55Amazing place! My dogs had a great time. The property is beautiful and feels very comfortable. This is a definite 5 star worthy place to go. The spring feed pond was just right not too hot or too cold. Plenty of areas to get into the water, as well as two different naturally shallow area for dogs that are first time in the water. Lots of shade, chairs to sit in. More property than you can explore in an hour. The host is extremely courteous and friendly. She gave us a history tour of the grounds. Absolutely worth exploring more next time. Pictures just cannot do the justice of how extraordinary this property is. We felt welcomed and excited to see the areas that our dogs were exploring, well until our German shepherd decided to just jump right into the pond. He’s never been swimming before but guess he’s a water dog now. Even our lab mix gathered up the courage to finally get into the water with us. We cannot wait to go back. Again, many thanks to Licia for being so warm and friendly, opening up her property for others to enjoy. Susan S.

55This Sniffspot is so beautiful and peaceful. It has plenty of space to get your dog a good workout and a nice creek to cool off in. Wear bug spray!!!!!Kelsey S.

55Everything a dog could desire! My dogs absolutely loved it- they went for a swim in the spring, waded in the creek, played Frisbee on the large lawn, explored a bit of the trails and walked half of the mowed path around the meadow before we ran out of time. I booked 1.5 hours and next time I will book 2. A lot of the property is contained by water and treeline, but there are a few little spots on the property where you will either want your dogs to have a decent recall or use a long line. Licia was a great host, showing us the best pathways and then leaving us to enjoy the space. We will definitely be back! Holly A.

55Beautiful space, we had an amazing time, our 11 yr old enjoyed splashing with the pups, and our dogs haven’t been this tuckered out in a long time. We did have a couple ticks- but thats TN is in the summer, has nothing to do with the host- just be sure to do your tick checks when you get home. martina s.

55It was a clean and beautiful place. I took my Boykin Spaniel, Twig and he had a blast jumping off the dock and swimming. He played in the creek, too. No complaints here! Next time, I’ll bring 2 dogs. Thank you so much for being willing to share your beautiful property with us!Ashley C.

55We had a ball! The spring was perfect for the pups.. the one who loves the water and the one who just like to dip their toes. It’s the cutest spot & we’ll for sure be back! Thanks for being such a great host :)Lauren B.

55We had a great time. Dogs do need a little bit of recall to enjoy certain parts, like the field. It borders the fence line of a few houses. Avoiding the field my reactive dog did great here! We can't wait to come again! Alysoune C.

55I’d recommend booking two hours, there’s plenty to sniff and explore!
We had such a good time here! The sniffspot was easy to find and a map was provided to find the water and some trails. My pup got to run around and swim to his hearts content. The property is large and lined with some homes, so be aware if you’re pup is shaky on recall (we ended up in a yard at one point, oops!)Karisse O.

55Licia and her family were incredibly friendly, welcoming and hospitable!
She was a pleasure to deal with throughout the whole reservation process and very communicative.
The property is unique. 1 of 1 for sure in Smyrna!!!
Trails to explore.
Fields to sprint through.
Spring water to swim in.
It's a dog's paradise.
We wmentioned that we would try and make it back before the weather warms up and it gets too buggy and Licia mentioned that over 3 acres around the buildings and near the spring are all sprayed for bugs so no need to sit out the summer!
Really nice day at a great property full of history and things to explore!
Highly recommend! Jonathan H.

55This was our first time using a sniff spot and this place was AWESOME! By far one of the coolest properties I’ve seen in Tennessee. There were lots of sniffs, a nice mix of open fields and shady tree areas. I’d highly recommend & I’m sure we will be back. Jessica A.

FAQ about our Smithville dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 99% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Smithville area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 89 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 18 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
