55Our dogs really love this place! Getting to the spot is easy and convenient. The property is beautiful, and well-kept, with plenty of space for zoomies (for humans too- we get our steps in at this place!). There are tons of toys available to play with, a fresh supply of water, poop bags, and treaties to boot. Can't go wrong booking this space! Rizza S.

55I had never rented a spot this large for my girl and I have never seen her run faster!! Had a great time, even in the rain. The forest space gave her so much to smell and explore, and it was so peaceful to walk through the trees. I was also so thankful for the multiple spots with water, the treats and wipes left out!

55Excellent SniffSpot! We really enjoyed our visit and will be back. It's large, fully fenced and secured. The owners are super respectful and fast to respond to basic, over protective dog mom questions. We drove 2.5 hours one way to get here and are glad we did.
A couple things to note that wouldn't prevent us from coming back:
-- There's a good amount of bushes and branches laying on the ground with thorns on them. Our big guy cut his paw on them but it's not a huge deal as we carry simple first air gear with us.
-- Our dogs pooped 3x and I picked up their poop but still managed to step in poop from other dogs. I wasn't as mindful of the shoes I wore and wish I was.
-- There's some mushrooms growing. I'm not sure what kind but we often muzzled our dogs when I saw them nibbling on stuff to be safe <3 Not all mushrooms are safe for dogs, even if they're growing in the wild.Megan S.

55We loved it here. My dogs had so much fun running and exploring. My dog did find a gap in the fence, but the host responded that he will fix it promptly. As with any spot, keeping an eye on your dogs is a must. Carolynn M.

55Wonderful space and kind hosts. The spot was well equipped with toys, water bowls, and clean trails. The dogs very much enjoyed their time in this space and they are very tired. There is a covered seated area as well for inclement weather. We will definitely be returning! Holly R.
