55To say this Spot was amazing is an understatement! It was easy to find and the hosts were incredibly friendly and kind. The area itself was so much fun! Plenty of room for exploring and sniffing and perfect for games of fetch - not many, if any holes to worry about tripping in. We will absolutely be visiting again.Amber M.

55My dog loves water and running so he loved this place! Maybe it was the weather or time of year but the area with the stream going to the pond was marshy enough that im glad I didn't wear normal shoes. My bean boots worked so it wasn't THAT bad.
I also appreciated the hose at the entrance so that my dog didn't have to bring the mud into the car. There were some chickens and horses but we didn't see other dogs and, more importantly, we didn't see any farm cats.
We both had a great time! Megan S.

55The hosts were beyond kind and helpful, and even offered to help hose down my dog afterwards as he was covered in mud. He thought it was the best time ever! Lots of room to run. We went right after rain so there was mud, but that is expected in the PNW!Mic F.

55The pups had an absolute blast chasing each other, finding sticks and playing keep away. Dog's are filthy and tired, us humans covered in their mud spatter. Hosts were gracious and welcoming, maybe next time Bella can play too. Of course the youngest pup was super in to the delicacy of horse manure :/ We will definitely be back ! Dena D.

55Great spot to let your dog stretch their legs! Glad I wore my hiking boots - there is horse poop, mud, and the grassy area had a lot of water. Fully fenced, no worries my 75lb dog would get out - although the owners dog (maybe 15 lbs?) was small enough to go through the entrance gate. He was very friendly and playful - definitely lives a dog's dream life. There was standing water your dog could drink from but looked like it needed to be switched out. They had a bucket next to it with clean water but of course my dog wants to go for the larger bin 🤦♀️. Overall great experience and can't wait to come back! Liz L.

55Beautiful land, welcoming host and fully fenced! My dog really enjoyed the small water feature for splashing around, gathering sticks from below the big trees, and watching the horse from across the fence. We will be back!Allison A.

55This was our first time trying a sniffspot. Rick was a great host and all around super friendly. He welcomed us and showed us his fully fenced super large yard. There’s lots of room to run. The horses are chill with dogs. You might get a bit mucky in the winter, but it’s part of the fun. There are some big logs to climb on and trees to sniff aroundEliza F.

55This was a great Sniff Spot. My 2 year old lab had a blast and was so tired after exploring and chasing the ball. My 3 year old son also loved exploring the trees, seeing chickens and the horses. He did play in some mud which I welcome and we just cleaned up when we got home. The owners dog came by to say hello and was a complete sweetie!
It was wet (which is to be expected in the NW in winter) so I suggest bringing a towel or something to pat down your dog after.
We will certainly be going back! tiffany w.

55Beautiful large space great for fetch! The bottom half was pretty muddy from the rain we have had recently, but that’s to be expected and my dog enjoys playing in the mud. It also was more wet than actual mud. The trees and logs act as fun obstacle courses and they have a bucket of water and bucket for dog waste bags. Overall a great place and we will be back!

55What a great sniffspot. Nick gave us a tour for our first visit. While it rains, boots are recommended. The dogs had a blast. The mud was great fun. The horse poop was not to their taste today so they played in the very muddy field, on the logs, and chasing Wilson (the resident very busted volleyball). The horse that was out (Max?) was so cute and friendly and came to the fence for pets. Totally coming back... With boots LOLInes D.

55We always have a great time at Rick's place. Bud gets to run, I get to pet a horse. Life is good. Bring towels - the field is super muddy with all the rain we've had lately. Still a 5 star experience, every time!Jennifer G.

55We had a wonderful time! The dogs loved exploring all the new smells and getting to run through the trees, grass, mud — it was all good. The property was nice and clean. We will definitely be back. Great place for off leash running!Catherine K.

55This place is a dogs dream. There's trees, open field, even a little pond after it rains. My dog was so happy and is sleeping so soundly now. Make sure you bring heavy boots as it gets muddy.Sean S.

55The area is fantastically fenced, with beautiful, soaring evergreens. My pups were in heaven - happy as could be. There were even a couple lawn chairs and fresh water.
The owner greeted us and was very friendly and accommodating.
We’ll definitely be back! Apollo and Mario thank you Rick! Patti S.

55My sighthound loved this spot. He had a blast sprinting through the lower grassy field which was covered with puddles from all the rain (my dog loves water so he had fun with that). Tons to sniff and he got to look at a horse which was in the barn. Easy to find and the fence is secure, so no need to worry about an escape that way. Isaak Z.

55Amazing time as always with friendly welcoming hosts! The dogs had a blast running, playing fetch with some balls they found, checking the horses out, and getting muddy & soaked to the bone, hahaha! Today there was a lot of chunks of balls, I poop-bagged a few for the garbage that were small enough to be possible choking/intestinal blockage hazards, just in case. Melisa P.
