Welcome to our peaceful family farm, where dogs can fully embrace their true selves in a safe, open environment. Nestled on 10 acres of yard and woods, your dog will have ample room to run, play, and explore. For the adventurous pups, there’s a scenic hiking trail through the woods, offering over 3.4 miles of shaded paths perfect for hot days. If you’re seeking a more secluded experience, we also have a fully fenced-in 436,000 square foot pasture. With advance notice, we can clear the pasture of feathered friends, providing an uninterrupted space for your dog to roam freely. Just a short 2-minute drive from the beach, our farm is the perfect retreat for dogs and their families looking for fresh air and wide-open spaces!

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.
