55Barb is a friendly and gracious host who explains the layout of the property well. There is an interesting mix of field and forest with a clearly marked trail through the woods. This is a great spot for dogs who enjoy a diversity of terrain and who have decent recall skills. Because this great spot is 20 acres, it's big enough that if your dog likes to explore far afield and doesn't have solid recall, you could lose sight of them for a bit. Just be aware of this and be prepared to get a little extra exercise if you need to track them down :)Lucy M.

55Grace’s place is paradise for our pups — they start wiggling their tails off as soon as we pull into her driveway! So much variety for romping and sniffing—they explored every single acre of terrain today and then were too tired to jump back into the car at the end :) Grace as always is such a wonderful, thoughtful host — we cant wait to come back.

55Amazing. We were first greeted and given directions to the back by Grace. Grace is such a lovely person, her care and hospitality make this visit even better. Our reactive pup loved the forest walk/hike, and of course- the river🥰! We visited on a rainy day so I recommend wearing boots and bringing a towel to dry off your pup. We will be back FOR SURE ❤️.

55Great spot to bring your dogs! Easy to get to, many little trails to explore, and my dogs ran non-stop for the full hour. So nice to have a place to let your dogs off leash and not have to worry about running into anybody. We will be back again!Erika P.

55Wow. What a magical experience. We will absolutely be coming back again and again! The property is huge and my puppy and I loved getting to explore it! The creek is beautiful, and it was fun for my puppy to see the goats and horse inside their pen. The property has tons of quiet spots to sit and relax, including chairs, benches, and a peaceful meadow. It was a perfect environment to practice trail walking in the woods. We were greeted warmly, provided with water, poop bags, hand sanitizer, and given chocolate & a dog treat on our way out! We can’t thank you enough for this incredible spot!Katherine W.

55Amazing! This is such a beautiful sniffspot! Grace goes above and beyond to make her guests feel welcome. We were greeted with a warm welcome, a quick tour, and a very sweet welcome sign on the gate that had our names on it. The dog amenities were great—water, toys, bags, and even treats for humans and dogs! The property is gorgeous. Lots of benches to sit and relax, good trail loops, and an awesome fire pit area with a picnic table. Moose LOVED this spot and the hosts really thought of every detail to make our visit special. Thank you!Ryan C.
