall off fenced farm animals, you will want to keep that leash on until you get on the trails on the other side of the river. We had a great time exploring, hiking, and playing hide and seek. Grace was awesome and we look forward to a return. Wear your hiking boots.
  • This was my first SniffSpot and it exceeded my expectations! It's rare to find a spot available that is fenced in. I was able to let my dog run freely without concern. He loved the stream running through it and I enjoyed the mini trails throughout. It is very clean and the host was exceptionally nice. My dog has some fear aggression with new people and she handled it great! We will 1000% be coming back and we're already planning our next stay while there. An hour is plenty of time to go through it all, but I would book two next time.
  • What an amazing Sniffspot! Lots and lots of free space for the pups to sniff and play. Property is so nicely maintained and bonus that it is all fenced in. Host was amazing and super nice. We will definitely be back. They do have goats but our pups could care less ( we however loved them!) Nice private retreat for the doggies. Thanks for having us!
  • Wonderful place to let dogs be dogs! Lots of great smells and places to explore. Everyone enjoyed cooling off in the creek, after a good run. Can't wait to visit again!
  • Dog and Human both loved it here! We booked two hours, during which time Dog did some happy zoomies, chased sticks, and climbed partway up a tree in a vain attempt to catch some critter in the branches. Human was just along for the ride and to serve as the stick-thrower. We made sure to save some time for playing in the creek at the end of our hike. Grace, the host, couldn't have been nicer. It's a great spot!
  • Grace was such a welcoming host and her property was wonderful. My two dogs had a blast running around through the forest-like terrain, and I had a great time not worrying about them running off or having any distractions, as we were totally alone and it was fully fenced in, aside from the entrance that leads back towards her house - but it’s easily far enough that the dogs wouldn’t go that way. It was muddy in spots and there was some tall grass depending on which way you go, so wearing some sort of boots is recommended. My dogs were exhausted, and we will definitely be back! 
  • Really cool spot! This was our first time here. Grace is super sweet and greeted us on our arrival. After you pull into the driveway, parking is straight ahead behind a small shed/barn and clearly marked with a Sniffspot sign. You will walk through a gate to a small pasture...there are some goats and a horse but they are totally secured behind fencing and my Cooper barely glanced at them. The Sniffspot starts at the creek crossing and it's fully fenced! Really nice big area of grass and hilly terrain, we really loved it. Very peaceful and lots of trees. There is an outhouse in the family campground when you first enter the Sniffspot so that is really nice for people like myself who drive from over an hour away. We felt completely relaxed and happy and really enjoyed walking through the woodsy setting. We will definitely be back. Thanks Grace!!
  • Great spot to bring the dogs. Grace was a wonderful host.
  • OMG! my german shepherd, Maverick enjoyed the place so much! it was worth the drive from Des Moines. I should have booked 2 hours as 1 hour went by too quickly, not enough time to leisurely check out the rest of the lovely ‘mini forest’. Next time I will pack a nice lunch with me as the picnic area looks very inviting. The gracious host, Grace said that her siblings & their families would camp here almost every year in the past. I enjoyed the hike, i needed it. i loved the sounds of the creek, the birds, the trees & the calmness, peaceful, serene feeling up the hill. I also enjoyed sitting on the porch on one of the tiny cabins, while Mavey sniffs around and sat on my feet later on to rest. I will definitely come back, don’t know when yet, but i will.
  • My two dogs, toddler and I had a great time! The land is well manicured so it’s clear where to go without disturbing the forest feel and the trees offer plenty of shade (which was much appreciated by this 8 months pregnant mama!). The hills were a bit much for my older dog but any agile pup ought to have a grand time! (And my old lady had a great time too, she just had a little trouble towards the end navigating the terrain). The creek is lovely and the boundaries of the property are very clear. Lovely host! We can’t wait to go back and explore again. 
  • This was our first visit to the Mini Forest and this place is really wonderful. It is a large forested area with some large walking paths as well as some smaller trails scattered about. Just after you cross over the bridge there is a lovely little picnic area where we had lunch. The creek is close by there if you want to go down the hill a bit to it. Then we climbed up the hill - you will want some good walking shoes - to some open meadows and additional trails. There are also some outbuildings scattered about and some places to sit. The is a mix of open area and tall shaded tree areas so will be good in the summer. Property is fenced but we saw a few areas that a determined dog could go under. Because the property is large and wooded, if off leash, best to have a good recall. Property was easy to find and parking spot was labeled. If coming from the south, go through Granite Falls as property is closer to there than Arlington. Host Grace met us in the driveway and was very friendly and engaging. She respected that Kai doesn't like to meet people he doesn't know. We wereonly here for an hour for our first visit but we will plan for 2 hours for next time. Great place to bring a picnic and enjoy the surroundings. There is a lot to explore in this peaceful wooded setting!
  • We had a great time. She was wonderful and greeted us and let us know where to go. Beautiful stream and woods
  • Awesome location! Very beautiful spot! Our dog had a blast! 
  • Beautiful spot with lots of running room. Grace was very welcoming and came out to show us were to go. We'll definitely be back. 
  • The dogs had an absolutely fantastic time. They loved all the woods, hills, trails and of course the creek.  Thank you for joining Sniffspot and opening your property to our 4 legged family members.  
  • My pups had a great time exploring! Great space and we will definitely be back! Host was very responsive and goats/horse were contained in a separate area. For those with reactive dogs, you do need to walk past the animals, but once over the bridge, pups were free to explore.  No human or dog interaction during our visit.  If you have a small escape artist, you might need to keep an eye out.  Overall, awesome spot!  Loved the mini forest!
  • Both of our boys had an absolute blast!! Our great Dane is hard to take to a regular dog park (due to his intimidating size) and giving him open room to run with his (smaller) brother was the absolute best day ever! :) Our host was extremely gracious when we got lost getting to their location as well! Bring hiking shoes as the people got quite a work out as well as the dogs!!!! Absolutely beautiful and the small creek was the favorite spot for the furballs. Will happily return soon.
  • My dogs absolutely loved this space. We had such a great time here and will definitely be back! It was quiet and peaceful but not too far from the city. 
  • Great spot! I wish I booked two hours.  Very friendly and helpful host. Fence has some spots that smaller dogs or adamant on escaping dogs could fit through. I will be returning here again and again.
