Please do your best to pick up after your pup. This property is classified as a class-A wetland and dog poop that is left is harmful to the ecosystem. I also ask that you not let them do their business in the orchard area, this part of the grounds is being reconditioned first and while there are no sprays at this time, we may have to use a fungicide in the future. I will make a point to update the listing if I do. There are no trash cans for your use, pack out all your debris. It is important that you be respectful of the lock on the gate. I had a previous guest rip off the protective cover and leave the lock in a mud puddle. Please do not remove the protective weather cover and not leave it on the ground. I will be forced to shut down sniff spot from my property permanently if this happens again.

I was disappointed in this Sniffspot after seeing the description as it looked like a great spot. It was difficult to know if I was in the right spot because there was no signage. I did confirm that I was in fact in the right spot. Once I entered, there was a couple nicely mowed areas but most of the property was seemingly inaccessible. There are hazards everywhere on the property. I saw broken glass, boards with nails sticking out, old garbage and equipment, etc. I didn’t feel safe letting my dog go off leash and there is no signage anywhere. If you are ok with letting your dog go off leash in areas that are inaccessible to you, it may still be a great space. There is a big marsh area that could be cool. It just wasn’t for me.
Host replied: I’m sincerely sorry that you didn’t feel comfortable with the property. I do have it listed in the description as well as the guest message that this property is a work in progress, and express that there is trash at the barn that we are actively still cleaning up. The reference to the boards with nails and broken glass is limited to immediately next to the barn, and as said we are still actively cleaning up as the previous individual on the property chose to not properly clean the fire damage. I’m genuinely not sure what other hazards there are as you described it in a manner that isn’t accurate, as it’s not “everywhere” it’s limited to one area. I’m honestly disappointed in this review as it’s not a fair and honest description.
Beautiful property and well maintained but still rustic. Lots to explore and lots of variety! The property is advertised as being 21 acres, though only a small fraction of the space is usable and much of it is wetland. Other than having a little less space than anticipated, we had a great time and will be back!
Host replied: Hello, I’m surprised by your review since you indicated having such a good time. The property is 21 acres and goes a significant ways south and east. The wetlands only makes up a couple acres on the most northern end of the property. Salmon berry has encroached in the areas around the creek, so it’s possible you were unclear where you could explore. Trail building efforts will resume as the weather warns.
Super cute spot with lots of smells!
Great spot to bring the pups! Lots of room to run and explore.
Our dog Bixby had such a great time at Beaver Pond. He loved running around the property and sniffing EVERYTHING. Pamela was really communicative which was really great and we would love to visit again.
Lots of critter smells to send my girl into a frenzy. Nice balance between wooded 'dog-only' space and open, unobstructed space if you wanted to toss a ball. Not muddy like I was expecting, and I'm guessing birding might be a big bonus...
This was my first stop on a solo weekend away from the fam just me and the dogs - and what a way to start! Talk about getting grounded. Beautiful property with lots of interesting nooks and crannies. I can’t wait to come back.
Great communication with the host. Awesome spot
Had a great time! Our whippets had a blast exploring the woods.
So fun! The lock was super easy, 1 st thing was my dogs ate the black berries right off the vine and they each found an apple to munch on that had fallen from the tree. Lots of exploring and sniffing around! Thanks again for accommodationg a slight time change 😃
