55It’s an easy to find location with a variety of toys for the dogs, waterbowl, water hose, chairs & restroom. We enjoyed playing fetch and it was very safe because of the fence, wiring & private screen. We will come back!Aline G.

55I am so thankful there was a privacy screen. The neighbors dogs were out for a little & the screen really helped my reactive dog stay under threshold!

55Fun place! Described accurately by the host! Thoughtful artwork and stained glass panels adorn the fences, pretty cool! And "Jolene" was quite charming! You can hear the neighbors dogs but not see them. The host obviously cannot control that, this is simply a comment and no concern/complaint, but the survey question lumps "can you see or hear dogs", with no option to clarify. Will be back!Susan W.

55Dianne was very communicative and accommodating when I was running late. We didn’t end up using Field 1 so I can’t speak to that particular area. But both times I have used their space it has been great. Jamie O.

55Amazing!! Easy to find and no escape route for our escape artist huskies. Directed to the Sniffspot blog for detailed directions to Field 1 I didn’t find but found the bluebird mural. The host came out and showed us the 2 fields. What a wonderful idea this app is benefiting host and guests. This location truly sets the bar high. I will try other spots as this one may become competitive for availability but it’s literally 10 minutes from our Clackamas home.Amy R.

55My dogs have never enjoyed a place more; however, I think I had an even better time. Diane came over to greet me and I loved getting to know more about the property. This will definitely be a regular spot for us when we need to escape PDX. Nichelle A.

55Easy to find and a very pleasant place to visit. Love the murals and the mannequins. The hose with the spray nozzle was especially handy since the dogs did get wet and dirty. We will be back! Thanks!Linda G.

55Been to this space a few times, the dogs always have a great time! This time around I noticed they added some privacy screens along the fence that faces the neighbors yard, so great to eliminate any potential triggers of seeing other dogs in another yard. So happy they offer their land to us! Mandy T.

55This is our 4th time on their property and the 2nd to this particular spot, and it's great! Plenty of space, no other dogs, some livestock that caught our dog's attention, and a disc golf basket to get some practice putts in on. The water/water bowl was frozen, so if you're coming on a cold day, don't forget to bring your own.Pa F.

55Lovely spot! Peaceful area which was a nice change of pace from PDX. Murals were very nice to look at. My dog had a great time sniffing and running as fast as he could! Directions to find the spot were very clear. As an owner of an anxious dog, I appreciated that the road with big trucks and a couple of dogs living across the way were not visible. Liz R.

55My two pups had such a wonderful time playing and sniffing! What I like best about this spot is that it is nice and flat with no holes that I could find! Beautiful view of Hood!Robin D.

55This is a great spot! It's so peaceful out here in the country, and my dog loved running and sniffing around. At the end of our visit, the beautiful cows felt curious and came up closer. It was magical!Ashley T.

55Whoa, best sniff spot yet! Great size, clean, safe, and and just general good vibes. We'll definitely return often.
One thing to note: the gate doesn't close properly, but your can prop something against it easily to keep it closed. Hilary D.

55We love coming to the field to play. Fernie starts wiggling with excitement when we turn in the driveway. The field is nicely maintained, hose for fresh water with bowl. Seats, table, restroom, and beautiful land. Thank you for having a place to bring my girl for exercise. Having a reactive dog is stressful and being able to get a place to run and play off leash and by ourselves is a joy!! Carla K.
