55Very nice, large sniff spot with a variety of terrain to keep dogs occupied. There are bags and a trash can for poop. Muddy areas were covered with hay which was a nice touch to help prevent a dirty ride home!Emily H.

55Another really great visit!!! This time our dog brought some friends along and was a bit more active. We had 3 dogs and there was still more than plenty of space left to move and play or retreat if the dog needed a break. Will most definitely be back!!! Andrea F.

55Very nice spot. A variety of terrains for the dogs to sniff, toys, a large tub of water to cool off in and several areas with seating for the humans. There was adequate shade also. You can drive your car into the field, good for bolting dogs. The fencing was secure. The location was lovely. We had a great time.Carol C.

55Nice spot! Good hillside, shady and bright areas, plenty of toys and a water bin to drink from. Good seating too. We enjoyed it and found it to be very peaceful. The dogs played a bit but generally just enjoyed sniffing and seeing the scenery! Kaela A.

55Great off the beaten path spot to let dogs be free to run and play. Appreciated being able to keep my vehicle off the road and take into the space. Our first time and I think my dogs were a bit confused but they did seem to enjoy exploring. They can do this at our house but we are not enclosed and I have to be very vigilant. Was nice to be able to chill and not worry about them running off. Lydia D.

55Our pup loved the built/natural obstacles as well as the mixed terrain with lots of places to sniff and explore. Plenty of all-out running space as well. Comfortable shade/sitting options for humans although we spent all of our time exploring alongside our pup. Stephanie F.

55This is the best maintained, most well thought out Sniff Spot we’ve ever visited. My dog usually lasts no more than fifteen minutes, less in summer heat. She played and went in the wading water and played some more for forty minutes! Aubie was not only safe and comfortable, she and we genuinely enjoyed the time and space. And now she is asleep!

FAQ about our Mars Hill dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers).
