Great communication and lovely private yard!

Wonderful yard and amazing host!! We will definitely be back!

The big yard was perfect for a nice game of fetch - plus plenty of things to sniff around and explore. There was a nice spot for me to sit and a clean water dish for my dog with a spigot to replenish. The yard was clean and it wasn’t even muddy despite having a bunch of rain that morning. We will be back for more fetch!

It was nice to finally see a new Sniffspot in Detroit so I don't have to drive as far to find a worry free place where my dog can roam and play with her toy. She was very accommodating and we had fun!

The space is beautiful. It did seem like we came at a bad time because the neighbors were doing yard work, so it was a bit noisy. Louis still enjoyed sniffing around by the water. We will definitely be back.

Sal let us bring a kiddy pool for the dog which was awesome on a super hot day :) He also allowed us to use the toys available and our dogs played together for a bit. Thanks again!

Such a great spot! My pup had so much fun running and expiring. We brought our own balls, but the host provides them as well. There was also ample shade for my gal to cool down after running. Just a heads up, I do think that a larger dog could open the gate on their own, but I just watched mine and it wasn’t an issue.

This spot is amazing! I live in an apartment so it’s hard for my dog to be able to run around and just be a dog. We just moved to the area so this spot will definitely be our new go to. It is secured and lots of shade for sunny days. He loved exploring in all of the trees.

It was the perfect spot for my puppy. He ran and sniffed until he was too tired to explore any more. Even though we brought our own toys there were balls and frisbees to use. I will definitely go back.

Lots of room for my dog to run, dig and play. This was our second visit and we had a great time.

Jeanne W.

July 2023

This is a great spot! My dogs loved playing in the big fenced in yard. There is lots of wide open space to run and also a wooded area with a trail to explore. Lots of neat spots to sniff! At a couple points we heard another dog barking but we never saw another dog. My dog’s barely noticed the barking because there was so much to explore! We will be back!

This was our first Sniffspot reservation and we were pleased! We had booked very last minute and there were no issues, our dogs loved it.

Cynthia H.

August 2023

It was EXTRA sniffy today! My boy crashed when he got home. He had so much fun chasing the balls, sniffing "bunny farts," chasing birds, looking for me... He loves this spot! clean and secure! Watch where walk in the back for a little uneven ground but its such a huge yard with such a natural setting, I love it too.

Lauren G.

August 2023

This was my first Sniffspot experience and it was perfect. My dogs were so happy! They are both about to crash hard. Mission accomplished!

Margaret B.

September 2023

My dog loved all the great sniffs. Very secure and clean. Big enough to fling tennis balls with some wooded areas for exploring. If your dog is dog reactive there could be other dogs visible but we did not see anyone. Shaded in the morning and very pleasant.

Hannah B.

We had another great time here as always. The dog next door was out this time but he was very friendly! My dog definitely enjoyed the company lol

Victoria R.

September 2023

Great location! Minimal distractions for our reactive dogs and lots of great space for them to run around. Toys available for were a great hit with the dogs and very much appreciated. The yard was well maintained.

Benjamin L.

Great-sized lot; varied areas of interest to explore and roam. Easy in, easy out. We definitely plan to frequent this spot!

Noel S.

October 2023

What a great property. Thank you for having us. Mattie and Amos ran their little hearts out. Host provided bags and disposal. The area was rather secluded with patches if trees. There was great seating and lots of toys. Nothing for them to be guarded from or avoid. The one available parking space was perfect. I have only compliments about this spot.

Autumn B.

October 2023

My dogs enjoyed this spot, with plenty of room to play and run. The wooded section provided an extra layer of fun; watch out for burrs - thankfully my puppy was wearing a jacket for the cool weather. Great spot!
