55Absolutely loved our visit to Melody's Sniffspot! My pup, Ollie, had an incredible time exploring the large, shaded area with its wonderful hike/forest vibe. Melody met us at the gate and explained the property boundaries, ensuring we felt comfortable and safe. She even left a water bowl outside in case Ollie needed it, which was very thoughtful. Ollie had so many zoomies that I lost track of them. The space was perfect for her to run, sniff, and play to her heart's content. It was also an ideal place to practice recall and training with so many pleasant smells around. We will definitely visit often and highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a great outdoor adventure for their furry friend!
55Super easy and kind check in  ​We had a great visit. I've never done sniffspot before and this far exceeds my expectations. The place was clean and felt very safe. Water provided. The dogs and I had a great walk around the property. It was definitely big enough to let the dogs run about and sniff all kinds of fun stuff. Nice views for me and I’m assuming interesting smells for the dogs. Thanks again  
55Absolutely gorgeous property. Pup enjoyed nose work & super bonding with his human. We will return!
55Beautiful pond and woody areas.
55Another wonderful adventure for our pup.
55Gorgeous property. It was so fun and exciting for for my pup to tromp around and play. She was in heaven and no other people, doggies or cares in the world for us. Melody is also a wonderfully attentive and caring host.
55Host was super patient - we got lost and were 30 min late but they were very responsive the entire time and met us at the gate when we found it. Fyi Google Maps will direct you to stop in the middle of Heckler Pass Rd. Instead, turn into Bella Vista Ln about 0.5mi north of where Maps sends you
35This place was nice just probably better for bigger dogs. Woodsy and the weeds bothered my dogs tummy but she’s very low to the ground. The lady who owns the property was very nice!
55Lots of room to run around
55Melody is great! Her property is beautiful and there were lots of fun areas for our Ollie to explore. It’s not fully fenced but still plenty of space to run around and play. We’ll be back often.

Private 2 Acre Forest Swimming Hole In Rural Woodside (Update: 7 stairs added)

This is a private, undeveloped, forested spot. If you are interested in this spot, you and your dog should be up for a mini adventure. This spot is not a manicured, backyard park. It is wild and beautiful, and a rare find in this area. THERE IS NO TRASH SERVICE AT THIS FOREST LOCATION. PACK EVERYTHING OUT WITH YOU, INCLUDING DOG POOP BAGGIES. The trail starts at the west (downhill) end of the parking spot, and winds downhill to the creek (there are a couple of switchbacks). The trail from the parking area to the creek is less than 5 minutes long. At the bottom of the trail, is a deck. Beyond the deck is a year-round creek with a swimming hole. There are fish, frogs, newts, and crawdads. All wildlife is protected, so please don't catch or remove them. You may walk up and down along the creek exploring, as long as you turn around if you see a waterfall downstream or a house in the distance. The trail that leads downhill to the creek is intermediate, not for beginners or flip-flops. There should be no poison oak or ticks on the trail, but if you venture off the trail, you may encounter poison oak or ticks. There are blackberry bushes to the sides of the trail that resemble poison oak. There should be no foxtails. You may see wild animals. As a wild spot, you may encounter typical hazards that are present in most local forest trails, such as wildlife, water, and trip-and-fall hazards. This is a private spot, and there should be no other people or dogs during your booking. If you see someone during your booking, please let us know as soon as possible, so that we can take steps to prevent them from trespassing again. There is no lighting at this spot, so if you book before sunrise or after sunset, please bring a headlamp or flashlight. There is no trash collection service at this location, so please pack out any trash. Thank you!
