Love, love, love this spot! It is quiet, private and very laid back. It's enough room for the dogs to run and investigate......even better if your dog has a really reliable recall. Mine are a work in progress so when they are off leash I make sure that I can see them which limits them just a bit but if your dogs can reliably run loose they will be in heaven! (I also put air tags on mine as well as their ID tag, just in case) The host is very pleasant and responsive. All good!
David is super laidback and his spot is a lowkey gem! So many cool places and things for my dog to explore and check out. We couldn’t find where to directly access the river, but that was fine because I’d rather not put a wet dog in my car. Spot was very easy to find and parking is straight down the driveway. The only thing is when we were coming back down the dirt path to go back to my car, we heard a dog barking nearby but we did not see it anywhere.
We had a great time visiting today. David met us as we arrived and he was very pleasant and helpful. Lots to explore and Rusty enjoyed the water, even on this breezy March day. The map was a good resource though I don’t think we checked every aspect of the property. I will definitely return as this was a great off leash spot!
Always a great time! And cleared more space for the dogs to run!
David’s Sniffspot continues to be the best of the best. My dogs have the time of their lives whenever we visit (and so do I). Can’t wait to come back soon!
David’s Sniffspot is quite simply a gem. Plenty of space for dogs to run free without the worry of bumping into any unexpected people or dogs. There’s a lot of exploring to do, lots of different areas to check out, and beautiful wide trails that keep you on track. I can’t wait to come back. Thanks, David!!!
Always a good time! The dogs absolutely love their time at David’s!
Love this place! Woods, water, mud: a little something for everyone 🤣🤣
One of the best sniffspots in New England. Thank you for sharing !!
Hands down, this is the best Sniffspot. David was very quick to respond to our booking request and gave detailed instructions on where to park, along with a map of the property. The property is beautiful, with several spots with bodies of water, cool scrap metal/antiques to look at, sniffs galore, and all the branches/sticks my dog could ask for. The map was helpful as other reviews mentioned, but aside from using it as a reference so we didn't go off the property, it wasn't necessary since there were creative named signs up and the walkable paths are well maintained. We wound up having such a great time we asked if we could extend our stay and David was more than accommodating. We will definitely be back!
