55Amazing Sniffspot! Our girl had the BEST time. She especially loved the thoughtful toys that were in the sandpit and running around with the flirt stick in the big field---she even went after it when I put it away when we had to leave hahaha :)Kathleen M.

55Such a great SniffSpot! Love how nicely it was marked with the flags and the trails were nice and wide and easy to walk on. The dogs loved it. We made it to a little creek. It was really shallow so they did get a bit muddy and needed baths after.
Parking is really close to a high traffic road but once you get to the clearing, I felt it was safe to let my dogs off leash and start the trail.
We will definitely be back and take a different trail next time!Huong N.

55A dogs paradise!
They have everything a dog will want/need. We were greeted by the host upon arrival. She was friendly and welcoming.
My dog has never been interested in playing ball anywhere other than her own yard. She usually has her nose to the ground the whole time. I was so pleasantly surprised when she started running! I thought she was running towards the horses next door, but she wasn’t. She was just happy! She even went over to where the balls were and wanted to play ball! I didn’t think she was going to chase after it but she did, and kept wanting to play more 😍 It melted my heart knowing she was so happy and comfortable being here. Venus R.

55The owner, Mary Grace, greeted us warmly a few minutes after we arrived. She went over all the spaces in detail. We were told we had he run of all the areas as nobody else had reserved. Plenty of toys and sticks to keep a pup engaged. There were chairs and benches for us to sit and enjoy our coffee. We plan on coming again. Janet D.

55Odie LOVED this Sniffspot! It was so well kept, HUGE fields for running around and catching frisbees, and had so many fun toys and activities! Next time I’ll plan on staying for more than an hour because they’re are so many cool things to try. Can’t wait to come back! A beautiful spot! Meghan H.

55This spot was amazing! It’s easy to get to and there’s a little table with a map that’s helpful when trying to figure out what field to use. It was very clean and obviously well taken care of. The field that we used had a great selection of toys available. We will absolutely be going back again! Jackie S.

55The host was very nice she came out and introduced herself and told us about the different fields. The back field was a nice sized area, plenty of room for our pup to run around and play fetch in. The agility field ran parallel with the road and unfortunately people were walking their dog in the street so we didn’t have a chance to try it out. But we’ll definitely be going back!Bianca V.

55Lovely place and the owner is very nice. My senior dog rolled in the grass & napped in the sun, while my young dog ran and ran around the main field. Looking forward to spring plants growing in the nose garden! Faren W.

55This was our first time visiting Mary Grace and Ralphie had a BLAST! Her land is more than impeccable, the different areas were so fun to explore and play in, and everything was set up so perfectly. We will definitely be back! Megan G.

55A great space with a welcoming host! Loved all the toys and space to play. An added benefit was that the neighboring horses helped my golden retriever to become desensitized to them at her own pace. She could choose whether to remain on the other side of the yard from the horses or to venture closer to them.Elizabeth H.

55This place is the best!! Our dog Bella LOVES to come and play with her ball in the big yard. She also likes to sniff around the other 3 pastures. The fences are always secure so I don’t have to worry about Bella getting loose. There’s extra toys/balls to play with and water available. Mary Grace is such a kind soul, Bella always loves to say hi to her. We have been coming to this sniff spot most weekends for the past 2 years. Bella is reactive to other dogs so we can’t take her to the dog park to run around. There’s 2 horses next door but most of the time aren’t around the fence line and Bella doesn’t care about them anymore. I’m so thankful that we found this Sniffspot - it’s the best and makes my dog so happy every time we go. Jen H.

55This was our second time visiting and again, it was amazing! Mary grace had more agility equipment out this time and I was able to have Ralphie practice with it. His favorite is the open field. Thank you again for sharing your amazing land as a Sniffspot!Megan G.

55This spot is truly spectacular. Our pup had so much room to run and spent so much time in the garden area sniffing everything. He loved seeing the horses and had a blast on the agility ramps. So worth the hour drive from Virginia. Super clean and the grass in all areas is really well maintained. Thank you for offering such a lovely spot!Dee B.
