55I drove an hour to get to this location and it was WORTH IT! So many new smells my pup LOVED it! SAFE quiet and big w a small slope for Tito to run and exercise! Absolutely breathtaking view of the pasture and the horses kept a safe distance allowing Tito to get a whiff of what they were but not too close to intimidate him! Perfect afternoon! Would recommend for small and big dogs! Water was available and places for humans to sit and enjoy the fresh air!Elizabeth S.

55AWESOME Sniffspot! My dog had the time of her life running around and sniffing everything. Yard is very secure with plenty of space. Quiet and serene as well. There are horses which are nice to watch and my dog was very curious about them but they were far enough away that she wasn't scared of them. Only downside is that my dog found lots of things to roll in and we had to give her a bath afterward. But we had fun, and my dog had fun, and overall an A++ experience. Kate S.

55What a lovely first Sniffspot experience! The host was so gracious and inviting, and my dogs loved the area. They ran and ran until they were tuckered out, then sat and watched the horses and enjoyed the scenery. Lots to sniff and areas to explore. We will be back!Heidi T.

55This was such a fun place to hang out! The property was well maintained, it was fully fenced, and had tons of room to run and play! The host provided toys, water and a chair. The pups and I first walked the perimeter of the yard, and then grabbed our own favorite toys and played. The dogs had a good number of zoomies, games of “chase me” and they thoroughly enjoyed rolling in the grass. We did see the host, who offered a big smile and a wave, and even saw him walking his own pups outside of the fenced area. They were well behaved, and didn’t seem to worry about us being there. Of course it was my dog that barked, for the sake of barking. Ha!
Would love to come back soon!Keesha M.

55We had a great time and definitely will be back! Nicely fenced in and open for the dogs to run free. There was a nice big water bowl and toys for the dogs to use. Briefly met Sam who kept in touch, much appreciated! Can’t wait to come back:) Erika R.

55What an amazing sniffspot!!! Sam’s yard is absolutely heaven. The directions were easy to follow, the yard is beautifully maintained and so clean. The yard is also HUGE and the fencing is super secure. My dog had the time of his life running around and playing fetch. This spot is worth every penny! Caroline A.

55The property is very well kept--very bucolic vibe going on here. Plenty of room for my German Shepherd to run and run, and boy did he get that energy out! Very clean property, grass and fence well-maintained. I almost hesitant to leave a comment because I definitely will be going back again and don't want to run into a bunch of other people booking the times I'd like to book! However, the property does deserve a really good rating and this most definitely is a 5-star place to visit.Lorraine C.

55My dogs had a nice time sniffing around and checking things out. It isn't wooded at all as I had originally thought based on the pics with trees, but they had room to run around off leash somewhere besides our own yard for a change. The yard was clean and dry despite having rained recently. We didn't encounter the resident dog or any other animals, only the owner at a distance. We'd go again if in the area.
Oh and bring water for your pups. There's a bowl but nowhere to fill it. Kristy C.

55The land was well maintained. The grass was cut very nicely. The whole 2-3 acres was fenced in with no gaps or holes. There were a few shady spots for us to wait in while our dog explored. I’m very satisfied, as is my dog! Money well spent 😊Savanna H.

55Sam’s Farm is a chunk of paradise. The dogs had a great time running, playing ball, and just sniffing the grass. The atmosphere is wonderful—clean fresh country air, and peacefully quiet. Many thanks to our host for providing fresh water for the dogs, a canopy providing shade, chairs, and a tasty sample of freshly grilled ribs.Susan H.

55Our dogs had a wonderful time at Sam's Farm, and so did we. They loved running off leash in such a large, safe area and exploring. It was an easy drive and we would recommend it to anyone!Daren S.

55The property is located in a rural part of Prince William County that is secluded with green, rolling hills. The home sits behind fields of soybeans and the fenced-in area is attached to a barn and home. There is a smaller fenced area for the homeowner that is a tall, sturdy, wooden fence.
We met Sam and he was friendly and accommodating. He provided fresh water for our dogs. Our dogs enjoyed running around in the large area. They then played with Sam's black dog after we told Sam it would be a good thing since our dogs are friendly. His dog was kept inside until we talked to Sam and he brought him out and the dog was very friendly and enjoyed running with our two young dogs. We enjoyed our stay and will be back for sure! Thank you!Catyana F.

55We live in DC, it took us about 45 minutes to get to Sam’s spot and it was worth every second of the drive. The entire area was well fenced in, it was secluded and pushed back and away from other homes, and it had both sunny and shaded areas. We were able to sit and relax and throw the ball as far as we could with our dogs and they had the best time ever. Will 100% be back here soon !! Alley M.

55The space is huuuge and extremely well kept. Sam greeted us and introduced Foster to Nuno before they started chasing each other on the huge field. If your dog needs to get some serious zoomies out this is the right place :)Vesa K.

FAQ about our Broad Run 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Broad Run 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 419 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 49 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.
