Yard is spacious and host is very kind! Be careful if your dog tends to wander off and get into stuff they shouldn’t, although the side of the property with a busy street has a fence so that made me feel better. Good spot, just come prepared if your pup is an adventurer!

Great place! My dog loved running around and exploring. There was a trail in the woods and several around the fields.

My golden retriever, Miko, loved visiting this beautiful property. He enjoyed hiking in the woods, playing in the creek, and swimming in the pond. I enjoyed being able to walk him off leash and practice his recall abilities without fear of other people, dogs, or traffic. Being that a large portion of the property is in the woods, be prepared for a little mud; but that just adds to the pup's fun, right!? A little rinse off in the pond before heading home cleaned it all off. And the owner even offered a towel to dry off my dog- now that's service. I will say that since this is private property and not a park, it will only get better as the trails are more defined. I did lose my way and got lost in the woods so I would encourage anyone visiting to bring their iphone to rely on their compass and navigation system to get them back to the house. As we visit more, which we definitely will do, it will get better as I start to learn my way around and get my bearings. Sorry no pics; we were having too much fun!

Zuko really enjoyed his time at this Sniffspot! He loves the woods and it was so nice to be able to let him explore to his heart's content off-leash.

As described, nice wooded area. Will come back in the summer since it was pretty wet and muddy but overall great experience

We had a great time. The dogs loved being off lead running and exploring.
I never felt concerned about the lack of fence, the property is set far enough off the road that it really was nothing I worried about.
I did picked up after the dogs and ended up. as I did not see anywhere to dispose of it, taking it away with me.
It was very muddy, but it’s winter, been raining recently so I was expecting it and prepared accordingly.
Thank you we had a wonderful time, and will be back.
(I did not think to take a photo, we were having too much fun!)

This spot is awesome! They have a trail through the woods that feels like a public trail but without having to worry about running into anyone. It was a bit of a drive for us but totally worth it!

Carmen loved it again! She didn't find the rope anywhere this time but there were a multitude of other things to find and mess with

The whole family enjoyed this Sniffspot! We hiked all over the property. It is wonderfully maintained and plenty of area to explore. It was worth the drive from Cleveland!

Wonderful spot! Our dogs ran nonstop for almost a full hour. They enjoyed jumping in the lake and sniffing around the trails in the woods behind the house. Great communication from the owner as well.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL scenery and personable host! Marina offered to bring her dogs out and all three had a great time with each other, lots of space to run around and easy access to the lake! Will have to try out the trails in the woods next time.

This place was great! 2 of our 3 standard poodles realized they like water. The trails were beautiful, and the natural barriers and long, long distance from the road made us very comfortable.
My teen son had a blast chasing the dogs all over the woods. We will definitely come back!

Serene, quiet spot for dogs and humans. Clean lake for dogs who like the water. Comfortable chairs for lounging and other amenities! Gracious hosts! It's our 2nd time, will be back. 100% worth the drive from Cleveland area.

Another great visit! We put my grumpy old man up and let my 2 year old (intact male) play with Marina's pups. They were perfect gentlemen. Thanks again!

The property is beautiful! My dog had a great time sniffing the side yards and hopping in and out of the water. Waze took us the right direction and it was pretty easy to find!

Another wonderful visit to the lake! I'm pretty sure our girls would gladly stay forever and leave us. 🤣
The resident dogs did bark a bit when we 1st arrived but then we didn't hear them. Just a note to those with pups that might struggle with that.

Difficult to find via Google maps but this place is worth is. Loved the little lake and plenty of room to roam!
