55Best sniffspot I have found!! Area is secure and safe. There is a lot of grassy space for running and hoses to cool off, or wash your dog after playtime! There’s a great water feature that’s safe (no gators or snakes) and the dogs love it now that it’s starting to warm up again. Love the property and my dogs had a blast. :) Can’t say enough great things about this location, we will definitely be back!Kelley K.

55What a lovely spot! Our dog spent most of his time swimming in the pond...went home a very tired and happy pup. There was water provided, and a comfy bench to sit on...the cleanest barn I have ever seen! Will most definitely be back.Jennifer C.

5510/10!! Absolutely wonderful experience! My 85-pound dog loved the large area to run around in and she especially loved the barn that she could run through with plenty of shade! This was a fantastic first SniffSpot for us and we will be back again! The pond had cute little ducks in it and my dog loved running around watching them bathe! It was so cute.
Kelly had such a nice set up and wash station for dogs and provided many amenities like towels, brushes, dog shampoo, and water bowls for any situation you may need. I especially appreciate how secure the fencing was and that there were plenty of places for me to sit and watch my dog have a BLAST!! We will definitely be back and Kelly truly provided a wonderful place for my dog to run around and have a paw-some time!! ☺️☺️☺️ thank you, Kelly!!! Louisa F.

55The location of the yard available is right past the house on the right. Gate is closed but not locked. Lots of room to run. Some sunny but a couple of giant trees offer enough shade. My dogs ran in and out of the pond and got filthy but there is a real nice set up to hose the dogs down. So they got into their crate wet, but relatively clean. Will definitely book again. Theresa B.

55Entry is easy to find with instructions as well as visual aid (sniffspot logo sign) on the indicated gate. Very clean. Cute photo ops, red barn in spot. Towels & easy wash station for your dog. Small pond was fun for my water loving poodle.
Huge shade tree makes for great shelter from the sun for you & your dog.
Amazing little escape from the city! You can see cows across the street from the spot. Also when I drove up I saw a handful of doe running across the fence line on the opposite side in midday.
Lawn was well manicured. Fences intact.
We will return!

55Beautiful property but unfortunately there was a thunderstorm and we had to leave after 20 minutes. The barn was great for shelter but lightning was dropping close by and our dog was scared. They did provide toys and there were towels, a trash can, poop bags, soap, washcloths, and a wash station. He did have fun during the short time that we stayed, so hope to come back and let him explore when the weather permits.Sierra M.
