55This is an awesome spot! There is so much space to run and plenty of toys to keep your pup busy. Fresh water and bowls are provided as well as a kiddie pool for those hot days. We were there midday on a sunny day and there was plenty of shade around the perimeter to take a break from the sun, as well as picnic tables under the shade of a large tree. A cute horse trailer provides more shelter from the sun or rain and is where you will find a library of toys. There are also poop bag stations all along the perimeter in case you forgot yours. Our hour went by quickly, so will probably book for longer next time! We’ll be back!Holly L.

55First time visit for our active, but anxious dog. Our dog loved it! Plenty of room to run, lots of area to sniff. Great seating options for people. Well set up with water, clean up tools, and toys. Would highly recommend!Kara J.

55If my dog could tell me what his version of heaven would look like, I imagine it would look like this. Everything is easy to navigate due to all of the helpful signage. I didn't see any amazing cows this time, but all the more reason to become a frequent Sniff-er.Stephanie H.

55This spot was fantastic! We loved being able to drive in and close the gate behind us for easy unloading/loading of our pups. Lots of thoughtful touches in this spot: poo bags stationed at multiple spots around the fence line, toys galore, a water station and splash pool, clean rags for toweling off wet pups, and plenty of seating!
Everything is well maintained, and fully fenced. My two dogs (one is reactive) had a wonderful time sniffing, running, and rolling, and I had a wonderful time knowing my girls wouldn’t have play time cut short by surprise arrivals.Ashlyn K.

55I love the many options for seating, especially the swing! The large wind chimes are very soothing. Plenty of space for the pups to explore and play. This spot has everything! Even a bathroom. I would highly recommend it to larger parties!JACQUELINE S.

55We had so much fun at the farm today!! What a huge, lovely property perfect for throwing balls and running around! My pup was so happy there was a pool, too! I loved all the toys provided, the comfortable seating, the giant wind chimes hanging from the tree, and the artsy vibe. I must say my favorite part was the cows! Pup was SO excited to meet them and just wanted to play with them! The cows were so friendly, came right up to the fence and enjoyed some scratches. We will definitely be back!Christina J.

55We did a last minute booking and I'm glad we went. I kind of consider Neffendorf Farm my second backyard since I go fairly often and it's always a comfortable and welcoming spot. On a warm afternoon there was plenty of shade for me to stay cool and the kiddie pool was out and full of water which both my dogs took advantage of. Bandit usually only likes water to drink, but he did hang out for awhile Lila splashed around. Also, there are a few chuck its and an assortment of balls to keep my dogs running,Diane B.

55This place was exactly what we needed! The big tree provided more than enough shade for us and our baby while the dogs ran and explored. Definitely appreciated the rags to dry off our dog after a small romp in the mini pool. Elise R.
