55Wow, this place really is a treat for dogs (and humans). Grace is such a gracious and welcoming host. The Sniff Spot area is well suited for exploring and enjoying nature without the worry of encountering others or your dogs getting lost while off leash. The property is very well maintained with wooded trails. As others suggest, good footwear is recommended. My dogs had so much fun running up the hills and adventuring on this property. There are picnic tables and an outhouse which makes it especially appealing if you are driving a distance to get there and want to be able to enjoy the property for a few hours. Definitely recommend more than one hour to truly explore and enjoy the visit. We can't wait to return!Jill C.

55Dog hadn't been off-leash for a couple of weeks, and he went nutso today in the mini-forest. So many zoomies that he was almost too tired to play in the creek on the way to the car. Almost.Barbara L.

55Loved it!! Two hours of wandering around in the woods, dogs up and down hills and in the creek. Great picnic spot with tables, port-o-potty and shade:). Grace is delightful!! We will be back. Well worth the trek from Seattle. Goats and horses are fenced in and no access to Sniffspot area.Erica W.

55Grace was very friendly and met us outside to show us where to go. The property was great - rustic, lots of places for my 2 beagles (and dachshund mix) to sniff to their hearts content. They have never had freedom to safely explore and follow their nose for their natural instinct, so having somewhere big and open with tons of places to explore while being safely in a fence was so nice. Its just the stimulation their brains needed and we will definitely be back! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful land!Marissa C.

55This was our 2nd time here and we had a fun day. The dogs went even further back into the forest this time but with the fence all around we didn't have to worry. Don't forget to wear food shoes because there is definitely a lot of space to explore. Can't wait to come back! Nicholas Z.

55A beautiful and peaceful spot! We loved strolling around exploring the trails and seeing our newly adopted dog run safely off leash and try out wading in the creek. She really enjoyed the freedom and so did we, knowing we had the place to ourselves. There were lots of places to sit for a picnic and even an outhouse. We'll stay longer next time!Sara B.

55Our dogs had a blast! It is a great hilly property with lots to explore. Paths crisscross the wooded acreage. Plenty of shade and sunny spots, plus benches for the humans to rest at. The dogs loved the creek too. I’m glad we brought a towel. We did occasionally hear a dog barking way in the distance, but since the dogs couldn’t see anything, there was no reactivity. The terrain could be considered a bit challenging if you aren’t wearing the right shoes, but there are paths to take that are easier to navigate. We will be back!Alison B.

55This was one of the best Sniffspots I've been to! What a treat! Grace was such a kind and welcoming host and her land is like a private woodland oasis. You could spend all day here, so I'd recommend booking more than an hour to really enjoy it. Plenty of spots to sit and so many trails to explore we were finding new side trails to wander throughout the whole visit. Definitely take the advice to wear hiking shoes or similar as it's rocky and woodsy - there's also some steep sections where a good tread helps. But my pups had an absolute BLAST - they normally get tired / bored after about an hour, but they were still going strong when it was time to go home. The creek is perfect for a little dip if it's hot and there's plenty of open areas for fetching or chasing too. The only caution I would say is you may encounter a bit of livestock poo, so if your pup likes to roll in such disgusting delights (like mine...), come prepared lol. Can't recommend Grace's place highly enough though - we will definitely be making the long drive from West Seattle again. :) Kate S.

55Take the dog/kids, pack a lunch, and enjoy your own private wooded glade. This is a great place - meadow, creek, woods, benches in shade or sun, she-shed and matching he-shed, friendly goats in their pasture, picnic tables, GREAT host. We were there on a hot day and the forest made the temperature perfect. Wear sturdy shoes for the trails. This place is a gem. Fully meshed fencing all around the 9 acres so your dog can't wander off readily. Thank you Grace!Susan A.

55Henry R. Dog, Sunshine, and Lily (the dogs) had such a wonderful time frolicking in the creek and running around the woods. The humans had a great time, too. Our hostess, Grace, welcomed us in person and also with a sweet sign. The horse and goats (fenced in away from the Sniffspot) were adorable. What a lovely place to spend a couple of hours with family and woofs! We only booked an hour, but the next time we will bring a picnic lunch and stay for two. Definately worth a bit of a drive to get there.Courtney S.

55This was our first Sniffspot adventure and it was amazing! Grace is so welcoming! We had my family and our dog as well as my step-daughter's family and their two dogs. I think the kids loved it as much as the pups! Perfect for some shade, exploring, cooling off in the creek, and a picnic.Jennie H.

55Our two dogs and us had the most amazing time today at the mini forest hike. Grace was there to greet us and she walked us to the spot. She was very friendly and did not say anything about the fact that we were a few minutes early :) The mini-forest was beautiful, serene, and lots of wonderful sniffing for the pups! It was almost like a doggie disneyland where our dogs were sniffing non-stop for the first 30 minutes and running around. Since the entire area was fenced, we were also relaxed when they ran around and were out of our sight for a few minutes. There are lots of mini-trails, benches to sit down, and enjoy the quiet and the birdsong! We have some tired and happy pups at home now ! We will definitely be back! Thank you Grace.Janani T.

55Grace was so friendly and kind! Her property was so fun to explore. Our pup loved running through all the forested areas - though he might have been a little too interested in the goats & horse in the enclosure before the forested area. Overall, great spot & would return!Diana S.

55This was the best time!! Grace was so kind and accommodating for our family to meet up - 5 dogs total. Absolutely beautiful, peaceful property and our dogs didn’t stop running/exploring. They loved playing in the water too! We humans got a little workout climbing up the hillside and through the forest. Great to take a break at the campsite seating while the dogs explored around us. Definitely recommend and we’ll be back for sure! Michelle C.

FAQ about our Lake Country dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
