55It's a beautiful location with so much space and Chuck was very friendly!!
55Great time as usual!
55The lot is beautiful with easy access to the water. I brought my own bags,water, and bowl but the host also provides. It was easy to keep my dog in the boundaries of the property and lots of room for him to run.
55Such a beautiful spot perfect for flynn! He had all the room to run and all the water to swim in! Chuck took the time to come out and say hi and was so accommodating! I was going to cancel Sniffspot but since we’ve found this place I can’t!
55Chucks spot was gorgeous! Such a relaxing vibe , so much space for my furry bestie to run , he provides poopy bags and a hose if needed. Highly recommended it’s so relaxing for both you and your pet ! Can’t wait to go back !
55Our favorite Sniffspot! My dog has so much fun and thoroughly enjoys the freedom to run and swim!
55Awesome spot to let your dog run around and swim. Very peaceful. Will definitely be coming back.
55We had such a nice time here! The dogs loved swimming in the lake and had plenty to sniff and explore. The grounds were freshly cut, clean, and well maintained, with chairs for the humans too. The lake entry is a little steep, which may be worth considering for smaller or more apprehensive dogs, but once our nervous dog got in, he had a lot of fun. The host was very friendly, kind, and happy to answer any questions we had. Looking forward to coming back!
55100/10! This place was awesome we will be back!
55Beautiful space. My dog had the time of her life. Slept until the next day lol will be back for sure

Hello Sniffers! Such fun to share my rather expansive backyard and lake with you. I have a 9.5yo Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Charlotte. Dogs have been part of my life since I was a kiddo.

Welcome to our spacious, fully fenced yard – the perfect place for your pup to run, sniff, and explore! You’ll find easy street parking nearby – feel free to park in any available spot. Entry to the yard is through the gated door on the right side of the house, clearly marked with a Sniffspot sign. Our yard offers plenty of spaces for dogs of all sizes to roam freely and safely. Whether your dog loves to zoom, sniff every corner, or just relax in the sun, this is the spot! 🏃‍♂️🐕 We’ve also added some fun dog agility equipment, including hoop jumps and weave poles – great for active pups or training practice. For pet parents, there’s a cozy outdoor couch where you can kick back and unwind while your dog plays. We’ve stocked a black storage box with all the essentials: 🐾 Treats 💩 Poop bags 💧 Water bowls (small and large) 🎾 Dog toys 🗑️ Trash can and 💦 water source are located to the left of the steps. • To turn on the water, twist the handle counterclockwise, and turn clockwise to shut it off. • To get the water flowing, just pull the trigger foward on the nozzle. Come enjoy a fun, stress-free outing with your furry friend!
