55This property is absolutely beautiful and wonderfully maintained. There are two large fenced in areas in the front area and a couple connected fenced in areas in the back (wooded area with a huge grassy area). It was so quiet and peaceful.
The host was really nice and offered a quick tour of the property. They also provided a dog first aid kit, snacks, toys, water, bowl and towel which I thought was really sweet.
The fencing was very secure. Initially I used a long line with my 38lb Shiba Inu (breed is notorious of being flight risks) but after a little bit I left him to drag his line around, frolicking through literal pastures. There were tons of things to sniff, fallen logs to climb and a dreamy amount of room to run.
There were no other animals on the property that we saw or heard. Though I think there will be eventually (horses, goats).
My only suggestion would be to have sniffspot signs, but since this listing is so new, they probably just haven’t received them yet.
We definitely will be back, even with it being an hr away. Julie C.

55Our dog had the absolute best time. There were multiple areas that we could explore, all safely fenced in. The hosts were great, they gave us a tour and also left a selection of toys for our dog to play with. The back area of the Sniffspot had tons of trees to wonder around, our dog truly loved every minute of being there. We will definitely be coming here often. Cassandra R.

55This spot was so much fun! The land is incredible to walk. Fully fenced. It was like we had our own private woods to walk and even a designated spot to throw balls! The host is unbelievably generous for sharing such a slice of heaven! We can't wait to go back and explore for more sniffs. Lisa L.

55As a frequent flyer of sniff spots, this is hands down one of my favorites. There is so much room to run with so many things for my dog to do. There is a wooded section so my pup could explore the woods, space for her to zoomie all over the fields, goats to watch through a fence, and different fenced in areas to explore. I am always worried about my dog escaping when I go to new spaces but this space is fully fenced and I didn’t have to worry about her getting out. The hosts were AMAZING at communicating with questions I had before booking and were very nice with a tour of the property when we got there to help us find the spaces we could roam. I 100% will be back again and am so thankful for Victoria and her family sharing such a safe and peaceful space with my dog who deserves the world.Katie S.

FAQ about our Middletown 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.
