HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

The bridge trail brings bike traffic, but you will likely never interact with them because they are on the other side of the fence. Also, during peak season, you will see and hear river activity from paddle boarders to kayakers. They should not stop on the beach. They will continue on to Los Colonias and beyond.

Description

Welcome to Sweet River — a peaceful off‑leash haven where your pup can roam, sniff, and explore the beauty of nature, even in the winter season. With the river running low and the landscape in its natural cold‑weather state, this spot offers a quiet, rustic adventure for curious dogs and their humans. 🍂 Seasonal Notes for Winter Visitors Amenities are limited during winter. The porta‑potty and certain comfort features are unavailable until late spring, so please plan ahead. Natural ground cover is present. Fallen leaves, burs, and seasonal debris may be found throughout the property. These are part of the natural environment, and we encourage guests to book with awareness of winter conditions. Outdoor furniture is simplified for the season. Our table and chairs remain available, but umbrellas and shade features have been stored. River conditions vary. The water level is very low in winter, and edges may be icy or uneven. Please supervise dogs closely near the river and review Sniffspot’s water‑safety guidelines before visiting. 🐶 What Makes Sweet River Special Gentle river access for wading and exploration during safe conditions Rocky terrain and a small sandy patch for varied sensory play A quiet, secluded setting far from crowded dog parks A peaceful winter landscape perfect for sniffing, wandering, and decompressing Even in the colder months, Sweet River offers a refreshing, nature‑forward escape. Breathe in the crisp air, enjoy the stillness, and let your pup experience a seasonal adventure designed for open space, exploration, and calm.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

This spot includes a natural river feature and seasonal terrain. Please review Sniffspot’s water safety guidelines before visiting. River Access: The river is unfenced and may pose a risk for dogs who are curious or unfamiliar with water. While many dogs avoid it naturally, supervision is strongly recommended near the water’s edge, especially during winter when conditions may be icy or unpredictable. Burs and Natural Debris: The property includes wild areas where burs may be present, particularly in colder months. We are actively working to manage them, but they can be evasive. Please check your dog’s coat after play and avoid areas with dense brush if your dog is sensitive. Seasonal Limitations: Amenities such as the porta-potty and some comfort features are not available during winter. This is noted in the listing and communicated in pre-visit messages. Navigation: The property is rural and may take time to locate. We recommend reviewing the directions provided in your booking confirmation and allowing extra time for arrival.

Natural Debris: Burs, leaves, and seasonal ground cover may be present. We work continuously to manage them, but they are part of the natural environment. Please check your dog’s coat after play. Cleanliness: Please clean up after your pet. Waste bags are available in the basket. 🛎 Amenities & Extras Water Station: Fresh water is provided for dogs, along with a cool drink for their humans. (Spring and Summer only) Seasonal Amenities: Some features—such as shade umbrellas or the porta‑potty—may be unavailable during winter or inclement weather. These updates are always noted in the listing. 📅 Booking & Cancellation Policies Arrival & Departure: Please arrive and leave within your scheduled time to avoid overlap with other guests.
