55I was very impressed with how well-maintained this sniffspot is, especially considering how expansive it is— I’ve been to smaller places that were not nearly this nice! Our dogs loved exploring the trails and observing the goats, chickens, and bunnies. So much fun and we will definitely be back! Emily R.

55First time using Sniff Spot for me and my buddy. He had a great time! The property has your choice of both fenced and unfenced areas. There’s maps included and a poop station. There are some goats, rabbits, and chickens as well near the home. 10/10!Le'Chan C.

55This place was wonderful! TONS of space for the dogs to go wild. There were toys, water stations, poop bags, treats, and even sunscreen and bug spray. It was clean and the farm animals (we fenced in) were fun for the dogs to sniff as well. Highly recommend!Ryan B.

55My dog Eli is snoring big time after playing with the owner’s dogs this afternoon. Running through the woods, seeing the goats, bunnies, and chickens, enjoying his canine buddies-what a life! This is my favorite Sniffspot area ever!Christine S.

55We had a great time! The place was easy to find, and had PLENTY of space for the dogs to run around and explore! The goats and chickens are very cute- and fenced in their own areas- and we enjoyed the trails and various sitting areas. We will absolutely be back! Julie M.

55This was our first time and our dogs had a blast! The area is fully fenced and secure. There is also a great, helpful map to introduce you to the property, since it is pretty large. Will definitely come back!Betty H.

55Had a great time with my German Shepherd! The fence was secure, and I was comfortable with my dog off leash. Lots of room to run! We will be back Nicole K.

55My dog and I loved this spot! Definitely a great place to practice being off leash while still contained within a large fenced area. Dottie especially loved seeing the goats! Katherine A.

55Beautiful, clean, shady and lovely!
The only drawback was the goats and rabbits in the pen right up along the fence ---
My 3 Herding-mix dogs are trained to recall and follow, but they were fixated on where the goats were no matter how far away we got and I had to continually recall them --:).
So, for us, we won't go back, BUT if your dogs are less distracted by up close livestock, then we highly recommend this spot!

55What a WONDERFUL spot! My dog and I had a great time running free in the very spacious and beautiful property. Moose was a bit obsessed with the farm animals so that was a big distraction but still enjoyed and will absolutely be back!Erica C.

55Had a blast! Our 2 dogs were able to run free. The host has gone above and beyond by adding a map and clearly marking all of the trails while you are on them. The goats and bunnies are adorable (in their own pen) and my one dog enjoyed saying hi. We leashed our dogs and did a lap in the unfenced area and that was great too. There are nice gates separating the 2 areas so nothing to worry about there. We will definitely be back!! Samantha B.

55Another perfect visit! Eli played with Carol’s two dogs and got more exercise today than he had all last week. Funny thing is that I started coming here for my dog but it’s also become a mini vacation for me! Christine S.

55Fantastic property. Our mini Aussie loved zooming and we enjoyed knowing she was contained and safe. This is what our daughter chose to do as a birthday experience. Her review: "That was EPIC. It far surpassed my expectations. We have to come back". I think she liked it.Sherry A.

FAQ about our Stem dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Stem area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 141 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 25 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
