55We had so much fun here! It's on a quiet street and easy to find. The hosts were wonderful and really made us feel welcome. (Even when my dog was being a leash-reactive jerk.)
The property is beautiful, with some trees for cover and a huge open expanse for running. My dog had an absolute blast sprinting around until she got tired, then sniffing and exploring every fascinating stick and blade of grass she found. I loved seeing her so happy!
HIGHLY recommended! Lisa W.

55Beautiful spot with good fencing. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful in helping get to know the space. My dog got to see horses and sniff them although there is a fence separating them. Also he got to wade in a pond.
We really enjoyed running through the field! Suzanne M.

55Rick was great, showed us around and was happy to see our three pups take off with zoomies! Plenty of room to let the pups run and a wood pile to work on a little confidence building. Our little 10 yo schnauzer mix is quite the mountain goat! Turns out our pibble likes to roll in horse poop but the horses were super chill in a separate area and when Archie barked at them they rolled their eyes at him and walked away. Will def be back!Ildiko C.

55This is a beautiful, completely contained space for doggy fun! Lynn met us at the gate to familiarize us with the space and was very friendly and welcoming. They have thought of everything ... waste containers, cleansing wipes, fresh water, and even a place to hose off a dirty dog. Lynn evne offered to help me dry my pup off.Pamela H.

55We had a great time meeting Rick and family. The property is beautiful with a spring that adds a
couple inches of water in some spots so have your waterproof shoes. Our dog didn't mind the water. Our dog also played with
Bella who is a a great dog. We hope to come again.

55First visit was great, the hosts are lovely and when my dogs got too hot from racing around they sat and chatted with me for a bit. Very neighborly and it was nice. There’s a nice wood pile in the field that I used for a little confidence building with my dogs, getting them to jump up and climb around. Plenty of space for ball and frisbee throwing!!Christina C.

55My dog loved all there was to explore! He was able to sniff to his hearts content and play with the various balls throughout the property. Tons of room to run around. It was very easy to find and the family was so kind/helpful. Peaceful neighborhood too. Would definitely go back! Valerie G.

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. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines.
