55Unique spot with lots of good sniffs! My pups had a great time and didn’t want to leave :) I appreciated being able to pull my car in and close the gate behind us. Isabelle B.

55We had a great time sniffing and exploring the space and obstacles within it. Not our first time here and won’t be our last! Trish was also thoughtful enough to reach out to offer to change our reservation time to try to avoid expected rain. So appreciated!Stephanie F.

55My dog loved it soooo much! Great toys, water trough was a thrill. Beautiful views tucked in the woods and wonderful seats for humans to enjoy too. Sarah W.

55This was a great location! We had no issues with space for parking (we had four cars!) though the spot only has one designated guest parking spot (and one owner parking) so I would recommend carpooling OR communicating with the owner ahead of time out of respect. But like I said, no issues with space - we just lined up in the driveway near the entrance gate :) But it was a great spot with a great view!Noah Y.

55It's a great place for dogs and people. Ours had a blast running up and down the hills. We felt safe and secure, and the dogs getting to watch the chickens from afar was a bonus. Kate J.

55Trish's Pibble Hill is a well-thought out half acre. You can drive your car in and lock the gate behind you for easy unloading and loading. The area closest to the gate is flat and offers chairs, a fire pit, and a drinking trough as well as lots of toys. Poop bags are provided at the gate entrance. There is a hill to a higher flat area where there are other places to sit and a doggy playground. The area is quiet. Good for us with sensitive doggies. Trish has a small farm with horses and goats and chickens on her adjacent property and that is lovely to look at. All in all a great place to spend an hour!Lynn H.

55Pibble hill is absolutely perfect! Lots of room for the pups to run and play, tons of toys to choose from, agility equipment to try out, and fresh water to drink and splash around in! Another added bonus is you can drive into the spot and close the gate before the pups get out which gives you an additional safety net! The fencing is tall enough so the larger pups can't jump out while also containing the smaller pups. We also loved that there was ample seating for the people! The directions are easy to follow and the property is very clean and well maintained.Emily B.

55Great Sniff Spot! Easy to find with GPS. The fencing was secure and the area was clean. Plenty of open space for my crazy Boxer to run, play fetch, and there were areas of interest for him to explore. I appreciated there were poop bags, toys, and a trash can available. Big bonus that you can drive your car into the spot. You can see the farm animals on the other side of the property but they were far enough away my dog didn't bother. I will definitely be using this spot again. Monica X.

FAQ About Mars Hill Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot 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. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Mars Hill area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 95 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 215 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
