55Such a great spot, my dog loved running around the wooded areas and trails and the large open areas! We will definitely be back!
55We had a wonderful time, as always!
55Everyone needs to visit this spot. Our dogs had the time of their life running through all the trails and splashing in the creek. We’ve taken our dogs to large sniff spots before, but there was something special about this place that kept them running and playing the whole hour. The host was also so friendly and provided a lot of helpful additions like tick spray, towels, toys, and more. Can’t wait to come back!
55This was a great place to take my dog! She had such a fun time running around and swimming in the creek! We will definitely be back!
55That's a fantastic spot for my pups to enjoy! Highly recommended!
55Great spot with a mix of open area, woods and trails. Had just enough water for our dog who is still deciding if she likes swimming or not. Area was clean, easy to navigate, and had a lot of nice touches throughout. Will be back for sure!
55Loved being able to let my dog run free with the fenced in area! She loved the creek and the trails around the property!
55This sniffspot is amazing! The host was so kind and showed us around the property. There was so much space and clear paths through the forrested areas. Wilbur had a ton of fun and we will for sure be back to this spot :)!
55Absolutely the best! This property offers all the amenities, creek, long stretch of grassy area for running and many trails. Clean, safe and a lot of thought put into the idea of dogs having fun. Photos of our dogs running, had the time of their lives. Thank you for sharing your lovely property with the rest of us. Cannot wait to visit again!
55Laura’s facility is probably the best spot we’ve visited so far! She was so accommodating of our larger group and had toys, water, fresh towel, anything we could need during our visit. The dogs had an absolute blast and we can’t recommend this spot enough!! 💕🐾

Description

This is a very quiet place on a country road where your dogs can be off leash and free to explore nature. The full four acres are surrounded by a 5 foot fence and there is a small creek running through the property. There is a wide spot in the creek that is easily the most popular spot for our canine visitors! There are larger fields and open areas for your dogs to practice their retrieving, and there are many paths in the woods for hiking. The beginning of each path is marked with quartz stones to show you the way. You will also find several benches scattered throughout the property so that you can take a load off while your dogs run and play. When it rains the property can be quite wet in some areas, so bring boots and a towel to clean off your muddy (but happy!) dog. There is a full competition size agility field within the four acres. The agility equipment is completely fenced in and will be accessible only to those who have had at least one formal beginner's agility class. This is to keep you and your dog safe and to prevent misuse of the equipment. Please message the host when you book the spot and before your first visit to discuss your agility experience if you are wanting to access the equipment. **I would really like for your first visit to be on a weekend or a Tuesday (my day off) so that I can meet with you to show you some details about the property and discuss parking. After the first visit, book whenever you want! If you absolutely cannot make it these days for your first visit, we can work something out. 🙂

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

It’s the woods! Briars, roots, vines, ticks, wild blackberry bushes, mole holes in some of the open spots, wet areas, poison ivy, creek, swimming hole. Nature! Where the creek enters and exits the property, be aware that there are small areas where a determined dog could get through. We need to keep these small areas open for the visiting beavers who like to travel down the creek from the adjacent pond. Otherwise they chew our fence!

Is the host present?
I prefer to meet my guests on their first visits
Additional rules

I would like to meet guests before their first visit to show them options for parking and the general lay of the land. Anyone that is interested in using the agility equipment is required to have had at least a beginner's course in agility before being allowed to use the equipment. This is an important safety issue.

Never enter a spot before your booking start time and never leave late.
Pick up after your dogs. Leave the spot as it was when you arrived.

We love the quiet country life and enjoy offering our space to dogs who would not normally be able to stretch their legs!
