55Love this sniff spot, very large area. The parking spot is easy, u shaped. Just pull in and your facing exit to the road. Parking entrance gate is close by. This spot has places to sit, undercover area for those rainy days. Water bowls and a hose to water your thirsty dogs. My dogs love to run and play. Fence is secure, extra reinforcements are more recent. Great spot no mud. We love coming hereEllen R.

55I’ve found out new close-to-home favorite Sniff Spot! A beautiful property and fantastic owner. Walked me through the large private wooded yard and had a great space for the adults to sit under a gazebo while the hounds explored. Lots of toys, water, bags, etc. and more than enough room for our Lone Wolf Pack of 3 to explore and keep entertained. They slept like logs on the way home and we all had a blast. We’ll definitely be back on a regular basis. So happy we found this spot. Highly recommended.Michael S.

55The gate to enter was a little awkward. It didn't actually latch but the wood was so wet that it pushed shut really tight against the fence posts.
Beautiful spot though. Huge!! The dogs had so much space to zoom. Clean and well managed. Definitely recommend. Hanna M.
