55This spot was SO big! Even bigger than it looks in person. We were about 15 minutes late, and Ryan happened to be outside and mentioned he'd be totally fine with us staying late if we wanted, which was super kind!
My dog had so much fun sniffing the entire yard from top to bottom, and getting some good running it. We're both tired and had fun, thanks for having us!Erika C.

55Had so much fun! Clean, secure space. My daughter had fun on the swing set as well! I had a couple of questions and Ryan was extremely responsive! Much appreciated that. Came from Chicago, will come again and check out Main Street!
Note, there is an incline, my dog is a senior, and had a bit of trouble running, next time we will just let him walk around as much as he wants instead of throwing the ball. Ananda B.

55First time using sniff spot, I have two large dogs and I live in an apartment so finding this app made me so happy. I drove 45 minutes to this location because of how large it was, and even with the cold and rainy weather it was well worth the drive. Both the dogs and I had so much fun, the yard is well kept and we will definitely be back! Corie O.

55Awesome sniff spot! Large area for dogs to explore and super secure! It was a bit hot so the pup mostly tried to hide in the shade, but definitely coming back when it's cooler so my lazy drama king can run around a bit!Tammy C.

55Great space! The dogs had a blast and we will definitely be back. Ryan is great at responding to messages and does an excellent job of maintaining the property-short grass, little to no poop in the yard, the fence is in new condition and the gates function easily. The neighbor dogs are just social enough to run the fence but did not react when my dog-selective dog barked at them. It was really nice to have such a large area for them to run around safely in.

55Great space - I rented it for 3 hours to give myself some buffer room for traffic (definitely needed it driving from Chicago) and the owner was there and helpful and friendly. The space was super clean. There were chairs out and trees for shade. It was amazing for a fairly active dog who is stressed in the city.
The neighbors did have a dog out, but the dog was very calm and left when my dog was barking at him so it wasn't a big problem. My dog is super rude and fearful so it was good that it was a very polite dog and didn't react at all.
It would be nice for there to be a trashcan but I also didn't look very hard! Julia Z.

55Hands down the nicest SniffSpot I’ve been to! Lots of room for the pups to run and have a good time. Nice shade to hang out in when it gets hot, too. Very good signage that makes it clear where to enter and a sign near the intersection that makes it easy to locate. Olivia V.

55Awesome location! We will be back! The dog in the next door yard came out and the dogs ran laps up and down the fence. Certainly going home with sleepy puppies!! Location is super well marked and the fencing felt super safe. Elizabeth L.

55Amazing wide open space in the suburbs to let my reactive pup run around off-leash. Even on a hot sunny day, there was a nice amount of shade to sit in and my pup loved walking through the pine tree canopies. Alyssa G.
