55We really enjoyed our visit! We were initially greeted by a pig and piglet, but they headed towards their pen before the dogs got out of the vehicles and that was the last we saw of them. We walked down the driveway and started out in the large ring to the left so the dogs could run around a bit before we walked the property. Heads up, since it is horse fencing, a dog who thinks the grass is always greener on the other side can duck under and "escape", so be prepared. We then headed down towards the bamboo forest and pond. The horses were not in the field, but again, if they are, it would be easy for an off-leash dog to go under the fence and get in with them so be careful if you have a dog who is a "slow listener." Both of my dogs got a quick swim in and would have been happy if we had stayed there the rest of the time. (The third dog we had with us is not a swimmer.) The pond does have some green on top, but at this time of year it's certainly nothing to worry about. One of my dogs found the muddy end of the pond, which made him quite happy until he had to have a bath once we got home. ;-P After the pond, we headed down the back field but ran out of time to make it all the way to the trails and stream. It's amazing how quickly two hours passes when your dogs are having fun! We'll start out in that direction the next time. Thank you so much for letting us spend time on your farm! We'll definitely be back!
55We have been here before in the Fall but it's even better in the winter when the grasses are shorter! Got see the pigs and baby piglet out running around❤️ Great property to hike on with lots of open space! Easy to find also. Very friendly horses that we always enjoying seeing too. We will be back again!
55Really big open space where we could hike and my dog could dog to her hearts content! Will definitely be back. I did wish I had messaged the host in advance for a bit more information on the property. It’s so large that it’s a bit tricky to figure out where to go/what the boundaries are. Also, as the listing says, this is a working farm! We were greeted by two cute pigs wandering around when we arrived.
55Penny and I had an amazing time! Amanda was very responsive and the farm was everything pictured and more! We will definitely make this spot a regular! There’s so much more to explore when we visit again! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your space!
55This was our first time at this spot and the host was beyond accommodating! We extended our 1.5 hour stay not once but TWICE! My field golden retriever had so much fun running free in the back fields and exploring other areas of the property. Believe it or not we wish we could have stayed even longer! So much many cute farm animal that all minded their own business as we played around them!
55First Sniffspot visit and it was fantastic. The property is huge and very secluded. There's a giant field with rolling hills bordered by forest with trails through the woods along a stream at the bottom. My dog loved the freedom of being off-leash and we were able to do some recall training while enjoying a nice hike. We will be back as there is much more to explore. Definitely recommend!
55W O W! This is an incredible place. My dog and I basically enjoyed a private hike. She had an amazing time and it made me so happy to see her run free. She’s dog reactive and I’m so grateful we got to experience this stress free adventure together. I booked an hour and a half and could have stayed much longer. We will definitely be back!
55We’ll be back! So much to explore. Would have loved to meet the host to get an idea of where everything is. My dogs can’t be trusted off leash. I didn’t notice an area that was fenced in without gaps so we walked and explored on leash. I love trails so that’s what caught my eye about this spot. With 80 acres there may be even more trails and area to walk through. Beautiful farm! Thank you!
55Great place for the dogs!
55This was the PERFECT place to exercise my dogs and calm my own brain. Gorgeous property, so much space to roam, and not another person or dog in sight.

Relaxing oasis in Alexandria

After living in a townhome in Old Town for 20 years with no yard or outdoor space, I decided to buy a new house. My dogs only exercise was walking on a leash or finding empty dog parks at strange hours. Although my dogs were well-behaved, I observed a lot of negative behavior from pets and owners in city dog parks and wasn’t comfortable letting my dogs mingle there. When I bought this house a couple years ago, I knew I wanted to create an oasis for my pets. My landscape architect clearcut 75 feet back into the woods, installed retaining walls to help level the steep slope on the side yard and planted lots of grass to create the perfect backyard. The property is on almost an acre, so the back of the fence is very private with a wooded area. Occasionally, you can see deer on their way to the creek and hear fox behind the fence, although that is usually after 11pm. There is a lot of privacy and nature to enjoy from the patio.The yard is bright and sunny in the morning and shady after 2 or so. Since my yard brings so much joy to my dogs, when my friend told me about Sniffspot, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to share this dog friendly space with the community. There is always ample street parking right in front of my house.  The 6 foot fence is reinforced with chicken wire to keep small dogs in and other animals out. The gentle slope is perfect for fetch to wear out high energy dogs faster. Lots of areas to sniff and explore. The entire yard is dog friendly with no pesticides or toxic plants. Water hose, dog bowl, toys, dog bags and trash can are provided. This yard was created for my dogs so all furniture is pet friendly and the dogs go wherever they want. I do try to keep them out of the fenced part of the garden (where the tacky yard art lives 😂) due to beer traps for the slugs but I don’t freak out when they jump the mini-fence. I don’t want any guest to feel any stress while visiting. Dogs will be dogs and normal dog behavior is expected. There is a fan next to the gazebo for warm days. The fan is plugged into a multi-outlet extension cord and you’re welcome to use both! If you’re into grounding, I never wear shoes when I’m in my yard. The yard is probably more than a quarter of an acre. The land that goes with my house is 1 acre. However, I don’t know how to measure the inside fence and I’d rather under promise and overdeliver. The entrance from the street is double gated, like a dog park, to prevent accidental escapes. Enjoy the gazebo and patio with dog beds for relaxing and shade. Surrounded by trees, the birds and fountain offer the perfect oasis to get away from high stress city living. Wednesday late mornings and early afternoons are blocked off for my lawn mowing company. Monday mornings, my dog poop pickup company services my yard. On Mondays, they usually come in the morning, but I don’t have a specific time. If you have a people aggressive dog, you may want to avoid this time since I don’t know when they will actually show up. I do pick up daily but have the service for anything missed as it’s a large yard with 3 dogs to track. If interested in hosting a party, I am open to a group of people and more dogs than the limit states. Send a chat to discuss details.
