45Great large space for exploring
55Lots of different things for curious dogs!
55Nice open area for the dogs to really get their energy out. Nice place to throw a ball or frisbee. Clean. We will definitely be back!
55Lots of room and obstacles to enhance play!
45There is ample space for 3 large dogs. I really appreciate being able to pull my car into the secure area to off load my dogs. 2 areas that could be improved, there is not a garbage can easily found to dump my poo bags and secondly, the area behind the carport has quick a few dog piles that are not picked up. So I recommend wearing your outdoor shoes, just like the dog park. Overall I was very happy with Kota’s place and me and my dogs will be back.
55What a great Sniffspot, especially for large dogs. A lot of run area, Lots of sniff areas. The only reason I had to leave the area a little early is that the chickens next door were let out, and my nosework birddog found that really interesting. No fault of the sniff spots host. If you havent been to this one, check it out.
55Host was very sweet and accommodating. Quick to respond too, excellent communicator. Yard was large for my three dogs to have more than enough room to run and play.
55Easy to find, clean, and the dogs loved running here! The only thing I feel I should mention for reactive babies is that there is a dog (or two) on the other side of the neighbors fence. It did bark back at my dogs but the owner called the dog in really quickly. Overall it was great:)
55Lots of room, peaceful and clean. We asked for the troth to be filled with water and was done when we got there. That was a bonus. My boys enjoyed their run.
55We had a lot of fun! Ashley communicated well and was very friendly. Her yard was awesome and the dogs enjoyed all the sniffs and definitely left zoomed out!

Description

Yard rental for dogs (and people!) to exercise, play, and sniff to their hearts content! Yard can also be rented by dog/animal trainers for a set fee instead of price per dog. Inquire if you’d like more information. Fully fenced backyard. Grass is somewhat long in some of the pictures, but it will be mowed prior to your visit. There is a rock pile for any agile dog that likes to climb. We also have a large galvanized metal troth that can be filled with water if your dog likes to play in water, we would just need at least 3/4 hours advanced notice so we have enough time fill it for you, it is pictured. The covered structure in the middle of the yard has camping chairs next to it and a picnic table you can use. There’s a power strip between two of the cozy chairs on the covered porch, or one by the hot tub. We just ask that you please limit it to no more than 2 devices plugged in. We can provide an electric heater to be used on the porch or by hot tub area if needed, just be sure to add that extra to your booking. There are plenty of scent trails to be followed as we often have small wildlife coming through the yard. Rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, and plenty of birds that our dog still tries to catch even though she doesn’t stand a chance 😂 It is a fairly private back yard, so it is quite relaxing aside from the occasional loud barking of our neighbor dogs. We have an American bulldog/brittany spaniel mix, but she will be kept inside with us during your visit. You may hear her loud mouth from time to time, she sometimes fusses when other dogs are using her yard and she can’t join them 😀…There is plenty of parking, you can even open the gate and pull your vehicle into the carport area if you would like. We can possibly dog-sit for a fee so long as your dog is kind and comfortable with us. Cost could be discussed. We live at the end of a gravel road so even though it feels very distant, we’re close to the main roads that go through Graham/Puyallup or Orting. Only about 5-7 minutes from the Fred Meyer located on Meridian and 176th in Puyallup. There is a large white wooden gate that is open leading into the property. Pull in and to the right, park in front of the tall garage and access the backyard through the large metal cattle gate between the garage and house. Lift it up and opening outwardly. It may be blocked from opening by a cinder block on the ground, so you can just move that out of the way. We only put it there because our girl is an escape artist and figured out how to hit it with her nose enough times to pop it open. The little turd, she’s a strong one! If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! Thanks! We hope you and your pet enjoy your visit! We will be adding a toy bin in the near future, for now you may find a stray ball or two in the yard. Our dog is a heavy chewer, so toys don’t last long around here unfortunately. If you have any specific toy requests, feel free to let us know, we do our best to please person and pups alike! If you would like to book at a different time than what is available, please contact me. I’m pretty flexible so I’m sure we can work something out. Have a great day!

Cleanliness

86% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

Rock pile could potentially cause some sort of injury, we will not be liable for any injuries sustained on the property. Climb/play at your own risk.

Extras

Added person for hot tub$4

Add 2 of these if it will be 4 people using the hot tub

Clean trampoline$4

It’s usually slightly dirty because our kids don’t use it much these days, so just use this add-on if you’d like us to clean it before your visit. We accept no liability for any injuries sustained on the property. Added fee is just an added layer of protection for both of us.

