55Great place! Dogs love the trails and open field!
55This was a really awesome spot!
55Just beautiful! We got very lost on the way there (via Waze), but once we made it, it was totally worth the effort. The dogs were in heaven, and it was a peaceful city escape for the humans too. We’ll be back for sure.
55Great host and a great spot for my two energetic doggos to run free!
55Our girls had a lot of fun. We will definitely be back.❤️
55Well maintained spot with tons of room to explore, walk, and sniff. Great communication from Mandy, and you can tell they put a lot of thought and care into the property. Thanks for sharing!
55The trails were great for walking
55The dogs had a wonderful time! This was our first time using Sniffspot and we were not disappointed. I definitely recommend West Willow Acres!
55Our dogs had the best time and the pond kept them cool even in the heat! Will definitely be back.
55THE best Sniffspot out there! My 4 dogs has the absolute best time and Mandy, the host, was truly amazing! Everything we needed was readily available, the grounds were beautiful and the pond was so fun for my dogs! We will absolutely be returning! We also did pictures and Mandy truly captured my dogs so well! So thankful!

Description

Welcome to West Willow Acres! Follow us on Instagram and tag us in your pics: @westwillowacres My husband, our dog, West, and I are so excited to share our little slice of heaven with you. The property is just over 8 acres and fully fenced with barb wire cattle fencing. The portion of the property around the house has more secure wire mesh fencing! We have lots of seating available, we just ask you don't come onto the porch for our dog's sake (: The property has meadows, trees, walking trails, and a pond for you and your pup to enjoy! Right off 35! Are you traveling down 35 with your pet? Take a pit stop at our Sniffspot and let your furry friend stretch their legs then be back on the road no problem!

Hazards

HONEYBEES 🐝 We are keeping honeybees on the back right corner of our property. The bees are kept inside of a fenced off shelter so that animals (including your doggos) can’t reach the hives directly. That being said if you are nervous about bees or allergic, we would recommend avoiding the back right corner of our property. We have signs warning you when you’re close and pointing you in a different direction. We have not found ticks on our dog even after running through the tall grass but I still recommend that you check your dog afterwards. Our neighbor does have cattle that will occasionally come up to the fence (please do not approach if your dog can be aggressive). There is always the chance of poison oak in the taller grass so humans should be vigilant. Also we have seen the occasional ant hill. Although we have not seen any yet, always be aware of snakes since we are in the country. As mentioned above, the fencing is mostly 5 strand barbed wire cattle fencing. See 7th picture in profile for reference. An escape artist could crawl through some parts of the fence if they really tried - but our dog never has.
