55We found the perfect Sniffspot!!! Could not be happier. Friendly hosts, beautiful ranch. Perfect place for our reactive dog to run free and play, without the risk of encountering other dogs. She LOVED it. Highly recommend the creek, which has a nice area for humans to relax too. We'll be back soon, and often!Billy R.

55Absolutely amazing! All the reviews say the Wi-Fi is spotty but that starts like a few minutes past Old Town. So text the host to get the info before hand! I have T-Mobile and Wi-Fi was almost non-existent. Once that issue was resolved it was easy to locate, signage on property is small so stay vigilant, parking is next to the bridge. I got lost and hosts were very kind and helpful. Paths were clear and all dirt but some areas can be steep so wear appropriate shoes for the river hike. I booked 3 hours in the morning which is more than enough and temp was cool. Was able to explore everything then give my dogs a rest and do it all over again. If you go off path there are burs everywhere, had to check the pups feet frequently and after. River hike is a small area but we spent a lot of time there, lots of seating and shade. No bathrooms, water, or feces disposal! Heard chickens at beginning of hike, didn’t see any animals domestic or wildlife, very secluded. Ran into one person who was working but he was very respectful of space. Overall this spot is excellent! Danielle J.

55The hosts were super helpful and responsive and the space is beautiful. I was grateful for a place to relax with my dog without having to think about the bustle of a more urban area. A couple of tips below, but a lovely spot that we’ll return to ♥️
Be aware that front gate to the property does remain open during the visit, it seems, so I don’t think fully fenced is completely accurate. It wasn’t a big deal for us as the entrance is far enough away, but that might be helpful info for others.
Another thing that might be helpful for others to know is that the listing says wheelchair accessible but at least the stream hike is definitely not (there is a wide enough area, but the grade is too steep—especially if you’re using a wheelchair solo).
Also, head’s up—be careful about the poison oak near the stream/hammock (I’ll include two pictures). It’s normal to find this out in nature and nothing the hosts are doing wrong, but it may be helpful for others to know if you don’t know what it looks like :)Jessica S.

55David and Alma are so accommodating, thoughtful, and kind. We arrived a bit early and Alma met us at the entrance to their property. She and David took us to the stream area on their rugged four-wheel vehicle while explaining some of the history of their property. Adventure! Wonderful views all around on the drive to the stream, which was only a few minutes away.
When we arrived at the stream, it was such a peaceful, lovely spot of nature!! Just BEAUTIFUL.
Our Bailey was in doggie heaven as she pranced up and down the clear, clean stream and ran around the land around it. We absolutely LOVED IT.
They had a large hammock, Adirondack chairs, a picnic table, and a super cool swing that hung above the stream! My daughter got on and lay down looking up at the sky above saying how nice and relaxed she felt.
When it was time to go (Alma allowed us extra time since we were the last visitors of the day), David picked us up and drove us back to our vehicle while giving us a bit more history of the property and surrounding land.
No words to express our gratitude to Alma and David for their generosity in sharing this secluded piece of paradise with us. We made sure to bring doggie poop bags, water/bowl, balls, and treats and to leave the area as PRISTINE as when we arrived.
We were sent off with a GORGEOUS mason jar of fresh, sweet organic dragonfruit lemonade (from their lemon trees), beautifully adorned with fresh sprigs of mint!!
We will definitely be back as we all needed this day away in nature and freedom for Bailey to just be her awesome canine self.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, ALMA & DAVID!!! Cannot wait to visit again. I hope you felt our gratitude and appreciation. Mimi S.

55Amazing property with such great hosts! The dogs got to run off leash (for the first time for mine, except for some minor beach off-leash) in nature, which is so healing and calming for them and for us humans as well! The creek was so amazing - I could have spent all afternoon there enjoying the water gurgling and the dogs enjoying exploring and sniffing. Will be back! Jan C.

55This place was the most amazing adventure for me and my pup. We paid extra for the creek trail and it was the best money I have ever spent. I see why everyone says to do more than an hour here because time just seems to fly by.

55First off, great service from David and Alma. We actually booked this spot earlier this summer and with how much hotter it is inland, they let us know it wouldn’t be safe for our dog that day and happily let us reschedule. Fast forward a few months later and by a cruel twist of fate our dog is sick with cancer; but we are spoiling her during her last days. When I told asked David and Alma about how strenuous the hike was, they said that other older dogs have been fine on the hike, and also very kindly offered to pick us up if Yaya got tired. Well, Yaya LOVED it and had plenty of energy to explore the whole 2 hours! She normally hates water but thoroughly enjoyed the stream as well. She was so happy and we are so grateful that we could make these memories with her at your beautiful property. Crystal B.

FAQ about our Homeland dog hiking trails
Are dog hiking trails safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than a city or county park. With a Sniffspot off-leash area 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.
How can I find dog hiking trails in Homeland?

How do I know if a dog hiking trail works for my dog?
Sniffspot provides the tools to find the ideal spot. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing 6 feet tall and distractions, to find a dog park with trails that works for your dog. You can also filter by size if you are looking for a certain acre park, an expansive off-leash dog park. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog hiking trails. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog hiking trails where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Since you are looking for trails, make sure to check photos to see if it the spot has flat trails or gnarly trails. You can also browse by specific amenities, if you are looking for a view or a beach, for instance, or other activities or fun features. You can check whether the spot has off or on street parking, the regular park hours, whether it has paved trails or a modern restroom.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog hiking trail?

Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot hiking trail at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
