55We had another great visit, this time in the snow. The driveway and path into the yard were all clear of snow/ice and having a table under cover to put my gloves and warm coffee on while playing was really helpful. Thanks for another great visit!
55Absolutely incredible!! My dog was a street dog when he was a puppy in Rochester and he lived his best dreams running around in this yard! It was very easy to find and the yard was super accessible from the driveway! They even wrote our names on the blackboard to greet us ☺️ We will for sure be back!!
55This is a great big yard with many features to provide a “sniffari” experience for my dogs. The length of the yard allowed for long runs all within my eyesight. Parking was directly next to the yard entrance and the gate was easy to use/latch. The owner was responsive and helpful.
45This was our first Sniffspot visit in general and also specifically to this spot. It was spacious and lots of interesting things to explore and sniff. There was ample seating and a cot which my pup enjoyed. The grasses were a bit overgrown on the entry path and there were a couple instances of dog poop in the yard. The yard was very quiet - we didn’t see anyone or anything and heard some voices of kids playing in the distance. Overall a great spot for a decompression walk.
55We had a lovely time at this Sniffspot! The yard is spacious, secure and very nicely maintained. Our pups loved it!
55Amazing time, great people! Definitely will be back!
55Riley had the best time at this fantastic Sniffspot! It was so big and fully fenced with no worry about him escaping! Samantha was a great host and provided water and treats for Riley. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone!!
55We enjoyed our visit to Samantha's "dream" backyard. It was beautifully kept and very large. My dog is large and it is nice to have enough room for her to run at full speed.
55Really nice place! The kind owner prepared everything for our convenience! Delightful experience overall!
55My dog had so much fun! It was a great outdoor space with a secure fence. We will definitely go back.

This is a quiet neighborhood though you may hear children playing in the distance. While there may be a few people each day who take a walk along the street, the yard is set back and secluded so your pup can enjoy without seeing or interacting with people.

60 acres of upstate New York forest just for you!

NOTE: ON HOLD UNTIL DEC 9 ( DUE TO HUNTING SEASON) Greetings! Our land is a mix of flat grass (think lawn), some long/short pasture, and the majority being heavy wooded forest area. You will enjoy some rustic logging trails up there (but please don’t expect a perfect state park-type path). The terrain can be steep to climb to the top depending on your skill level. Once you are at the “top” of the hill, there is “flat” land that you can hike (I’ve even jogged up there - slowly!). For those of you that like a challenge, besides our two pathways up the hill, we offer a very steep side of the hill to climb. One of the photos shows water – that is the case if there is a heavy rain (likely September/October) but please know we don’t always have a running stream. We do offer a hose and bucket to rinse your dog’s feet at the end of the stay. The photos with the leaves are from last year – this is what the property looks like in autumn. November starts getting cold. December will bring snow with some plowed areas. For winter, you and your dog can frolic in the snow and we can provide you with towels, wipes, whatever you may need to "clean off" before getting back in the car. With advance notice, we can provide coffee, tea, or cocoa. For accessibility: if you use a wheelchair, you can drive your car onto the land and use the flat part of the land if you can access grassy lawn. If there is interest, I can take your friendly dog up the hill to run around for a nominal fee. We are new to this so please ask questions. Consider this spot “forever wild” woods. It is incredibly calm and peaceful up on the hill. You can quietly listen to the woods or bring a radio and sing to your dog loudly. If you are not a climber, even playing fetch behind the barn is nice. Note: inside the barn is off limits. This is a working property and there are tools, tractors, and such that are not good for any animals. Please Remember: there are no fences and we have a state highway in front of our property. All the area that you would use would be set back an appropriate distance, but I want to be clear for everyone sake that there are no fences. If your dog does not come back when called, perhaps this spot isn’t the best for any off-leash activity. Wild Animals: There are deer in the woods (and some dogs love to chase deer!) so please keep that in mind as well. We have also seen rabbits and an occasional skunk, raccoon, fox, groundhogs, and even a porcupine once. We hear coyote sometimes but I have not seen any on our land. Central New York has been known to house bobcats, mountain lions, and bears among others, but I have yet to see them on our land as well. We do see bald eagles on occasion. Lastly, your reservation is for 90 minutes to allow for time to truly enjoy nature.
