55This was our first Sniffspot! Great property, my dog and I spent our time walking the perimeter (marked my neighbors’ fences). It took us, strolling, about 40 minutes to walk all along the outer property line. Then we used the rest of the time to play fetch. My guy was so beat from all the sniffing and running. So happy we came! Trisha K.

55Beautiful wooded back yard. Deer alert, we saw around 15 deer as soon as we headed out! Dogs had a great time jumping logs and running in the stream. Marjorie R.

55Fabulous sniffspot! We visited with my two dogs and two preschoolers, it was clean and safe, beautiful everywhere, so picturesque and the dogs and kids loved exploring the woods. Thank you so much for sharing this spot, it’s the kind of place we have been missing since relocating here from the PNW. Lee N.

55This spot is beautiful and so much space for my pup to run and explore. He loved running up and down the steep hill in back. It is in an easy to find location and close to Great Falls NP, we got to do some hiking on the way back home. What a fun day! Thanks again! Nancy M.

55If you've got dogs with good recall and want a place to really let them let loose off leash, this is absolutely the spot for you. The hill it's set on is steep if you're looking to pick your way down to the creek so definitely bring appropriate shoes. We saw deer, squirrels, and plenty of birds so if your dog has high prey drive and can't be called off a wayward critter, beware. Our dogs were absolutely mistified and even got to enjoy seeing some horses. The host was an absolute peach as well and was willing to let us stay a bit longer since we got stuck in that good old DC traffic. All in all, we loved this Sniffspot and it was a great precursor to visiting the falls. Ariona P.

55The area is so large ! It’s perfect to bring your dogs ! I came here with a friend and we had three dogs total and it was perfect for them to run around and get dirty ! There was also a few deer in the area we had no trouble with them but just something to look out for ! Amanda S.

55Gorgeous. A world of smells with woods, brush, logs, stumps, and a long stretch of creek to explore. Some grassy patches, too! A steep hill in spots. In a word, heaven. Host communicates and maintains property beautifully. Thank you! GPS wasn’t perfect, so I should have allowed a few extra minutes to make correct turns when finding the location. Saw several horses on the way in and out.Tia M.

55Nice spot. The instructions are clear, it’s not fenced but I think most neighborhoods have fence. It’s not easy to get lost or cross the boundaries. I went after rains so it’s kind of muddy and slippery. My dog had a really good and muddy day time. Remember to bring bug sprays and wear hiking boots.Reese C.

55Sarah was so lovely and her wooded area is great! We have three dogs and walking all three on public trails is usually out of the question. This private area allowed me to bring all three and they had a blast! I am so grateful to have found this spot!Lisette R.

55Beautiful, spacious, and secluded property. Has lots of shade which was nice in the warmer weather. The dogs loved being able to run around freely with no concern for running into other people or dogs (although we did see a deer)! We will definitely be back.Heather B.

55This spot is so fun! The host gives super clear directions and it’s so nice to have such a peaceful slice of the woods without having to worry about running into off leash dogs! My dog and I meandered around the property for an hour and he was having a blast! So much space for sniffing, digging and exploring. This is an absolute gem and I cant wait to come back! Caroline A.

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. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.