Fire started for you$12

Add this for us to start the fire. Includes 2 bundles of wood with this option as well, which should last 1.5/2 hours. You can take the firewood that you don’t use with you, or leave it here and we can set it aside labeled with your name for your next visit. There would be no added cost for that. If you’d like to do a fire with your leftover firewood next time you come by, you can just add the $4 fee instead of this one. 2 hour notice preferably, but can possibly accommodate on shorter notice

Firewood and/or grill$4

This add-on can be used to cover 1 large bundle of wood for the fire pit(you will need to bring your own supplies to start the fire, so some paper and a lighter) or to use the charcoal grill(with your own supply of charcoal,) or use of our somewhat wonky propane grill. Only some burners work.


Inflatable Coleman Hot Tub$20

$20 will cover 2 people for up to 1 hour. Max 4 people, with an added $4 per person. Let me know if you have any questions. I can set it for any temperature between 100-107 degrees. Please give at least 3 hours notice if possible. We can usually accommodate on shorter notice. It’s so nice to soak in while your pup just roams the huge yard following the never ending scent trails. You can see about 90% of the yard from the hot tub, so it’s easy to keep tabs on your pups.


Outdoor heater$3

We can provide use of an electric heater to be used on the porch for a small fee.


S’mores or Hot Chocolate$10

This can be added if you would like the ingredients for 4 s’mores, or the ingredients and utensils needed to make Hot Chocolate for 4 people. We could make the hot cocoa inside if you prefer that. Please let us know at least 2 hours prior so that we can make sure we have everything we need. Don’t forget to also add the fire pit rental if you would like to prepare them yourself. We obviously can’t do the s’mores inside ourselves, but we can make a pretty awesome cup of hot cocoa!


Water to drink for hooomans$1

Can supply a pitcher of filtered water

I’m a mother of two that is unable to work a normal job due to health issues, so I figured we mine as well share our yard and earn a few extra dollars here and there while we’re at it. We aren’t really morning people around here, so we would prefer bookings to be after 10am if possible. But we can be flexible if need be! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask 🙂

A world-class Pacific Northwest natural rainforest adventure awaits you and your best friends on 66-year-old trails, through 2 acres of trails, forest, tall old growth trees, a creek, and open areas for ball throwing and chasing sticks on 9 terraces. Starting with your choice of 2 entrance paths on the far left and right over a bluff that winds around to The Landing Pad, through other trails forming circles to run around on and play. ('Yes, there are 2 paths you can go by'). At the very bottom, our Madhatter trail leads to a creek. The property is partially fenced and has natural barriers. It is bounded by a fence at the top, a fence on one L-shaped side, a cliff, and creek on the other. Bring more than one dog, if at all possible, because they LOVE to play 'Hide and Go Seek', and chase each other around in circles on the switchback trails, down the hill to the creek and back up the hill to the lodge. This tranquil forest was mostly clear-cut between 66 to 100 years ago then not replanted. So we replanted our 2-acre forest with 600+ trees. The ground is wood chips, sand, Pacific Northwest duff, with 160ft tall Hemlock, Douglas Fir, Alder, Big Leaf Maple trees, 1 Madrona, ferns, and native bushes with views of a 20-acre privately owned forested wetland. We prepared the yard as a Sniffspot for dogs. Rarely seen are animals in the forest - occasional wild rabbits, moles, squirrels, mountain beavers, raccoons, mice, shrews, voles, and weasels. Many birds are seen and heard here- thrush, grosbeaks, warblers, sparrows, starlings, chickadees, flycatchers, redstarts, vireos, tanager, pewees, orioles, woodpeckers - shorebirds, waterfowl, raptors, such as hawks, and American Bald Eagles. This is a rugged forested area so be careful of footing! watch for signs of moles and Mountain beaver underground trails crossing the paths, especially along Secret Lane, Lover's Lane, and Hidden Lane (signs to be added soon). Do wear boots if you plan to access the creek. We spent 4+ years removing invasive bushes, cutting down dead trees, and creating places for you to run, walk, play, pause, sit, and enjoy your dogs in this natural rainforest, one mile from the South Sound. When you park you can close the entry gate at the top. A garbage container for poo bags is available at the top driveway as you exit under the Big Leaf Maple tree on the right in the large gray bin marked "Garbage". We feel a lot of delight here. We welcome you to enjoy it now! 2 Starbucks are less than 5 minutes away in either direction (bathrooms are available there). Bigfoot Java is at 4627 SW 320th St. (no bathroom but open 24x7) Join us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556216197208 or search "Wonderlane World Famous Sniffspot" :-) Wonderlane is a place to commune with nature, a peaceful place to breathe in nature with some walks over and around 2 acres of forested hills. You can't get lost, just keep going up if you are unsure. When it is raining and for water dogs, bring a towel to dry off pups' paws. There is water to wash dogs down near the creek. Actually there are water hydrants in most areas. If your dog is reactive and you want to, you may keep your pup leashed the 20 ft from your vehicle to the top of either trailhead. When leaving via either trail at the top you can easily pause to leash your dog if you wish. PS. If your dog doesn't want to leave, contact me and I'll ring the Magic Chuck Waggin' Triangle, and your dog will come. No worries!
