55So much fun! There were Chuck-Its to play fetch and the pond and creek were a hit. Can’t wait for my energetic pup to have a solid snooze now. Thanks, Sylvia!
55Lots of space to run around and swim, my dog loved it and was very warn out after.
55We had such a fantastic and relaxing time at Sylvia's spot this morning. This spot has almost anything you would want - water features and streams to splash in, forest trail, open areas for fetch and even a treehouse! Very clean, private, and easy to find. Balls, poopbags and chairs for humans to sit. we can't wait to come back. Thank you so much!
55Best Sniffspot so far!!! My dogs had a wonderful time. Definitely booking again! The property was gorgeous! Lots of room to roam, swim, play ball and hike. Every dog would love this place… I guarantee it!
55Sylvia has a beautiful spot for dogs to play! Our dogs especially loved her large pond! They had an absolute blast! There is a partial barbed wire fence around the property, but the play area is behind her house and well back from the quiet road in front of the house. Sylvia is a great host. I had a few questions as a new Sniffspot user and she answered them very promptly! Thank you Sylvia!
55This sniffspot is amazing. Thanks, Sylvia! The dogs had a blast. They ran laps around the property and even went into the pond for good measure. The space is beautiful, relaxing, and has lots of spots to sit in nature. The covered shelter was great for when we got hit with the downpour. Thanks again. We'll be back.
55Sylvia's property is spectacular, a real dream. She and her sister were very accommodating. We'll definitely be back!
