35This spot lives up to its name. Take a moment and think about that before booking because as others have noted in their reviews, the area is unmarked. It’s also unkept. If you are fully comfortable with exploring the wild with no trail when you have low cellular service, then this spot is for you. Last thing I’ll note is the road leading to the spot is unpaved.
55We had a blast our 2nd time coming here! We found the trail to the Potomac river this time and the dogs had the best time!
55It is a beautiful property and our dog had a wonderful time. Thank you for hosting.
25First, I give all hosts on Sniffspot 5 stars for opening their space to others! This review is for the spot and why it didn’t quite work for us personally. The things we encountered were: - no Sniffspot sign to confirm you were there. -no instructions on where to park that we could find - no map or markings of where the host property boundaries were, so we had no idea when and if we were on their property or someone else’s. -no trails. From the description, we thought there would be some kind of walking trail. That has been our experience with other sniff spots with multiple acres. But this is truly as the name states, wild woods. It is someone’s wooded acres with no trail that we could find, so you are wandering though woods on a fairly steep hill. It seems the trails are actually public trails along the Potomac that you could connect to if you kept walking, but then you wouldn’t be on a private Sniffspot. It wouldn’t have been quite as much an issue but there were no property boundaries that we could see, or a map, and there were other houses around, so hard to know where to wander. -barking neighbor dog at the neighbor fence. There is no property boundary and the neighbors have a dog that can see you and barks continuously while we were near the fire pit area, so we couldn’t sit. Our dogs aren’t reactive, but they could have walked up to the neighbors dog barking and we didn’t want that. If you have a reactive dog, this wouldn’t be good. It’s not the host fault for the neighbors dog, but again with no property map or markings, it was hard. Just our experience for others who may need to know, and again, appreciate hosts opening their spot. A property map or markings and some kind of walking trail could probably make this a 4 or 5 star spot for us!
55Not to be dramatic, but this place is just magical! So much beautiful space to explore and the host gave very clear, very helpful instructions. I drove home with a very happy, very sleepy pup. Can’t wait to visit again!
55Awesome spot ! My dogs had a blast running through the woods and swimming in the lake !
55Our dogs had an incredible time at this spot! Our senior dog was running so fast/jumping so high it was like he was 4 again. He and our puppy rolled in a ton of mud, raced around, and the senior dog loved swimming in the lake. The hose to rinse them off before getting back in the car was so convenient and thoughtful! They were both so exhausted when we got home. Such a great afternoon!
55Great space
55My pups had a blast year! A lot to explore!
55We had a great time and our dog loved all the smells and sights along the creek. Sarah provided clear instructions and her space was as described and a beautiful setting!

Hello, thanks for checking out my spot! Right off the route 7 corridor my place offers a great area for your dog to stretch their legs. My pup has enough space to get going full tilt a little bit and loves running around back there, she’s a 10 month old border beagle. Perfect for fetch, there’s a long stretch your pup can run back and forth on. Plenty of smells, squirrels and frogs frequent my yard. The pond has two tiers, one isn’t very deep nor large, the lower tier is 2’ deep in the middle. Not large enough to swim laps, but you pup can take a dip and cool off in the summer. Updates are coming to the pond/fire pit area, stay tuned. There’s a large deck that needs work, so please don’t use it. Plenty safe for a dog, but I don’t want it used by people people. Under it there’s some wood and random stuff, nothing dangerous to a dog :)

Spacious Half Acre Off-Leash Retreat

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Home to 3 dogs (Griffin 🩶 13.8 years old, Mellow 🖤 11 years old, and Lionel 🤎 5 years old) who know a good sniffing spot when they see one! On August 21, we lost our beloved dog, Griffin 🩶, who spent nearly 14 years enjoying this yard before losing his battle with heart cancer. He was sweet, loyal, strong-headed, and deeply loved. This yard was one of his favorite places to run, play, lounge in the sun, and make memories with our family. We miss him every day and are currently building a memorial in the back left corner of the yard in his honor. Opening our yard to other dogs has become a special way to share the space Griffin loved so much. We like to think he would have been thrilled to welcome new visitors and spend hours catching up on everyone's "smell mail." The yard sits on a half-acre lot with plenty of room for dogs of all energy levels. Whether your pup enjoys sprinting laps, playing fetch, exploring every scent, or simply relaxing in the shade, there's room to do it all. We like to keep the grass short and well-maintained, so we mow and trim regularly, typically once a week and more often during periods of heavy rainfall and rapid growth. We also do our best to stay on top of seasonal insects, bugs, and changing weather conditions to keep the yard as enjoyable as possible. Afternoons and evenings are our favorite times to enjoy the yard. By then, the morning dew has dried, and much of the yard is shaded by the tree canopy, creating a comfortable environment for both people and pets. Even after a heavy rain, the yard generally drains well and dries quickly, with very little mud. On cooler evenings, it's a peaceful place to relax, listen to the sounds of nature, and watch dogs enjoy the freedom of the open space.
