55This spot has everything! It is such a cool, hidden gem. There are all sorts of little trails, a creek for the dogs to play in (or drink from) and overall tons of space to sniff and play. Also a very well kept bathroom if needed, which we really appreciated since we drove 1+ hour to get to this spot. Very excited to come back in warmer weather with many pups!Liz H.

55If I could give this spot more than 5 stars, I would! John and Stephanie are incredibly welcoming and kind hosts and the spot is amazing. Their animals are all so chill and used to dogs, so it was a great chance for my city pups to meet the friendly goats on our way through the pasture to the Sniffspot. The Sniffspot space is truly a wonderland for pups - streams to splash in, wooden bridges, trees and rocks to climb on, open spaces for romping, so many trails to explore, and an adorable cabin where you can relax on the porch for a bit. Come prepared for some mud and slippery bridges if you visit during the rainy season, but it's SO worth it. I recommend booking at least 2 hrs to fully explore all that this spot has to offer. We've been out from West Seattle twice now and will absolutely be back - my dogs lost their minds with excitement when we arrived for our second visit! Kate S.

55Loved it! My pups had so much fun and met a cow! Played in the water too! Our host was amazing and showed us around while still being safe with social distancing and wearing a mask. Would highly recommend even with it being a bit of a drive. Definitely worth it! Cassandra B.

55When we first arrived John came Outside and gave us a full tour of the property to ensure we didn’t get lost. My dogs absolutely love this area, they can swim and run until they drop and they even got to say hi to some goats. Not only do my dogs love this area, but I do as well. Absolutely beautiful and you get the hiking experience without a bunch of other people around. Kelli P.

55Such an amazing experience for my pup and for us! So much land for them to roam freely, jumping around the creeks and pretty waterfalls and running everywhere!! My puppy got to meet the goats and the cows they had there. They even helped spray off my dogs legs & dried him off before we let him back in the car. Definitely recommend this place and will be back! Amanda B.

55I’m Kate and I’m also a Sniffspot host out in Tacoma. I’m blown away by both John’s and Stephanie’s warm welcome. They made me and my mom feel very welcomed, orienting us where to go and explore. I cannot recommend this place enough for those looking for a little adventure out in the woods with their pup. This top spot is a gem. Beautiful, beautiful place. The photos you see do not do justice. Come and experience the magic of this place yourself. My dogs; 9 mos old St Berdoodle and 9 weeks old Newfypoo had a blast. We booked for 1.5 hours but had to leave a little early for my pup’s vet appointment. I Will book again in the near future. 🐾🐶❤️Kate T.

55My Great Dane and I were there on a less than stellar day, but we still greatly enjoyed our time and the hospitality of our hosts John and Stephanie. The property is lovely, with so much to offer people and pups. Even though the weather wasn’t amenable to a lot of exploring, we enjoyed our time hanging out under the deep eave of the cabin and the protection of the hemlocks when we did venture out to walk. This Spot and the hosts are far and above.Ilana C.

55We come here at least once a week and it never fails to disappoint. This time we had an added bonus of seeing a deer. My doggo took off like a shot and had to run at least 100 yards uphill to chase him. Needless to say he was not successful in catching up with him but he had a blast trying. He was a very tired pup afterwards too! Bonnie B.

55We come here often and always book 2 hours. The time flies by and we have so much fun. There are loads of smells and lots of woodsy trails to explore. The creek is a huge bonus and the water is fresh and clean. One of our most favorite spots. Thanks John and Stephanie! Susan D.

55We were warmly welcomed and lead to the sniff spot area. We have a dog who is afraid of people she doesn’t know and our hosts were very understanding. The property is magical with many bridges over the creek that are beautiful and look like they were made by faeries. The trails lined by moss covered logs. And the gurgling of the creek was relaxing. We were encouraged to sit on the covered porch of the empty cabin in the woods, especially if it started to rain. Our dog and my daughter could not have had a better time.Sol R.

55A great spot! Totally different in fall vs summer, lots of new nature for the dogs to explore with the new season. There is a rear entrance which is super useful for dogs that might not be trusted around farm animalsMaria S.

FAQ about our Sunnyside dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 80% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Sunnyside area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 18 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 2 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
