55A slice of paradise! This is a true treat. I brought a pup for the shelter to give him a break from his kennel. He had the BEST time! Stream hike is amazing & I recommend a minimum of an hour and a half to fully enjoy. I’ll be back!Ashleigh D.

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.

55It was awesome my dog had a blast.
Love that there's lots of different things both wild and otherwise growing there. My dog refused to stick to the path but it was all pretty safe anyways. Angel 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.

55Our time at Alma and David's Sniff Spot was truly remarkable! They impressed us with their superb communication skills and went the extra mile, providing detailed directions and photos to ensure we didn't lose our way. The property itself is a paradise – stunning, lush, and impeccably maintained. The peace of mind knowing our pups could freely roam off-leash in the beautiful landscape without concerns about other humans and dogs was truly comforting. Opting for stream access turned out to be a brilliant choice! It was worth every penny, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. The pups had an absolute blast splashing around, adding an extra layer of joy to the overall experience. This first-time sniff spot adventure exceeded expectations, making the 75-mile drive completely worthwhile. I'll definitely return for another visit, giving it a solid 5 stars!Joan P.

55This place is something special. This was our second time there and we chose it as a fun adventure for the dog's 4th birthdays. We drive up from San Diego because there is nothing like this down by us. The property is well kept and stunningly beautiful, the hosts are unbelievably kind, and it's the perfect place for a special occasion. The stream hike is an absolute necessity in my opinion. My boys love to splash in the water and chase each other through the river. We will definitely be back!Amy G.

55So much fun. Absolutely beautiful host was great. Very helpful. My dogs loved it. He loves water and we could not keep him out of the stream. They both do not want to go home. I have never seen my dogs happier it was a beautiful thing to experience. One of my dogs does not like water, but he ended up getting the confidence to go in the water.Brittany R.

55Rain caused our initial reservation to get rescheduled. Host is very friendly and understanding. Of course the day we rescheduled also ended up being a rainy day! But this time we were prepared for it and the rain didn’t seem as bad. The hike to the creek can be a little slippery due to the rain but we had no issues finding the location of the sniffspot and hiking to the creek. The dogs loved it and we’ll definitely come back again! Thank you!Glynis C.

55If your used to hiking your dogs several miles this place is a great alternative without the stress of other dogs, people throwing trash on the trail or loud music disturbing nature.
Communication is a 10/10. Highly recommended the lemonade & excited to try the other amenities. Got in a good workout with all of the hills.

55The pups had a great time on the hike and in the stream. If your dogs don’t have good recall, I would definitely recommend they stay on leash. One of our dogs got a little too excited with the water and tried to run down the stream. But overall a great spot and a great time! A very large and beautiful property Nicole C.

55Hosts gave amazing detailed directions the night before & day of to their remote/beautiful location. We added creek trail to our time, and our dogs loved it! Definitely some steeper parts of the trail to the creek. We spent 2.5 hours hiking around and exploring, our 3 dogs loved it. Chelby S.

55The place is amazing! It is like having your private hiking trail. Our doggo loved it! Besides, the hosts are extremely nice! We arrived super late because we got lost (heads up, we use Google Fi and our phone carrier did not work in the area. We had to drive 20 minutes back to the city area to call the host and get the code gate text. So, I recommend getting the code before leaving). Still, the hosts were super nice and helped us with everything!Juliana G.
