SashaBear and Max had the pleasure of being the first guests at this new Sniffspot. Quiet country setting with about 4 acres of trails and 1 acre of mowed grassy area. The trails were a excellent workout for all of us. The snow was making the ground a bit muddy but I came prepared with waterproof boots lol. Can't wait to see the beauty of this place once spring gets here! Within our hour we spotted deer and a huge group of turkeys! If you have dogs with good recall, high energy and want a good hike for yourself, this acreage checks a lot of boxes! Hosts were excellent communicators and very nice. My pictures don't do this spot justice!

We had a blast here! Plenty room to run, plus lots of trees and other obstacles to practice nature agility or other fun doggy antics. Clean, very helpful hosts, easy to have fun here. My dog and I enjoy rougher terrain, and this has that option as well as nice and flatter trails - something everyone can enjoy here.

Had a great time with my dog here! The yard is nice and big with plenty of room for him to run and play ball. They had a poop scoop out, garbage can, and fresh water out along with a lawn chair. Would recommend and come here again!

What a fun yard with lots of little areas to explore! We love playing “find it” with our dog, so all the different sheds and pockets of woods worked really well. And the creek was cool! There is plenty of mowed, grassy areas to play fetch as well. The house is far back enough from the busy road that we weren’t worried about that.

This place is so much fun! They have a beautiful farm and is very secure. I wasn’t worried about my dogs sneaking out or hurting any wildlife :) Sophia was very friendly when we arrived as well. The dogs had so much fun!

Great place. Three pastures. One is completely fenced in with chicken wire. Two have just ranch fence. Super fun for our Dobes! Sophie put out water and there was also a trash can for poop bags. Really nice and clean place. Sophie is also super responsive and nice! We will be back fo sho!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Lots of different interesting things for our Greyhounds to sniff. The dogs enjoyed running the length of the enclosure and then resting (for a long time) in between.

This spot is very peaceful. There are trees at one end that are very nice to sit under, and we saw a pileated woodpecker as well. My dogs enjoyed this spot very much.
