The Funny Farm

Should have read the reviews before booking! Please don’t waste your time - I wasted 15 minutes after driving 30 to get there looking for “the red barn”. It doesn’t exist. The address is fake. I’m lead to believe the positive reviews are fake. Why hasn’t she replied to any of the negative reviews as to why people can’t find her address? Why doesn’t she respond to any of the messages that people can’t find her place when she is supposedly waiting at the red barn to show us around? Hmmm… this is all extremely creepy folks, please find a different Sniffspot. This is a case of being completely taken advantage of, which is really sad for those of us who just wanted a unique experience for our pups. Report sent, who knows what will be done about this thievery. This is a recurring problem according to reviewers so why not put specific instructions to find this awesome (fictional) place? JUST WOW I didn’t know people could sink this low.

Dogs enjoyed walking down gravel driveway…however there are multiple houses and it is unclear which property we were allowed to be on. Especially when there is barbed wire. We were told we would be met at the red barn, then stayed for an hour with no response. We walked down each driveway hoping to see clear trails or a way to go, but each had a different house. While a more rural area, there were still too many houses/people for the dogs to run around without concern we were in someone else’s yard. Wish there was any sort of communication, even if it was that the owner would not be meeting us as expected.

GET SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS FROM HOST BEFORE YOU VISIT!!! ALSO MAKE SURE HOST WILL BE RESPONSIVE AND MEET YOU THERE. LOOK AT ALL REVIEWS!!! THERE ARE SEVERAL LIKE MINE. We were unable to find the location via GPS. The host did not respond to my messages. Still hasn't and our visit was supposed to be yesterday. We basically loaded the pup up and drove all the way out there for nothing. We were really looking forward to visiting this place. Even if we would have been able to find it we wouldn't have been able to explore if she wasn't even there to meet us as we couldn't just roam around not knowing if we are in private property. I guess this is on me as I didn't read all of the reviews.

My dogs loved it. We are definitely rebooking soon. One of my dogs is a bit reactive to people and dogs but she has really good recall so I have been searching for a place where she could get all her energy out without running into other dogs!! She absolutely loved it! And she has kissed the dog park ponds and this farm has a pond and she jumped right in and loved every bit of it!! Thank you so much, for helping me wear my dogs out!

Loved the pond but didn’t explore much farther due to high grass and the worry for snakes being unseen. However, definitely would visit again for the private pond area and the joy of being able to be unleashed. It was a little difficult to find with following gps. Host was quick to contact me back with showing me around. Looks like a lot of land to explore!

Our dogs loved the pond!

Host replied: We are so glad to hear that! your pups had a good time! We hope you are able to visit us again soon!

Host was very responsive up until the day of the visit. It took us 20 mins to the find the place because we didn’t have useful directions. Once we got to the barn, we were told she’d meet there us to discuss her property and where we could go. We waited for 20 minutes and she never responded to us. We ended up leaving because we didn’t feel comfortable walking on someone’s property without permission.

Our beagles loved their time here! They especially enjoyed one of the three ponds on the property, and all of the tall grass! So much land for them to run! Will definitely book again.

Definitely a lot to explore, you could easily use two hours here. To explore a lot of the space you will need to tackle inclines and declines. This was a great place to allow my dog off leash safely so she could do dog things. We enjoyed our time at this Sniffspot.

Host replied: Thank you Sarah I appreciate you. It was a joy having you. I hope you all get to come back and play soon. Kelly

Great off leash property and my dog especially loved the pond. Kelly was super and showed us around. There are a lot of briars though so make sure your pup stays on the trails.

Host replied: Thank you Janna. I'm so glad you came. You are right about the briars,I've gotten myself stuck many times in the woods. Now that they are growing back in for the Spring, I will work on getting some cut back,especially near the pond. I hope you all come back and visit us,and in July we will plenty of blackberries ready for the picking. 😀
