55Great place and peaceful to play with your pup(s)
55Lovely spot
55It was incredible! Beautiful property and our dog loved swimming and fetching her toys. Lots of places to sit and we enjoyed the beautiful view.
55My dog had such a good time at this Sniffspot. There’s plenty of room for him to run around. He even went into the water and was totally fearless, something he hasn’t really done before. It’s exactly as described.
55Great spot to let your dogs run snd swim!
55This Sniffspot was excellent! I’m so glad we made the drive down for it. My dogs loved the open field and being able to swim in the water. It wasn’t a problem that it was unfenced because the area is so large. Also the concrete floor in the water gave the dogs an area to rest in the water which helped cool them off, just watch the initial jump in the water so they can see it! My dogs were so happy here they didn’t want to leave. We’ll definitely be back!
55Beautiful spacious place for your pup to run around and stretch their legs. My girl had a blast running around and watching the kayaks go by. We will definitely be going back. Thanks again Chuck!
55My dogs had the best time!!! Highly recommend bringing your pups here!
55We had such a blast here! The backyard and waterfront view were absolutely beautiful. Our dog had the best time swimming and exploring and was completely exhausted by the time we left. We even had a tour boat go by and wave at us, and we got to watch planes taking off! Such a fun and unique spot. We would definitely come back!
55Wiseacre was amazing! My dogs had an awesome time and we can’t wait to go back.

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.
