55First time using Sniffspot and this was the best place to visit. Instructions for arrival and the hike were clear. This property has access to the creek which was awesome. Hiking down to the creek was easy, but for folks that may have some mobility issues keep in mind that the walk back to your car is steep and uphill. With the recent rain the creek is FLOWING, which might not be ideal for little dogs or older dog. They did offer to reschedule our visit since it was raining which was really nice but it was bath day for our pup so we didn’t mind. All in all we will be back, but most likely when the creek is not as full so that our pup can get wet without being swept away by the current. Kudos to the hosts for sharing such an awesome spot!

55David and Alma gave really clear directions so getting there was a breeze. The trails were clean and the views were gorgeous. Our pups enjoyed the creek, picked up sticks and ran around freely. I think the different trails can use a little more signage, but it wasn’t anything that took away from the experience (Alma also provided a very clear play by play of how to get to the creek). Overall 10/10! Karina B.

55It was a great experience!! The host was wonderful!! The place was amazing!! Very clean and beyond spacious. My dogs were able to be off leash, which is something they’ve never done before. The dogs loved every second of their free range. It was so nice not to worry about other dogs and people, since one of my dogs is a little reactive. My 3 dogs had the best of time!!! Saira S.

55I booked this Sniffspot maybe an hour before the time and headed there. You don’t really get service when you get closer to the place so make sure you text the host before hand for location and access info. The host is soooo nice and helpful and wanted to make sure you have all the info to have a good time! Her son met me at the entrance to give me a run through of the location too! 10/10 recommend! I went during sunset hour and it was beautiful! My dog loved it!!! There are uphills and downhills so just bring appropriate shoes. Michelle M.

55Our dog had the best time!! So many zoomies and so much fun running after her ball in the stream. The humans had a picnic and a great time too! Recommend hiking shoes and water shoes if you’re worried about slipping but neither are necessary. Loved it!Crystal Y.

55David and Alma's property was simply breathtaking. We came here for my dog's birthday along with a few of his friends and they had a blast exploring. We added the private access to the stream and was well worth it for them to get some water play in there. Directions were super clear and the hosts are very accommodating and super easy to work with. 100% would book again!Tony H.

55This was our first Sniffspot reservation, I figured it would be a good way for all three of us to get out of the house, I was right. This spot was beautiful, walking among the avocado trees with him off leash, having a blast was and knowing we had the place ourselves worth it. Stream access was worth the extra cost as well. Alma made sure detailed instructions were sent and made sure we got back alright, the lemonade at the end was excellent. We'll be back for sure.Levi W.

55I can’t thank David and Alma enough for such a special day. Memories I’ll have forever. My dog has never run around with so much freedom and joy!
The spot is beautiful and clean and I was given very clear directions before my visit. I love that there is a hammock and picnic table available too. I packed dog friendly foods and we enjoyed sitting by the stream to eat and watch the scenery.
I cannot wait to go back and plan to make the trip every few months so my dog can be… well, a dog! No leash, no harness and so much to explore.Trisha M.
