55Great spot! There were people visible on the property, but the space is so big we were able to avoid them. Our pup was so intrigued by the ducks and chicks that he didn’t mind at all! Booked on fairly short notice and had no issues.Trevor M.

55Such a great spot! Our dogs love it here. The pond has ducks that our younger dog swims and chases. There is a fence at the end of the property with people and dogs walking, so just keep that in mind if you have reactive dogs. There were also some people that arrived towards the end of our time that seemed to be going fishing in the pond. Cris & Eik M.

55This place was great! They had towels out near the hose off station and a bucket of toys which was super thoughtful. Next time I’d bring biodegradable dog shampoo for a quick wash before leaving. We had a great time and I definitely recommend this location. Kallen S.

55It’s a really great spot! They mentioned there may be Airbnb guests in the back so I stayed away from there but a woman came out of the front house so I did end up leashing my dog. Overall a great property though! Kristen S.

55This place has a nice pond with lots of ducks. My dog went nuts and had so much fun swimming around, trying to chase the ducks. We saw 2 people while we were there but for the most part we had a lot of privacy. Cam H.

55This was a great spot for our dog! It was a nice place to walk around the pond. Our dog loved swimming in the pond. There were shady places on this hot day. There were a couple people around so if your dog has people issues, choose a different spot. It's a really big area so it was easy for us to find out own space to hang out. Pretty area with ducks!Melissa D.

There’s a lot of shade to sit and relax and it’s very peaceful. I booked another slot for next week. It’s very clean.Dawn L.

55we have had several great visits here.
For those who are concerned about the friendly, very senior dog on site, if your dog is very reactive I'm sure you could confirm with the hosts that she will be led out of the pond area for your visit. She hasn't approached us & my dog has never found her.
There is a fence at the back of the property, beyond which is public property & people occasionally walk by with their dogs. Again, if you don't want your dog to see any other dogs then maybe stay away from the rear of the pond.
This is a natural setting; if your dog is having any fun, s/he will get dirty. Michele S.

55To get there, at the end of the road, go through the gates and go left past the other houses. I got a little confused but you’ll see a sign for sniff spot after that :)hannah m.

55Took me a minute to find the correct home but once I did it was easy to let ourselves in. Had SO much fun. My dog swam for hours chasing the ducks. There were a few people around but for the most part it was only us. Victoria L.

55Super cool place! Plenty of space for our dogs to run around like crazy. Nice and private and just a few people walking by the trail behind the property. My dog couldn’t get enough of jumping into the pond and swimming from one side to the other. 10/10 Recommend if you have a dog that loves to run and swim or if you want to see if your dog likes to swim!

55Wonderful property! It was easy to find and tons of things to do. We saw a rabbit and ducks geese etc. The pond is stunning and there are hammocks and seating areas and bathrooms!!! Best one yet. Only downfall is tons of bugs so bring your bug spray but that is to be expected. Wish we would have booked longer. Met the owner and he is super nice as well. Miranda F.

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.
