Really enjoyed this new spot with my two dogs! The fenced in yard was a great mix of sunny grassy areas and shade, with lots of spots for my dogs to enjoy exploring. A great deck area too which my dogs thoroughly enjoyed lounging on after they tired out from playing & running around the yard. I’ll definitely explore the additional acreage on their property next time! Note: My GPS was a bit off & said I was at the property about 1/2 a block too soon. There’s a row of mailboxes visible on main road & that’s where you turn to go all the way down long shared driveway & their property is at the end. Thanks Ana!

This spot truely is a haven, and a favorite for our two big dogs. It's got tons of fenced in space for the dogs to run, and right next to a little creek which is great for cooling of after some serious playing!

Great spot! The wooded area and stream is awesome. I was able to let my dog off leash and she had a blast!

Relaxing and fun! My dog was ecstatic to discover the small creek within the first 5 or so minutes of exploring the grounds. She has exceptional ability to gravitate to any source of water lol. Majority of our time was spent outside of the yard and it was so good for us to peacefully meander through open space and on trail in the woods. Spent very little time in the yard, which would have been very fun too. Have to say, from my out of shape perspective, that is quite a hill in the yard! Would have liked to do more fetch the ball up the hill to work my dog's back legs, as it is perfect incline. Do hope to return, especially when it is warmer for more water play.

Great location! Definitely hilly but large yard great for fetch! The dogs could almost play fetch by themselves by letting the ball role down the hill and going to retrieve it.

This was my dog’s very first visit to any sniffspot and the land was very well maintained and easy to find. The fencing was very secure and I liked the hanging hammocks for people. It had lots of space for Benji to explore and smell. We only ended up staying for 30 minutes instead of an hour because Benji kept whining at the owners back door. He really wanted to go inside and explore the house as well. Hahaha Benji and I will be back to this location.

Excellent yard and space for our dog to run around. He loved playing fetch on the hill, that really tired him out!! The kiddie pool was a nice touch and our dog did not want to leave. We didn’t get to meet the owner, maybe next time.

Awesome spot for our one year old lab to burn off some energy. He was good for about ten minutes before he was pooped! 🤣 Lots of green space to run and play fetch. We didn’t get to use the baby pool but it was there for use along with other goodies. Will def be back!

Zeus and Neli (“Bean”) had so much fun!! Zeus has a blast playing in the kiddie pool and running up and down the hill. Bean met the hosts’ cat and was doing well until her little brother Zeus came running over 🤣 the hosts were so sweet and generous. They made the fence EXTRA secure while we were there. We even got to meet the hosts’ beautiful dogs for a bit. We can’t wait to go back!!

Great wooded area. Convenient and easy to access and low touch is good for user and owner. They were great...flexible. My pup loved the hike so much we didn't even go to our 2nd one we'd lined up for the day. Great hills and enough area to steal clear of neighbors likely property lines.

We had so much fun at this Sniffspot!! There was so much space for my dog to play around and she loved the toys and the kiddie pool that was provided! I felt very secure with the fence and we didn’t have any interactions with other dogs. I will definitely be booking again!

Our first visit to a Sniff Spot and it was GREAT! We booked for one dog, one hour. The agility course kept my German shepherd busy for the full hour. Next time we will book two-hours and explore the other space. Clean, secure, private, and loads of fun!

We love the ample space, the toys, and all the agility equipment. This time we used the pool which was easy to fill and put away again.

This is the second time we've visited this location. We've always had a great time. The sniffspot comes with great obstacles for dogs and is just a perfect size for a dog to stretch his/her legs and have a great time
