55Been here 3-4 times and we/dogs love it. They run run run, investigate, burn off alot of energy. There are bushes, trees, open space, a bridge, places for people to sit. It's mowed. Super secure fencing and gate. Very peaceful. We noticed some new signage that is helpful for people knowing where to park and the trail entrance. The trail to the sniffspot is longish and very natural although maintained and pleasant. Can be a little muddy. We so appreciate this space for our dogs- thank you!
55After so much rain our Mabel had such a wonderful time, with all the space and smells, she didn’t sit down once!
55We have so much fun! The very BEST place to be with your pet!
55This is a beautiful property that is private, beautifully maintained and developed with dogs of all abilities in mind. The host/owner is exceptional in their knowledge and empathy. Perfect ‘host’ at a perfect spot for our pup!
55My dog Riku always has a great time on this property. So much space to run around and be free. I am forever grateful to Kathy and what she does with this land for the dogs!
55First, this is a beautiful property. My dogs went crazy in the car when we pulled up and it was only their second time there. Kathy is thorough with her communication, and overall the experience is extremely easy thanks to all of the details already listed. I felt confident with what I needed to do. Thanks Kathy!
55Great spot!!
55Our dog had a fabulous time. We are excited to return.
55This was a lovely space! Great directions, easy to find, and we had a great time wandering. I did not bring water, but Kathy directed us to a small stream on the way out and my dog had a good time drinking and wading. We would go back!
55“The Acres” is such an amazing place! My pups had such a wonderful time running and playing in a beautiful open area that’s fenced in! We will definitely be back soon! Can’t say enough good things!
