We also did the add on fruit picking, lots and lots of huckleberries and apples in season, bags for picking provided. Great spot!!Keri P.

55We absolutely loved this place. I have a dutchie/malinois mix and a GSP(and additionally a mini labradoodle. 🙃) Those dogs need to run and this place was perfect. So much space, a big open area in the center with tall grass that the boys loved. Krystelle B.

55This was our 2nd visit and my 2yo GSP had a blast! Plenty of space to run around, play ball, and sniff. Instructions and access were clear and easy to follow and owner's are informative and quickly available via message. We'll be back!Kara M.

55Great spot! They even had a couple of balls and a chuck-it stick to throw the ball around. Entering the area was simple, the area was clean and I wasn't worried about my pup getting into anything he shouldn't. It's on a hill so if you're not a fan of uneven surfaces you might want to avoid this spot, otherwise great place and a great experience!Harsh K.

55We had a wonderful first visit here! Access is very easy, and the information in the listing about access and fencing was useful and accurate. It is a large yard, meadow, sloping down from the top of the lot, which was great for tiring out my young dog by throwing the ball downhill. The grass was recently mown. It was a cool overcast day, so the grass was a touch damp but the footing was great and the soil was dry. At one side of the property, I saw a pony or mini horse grazing across the fence and a road, but it wasn't close, and my dogs didn't notice it. There are some gopher holes, as notes, but they've done a great job keeping them flattened out. We will definitely be back!David L.

55Wonderful big sandy paddock for the pups to run in. Very well-maintained with shady chairs to sit in, a pup pool, huge variety of toys, and even treats. Definitely would recommend!Olivia W.

55Had a blast on our morning visit! Fencing was secure for my big LGD mix, and plenty of signage to let you know where to go.
The amenities (towels, treats, water) were a lifesaver especially for folks who want to do a quick visit or are coming further away. Plenty of space to run in the sand and appreciate that there weren’t any foxtails to worry about!
Sawyer loved the options of toys for us to play with!
Genevieve was such an amazing host and super responsive. We can’t wait to come back! Jeremy Y.

55This little park is amazing =] the owners put a lot of thought of not only the dog but the humans as well! They have a shaded area for the humans to sit and relax. We loved the little details such as doggie treats for the pups! Soo nice! Oh and the farm animals were cool too! Julissa V.

55Amazing, this time we got to hang out with the camels! Sorry Charlie got a little feisty and low with them, she will need a little more training (some reason horses don’t get her barking but these smooth friendly guys did! Lol)
Marley had the time of his life, too, and both pups after just 30 minutes are now splootted napping likely dreaming of their new friends.
The toys treats and clean grounds are SO appreciated! We drive about an hour each way (we love the drive) and will continue to do so! It’s such a great weekend adventure!
Marleys not usually an escape artist- but seems both were in rare form and he did desperately try to join the camels ha! Nothing a small bucket moved into the way of the dip in the fence couldn’t solve. Samantha S.

55This SniffSpot is THE BEST. Rio loved running on the soft sand, there were lots of great toys and amenities at this spot. Also, great socialization with other animals. Rio loved saying hi to the camels and horses. The host was welcoming and so friendly. Angela W.

55Area was clean. A good size paddock for my dog to run and fetch her ball. It is a little dusty. There is also a nice area that has fake grass, covered area to sit, and treats both the food kind and toys for your dogs to eat and play with. Small swimming pool for those pups who like to get wet. Genevieve was very friendly.
Another plus: being able to feed the camels, Phyllis, Milo, and Dubs.
Our dog loved the Sniffspot. Will be back. kristina K.

55Kara’s property is amazing! Kind of a choose your own adventure place. We opted for a hike up the hillside and it was definitely a workout but it was worth it, Scotti had the time of her life sniffing everything and it was a great place to work on her off leash training! We will be back, probably for 2 hours instead of just 1.Katie V.

55This Sniffspot is perfect! The loop that goes up the hill and back around to the driveway took us about 35 minutes. There is a lot of room to explore! Be prepared that going up the hill is quite strenuous and wear good shoes as there are some holes on the path. Our dogs had a blast running around. We will definitely be back!!Fiona T.

Karalee is very kind and helpful in explaining the property and so welcoming. You must check out this spot! I forgot my phone in the car so I don’t have pictures but will make sure to get some for next time. Rosie C.

FAQ about our Inverness dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Inverness area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 81 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 18 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
