Give your dog the freedom to run, sniff, explore and play in a private fully fenced field in the countryside. This Sniffspot offers a peaceful space where dogs can safely enjoy off-leash play while their owners relax nearby.

A grill and fire pit area are also available if you’d like to relax and spend more time outdoors. The space is ideal for dogs that need room to run, training sessions, or multi-dog households looking for a safe private play area. Multiple dogs are welcome. Future additions may include more dog enrichment features as we continue improving the space. ⸻ Amenities Fully fenced field Large grassy play area Trees and natural sniff areas Private deck (fully fenced) with seating and shade Grill available Fire pit area Fresh water available Indoor bathroom access Multiple dogs welcome
