55This was our first time using SniffSpot and it exceeded all expectations! The property was perfect for our 5 month old puppy to practice recall, get some noise desensitizing in (just one area near the road), & grow her confidence in water! The creek runs through the property in multiple areas and she had an absolute blast hopping over it, then straight through it. Lots of thoughtful accents, too (bags, toys, fresh water, signs, etc). We will definitely be back!Kayleigh D.

55This is truly a great find for somewhere close in. I liked that it has a nice combination of a big, open area to throw balls and play, and also a few trails that can be followed down along a creek. A nice touch of nature, and my dogs loved exploring the paths. Roshan communicated very well and I appreciated the great directions on where to park and how to enter. At first it seemed confusing, but Roshan kindly sent out a message beforehand explaining. Once there, it was very easy to park and get through the gate. I appreciated that he provides toys, and even towels to wipe dog's paws. We'll certainly go again. Marie T.

55Fantastic place to practice recall. You can’t get lost in the small trails that all loop back together. Great for the dog’s instinctual curiosity to roam, and fully-fenced for my anxiety! Thank you for letting us come pick some berries (treats), and trail train with our new rescue. We will definitely be back! Nicola C.

55Delightfully enchanted space! My pup had a great time following the trails and splashing through the creek. I got a friendly reminder about how to access the space beforehand and found it very well marked on arrival. Caroline E.

55My dogs had so much fun! This is a great little area with a couple small trails that bring you along small streams and by blackberry bushes. The owners have a shed with cornhole and anything else you’ll need for the stay, including chairs and water for your pets. Looking forward to coming back - my dogs had so much fun exploring.Maria B.

55Such a fun spot! My dogs had a blast. One of our favorite spots in the area. To walk around the trails does take a bit of agility. Good shoes were useful.Quinn L.

55My dogs and I had a great time at this park. I had been interested in it because it has a creek running through it, and is completely fenced. My dogs both dock dive but have never been exposed to wild water, they loved it. it did take them a while to realize that you can stand in the " long thin water dish". There were plenty of trails to walk, on both sides of the creek. There is no bridge accost the water, but nonathletic me was able to find a spot to jump across. The only problem is one outside of the control of the property owner, and that is that the property is on a somewhat busy four lane road. You park just off of the road, I was concerned with how easy it would be to back out. As it was I was there on a Friday afternoon, and even though I am one of those people who will not back out if I can see a car coming toward me, I didn't have any problems backing out. All and all it was a very good time.DeAnna D.

55This was our first time at a Sniff Spot and we loved it! Our dogs had a great time exploring the different areas — wooded, trails, open spaces, creek crossings. Resting in the chairs and taking in the view after was also nice. Clean, safe and inviting. We’ll be back!Karen J.

55Beautiful property, secure fence, and a lot of toys for pups to play with. We didn’t let our little Jack Russell of the leash because there are a lot of berry bushes on the property and he has bad ears when his prey drive has been activated. However, I would visit this property again! Ashley B.

55This was our first time and we loved it. I would recommend giving yourself some extra minutes when going there your first time as the entrance is on a sort of busy road. It is well labeled and definitely worth it! The area is well sealed off with fencing so no worries about dogs getting out if they’re on the other side of the land. It’s fully blackberry bushes and well maintained. The creek runs through the middle and you’ll need to be able to do a little leap across or stretch your legs to cross. The dogs loved it! They could cool off in the water then continue running through the paths. Smaller dogs may need more supervision for creek depth and maybe getting lost in the bushes. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to my friends and family! Cassie K.

55Nice spot for some sniffing! Our Dusty loved it and was exhausted afterwards. Though we didn’t explore the whole area due to snakes. It was pleasant and Dusty had a good time. Roree O.

55What an amazing and fun space! It is dog heaven! The boys loved romping through the creek and running up and down the many trails. Everything you could need was thoughtfully provided. Even a bandaid when the toddler got in a battle over whose stick that was. 😝 we will definitely be making this a regular visit. Thanks! Kimberly D.

55Such an awesome spot. Was our dogs’ clear favorite the second we opened the gate. Such an enjoyable place for so many reasons. It’s like being able to hike through trails in your own private fenced in controlled environment. Lots of great features and certainly very well thought out with lots of supplies and everything you’d need from the host. The host pays great attention to detail. The fencing was very well maintained and you can tell they routinely check and make sure that everything remains fully enclosed. They’ve been very thorough and done a great job to share such a nice piece of nature inside city limits with the rest of us. Thank you again and we’ll be back very soon!!!!Mike C.

55Versatile space for mini hikes around the property and space to throw a stick or ball around. My 2 goofballs thoroughly enjoyed it considering the long nap they had when we got home :) Jen T.
