5 acres to run and play! We went right after it snowed so the pups tootsies got cold but this was still a lot of fun for all of us.

Had a great time there. Doggies were super exhausted afterwards. Would have been nice to know where the boundaries were so that we could explore a bit more. There were quite a bit of bushes with torns so just a bit of warning when going. Other than that my doggies had tons of fun running around.

Great space to roam with two big dogs. Able to do lots of running and good trails to keep you on track and to know where to go.

We had tons of fun exploring both on the trails and off the trails. Lots of room for dogs to run and plenty to sniff!

We loved the space! Fogs had a ton of fun playing hide and seek. The only thing we struggled with we making sure we were at the right place since there were no piof the building, otherwise we had a lot of fun

55My dog, Henry, and I recently had the pleasure of visiting this incredible at-home dog park and it was an absolute joy from start to finish. Before even stepping foot on the property, I received a warm and informative message from the host, outlining everything I needed to know for a seamless visit. Upon arrival, I had convenient, designated parking and clear directions on how to navigate the property. The small front yard led seamlessly to the back, where Henry’s adventure awaited! Despite the melting snow and inevitable mud, the host thoughtfully provided helpful tips and tools to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for both myself and Henry. From the provided towels and foot cleaners to the assortment of toys and water bowls, every detail had been carefully considered to enhance our visit. And the best part? The invitation to explore the surrounding woods, with clear boundaries and reassurance that assistance was always just a knock away if needed. Overall, our time at this at-home dog park was nothing short of wonderful! The host's hospitality, attention to detail, and genuine warmth made for an unforgettable experience. If you're searching for the perfect place to let your dog(s) roam free and make lasting memories, this is the place. Truly a dog's paradise!Taylor L.

Great spot! The mud catcher things for paws was such a great touch- it was so nice to clean his paws before getting in the car. We had a great time!

Very nice . Lot of snow so was not able to trail as much as we would have liked but will come again as my large pups really enjoyed it. Thank you for the experience.

Great communication with host - clear direction & details. Appreciated the available snowshoes with the current snow levels. Beautiful land - it is surrounded by trees and a good mix of sun/shade to walk through. Clean space. A hidden gem!

This spot is absolutely wonderful! It’s a spacious and varied spot, and there’s a great mix of flat prairie with tall grasses and a wooded area with a trail through it as well. There are trees marking the property line so that definitely helps with the fact that the spot is technically not fenced. My dogs absolutely loved it. Will definitely be returning!

They are new to the Sniffspot! Then so I am! My dog and I had fun walking around in the woods and listening to the sheep! Lots of area to wander! There was a bucket of water out for doggos!

A peaceful, shady and lovely large spot for dogs and humans! A wonderful place for dogs to play on even the hottest of days.

My 6 month old pup Archie LOVED zipping around this giant yard. Very safe, spacious, and serene... and Jeff is a great host. Archie played with another pup while there and when they got rambunctious, we helped shepherd them away from the pool - lest they inadvertently went in. So much fun - will go again soon!

Jill L.

A perfect spot for our girls to sniff on a hot, humid day - lots of shade and a kiddie pool for an extra cool down. Welcoming host. We even saw an owl perched on the fence. It was quiet and relaxing, exactly what we needed.

This is our 2nd visit and it's so nice to have this large mostly shaded yard to play, especially during the hot weather. Thank you for having drinking water too for us and the pup! We love it here!
