55Nice yard for the dogs to sniff around and explore. Easy access and within walking distance of my house to walk instead of drive there. Lots of garden areas so not a good yard for a digging dog, but for a dog that likes to run around and explore, it is good! Alexis N.

55This Spot has become our favorite. The yard is peaceful and clean. My pup loves it. It's more expensive than other spots in the area, or we would be able to visit it more often.
But we will still visit as much as we can.Beth S.

55What a lovely and peaceful setting! The pups loved it and I did too. Nice long grassy area for fetch. The water bowl was filled and waiting for us. We'd love to return!Karen B.

55Know that in the wooded area there are (understandably) lots of brambles — we accidentally threw the ball amuck and had to search 😳😂 Cool spot and clearly marked. Tracy M.

55Very clear directions for parking, clean area, and fun little loop in the woods! Our older, reactive dog had a great time and got tired out super quick! Mara X.

55Absolutely delightful, and she was happy to fill the doggy pool even on short notice. Our two pups often tire of a sniff spot before the hour is up (cause they are lazy creatures) but I was the one hauling them out tonight! Of note, if you are going towards dusk, some bug spray would be helpful for some skeeters. Rebecca A. D.

55Our second visit :-). If you’re unsteady on your feet just stay in the uphill “meadow” (you can still keep an eye on your dog). The “downhill” woodsy part might be a little rough for a grandma and gramps > 80yo. Anyway it’s peaceful and lovely and plenty of room for my doggo to have her zoomies.

55Easy parking and access and well-maintained yard. Excellent spot for a neutral-ground play date for one of our pups and a friend’s dog. Will definitely be back. Ross L.

55It's truly a delightful place to spend an hour. The natural trails are perfect for a leisurely stroll, and it's a beautiful spot to unwind and spend time in the hammocks. It's a great place to let your dogs roam and explore. This is one of those places you can visit when you need a quick hour of exercise and relaxation. It's just the perfect spot.Tye F.

55Great space for our dogs to run. There is a nice wooded area in the back half of the property that makes a loop. Our dogs enjoyed running in circles and playing chase. Amber M.

55Beautiful - an open grass lawn to get their zoomies out, and a wooded area with paths. Sun and shade. This SniffSpot didn’t lack for anything! The host’s cat and my doggo stared at each other thru a sliding glass door. My dog was raised on a farm with feral barn cats, so I think she was stupefied that a cat could be inside a house. For sure we’ll be repeat visitors. Leann N.
