55The perfect spot for my two dogs! One is fearless and needs to run full tilt and one is anxious and reactive around other dogs so this spot makes us all happy! It's especially convenient for me to be able to drive in the gate, open the door and let them run without worrying about leashes. Janice and Dennis are wonderful hosts and keep their property in great shape. There are several shady areas and I hear they will be adding a puppy pool for the warmer months. Kristi M.

55My boy Sig had a wonderful time at Gracie's! I don't have many places to let him run free so it was big fun. Dennis and Janice are just wonderful hosts. They had everything you would need in case you forgot your own. Very nice spot. Looking forward to coming back.Leslee G.

55Hosts were very friendly and accessing the SniffSpot was easy!
Dogs under 15 pounds MAY be able to squeeze under the front gate if they were determined to, treats and recall recommended for little dogs in the big yard. There is a smaller and more secure fenced area by the house though as well!
They had a big supply of treats and toys, water available, poop waste bin, and a covered porch area for people to sit and relax while the dogs play.
Yard was impeccably clean and lawn was very well manicured, with pretty flowering bulbs and trees.Trystin G.

55My Lexie had a wonderful time. The many trees surrounded the exploring area kept her entertained. She loved it. We were met by our host, Janet, who was very nice and welcoming. Lexie has slept well since she got home. I’m excited about taking her back to run, play, and explore. Donna M.

55The host, Janice, met me when I arrived and showed me where the water, treats and toys were located. She is very pleasant. The property is nice and it was great to just let the dogs off leash to explore and go where they wanted to. With five acres of fenced area, the dogs got plenty of exercise. We will be going back.

55Had a great time, dogs are tired and the location is stunning! Will definitely come back again with my crew and appreciate all of the attention/care of the location. Arrived and messaged Janice and the gate was then opened. Drove in and parked in the driveaway with immediate and easy access to the gate for entry. The space has lots of shade for your dogs to cool down and there is access to water! There were treats and toys and you can tell dogs are well loved in this home! Loved every second and love that my dogs curled up and were asleep early on in the drive back home. Thanks for such a lovely time. Dana E.

55We had such a wonderful time. With the peace of mind knowing they were safe and able to run and explore to their hearts content with out worrying about other dogs or them getting loose. We can’t wait to come back. The hosts were wonderful and even played fetch with my shepherd. Would definitely recommend, they provided water and snacks that my dogs loved.Mylo A.

Lots of toys and plenty of space to play with them, we’d recommend this spot to everyone!! They brought out fresh water for them, and played with them while we were talking, great experience!Mike V.

55This is a very spacious piece of well maintained, clean, manicured property run by two very nice people. I was a little uncertain about the whole Sniff Spot idea before going to this spot - after having been there today (2/7/25) I will definitely WITUUT QUESTION bring my dogs back there for other enjoyable outings.
And I say this despite the fact that I live 50 minutes away from this address. This is a great "Sniffspot."Ann R.

55we were pleasantly surprised as the spot was better than expected. A 5 acre park-like setting fully fenced for our very energetic hound/lab mix pup. Not only scenic but we were comfortable with the security and not to mention the high-end treats, toys and friendly owners. We plan to make this a routine visit! Never saw our pup so happy!!!!Debra R.

FAQ About New Bern 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.

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.
