55Love love love this spot! Such a gorgeous property. My dogs weren't interested in swimming but the pond was very pretty and has a sloped entrance that would've made it easy for the dogs to enter/exit. The dogs had a blast exploring and running around. It was nice to have a covered seating area and I love hearing the sound of crooning chickens. Mike met us when we arrived and gave us a remote to open/close the gate.
We felt the fences were secure and none of this was an issue for our dogs, but for others to consider - the fenceline to the right of the property was right up against a yard with chickens and 2 dogs. A pretty thin fence so our dogs got nose-to-nose though the dogs were friendly after the initial barking (probably guarding their chickens). The fenceline straight ahead has a chicken coop pretty close. And to the left is a horse paddock, again right up along the fence. We liked meeting these animal friends but if you have a more reactive or prey-driven dog, take note.Ali S.

55Alison’s place was amazing!! Having a reactive dog is hard, especially when you want them off leash to have some fun. We were able to have the whole place to ourselves and the pups loved it! Having a pool for them to cool off on this hot day was the highlight. Maureen K.

55Beautiful property! Very clean with lots of fun stuff to do including a pond for dogs to swim in. The owner was super friendly and welcoming, and they even put out towels for us to use after swimming. Our first time trying Sniffspot, and it was a great experience!Loryn H.

55Wonderful spot for dogs to be off leash! Everything was exactly as described. Communication with host was superb and access instructions were clear and easy. My dogs enjoyed all of the space to run, the water to play in, and seeing the farm animals next door. Highly recommend and 100% will be visiting again!Rick B.

55We met 1 of the hosts as we came in, super friendly & exceptionally accommodating! My pups absolutely loved it. Completely fenced & lots of smells & different things to keep them busy and run some energy off. They ran, swam, played in the grass & we played fetch. It was a great time! Stephanie C.

55This spot is a big dogs dream park! We arrived with Sophie Joy and her sister Gypsy (90lb Labs) and both could not get out of the car fast enough:) This location is the perfect mix of hill and slope with plenty of flat area. It only took the girls 2 min to discover the water pond and they both played in the water. For us humans there is a beautiful covered deck with chairs that keeps you close to the fun but not in it. If you have good recall with your dog this might be your spot. Thank you to the host for the gate code and prompt response. Be aware that map quest will send you out of your way. But neighbors are friendly and sent us to the right spot.Kitri O.

55This sniffspot was great, my pup really enjoyed getting in the water. I will note, the neighbor has a horse who came over to the fence and my pup did not like that, but the space is big enough that I could keep her away from that part of the yard. The horse eventually wandered off and we didn’t have any issue but an FYI for folks whose dogs may not like other animals. There were also some chickens visible but my dog didn’t mind those. Overall, a great space for my dog to play for a bit. Stefanie G.

55We found this sniffspot near one of my kids gymnastics so it was cool to come walk our dog some laps instead of sitting there waiting for her. My other daughter liked being out as well, we had kind of a hike and my dog is pooped. We were able to see some farm animals around in other peoples properties so that was cool and my dog didn’t react which is good to know! Hoping to come back in summer and see if I can get him to jump in that pond :D Mandy M.

55Fantastic spot to bring dogs with a ton of space to run! Our dog was well worn out at the end of two hours, and we still had time to relax in the shade. Alison was super welcoming and communicative. Definitely looking forward to booking again.Ashley H.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines.
