Mandee’s Private Wooded Dog Park

My new favorite spot 🥰 we came last weekend and decided to book again for this weekend and had another great trip. This time we came prepared with a chuck it for the long field which our pup loved. After exploring through the woods again of course. Love love love.

We loved this SniffSpot! Love the mix between woods and the mowed patch as well. Gave our pups the perfect mix between exploring and sniffing and then a nice long patch to play fetch. We saw one deer for added enrichment.

Host replied: So glad you and your pups had a great time and enjoyed the variety available at our Sniffspot. Thank you for visiting and leaving a review!

Beautiful spot, dog enjoyed very much. Saw several deer and other critters.

Host replied: Thanks for leaving a review and thank you so much for visiting our Sniffspot!

Daisy had so much fun! She got the zoo miss through the woods, swam in the swamp, and sniffed around the cornfields.

Host replied: Thank you for visiting and for your review! I’m so glad Daisy enjoyed all there was to do - our dogs always enjoy “the swamp”as well. 😂

Amazing as always!! My dog found a deer leg and was very proud and paraded it around the whole time😅 extra enrichment I guess

Host replied: Thanks for your return visit to our spot! Cool that you’ve seen it in two different seasons now. Glad your dog enjoyed the experience!

Drove an hour for this sniff spot and unfortunately, we left after 15 minutes. Saw two live snakes, two carcasses (one deer and one small animal) and several animal bones. Due to the recent rains, the woods part of the property was pretty much not passable. I did not feel like my dog was safe on this property. Alerted property owner and she was very understanding and offered to refund visit. Property owner is closing calendar until she has a chance to evaluate the property. Not sure how often this property is maintained.

Host replied: Thanks for your input and we’re sorry that you had this experienced. Your refund was issued, you should have received that by now. We were there on Sunday to investigate your concerns and we didn’t see anything ourselves even after a complete review of the property, including the woods which were passable on the path. There’s about four acres of non-wooded area at the front of the property as well that is regularly maintained that might have been a better fit for your pup. Again we’re sorry you had this experience. On the one hand we are very clear on what to expect of our spot in the description and on the other hand I’m wondering if you ended at the wrong property because what you described doesn’t reflect what we saw this weekend. Either way, thanks for visiting and wish you and pup more happy Sniffspotting.

Nice big wooded area... will have lots of wildflowers in a month or so. Pretty mucky but that was not unexpected. Dog was filthy but blissful! Got a lot of energy out! Jack in the pulpits were just emerging.

Host replied: So glad your pup enjoyed! Thank you for visiting us.

Great spot if your dog(s) have solid recall, one of mine was briefly tempted by a passing herd of deer. This is such a great spot to explore for dogs and humans but I would definitely recommend a good pair of rubber boots.

Host replied: Great tips! Thanks for visiting our Sniffspot.

First timer, and it was the perfect spot for my boys to get in lots of sniffing and exploring! Lots of wildlife poo (and some bones) to keep things extra interesting. There were a lot of areas that were flooded/very wet (which is everywhere right now), but plenty of space to walk around those. Very quiet; we didn't see/hear any people/animals. Thank you!!

Host replied: Glad you enjoyed the visit! Hope you’ll come back and see us again soon.

It’s a good space and certainly has plenty for the dogs to do, but one of my dogs did get torn up by some barbed wire, and we were surprised by the deer stands and hunting blinds set up just off the trails. There is no fencing, and one neighbor’s yard is close to the trails. The pups also sniffed out a dead raccoon 😅

Host replied: Abbie - I’m very sorry to hear one of your pups was hurt. Where did they encounter barbed wire? We’re our there all the time with our dogs and have never seen barbed wire on our property. Also deer blind is from the old owners, we don’t have any hunting on our property.
