55This was our first Sniffspot and we had a great experience! Our dog loved having a new place to explore off leash. You can tell the host really thought about what dogs and their humans might need while exploring their property.
We made a mistake when booking and ended up arriving and departing a half hour late. The host caught up with us when he recognized we were a half hour over our time and helped us realize the mistake. He was very kind and gracious about it, which we appreciated! Luckily, there was no one booked after us so our mistake didn’t affect another Sniffspot client. Catie W.

55The trail from the parking area to club zoomies is one of the better maintained trails I’ve been to at a sniffspot. It was very wide and they even laid down gravel in muddy areas! My dogs loved playing in the pond, sand area and parkour wall. Kera K.

55This is hands down the best Sniffspot I've ever visited! The trails through the woods are secluded and beautiful, a perfect little getaway for me and my reactive pup. Tim and Brenda were quick to answer my questions. They've really thought of everything and have created such a lovely space. We'll definitely be back! Elizabeth H.

55Clearly marked parking area with signs guiding you to the trails and helpful signs all along the way. I almost got turned around in the trails. The pond is near the entrance if you're worried about your dog jumping on the water you'll be clear once you go up the trail. The walk in is at a slight elevation and a bit muddy but not too bad I'd recommend boots though as the weather gets worse. My dogs have pretty good recall and I felt comfortable letting them run off leash but if your dog is the type to just run I wouldn't let them off leash as they're are several areas they could take off into the dnr land. I appreciated the covered area with chairs and table to take a break from the rain for a few. Overall a fun spot abd lots of room for dogs to run Melissa C.

55We had an amazing time! It was so peaceful and quiet. We sat in the chairs at Club Zoomies and were able to just relax and soak in the morning sun.🌞 They have signage all the way from the road to the parking area and even out on the trails to guide you on the right path, which I really appreciated. The hosts have truly thought of everything to ensure you have a great visit! I absolutely loved ♥️ all the special touches throughout the whole spot that made you feel welcome. We can't wait to come back for another visit! Thanks again for sharing your slice of heaven!Delena C.

55This is such a beautiful spot, with some great trails and a lovely meadow to play ball in. The host has set up a covered area near the meadow with chairs and a table--very thoughtful! We were only at the spot for 30 minutes; I'd recommend at least an hour at this spot. We were there on a Saturday and did hear gunshots for much of the time we were there, but I've been to this spot with a friend a couple of times before (on Fridays), and it was perfectly tranquil.Sara E.

55A very magical location! My number one piece of advice is anything less than 2 hours is not enough time to enjoy this magnificent place. We will be booking 3-4 hours next time and bringing lunch and coffee with us to stay a while.
The Sniffspot parking area and trail was well marked. The trail is clean, well maintained, and wasn't muddy when we went. I wore rubber boots anyways tobe prepared. There is a small peaceful pond with great reflections. I only noticed one pile of dog poop by the pond that wasn't cleaned up by a previous Sniffer, which really isn't that bad. Poop happens. Along the trail, you can locate Sniffspot signs where the host provides information and direction. The host clearly marked the edge of the property and anywhere beyond that is public land and so you should leash your dog and the host warns that anywhere beyond that boundary you may see humans or dogs. The trail has many different offshoots and areas that are more rugged to explore. Human tree lovers will enjoy the follage and magnificent nursing trees. It was truly serene and secluded. I could have camped there! In my opinion the bugs weren't very bad when I went. The host provides bug spray at checkpoints along the trail. We hopped over a small creek on a small stable bridge to enter the next area.
After a short walk along the forest trail you come to an opening with rolling grassy hills (mowed), cedar trees, and a well protected horse pasture. My pup was interested in the horse, but moved off fine. He thinks they are giant puppies. At the clearing there is a canopy shelter, chairs, firepit, and convenience supplies.
I would advise to set a timer and head back towards the car 15-20 minutes before your time is up if you have a dog like mine who likes to smell everything.
On the way back home we stopped at SnoTown coffee for the best coffee I've ever had.
We will be returning here and telling our dog friends about this place and increasing our visit time to a minimum of 3 hours in the future.Nikki B.
