55Very nice open space for the dogs. A bit hard to get to because the gate code has to be entered quite a few times before it opens and there is no cell service. But other than that it is perfect. Mint A.

55Great spot for your dog to romp around! There are picnic tables and chairs around a nice wide open space to play fetch with your pup and a cute little trail for a nice adventure. Highly recommend!Gabby D.

55Great, open spot, tucked away in the canyon in a beautiful setting. Kept our dogs on a long lead, but might try off leash next time. They had fun exploring, and the amenities for humans were nice on a hot day!Trish D.

55If you don't mind (or, better yet, enjoy)dust and dirt road driving, followed by hiking the same, then this is the spot!
Its amazingly beautiful, and depending on what you choose to do it can be physically challenging.
If you're not sure that you can control your dog off leash, then this is not a place to test it. There's so much for a dog to explore, but if you're capable of handling a long leash, then the 20 ft leash available to borrow will let your dog have all the fun while still being relatively safe. I had mine on 100 ft leash, but could have been fine with 50 ft.
Amenities are very well kept up with.
Make sure your car can handle steep slopes and serpentine roads. Liza P.

55This property is beautiful with a short trail and views of surrounding hillsides. There was plenty of room for the dogs to run around, and also for them to sprawl out and enjoy the tranquility when they were tuckered out! Amanda T.

55My dog is fear based aggressive and reactive- although we are training it’s really nice to not have to be on guard. We appreciate the opportunity to be free. The only thing I’d advise is there is a pot hole driving up. But otherwise THANK YOU!Kerstin G.

55Zion loved it, so we loved it. The directions were very clear and the space is great for sniffing, digging, jumping at lizards, and running as fast as you can. I just walked around with a ball that he doesn't know how to retrieve. It was great. Highly recommend!Jae H.

55What a beautiful location and lovely treat. This is our first time visiting and it was so nice to walk our two pups off leash and let them run. They are a bit reactive to other dogs and this was such a treat. Beware there are other dogs next door but it is fully fenced and wasn’t a problem. Already booked our next visit. Kasi C.

55My little family and I absolutely loved this space! It was such a beautiful little escape and the mountains were stunning! I mistakenly thought it was more of hiking spot than it is but that didn’t stop us from having two hours of fun! Our two dogs have pretty good recall and we’re off leash. There is a big open area and the trail is wide enough to run and play frisbee! Our dogs were tired for days after. The hiking area is probably a total of .25 miles in each direction (two possible directions). We went one way, spent time running and playing frisbee then went the other way before heading back to our car. We had a lovely time and I’d highly recommend this space! Also worth keeping in mind that the main path connects to what seems like a service road at the bottom and we did encounter a couple of trucks come through. It wasn’t an issue for us but we definitely made sure to not have our dogs go that far down.Nare n.

55My dog Ella & I had a nice relaxing time at Quail View Ranch private dog park. Beautiful serene area up in the mountains in Thousand Oaks. Lots of birds and the sound of the nearby creek. Ella loved sniffing around.
The last part of the drive is a dirt road with several potholes so drive slow & be careful. Worth the drive. Mary M.

55Absolutely breathtaking property. There is enough flexibility to make it an easy or challenging day out with your dogs. I kept my girl on a 30ft lead while we explored the wide trails. Next time I’m booking two hours and bringing a picnic lunch. The directions given were super easy to follow. Be aware that the private dirt road and steep driveway are NO JOKE. Please make sure you drive SLOW like 3-5mph and have a sturdy car. The potholes and uneven pavement due to the rain are aplenty.Mae P.

55Such a great spot!! It’s a bit tucked away, but that’s what makes it so special. I like that Koko can run around freely and get the hiking experience without having to worry about running into other pups. I have been there twice and it’s always beautiful. It is worth the drive and it is the only Sniffspot around the area where I live that offers something like this. Highly recommend!Laura P.

55Beautiful property! Rowan enjoyed all the new smells. Couple of things to consider. I went in the early afternoon and it was quite warm. Suggest early morning. The driveway is very steep. Consider the vehicle your taking with that in mind. Thanks again, Jen!Joy D.

55We had a great time! Thanks so much to the host for having us! Views are stunning and our dog had a great time going up and down the trails! Our rescue pup is fear-reactive so it’s amazing being able to see her confidence build in new spaces while working on her recall 💞 Worth the drive from L.A& Excited for the next visit now that we’re familiar with the area! Also was very fun driving up to the property- I have a jeep so I very much enjoy the dirt roads! Thanks again! Brenna T.
