55Another amazing visit! Can't beat the creek. Josh was kind enough to let us know about campers on the property and directed us to park at a different location than usual so we and the campers still had privacy! We spent the full time playing in the creek, the dogs never want to leave when our time is up
55This place is absolutely incredible! 10 out of 10 would recommend!
55We enjoyed this Sniffspot our first time around, and came back this time with all 4 of our dogs. Safe to say, the quality has been maintained and it was a great time for every pup. Enjoyable open spaces to run around on a long-lead for our two working on recall, and perfect for the two off leash with recall. The creek is the best part.
55This place is awesome!
55This place is amazing! We have a high energy goofball, and it was great having him run around this property. We really like how the trails are set up and the communication from the host prior to arrival.
55Another great visit . The dogs love the space to run . Josh is a great host
45The spot was nice and very well marked. We had two dogs with us and they loved the creek. It was kept very clean and the trail was well maintained. The host was very friendly and super responsive. There were some guests camping on the property and I was not aware until around 2ish hours ahead of time. We did not see them once passing the campsite at all
55Super beautiful and spacious property! Just a heads up since it’s a wooded area, we picked up some ticks along the way. So just make sure to wear long pants and whatnot. Thanks so much for having us!
55Always a fantastic time! Gorgeous property and very quiet. My dogs had so much fun running and splashing in the creek!
55Beautiful, well groomed land, very private. A pond and a creek for dogs to play in. Make sure your dogs have pretty good recall, as we saw a deer and a wild turkey, and no significant fence. But for something like my dogs, Golden Retrievers who love to off leash hike, this is the absolute perfect property! Well worth the hour drive. Also a few picnic tables/benches on the property, so great spot for stopping for a snack or for pictures.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

There is a sportsman club about 10 miles from the farm. During fall time, you may hear gunshots in the distance, which may seem more amplified with the way our rolling hills are through this area. Don't be alarmed if you hear anything, as there is nothing to worry about while hiking our farm. Being in a rural area, other farmers may target practice from time to time, but the closest anyone would be in at least a mile or more. This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water Our creek isn't more than a few few deep but mostly about 1 foot deep. However, there are some pools that are deeper. When it rains, you can expect the creek to rise.

Water safety notice

Make sure to practice dog and human safety around water. Read more

The Hillside Sniffspot

Fully Fenced
2 acres

We would like to welcome you to a 2 acre, fully fenced dog yard that is on a hillside. The fence is 4 ft tall all the way around and safe for dogs, big and small. It's a natural space for the dogs to run, dig, sniff, or just sunbathe. It can be a bit steep in some areas and the Josephine road can be tricky when the weather gets icy. Bring a chair or wander through the trees and let your dog explore. The area is part forest and if you follow the top fence, it will take you over to a small, open field. We plan on keeping it natural so the dogs can enjoy the untouched habitat.

5-Acre Creekfront Meadow—15 Mins from Downtown Cincy!

Unfenced
5 acres

Welcome to your private 5-acre dog paradise—located just 15 minutes from downtown Cincinnati! Nestled along Uhl Road, this off-leash haven offers the perfect blend of wide-open space, shaded exploration, and water play for your pup. 🌲 The Property & Features Separate Lot & Unfenced: This property is unfenced. Our 5-acre meadow is located in a beautiful, semi-rural area directly across the street from our main 20-acre residence. It sits on its own separate lot with no homes or residential windows directly facing the space. Please note that while there are no houses adjacent to the field, it is located along a country road. You will likely hear passing cars, local traffic across the creek, neighboring roosters, or occasional barking dogs. Neighbors also occasionally walk along the road. If your dog is highly reactive or easily distracted by these types of sights and sounds, please keep this environment in mind! Open Run Meadow: A massive, grassy meadow perfect for high-energy fetching, training, or just letting your dog run at full speed. Shaded Trails: A scenic walking trail cuts directly through a mature canopy of trees, offering a cool, sniff-rich path from the parking area straight into the main meadow. Creek Access: Treat your pup to a refreshing splash! The property boundary includes easy, direct access to a natural creek at the southern edge of the meadow. 🚗 Parking & Arrival Dedicated Spot: Easy parking is located directly off Uhl Road on the park side of the street (opposite our main 20-acre residence and driveway). Clear Marking: Look for the marked "Sniffspot Parking" space right on the grass. Direct Entry: The trailhead starts immediately at your parking spot, leading you right into the meadow without having to cross the road.
