55The yard was very clean and had everything you need like toys, poop bags, and water. My dogs had a great time. There’s plenty of space to run around. However, if you have reactive dogs this may not be the best option. My dogs were fine with the kids playing in the yard next door until the kids started barking at my dogs, making my dog bark back. Nothing the hosts have control over, and most guests won’t likely have any issue with this. Im also not upset because kids should be kids! I’m only posting it as a heads up for people with more anxious dogs. We will be coming back, but perhaps at a different time when the kids are less likely to be around. abbey a.

55Cozy garden. Our dog enjoyed her visit and was exhausted after only 30 min! Of note, there are neighbors with kids and a happy little dog which might be too much for a very reactive dog. Evgenia R.

55I now have a very sleepy pup! We had a great time today and the area was just beautiful and clearly well cared for. My dog doesn’t get to go off-leash often, so a peaceful space like this is really valuable. We’d love to come back soon. Meghan B.

55Thank you so much! My dogs Anabelle and Zacky had so much fun running off leash and sniffing everything. They even saw your neighbor ride by on his horse…they’ve never seen a horse before so that was exciting for them. My dogs had a great time! It’s not that often they get to run off leash. Thanks again!Lorraine M.

55A lovely rustic yard with lots of places to investigate. It was a great place for us to practice recall because of all the different areas. Parking in a convenient space outside the gate. If you have trouble walking on uneven surfaces, you may have trouble following your dog around, but otherwise, it's just right. Tessa O.

55Great spot for senior dogs to roam and sniff. It occupied my dogs the entire time. The fence is very secure with no gaps. My nosey little chihuahua was squishing in all kinds of corners and it was 100% secure. We went early and it was cool and overcast, perfect weather for my old black dogs. Will definitely be back! Side note, the was a big, loud dog across the street. It did NOT bother my dogs, but maybe it would to others. It was brought in and not left to bark however. Niki & Ben C.

55Darcy loved the place and even though it was quite warm on the day we went, it was cool in the shade where the chairs are. There was a nice breeze coming through every once in awhile. Over all a very nice experience. Megan D.

55My dogs had a great time at this sniff spot! My dogs love fetch and we enjoyed the long driveway to run back and forth. For reactive dog owners: We could hear two dogs barking but only see one across the street for a few minutes.Taylor L.

55What a wonderful yard! My two dogs had an amazing time here. There is so much for them to sniff and explore, and there is even toys and bags on site as well. One of my dogs is small and a bit of an escape artist, but I had no issues in this yard. It is very securely fenced, and my pups were very safe and secure and free to explore. Would definitely go back again!Jessica J.

55This is an amazing sniff spot!! There was plenty of space for my puppy to explore, run, fetch, and practice recall! It was a beautiful yard with lots of spaces for me to sit and enjoy the scenery while my puppy sniffed his little heart out. It is fully fenced with no chance of escaping that I could see. Overall it was great!Elizabeth D.
