55We just recently moved to Lake Roesiger with our two dogs and just found this gem! This place is amazing, incredibly clean, many amenities, and the ability to have the place all to yourself (especially when your dogs aren’t great with other dogs) is a DREAM! We will be coming back frequently, and so thrilled we have something so close to home. Lauren T.

55We always have such a fun time here, and truly appreciate the extra details the hosts have thoughtfully included, from floating water toys, to towels, to bug spray, to the hose at Club Zoomies for fresh water. Thank you, Tim and Brenda! This is a special spot, and we are so grateful you share it with us 💕Aubbie B.

55We had another really great visit to this beautiful Sniffspot. My dog is reactive (to people, cars, bikes, you name it) and is also very sensitive to noise, and we heard no loud noises while we were there (on a Sunday afternoon). We also ventured out onto the DNR land and saw no one there. My dog was able to relax and just enjoy being in the woods! Like everyone else here, I heartily recommend this Sniffspot and thank the owners for letting us use it.Sara E.

55What a great spot to explore! So much to do.., there’s space to throw the ball, or explore the trail or swim, this place has it all. We had a really great time and although it was quite a drive for us to get there, it was totally worth it. Will definitely be back!Debie F.

55AMAZING Sniff Spot. Peaceful trails and a field for play, including toys, fresh water station, and seating. It is nicely maintained and all details considered. Although it’s quite a drive from Seattle, it’s a lovely escape with tons of sniff and play options. Oh, and easy to find and best signage I’ve encountered.Jodi S.

55What a lovely property this is! We visited on a cloudy day that turned drizzly, but no matter. We walked all of the forest trails to check them out, and dog loved having a new place to practice his zoomies, chase and destroy some sticks, and look for critters. You should go!Barbara L.

55Absolutely beautiful sniffspot! I think this has to have been my girl’s favorite spot so far. With fields, mowed woodland trails, grasses, flowers, mosses...there were so many new smells to sniff and fun textures to feel under her little paws. Also the easiest rural spot to find so far as well. Very well marked with clear directions and an obvious parking spot. Lots of nice touches like a map to take with you as you explore, water and treats available for your pooch(es). Small note that there is (very pretty) foxglove around the property so just keep an eye out if your dog is the type to want to taste test the local flora. We loved this picturesque and private location and will be back again soon!Sara S.

55Both the dog and his human love this place! The combination of forest trails and open meadows provide lots of opportunities for dogs to run and explore and for humans to amble. This was our second visit, and the hosts have added some nice amenities including more signage, water for dogs, and poop bags. Thank you Gayle and Jack for opening up your lovely property to dogs and their people!Barbara L.

55This was our third trip to the Homesteaders sniffspot, and once again Dog and Human both had a great time! Parts of the meadows are now mowed, but there is still plenty of tall grass for dogs who like to romp. Homesteaders is in our permanent rotation, and highly recommended.Barbara L.

55Beautiful, clean, and well maintained Sniffspot with gorgeous views! The hosts care about dogs as you can see their meadows and trails are named after different dogs. There were poop bags and water available too. It was a beautiful day to explore the trails and enjoy the views but one of our dogs got freaked out by noise in the distance and we had to leave early. The hosts were genuinely concerned about the noise and kindly offered us a refund. Our other dog didn't seem bothered by the noise and had a lot of fun running around and exploring the trails.

55We had a wonderful time exploring the trails and meadows, all named after former rescue dogs. This spot is perfect for hikers and fetchers alike; Lani had no interest in the latter, too many smells.
The mountain views are stunning!! We felt immersed in nature without being on busy, public trails.
We went on an extremely warm day and were grateful the host had water set out. They also had waste bags available.
Toward the end of our visit, the pup went a bit rogue and helped herself to exploring the hosts’ porch. They were very kind and gracious with her antics. We will definitely return!Amanda V.

55We really enjoyed this sniff spot! One of my dogs has reactivity issues and there were no people or dogs around. It’s a very private setting and there’s dense thick woods separating you from any roads. There was a tiny bit of gunfire in the distance but it didn’t bother my dogs at all. We spent the full hour wandering around the trails, and the pups loved playing fetch in the meadow area too. The trails are clearly marked and a map is even provided at the entrance. Zoe Z.

55Great spot! Very secluded. We did hear gunshots and other dogs barking but it didn't reallybother our dogs.
The signage was so clear and well done, which we really appreciated. There were poop bags, a garbage can, and lots of water plus treats available which was fantastic.

55The trails here were beautiful and peaceful! My dog and I enjoyed looping through them again and again. There were lots of yummy blackberries to snack on too! Gayle and Jack sent a lovely and message before we arrived, and thoughtfully shared the status of the summer wildfire smoke in their area so we'd know what to expect.
Worth noting: I have Verizon and lost service in the area. Would recommend making sure you have directions and any info you need while you're Sniffspotting, saved to your phone in a way that doesn't require the net! (It was also nice to disconnect, tbh!)Jordan C.

FAQ about our Manson dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
