Another happy dog checking out a snifspot for the first time! So lucky to be near this one absolutely worth the drive

We loved the property! We normally do long leash walks and this fenced in trail area was awesome to test out how our dog handled off leash walks and he did great after about 20 minutes of being on leash. There were toys, poop bags, areas to sit if you need to, and marked trails either information as well. We will definitely be back.

Lovely spot with a variety of well marked trails. The benches on trails were appreciated by the humans. Host was friendly with clear communication as to parking. My senior dog stayed on leash and from her smile and nose to the ground had an enjoyable excursion. We would return.

As always a wonderful visit. This continues to be Bella’s favorite “Sniffspot” and it’s a joy to see her soaking it in!! Thanks Jacquai!! We appreciate the use of your wonderful spot!!! If it was closer we’d come so much more. lol. Thanks again!!

The instructions Jacqui sent me were very useful to learn what we need to be aware of. The place is in excellent condition, there are signs to help you get oriented, and we had a blast!! Wonderful place, 100% recommend

As mentioned previously, Bella’s FAVORITE Sniffspot. She absolutely LOVES this massive 5 Acre fenced wooded area as much as I do. It gives her a chance to “explore” in an area that is “wooded” and not just one open area with no obstructions (I.e. trails, woods, etc). This is the number one reason Bella and I continue to visit this wonderful Sniffspot and will continue to do so. Although we don’t get to enjoy this spot as much (due to distance), it will remain our first choice!! Kudos to Jacqui and family for sharing their wonderful FENCED wooded acreage property to us that can’t take our “pups” to a “regular “ dog park. We appreciate you so much!! Again, Thank you! We love every minute we’re there. And of course we love JoJo and always say hello. 😊

This spot was fantastic! Our dogs love exploring new places, but it is not always ideal for us to take them to dog parks or other public trails, with one of them being reactive toward other dogs and the other terrified of new people. It was great knowing that we had the entire place to ourselves. The area was fully fenced so we were able to let our dog with good recall off leash. There was cold water and bowls available near the entrance, which was nice to have for our dogs after exploring. We will be back!

Our dog Kenji had a great time exploring. You can truly tell the owner of this place has really put their heart and soul into making this a great place for dogs/humans to explore. They are very responsive and sooooo sweet and caring !!

Beautiful property. We enjoyed using both the fenced trails and unfenced trails. Clear signage of where to park and where the trails begin. Cute signs labeling trails throughout the spot This was our second visit and we will return again. Appreciate the poop bags at the start of the trails.

My dogs and I thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Lazy Bones Acres!!! The trails were great and not as many burrs were picked up by their coats as I had thought lol. We hope to be back soon! Thank you for sharing this wonderful property with our dogs!

Lots of trails crossing around the fenced property. My dog had so much fun running through all of them, periodically coming back to check on us slow humans LOL! He didn’t know what to make of the donkey! The instructions were very clear and helpful. Thanks for a great spot!

Thank you Jacqui!! I take my dogs out for beach, park, forest trips 3x a week every week. I don’t expect much but to allow my dogs to live their best lives. This exceeded my expectations. My two Shiba Inus had a blast! Their favorite was your adorable donkey. We will be back.

Our dog loved it! The trails are in great shape. Plus the hosts are super nice and make sure you have a great experience. Definitely recommend checking it out! First time coming and already wanna make plans to come back again. Thank you for having us!

Amazing spot! Most sniff spots I've been to are just open fields or yards, so having trails to walk around was a really great addition. I wasn't sure how my dog would react to the animals so I just kept her on leash whenever we could see them and she got to run around off leash on the trails farther away. We will definitely be back!!
