55The host was incredibly kind and helpful in guiding us to the beautiful trails on property. Titan, the property’s guide dog was very friendly. The space is open, rustic and lovely all around. We look forward to our return!!! Isabelle G.

55This Sniffspot is the best we’ve ever visited! Ryan is wonderful and showed us to the trailheads when we arrived at the property. Our guy had a blast exploring and we did too. The property is alive and diverse - lots to see. Book with confidence! Ali S.

55This place was so amazing! Very easy to find the property, and while we missed the area to park initially, Ryan met us in the driveway and showed us where to park and walked us to the main intersection of the trails to begin. All of the trails were marked with red tape and were easy to follow. The creek was dry when we visited so we used that as a trail too! We saw chickens and ducks and a turkey, which made my dog jump when it gobbled 😂 We looped around the property a few times during our 2 hours, and my golden was exhausted by the end of it from all the new smells. We will definitely be back! Madison F.

55This was a perfect stop for Rosie and I on our cross-country trip. The trails are marked by red ribbons and are not too long so we looped around them once or twice (Rosie ran off leash and it really tuckered her out). There is a small creek. We went during the winter so the leaves were on the ground and the trees were bare. That helped us wander around a bit more. Ryan met us and showed us where to park and gave us a small tour. We will definitely swing back around when we drive back! Put on your hiking boots, it can get muddy through the woods! =)Jacqulyn G.

55We had a great time! We stopped by Stoney Brook Farm on our way to visit family, and it was the perfect spot for Rilo to decompress in the woods after a long car ride. Ryan and his wife were so helpful in making sure we found the place. Our pup loved playing in the stream and romping around the many trails. Kaeti H.

55Finding it was tricky, but ironically it was Tyson the farm's dog who found us. Ryan was kind when meeting us and showing us where the trails began. The property is beautifully wooded with marked trails. We had an amazing hike, and my pup loved the off leash time. I bought some chicken and duck eggs as well! We'll be back after we get moved closer to the area. Cheryl M.

55A lovely farm for a walk! The trails are well marked and shady. My dogs were very relaxed and happy to be there. My dogs loved playing in the creek. Ryan was very kind and showed us how to access the trails. We did not try out the fenced yard on this trip. We will definitely be back!Christy M.

55This place is a gem! Ryan was a great host, the trails are well marked, and there is lots of space to explore. River loved running the trails and playing in the creek. We loved it so much I came home and booked another session!
As a bonus, Titan, their Great Pyrenees, was a pleasure to meet along with their other dogs AND they have organic, free-range chicken and duck eggs for sale!
This was a lovely peaceful escape. Give it a try! Brooke A.

55We had a blast at Stony Brook Farm! Ryan was there to greet us and show us around when we pulled in. They have a huge property with acres of woods for the pups to run and explore. I felt comfortable enough to let my dog, Moose, off leash to roam around. They also have a bunch of farm animals that Moose was able to meet along with their dog Titan, who is a friendly gentle giant. Awesome place, we will definitely be back!Ali C.

55We had an absolutely excellent visit! Ryan, Titan, & Bailey (the latter two being gentle, friendly dogs) were excellent hosts. Tons of land to explore & Ryan made sure to close up the farm pens once Bart got too excited. Kaylee S.

55Beautiful spot! The host met us when we arrived and showed us the trails on the property. My dog enjoyed meeting their adorable dog! If your dog prefers to sniff around solo with no dog friends, the host was very accomodating and they checked in with us about socialization. We had a great time!Lindsay P.

55This was a really fun Sniffspot for us. It’s not far from I-81 so it was a great break for the dogs (and me!) during a long car trip. It’s a working farm with poultry, goats, and other dogs on site, but the host was very accommodating about the other dogs. Two were out of sight and hearing the entire time. One easy-going dog was out when we arrived but the host offered to put him inside. It worked out fine-my reactive boy became good friends with this dog. They even chased a rooster together!!! But-the host will work with you on this if you have a dog that doesn’t like other dogs. Sharen M.

Why are private dog hiking trails better than public dog parks in Stuarts Draft?

Whether you have a fearful puppy, a reactive adult, a fragile senior, or simply want peace of mind, private bookings give you control.
How safe are Stuarts Draft dog hiking trails compared to public dog parks?
Stuarts Draft dog hiking trails are significantly safer than public facilities.
