Kevin and Dave were amazing Sniffspot hosts! This is our first time booking with Sniffspot and with the Barksville Inn team. With my dog being reactive with certain small dogs, I expected my dog to be the only dog in the yard. However, Kevin and Dave were so kind and offered to have members of their pack (large dogs, yay!) come and meet my dog after she had some alone time just sniffing around. Kali had a great time meeting new friends and I had an even greater time meeting Kevin and Dave. They were very accommodating, hospitable, and also made sure my dog and I felt comfortable. I can’t wait to bring my dog back to The Barksville Inn!

Golden Park In Brooktondale

Fenced in dog yard, plenty of room for ball and frisbee throwing. Please ensure dogs don't jump in or dig in garden beds. If pool is empty, turn on/off well next to front steps to deck and use hose (to fill or spray your dog). Dig spot is behind the little barn (ok to uncover space from landscape fabric). If there are ripe tomatoes, feel free to pick a couple as a snack.

Lansing backyard dream

Finger Lakes Dog Park

Finger Lakes Dog Park is a privately reservable, fully-fenced, half acre canine recreation area. We enthusiastically welcome ALL dogs, but the private nature of the park is especially beneficial for reactive or shy dogs, traveling dogs, handicapped dogs, puppies, or seniors. We are the first and only dog park in Schuyler County, located in the heart of the Finger Lakes Region. The area is known for its rolling farmland, many vineyards, beautiful lakes, and plentiful waterfalls and gorges. Numerous state parks offer many camping opportunities. And the county is also home to the only national forest in the state. So whether you are a local resident-or a visitor to our little piece of heaven-be sure to bring your special friend(s) for an enjoyable outing in the country. We are open every day (including all holidays) from 8am to 8pm. The park is not lighted (yet) so reserve your spot accordingly during the winter. Happy romping!

Gate 1 - 59 acres of land. Trails and views are awesome. Gate 2 - 120 acres of land. Mix of woods and fields. Great for training hunting dogs or an off leash experience. Very secluded Gate 1 is also a glamping site. If rented then there’s no dogs allowed.
