Great spot! Lots of space to explore and smell. Catherine was great with communication and completely respected my fearful/reactive gal. Plus she was gracious enough to put some water, bowls and a towel out for us. Definitely recommend 👍🏼

Fantastic property & hosts. My dogs were exhausted when we left. There's a huge open space, the river, a trampoline & a pool (not open yet-too cold). I had a great time.

Very nice property. Lots of trees, like you very own small park. My dog enjoyed taking in all the smells and going around in circles down the trails. There’s cute little decorations and signage and sitting spots throughout. Great first Sniffspot for us

Consider this place a destination stop for all who are traveling with a pet! It’s a quick detour to help your pet stretch and relax. The hosts are very hospitable and have thought of the small details to make your visit inviting. To prepare you for the trails they have poop bags available at the entrance and water is available for you to cool off your pet. My dog loved it and we enjoyed our time together. We were able to walk the trail in a short amount of time which is nice because it helped manage our travel time better. My dog and I both enjoyed our walk in 10 minutes and we went a couple more rounds after that. He was so relaxed after the walk that he slept the whole way back home! If you ask me this is a big trade off especially when your traveling and have time constraints.

The host was super friendly and our dogs had a lot of fun. They were excited to get out and run! This is a great spot for bringing dogs that want & need more exercise than a small yard or leashed walk.

This was an awesome spot! We had the best time. Bucky was able to romp and just be a dog without any concerns. The host was so kind and accommodating. We will be back.

Very pleasant spot and very nice people. I would not consider the entire property "fully fenced", but it worked for our dogs. Also, if you have a longer haired breed be careful of the thistles in the wooded areas, my pup got them caught on his paws several times.

Host very nice, I explained that one of my pups can be Barky with strangers he respected and kept distance while we spoke. He explained plans for future but honestly it was perfect for us. Large open area fenced partially not close to road. Wooded border on 3 sides. Fully fenced area with chairs, fire pit and I believe a barn ( didn’t go in) chickens and ducks but fenced in. The fenced area was covered in wood chips - no mud. The huge field was covered in straw - what should have been a mud bath was pleasantly not. Awesome place.

Great spot! The host was incredibly accommodating and there are so many amenities. There is a campfire, grill, pool, and bathroom. There is a small fenced in area and a 5 acre area that is mostly fenced but has a natural vegetation fence in Spring and Summer. The host went out of their way to make our trip very special! They encouraged us to bring friends and have picnics and grill out! We had an excellent time!

Anja was very kind and met us as soon as we got to her Sniffspot! She showed us around, explained what there was to offer, and had made towels, bug spray, and extra toys available to us. The trails were well maintained. We would definitely recommend and come back again!

We brought Simba over for some open space for him to play around in and we all really enjoyed this space! The host was extremely nice and showed us around when we first arrived. I would recommend anyone to come and visit this spot!

Anja is so friendly, she walked me around to show me what there is to do, had fresh water and towels and balls all set out for my little one. My stay was for an hour and a half and let me tell you I used up the entire time! We played inside the gated agility area for about 45 mins, then did a couple laps around the trail, well cut you would never get lost and then finished up by throwing balls in her recall area. I will definitely be coming back!

So much space for exploring. Had a great time walking the trails and rested in a shady grass area near where we parked. Ended the perfect day meeting some goats and chickens.

We had a wonderful time visiting this beautiful property! We enjoyed walking on the trails without having to worry about our dog running into another dog or big trucks to get her riled up! Trails were easy to follow, but this was a large property so we didn’t explore the entire place. We’ll be looking forward to our next visit to continue seeing more. This was also close to home and I was pleasantly surprised that this is the property that has a gorgeous reindeer light display at holidays. Thanks for sharing your property with the community!
