55Another great visit to this Sniffspot! Ollie played in the muddy spots and practiced some recall today. My husband and I especially appreciated the homemade Christmas cookies for the humans this visit. Looking forward to the next visit! Sandy T.
55This spot is absolutely beautiful! So much room to roam! My dog , Dakoda, had the best day ever , playing in the creek and running through the leaves and woods. The picnic table and chairs throughout the property are a nice touch. Host also had a map of the property showing the trails. And snacks and water for my pup. This is a perfect spot for exercise and exploring for both you and your pup! Lynn A.
55We always have so much fun here! This was our first time down to the stream, it was such a beautiful fall day!

55We had another perfect visit to this sniff spot! I could not be happier to have had such a gorgeous late October day! There were a few new trails cut into the field since I was here last and i'm excited to check them out next time!
There was a MASSIVE flock of birds in the trees behind the fields that were so loud, it was pretty cool to experience that. Thousands and thousands of birds in the trees for like 100yds+. tena p.
55Excellent as always. We absolutely love coming here and getting some fresh air! Natalie M.
55Our favorite place - especially in Fall!Kiley D.
55Always such an incredible joy to visit this property!! Trails are so easy to walk on, the property is gorgeous, and the snacks and water (human and dog) are so very thoughtful. Ellen B.
55We'll be back! Even with a two hour booking, we didn't have enough time to explore all the great trails here. We tried a little bit of everything: dipped our paws in the creek, frolicked in the meadow, stalked some deer in the woods. The pups were very happy! There were a lot of busy bees in the field, which was great to see (lots of wildflowers despite our brutal summer this year!). The trail was very clean - we did see some scat that looked like it belonged to a fox! We didn't see any farm animals on our visit but did try to keep our distance from the area around the house. A few notes for other visitors: There is a helpful map provided but we still managed to get a little lost since not all the trails are super clearly marked - we wandered back into our main course before too long, and it was my own fault for not paying closer attention to which turns we took, but something to be aware of. I was a little nervous driving a Prius on the gravel road leading to the parking, but we made it without issue (might have to avoid this spot in trickier weather conditions though, at least in this car). No dog/people anywhere to be seen or heard, however we could occasionally hear a louder truck engine in the distance; we also heard what I think may have been a single gunshot at some point that the dogs noticed far off (or maybe an early firework for the holiday?). My dogs are both very sound sensitive, and yet recovered quickly from these rare interruptions to what was otherwise a serene walk! I had one dog on a long line, which was a bit tricky down by the stream area / pink trail but on the whole easy to manage, the trails are generally well cleared. There is no trashcan so just remember to plan to pack out any baggies. Talia P.
55Magical property. Knowing our dogs were safe and secure made it all the better. Trails are well maintained and marked. This area provides a great sanctuary for you and your canine companions.Sarah B.
55Great site for our first SniffSpot outing! Margaret's space is clearly marked and has plenty to offer: from a creekside trail to open fields cut with walking paths and plenty of seating along to way to rest and/ or take in the views, to wooded trails there was so much to explore! We inadvertently failed to read the instructions (new to the app!) and ended up at Margaret's property. She was only gracious and helpful, despite us rocking up to her personal homestead. 🤦♀️ When we reached the right spot - which was VERY clearly marked, we just hadn't read the instructions - we were greeted by a picnic table with a cooler with cold water and snacks for dogs AND humans! Also provided: bug spray and a giant bowl of fresh water for our pup. Slid into the front pocket of the cooler was a map, which we decided to leave behind and just explore. We love the ease of the app, and we'll definitely be back to explore more!Kristin T.
