Fully fenced as advertised and yard was clear, thus allowing our pups to safely roam and be their curious selves without fear of them getting a hold of anything they shouldn't. Owner was very welcoming and super kind to offer the flexibility for us to change timeslot when a full downpour rolled in at the start of our booking, but we decided to stick it out. We'll be back soon!

A great spot for our dogs to get some energy out. The pool was a bit of a challenge for us, my husband had to play pool guard when they got the zoomies and stopped using their brains, but was glad to give them space to run and they had a little agility course which was great to have some other activity to keep them occupied.

My two dogs and I had a great time here! The large yard is fenced w some agility toys and room to run and play. (I had misread the description and thought it was 5 fenced acres.) We also had fun exploring the woods in back but they are not fenced. Thank You so much!!

Great fencing and a really quiet, lovely location. My pups loved it. No other dogs or animals were visible except a few squirrels LOL!

The girls 🐾🐶 enjoy it so much! Lucia was so nice and let them use her sprinkler in a really hot day! They had a blast! The yard was full fenced, and clean we will definitely go back!

My dogs had a lot of fun sniffing and checking out the yard and bushes! The tree in the yard was helpful for some shade too! We’ll be back!

Such a wonderful experience! Christina and her husband were SO sweet - they set up water, treats, chairs, and had some toys laid out! My 2 pups had a great time exploring, running, sniffing, and playing in a safe space. We will absolutely be back and couldn’t recommend this enough!

Thank you both so much for being patient with Bahama Bob, it was great to be able to give him your beautiful yard to explore and run off leash. Your property was so clean and you both were wonderful to work with and loved sharing stories with great dog people. Look forward to our next visit.

Beautiful flat yard and nice fenced in area for my standard poodle pups to run around. Mix of sun and shade. Hosts delightful; Even some sniffari trails along the side fence behind the bushes. We did see a neighbors dog briefly but my reactive pup didn’t even notice. My dogs loved it and we will be back!

We didn’t make it as host was out of town but they quickly refunded money so very easy to deal with. We went the next day and LOVED the yard. See next review.

Great open space, fenced, easy parking. Met the host and they were very nice!! Water bowl for the dogs and even a jar of treats, which were a nice surprise, even if we didn’t take any. Privacy fence on 2/4 sides, 3-4’ wire/metal fence on other 2 sides. Solid amount of shade from a tree, toys from their own dogs, and some space behind the bushes to sniff. Neighbors/dogs could be heard but not seen and cars can be seen and heard but yard is pushed back from street. A note for people with small dogs who are escape artists: there are a couple spots in the fence that are blocked by a rock that were interesting to my big dog/escape artist.

My pup absolutely loved coming here. He frolicked in the creek and especially tired himself out by running up and down their large grassy yard. Quick and friendly communication by host as well!

The property was beautiful and the host was very accommodating and gracious. My Bodhi loved swimming in the lagoon/river and playing ball in the grassy area. We will definitely rebook in the future.

This was my first Sniffspot and my pup and I had a great time. There is so much to explore. Since she has no recall I kept her on a long lead. The water was a great feature.

I’m so appreciative the owners are sharing their beautiful property. My pups loved it. One note: enter the property from the front and walk around the house down by the river rather than going straight to the back down the driveway. That seems more off limits. Also, I picked up poop from someone else’s dog who left it.

This was our second time visiting and it was as fabulous as I remember! The most beautiful property with acres of hilly lawn, a wooded area, and a stream with a waterfall - this time we saw a white heron perched in the water! It’s truly a paradise for myself and my reactive dog. The homeowner is lovely as well - thank you so much!
