55Awesome spot!! Secluded but easy to find. My 2 boys had a blast running the fields. The wooded area was definitely their favorite though. So many great smells and trees to pee on! We saw a deer (and they had a good chase, lol). We zig-zagged all around and they really loved it.
The chickens were out and about near the parking area, so I kept the dogs leashed until we were out of sight. Easy peasy.
We had 2 ticks on us (1 on me and 1 on a dog). But that's what flea and tick meds are for! Just be sure to do a check when you get home.
Excellent visit all around! We will be back when the weather cools down and my little dog can join us.Molly M.

55Our dog George really enjoyed exploring the farm! We even got some bird watching in! It was an enjoyable walk around and through the field, plenty of things to smell! When it was time to cool off, George swam in the pond a little. It’s absolutely a great space to be able to use! Edwina W.

55We LOVED this Sniffspot! Lots of trail areas to take our pup and she had a blast. There are also multiple ponds for swimming if you have a dog that loves the water! We did see the goats and chickens but as another reviewer mentioned we just kept our dog on leash until we were past them. We brought a ball and a frisbee for our dog to play with but she was more excited about all the new smells and still got a ton of exercise (we ended up only spending about 45 min there as she's an old lady but she was EXHAUSTED when we got back to the car). I definitely recommend wearing closed toed shoes as due to the recent rain there are some muddy spots and tall grass. Overall we had a great experience and we will definitely be back!Mattie P.

55Great hosts! This was the best Sniffspot we have ever been to. Jeannie and Matthew were very responsive and answered all our questions. It was a wonderful area to run the dogs. There was lots of land and they were exhausted before the hour was even up! Lots of room to run, but our boy's favorite spot was the pond with the dock. They had a blast jumping off into the water and swimming. It was great to have a hose available to rinse them off before we headed home. We will definitely be back! Donna R.

55Our dogs and us had such a great time at your awesome property today! The dogs were crazy-happy to be back in the gator-free water after moving here two years ago! If they could talk, I'm sure they'd be begging us to go back every day! Thanks for sharing your property and we will be back real soon!Carolyn B.
