55This was a great place for my boys to run!
The landscape was well maintained and offered a lot!
My boys weren’t used to running around anything with hills as we live near the coast.
They were extra 😴 which allowed for a smooth Christmas Eve night.
I, also traveling alone, felt extremely safe with the camera at entry, lock code, and fence! Angena L.

55As always, Captains Retreat at Bear Creek doesn't disappoint!! The new space provides some visual privacy & barrier. Benny and I always love this spot! I was thankful for the cooler of water this trip. It's 45 minutes away from home & I forgot a drink for myself. We just love this place, can't say enough good things about it!Danielle S.

55We had an awesome experience today!
It was such a treat for the pup to be off leash with so much room to run and explore!
The host gave really clear instructions to the property, and communicated with us the recent rain caused a little flooding. There were a lot of nice accommodations (dog toys, treats, insect repellant, etc) and places to sit throughout (the hammocks were wonderful!).
The fencing is entirely secure and the layout is really nice. Trails through the wooded area made us feel immersed in nature and the big open field was perfect for fetch. My pup enjoyed trotting through the puddles and smelling all the smells.
For a dog-reactive dog, this place is truly a gift. We will certainly be back again!Amanda V.

55I loved this SniffSpot, and so did my doggos! I loved how secure it was, from pulling into the fully secured parking area to walking the entire fence line, everything was nicely buttoned up. We reported to the owner that we found some broken glass along the property and was informed that the property used to be the location of a house and whoever was there before would bury/burn trash and rain will unearth what is buried. No worries there in my opinion if they're diligent about cleaning up what gets uncovered. The whole place was perfect and definitely worth the 30 minute drive for us.Faith S.

55Benny & I love this spot!! And Tiffany is a great communicator of the mud and water retention from all the recent rain. The spot is still perfectly contained & my pup enjoyed the puddles. We will be back as usual, it's our favorite place!Danielle S.

55Another wonderful time! The new fencing and space is awesome and my dogs discovered it and sprinted there before me. It was one of my dogs 3rd bday and the best way to celebrate at their favorite sniff spot! We’ve visited here about 3/4 times and each time it’s immaculate, beautiful and we discover something new. We drive almost an hour each way and it’s worth it! Thank you for sharing this space with us and making my boys so happy! Ellen B.

55Great spot for dogs to stretch those legs. Particularly good if you have a sporty runner, like pointer or sight hound. It could also make a nice spot for scent work practice. The grill and doggie washing station are a nice touch for better weather. Diana D.

55Only thing missing is a port-a-John! There is a gas station about 3/4 mile down the road of the need arose. Other than that, this location has it all. Well planned and implemented piece of property for your animals. So much fun. Our dogs were a filthy muddy mess but no worries as they have a nice doggy bath with all supplies ready to clean your babies. Glen T.

55This spot was the perfect mid-way spot between Raleigh and Asheville. Owner was incredibly welcoming and communicative. Very impressed! The spot was incredibly secure, very clean and provided some great toys. Our 1 year old pup loved exploring the dry creek bed and the stick library was a huge hit. This sniff spot has woods and field options- the best of both worlds. It is also extremely clean and has all sorts of extras (shade, tables, grill, etc.) We will definitely be coming back!Stacy B.

55My dog Ozzy and I had a blast running around and playing here. The fence was nice and secure so I didn’t have to worry about my boy getting out. We definitely got a little muddy so the outdoor tub was awesome to get him cleaned up before getting back in the car. Alison L.
