55Great for your water dog and worth paying extra for pool access just for the cozy shaded seating and clean deck next to it. Our senior dog had trouble getting in and out of the pool but jumpers will be fine. Note the pool is 5 to 8 feet deep, so if you go in to assist you can only stand at one end. Whole area was very clean and well fenced. The backyard play area was high quality astroturf, also very well kept. Our host thoughtfully provided extra towels and a bunch of toys for dogs big and small. Would book again!Philip B.

55My dogs loved this Sniff Spot! The host was very communicative. The turf was a huge plus, they didn’t get quite as dirty as they normally do playing in grass or dirt.Audrey S.

55This was a great spot! Lots of parking available, easy to access, fully fenced and the grass in the back is perfect. I can’t wait to try out the pool with our two dogs once it gets warmer out! Kathryn K.

55The host is very communicative and helpful! The yard does have a large area (within the fence) with a trailer and a lot of rocks and dead grass that our puppy was very interested in (and I didn't see this area in the pics, so didn't know it was there) and we had to keep him contained to the turf area as the other area had a lot of stuff he wanted to put in his mouth. We would go back again!Faith K.

55May seem dramatic but this was everything we could have dreamed up. We don’t like taking our dogs to public dog parks or beaches for various reasons but all we have wanted to see is them with a yard to freely and non-judgmentally play. This experience was everything and more! The hosts even made it extra special leaving us “happy birthday” notes when I just so slightly mentioned it was my partner’s birthday. It was perfect, thank you so so much!!!Lexi M.

55This is a great Sniffspot for you pups! Taylor left clear instructions on parking and how to enter. They had a personalized note at the door and chalk sign. There were lots of toy options to choose from. The ball pit was a great addition. The place was clean! Our pup loved the changes in terrain and got all her zoomies out! Two fresh bowls of water for our baby! Great experience! Will be doing this again!Stephanie M.

55This was our second time back and, once again, we had a blast! Our dogs absolutely love coming here because of how much space they have to run. Now that it’s summer we hope to keep coming back even more often!Emma L.

55This place was amazing and exactly as described. I brought my slightly reactive dog along with my friend and her dog to get some running and playtime in. It was just what they needed, living in a small space these girls spent the hour sniffing, playing, and running with no stress about other dogs, or them escaping. It was peaceful, clean and there were shaded areas for them to cool off and have some water. They were tired after about 30 minutes so we used the rest of the time to work on recall training. All-in-all and great experience and I would definitely do it again! Anita N.

55This is a great SniffSpot! It's very clean, well-fenced, and easy to find. She offers several extras which we will try next time--a play fountain, bottled water for the humans, etc. . . We will definitely go back. I'm sorry I didn't take any pictures! We got so busy exploring and playing that I forgot.Tracy S.

55So cute and clean, the dogs loved it! Pretty good sized we managed to play a little frisbee and get some zoomies, even tried out the tunnel! Tall fences and soft turf! We booked on kind of short notice for a mom lazy day due to a head cold- and they had a little welcome note ❤️❤️ Ariel J.
