55Drop everything and go NOW! From start to finish, our experience at David and Alma’s beautiful farm was top notch. They are wonderful folks who communicate and help every step of the way. The hike and water (get the river walk!) was gorgeous and so fun. I recently adopted a shelter dog who is generally nervous about the busy environment and often worried about new dogs. I wanted him to experience the joy of running, leaping, and simply being a dog in nature. I asked if we might have a ranch hand dog join us and I’m so glad I did. Sancho came along with us and immediately befriended my Midas. They ran and leapt and wrestled in the water together like only best friends can do. Thank you David and Alma and Sancho for giving Midas what I am certain was the best day of his life. We will be back very soon!Lou H.

55My dog had a blast! She’s a little older so the hike kicked her butt (and mine). She had so much fun wading through the creek and sniffing through the bushes and I was relaxed knowing there weren’t other people/dogs around. 10/10 would highly recommend taking your dog(s)! Andrea Q.

55We had a blast today! So nice letting our big boys run around without worrying about anything. Our car broke down before we got there and they were extremely communicative and helpful in making sure we still had a great trip. Highly recommend the stream hike, but it is a little steep and took my parents (in their 60s) about 25 min to get there and another 25 back. It’s such a beautiful oasis. Thank you guys!Shannon G.

55We loved watching our pup have the best day of his life! He loved splashing along the stream and sniffing every inch of the trails; The stream walk is a MUST. There is a swing, hammock, and chairs so you can relax and enjoy nature. The host is communicative, very kind, and even provided clear instructions to the stream so you aren’t lost and can just enjoy your time. We drove 1 hour from Downtown San Diego so our pup can experience the beautiful nature and practice being off-leash, we can’t wait to go back. Thank you! Chalina H.

55Drove an hour from San Diego to bring our dog-reactive dog here to get some fun, off-leash time. She absolutely loved it and had a blast playing in the water. Highly suggest adding the stream hike onto your time here! Definitely take caution going up & down the hills, it can be a lot if you’re not used to it (especially in the heat). All in all it was a great experience and we’ll definitely be back!Emma L.

55Really enjoyed this, my dog is reactive and I live in an apartment so this is the first time she’s really gotten to be off leash. We did the stream hike and it was great—it was hot though and there are two very steep sections. I’m pretty in shape and they were hard, but short. The host was also very understanding when our hour and a half drive from central OC turned into a two hour drive and let us stay longer. We’ll definitely be back!Margaret T.

55Was so grateful to have found this property for my highly reactive bulldogge! I don’t have many options where I can bring him and this was beyond a dream come true for us! The owners were gracious and kind, quick to respond and be of assistance. Mack loved it here and we didn’t need to worry about a thing! We had plant to room to run and shade to cool off in. The property was filled with views in every direction and it was a pleasure to have been able to come here! Definitely will be back- for sure a gem here. April D.

55Your land is simply magical. ✨
I’ve been to a few other sniff spots in San Diego, but nothing compares. I read the description and reviews, but still I was blown away by how beautiful the property is and the trails are endless. I knew as soon as we arrived an hour wouldn’t be enough and Alma accommodated to let us book more time. I’ve never been able to see Stanley run free. He chased lizards and ran up the hills through the leaves, climbed on rocks, waded in water, drank from the creek. Today is a day I will never forget. Thank you Alma and David for sharing your property with these beautiful creatures who are meant to run and play in a safe space.
Great communication! They responded immediately to all correspondence, answered my questions, and provided extra maps and guides to make it easy to navigate to and through the property. I’d been waiting for the right day to go. It was a long drive for me and I wasn’t sure about spending the time and money to travel, so I kept putting it off, but I wish I’d gone sooner!!! Julie H.

55We really enjoyed our day and our dog was WORN OUT. It was so awesome for our boy to be able to run free without me having to worry about encountering other dogs.
We did the avocado grove hike and it was a nice mix of sunny and shady, steep hills and gentle slopes. Alma gave excellent, detailed directions with photos to guide us with parking and where to meet the trail. Next time we will book the stream tour. We encountered an employee of the farm as we were leaving who highly recommended it.
It’s a beautiful property, Alma was very warm and welcoming and we will definitely be back.Laurel D.

55What a wonderful experience!! I could talk about this place all day and I still wouldn't be able to say all the wonderful things that I would like to say. Simply amazing. Safe, clean, gorgeous views, so much to explore... Alma is a wonderful host, so sweet and kind and patient. Great communication. We took the wrong turn and went in the opposite direction, (Alma's directions were clear, but we relied on Google maps and lost signal), and unfortunately would have missed our time slot by the time we made it there. She graciously offered to reschedule our time for the next day. That was so very kind of her! We loved every minute of being there. This is the kind of place you will want to bring your whole family to for a picnic, or just to explore. I strongly suggest booking more than an hour, simply because you will not want to leave! And definitely add the stream hike! It's a must do! Needless to say, we will be back. And soon 😊Adelina C.

FAQ about our Homeland dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?

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. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed.

We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
