45Great little hiking area. It was a little difficult to find the parking spot and trail head but she guided us to it. Definitely bring boots or shoes for playing in/near a creek as she suggests. Our dog loved the area.
55What a wonderful spot!! Beautiful day and 3 dogs had a great time! They played chase up and down the low stream where it is very sandy. Sorry I didn’t get a pic! As advertised and very pleasant! Helpful hostess, we will be back! Thank you!
55Great spot, plenty of room to run and sniff. Thanks for sharing your spot!
55We love this spot! Trails are beautiful and hosts are exceptional!
55Beautiful trails and the host is kind and responsive!
45Overall experience was positive. The trail is not well marked nor cleared due to overgrowth. We struggled to find our way around. Eventually, we found what appeared to be the rainbow sign, but it was faded and didn't lead to any clear path. For the price, it was a good spot and close enough to where we live. Honestly, it's not what we expected and most likely won't return but overall our puppy had a good time sniffing around.
55we LOVED visiting here!!! had a blast. i brought my reactive white swiss and my bike, and it was perfect. he’s exhausted!!! the host did have their dog out when we got there, but quickly brought them inside. i do recommend bringing bug spray and a towel! our pup got pretty muddy and there were lots of bugs. but it was a ton of fun, we’d totally go again
25Instructions are to have dogs leashed when arrived which is very appropriate but did not expect the owners dog to be loose. To be fair I booked close to time and understand the mistake and someone called the dog into the house after many failed attempts and it had already reached me an my dogs. What I did not expect was the dog to be loose again when i returned to my car as the owner knew me and my dogs were on the property. Luckily the dog was friendly but one of my dogs is not too accepting of other animals and it was a very inappropriate situation to put me and my animals in from the spot owner. I called out many times to the spot holders house to inform them my dog was not friendly and to recall their dog with no response. Just because your animal does well with other doesn’t mean your guest animals do. Additionally workers were on the trail with me and my dogs. The trail should have been closed due to workers and wasn’t, but the main concern being unattended dogs while the property was being used.
45It is a very nice spot for an off leash dog or even a long line! The trail is very wild and natural which is awesome, but be aware of your surroundings and make sure to keep track of the trail markers! Me and my pup ended up getting lost and coming out of the woods on a completely different road and had to walk on the highway to get back. No fault of the sniffspot owner! Just orient yourself frequently when you are in the woods. Overall my dog got some extra exercise and had fun!
55We had a great visit! Super quiet and peaceful. We had no problems finding the spot, some of the signage was a little confusing so we got lost along the trail. But the creek was awesome and our dog really enjoyed herself.

our dog is sweet and very good with other dogs. He can be put inside and out of sight during visits upon request. Please let me know if this is needed, he is confined to his electric fence area (marked with white flags) but he also sometimes joins a few of our guests (by their request) and is excellent at assisting with off leash training and recall

This is a secluded neighborhood/area access and it is rare to see anyone out in the watershed reserved lands in this area. It is public land though so it is not impossible to run across someone. We recommend if your dog is off leash that they are able to be recalled easily.

Pre-made ATV trails, creeks, wetlands and a small river await exploring by you and your pup(s) while immersed in solitude and nature. We welcome you to our little peace of heaven backing up to the national watershed reserves and game-land. We offer parking on the side of our yard away from the house where you'll have access to 4+ acres of woods within our property, and trail entrances to the public water-shed/game-lands. ******We only open our Sniffspot during non-hunting seasons for safety purposes. ****** Our family has been hiking these same trails for 10+ years, and over 100's of times with our pups. We have been blessed with its wonderous beauty and the pure exhilaration our furry babies get being out there, doing what they love. We are happy to share our little peace of heaven with all the pups and kahu of the world who treasure the joy of running free in the forest.
