55Our dogs had so much fun in the water and watching the horses! Definitely coming back!
55We had a wonderful visit. Beautiful pool and scenery. Plenty of property for our pup to run and play. There was a covered patio so enough shade to chill out of the sun. Even though it was a very hot summer day the walkway around the pool was not hot so we didn’t worry about it burning tender puppy paws. The host was so thoughtful and provided toys and towels. Our girl had so much fun swimming and retrieving ball after ball!
55Beautiful place, great pool (big enough and small enough I didn’t need to worry about getting to him), and very clean! He loved it so much we extended our visit an extra 30 minutes!
55This place was absolutely perfect and the host was very thoughtful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful land with us. We hope to be back soon :)!
55Beautiful Sniffspot! Our dogs loved wandering around and smelling everything, we don’t have dogs that swim but this was still a great experience for them. 10/10 would return!
55We swam with our two doodles today and the pool was amazing, the property is incredible and Justine was very knowledgeable about dogs. We had a lovely day! Thank you Justine!
55This was probably the most well thought-out and perfectly made sniff spot I’ve been to. The pool is such a rare and amazing opportunity for reactive dogs to be able to swim without the concern for algae or other dogs wandering around. It was a great size for the pups to swim around freely. The enclosed space had a large grass field surrounding the pool to run around. The flooring around the pool did not get hot, even though we did go when it was quite hot outside, so no concern for hot paws. The host also had provided everything I could’ve ever possibly forgotten, to include sunscreen, poop bags, pool accessories, and even dog toys. There were horses and a cow present on the property, outside of the fenced portion with the pool. River enjoyed staring at the cow from a distance! The horses kept to themselves in the portion of the property beyond the pool. We drove 2 hours to visit this sniff spot, and I will 110% be making this drive many times in the future. The dogs had a blast, and I couldn’t have been happier!
55We loved our time spent here! The backyard space and pool were absolutely awesome!! It’s such a gorgeous property! Directions were perfect, private entry, comfy seating, plenty of sun, green grass to play and water! The host was very thoughtful and communicative. All was accommodated for…towels, dog water, dog waste bags, and toys, if needed. Very private and peaceful! We will definitely be back!
55A pups dream! What a perfect little piece of paradise you guys have! We were able to get our little guy in the water and swimming for the first time! Thank you so much for having us- we will definitely be back!

Hazards

The 55 acres is where the wildlife and horses live. We allow our large dog to run the front pasture as this space is kept mowed. But note there is always a potential to come upon a snake. This space has a pond. I do not recommend it for swimming or drinking in the summer months. The pond will go dry by late summer. Beyond the front pasture is the wooded area with trails and small open fields. This space is home to snakes, coyotes, raccoons, hogs, bobcats, skunks, scorpions, cactus, stickers and thorns. This area is best explored during the winter months when snakes are less active. The horses roam free during the day year round. They are dog friendly as long as the dog doesn’t chase them or pose a threat to them. If unsure how your dog will respond to horses, keep on a lead during your time in the back 55. This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water

I am a dog mom to four dogs. Dogs are a passion of mine and always have been. I previously owned a dog daycare and boarding facility and since retired from the dog business. Now I devote a lot of my time ensuring my dogs live their best life, including letting them have the run of the back yard and pool. I think every dog should get to live their best life and want to share with others the space that brings so much joy to my pack.
