We had a wonderful time! Our baby Bear had plenty of room to run and it was great to see him off leash without worrying about reactivity. It was also absolutely gorgeous views for me and my husband. Would highly recommend this place and hope to return soon. Thank you!!!

Beautiful spot and a great hillside for dogs to wear themselves out. Water available, shade, spots for sitting. My dogs had a blast exploring. Beware of ticks.

Our dog Leo loved this spot! There was lots of space for him to run around it. There was also a small pond where he went swimming. The instructions to enter were very clear and the location was easy to find. I would definitely come here again.

Grassy fenced in areas perfect for lots of sniffing. Do be careful of ticks in the tall grass as we did find one on Lumi after!

Joyce C.

Fantastic, well-fenced, beautiful acreage, with a fun for dogs pond, grassy hills, and a gracious, friendly host! Would definitely book again and recommend this beautiful spot!

January 2025

Lovely open area partially on a low hill with lots of room to run and roam. Covered areas to leave our backpack of dog toys so I could play hands-free with my dog.

This is a fabulous spot! Antoni, the host, is friendly and nice to communicate with. The four acre pasture area is very securely fenced, no holes anywhere, clean, and safe. In January the grass was green and soft, not too tall, with no weeds, and only a small amount of mud. The dogs loved the little pond (tested for algae) and climbing on the rocks. There's a steepish hill in the back that was fun to climb, as well as a flatter area near the entrance, two shade structures and chairs. We will definitely be visiting again.

antoni has always been so flexible and a great communicator! he really cares about the sniffspot. since i’ve come here he’s made so many awesome improvements!

This spot is a dogs dream! The water access was fantastic and the hill helped tire my dogs quickly and efficiently. Gate needs to be strapped securely or unfortunately escapees will squeeze through.

Antonio was so helpful and welcoming. This was my first time using Sniffspot. He spent time explaining how it works. My dogs loved his play area. It's a nice mix of level area and a hill to run up and down. Will visit again.

Antoni was incredibly welcoming during our visit, creating an inviting atmosphere right from the start. It’s impressive to see the significant improvements he has made since our first visit, including the enhancement of the facilities and the overall experience for both pets and their owners. Each corner of the Sniffspot reflects his dedication and passion for creating a safe and enjoyable environment. He mentioned that even more upgrades and features are in the pipeline, which only adds to our excitement. We truly love coming to this Sniffspot, and we are already looking forward to our next visit to see what new developments await us!

Even better than last time. Nice pathways cleared now, new seating/rest area for the humans. Really nice, 10/10. Thank you!!!

Our girl loved the open space of this sniff spot. She ran and ran and even ended up in the little pond. We didn’t plan on that but how could we tell her no? It was pretty muddy but that didn’t stop us. We will 100% be back!

Kate H.

Beautiful spot! Kaya loved the grass, running up and down the steep hill, swimming in the pond and especially watching the cows across the road. Far enough away that she didn't have to bark at them, but close enough for her to monitor their movements. There is a gravel and paving-stone path to get to the shade structures and chairs -- but it was really rainy recently, so it was hard (maybe impossible) to get onto the path without walking in mud and water. We were dressed for it, and Kaya was happy to get muddy.

Perfect spot! We had an absolutely fantastic time and both dogs were blissfully relaxed the rest of the day. The fencing is secure with no gaps, directions and communication is clear, and there are plenty of supplies like toys, water, chairs and trash cans. And the landscape itself couldn't be more beautiful. Can't wait to return!

One of my dog's top two spots--he always has a blast and gets worn out from running all over the hill and playing in the pond. This time we met two dog friends and an exciting time was had by all.

Christine B.

March 2025

Great host. Lovely place for my husky to run around in grass in an area fully fenced so it helps ease the worry for pup parents with dogs who like to escape. My girl also took advantage of the pond which is not deep.

Brad V.

March 2025

Great spot, gorgeous view if you hike to the top of the hill, great exercise for the pup. Easy to find, instructions were clear.

Wendy M.

Returned for second time with a dog that I was taking care of. She had a great time. It's nice how there is a hill to run up and level space. It's a very peaceful place. Will be back again.

Antoni is a great and friendly host! Such a great, gorgeous area to let our pup run and enjoy. It's already a great space, and there are plans to make it even better. Can't wait to come back!
