A lovely plot of land that is well-enclosed! There was a bowl of fresh water out for my pup when we arrived, and a nice hammock to set a leash or set of keys on. Instructions for finding the location were very clear.

While driving cross-country, I picked this SniffSpot because it was on the way. And I am so glad I did! Cindy was unbelievably kind, and even let her sweet pup play with mine. Her yard is beautiful, and full to the brim with doggie toys. She provided Lysol and cleaning products just in case, and when my pup rolled in the mud she even brought out doggie shampoo so I could give him a quick bath. We can’t wait to visit again on our way back. Cindy, you and your husband are just so sweet and you made my day - thank you so much!!!

Nice setting, tennis balls, frisbees and water set out for us. Our three dogs loved having two hilly acres to run around in! Very well kept.

We love this place and go every weekend. It’s a great space to run around and play. We had so much fun playing in the snow. The hosts leave out water and toys, and they have two doggie bag stations. The fence is secure and the area is quiet.

I'm really glad to have found this little park. I've been looking for a place to take my boy for months. There was plenty of space for him to run and they even provided a few toys. We had a blast. This place is just what he needs. We will be back for sure.

Super spacious and open park. My dogs loved doing zoomies and playing fetch. Fence seemed secure and we didn’t see any other people or dogs which is a win

So happy I found this spot! I won’t take my dogs to a public dog park, so finding this place was like finding a needle in a haystack. Will definitely be back. It’s secured entirely around the parameter, they provide toys, poop bags, and fresh water. 10/10

We really enjoyed the dog park. It was quiet, clean and they have water bowls/toys. Can’t wait to go back! Close enough to Krieg’s to pup cups on the way once they open for the year.

Highly recommend! Great place for the pups to run fenced yet free. Nice seating and view while they play.

Daniel E.

Was completely perfect to get my new puppy out and get rid of some energy. She has anxiety around other dogs so going to a dog park wasn’t really an option. Struggled to find a way for her to let loose and run until we came across this spot! Absolutely will be back!! Thank you!!

Mikayla L.

Lovely property! My dog had a wonderful time running around, playing frisbee, and sniffing everything. We will be back!

Amazing place! It was great to let our dogs run around and get tons of energy out. Very accommodating and would recommend to all.

Chris M.

April 2022

Our first time using SniffSpot and we absolutely loved this spot. Clean, lots of space, and the hosts provided toys, snacks, and water. The bottom of the area was still a little wet from some rain the previous days but there was plenty of other space for our pup to run around so this wasn’t a major issue. Will definitely be back!

MUST VISIT!!! The park was so clean and just beautiful. Great seating all over the property. The owners even left us fresh water and a toy to play with. We will be back- thank you!

We visited for the first time today with our 2 dogs & it was perfect!! Be prepared for mud though! There is a hose so you can rinse your pups off before you leave. there is plenty of toys & space for the dogs to have a great time. Will definitely be visiting again.

Stopped for an hour session while up from Columbus. Really great open space with nice amenities: water, cleanup bags, trash bins and a hose. My dog loved it and can’t wait to come back next time we’re in town for a visit.

What a nice clean environment for Henry! This was my first time and I forgot to bring his favorite toy - I was happy toys, water and clean up bags were provided as stated in the confirmation email. Thank you!!
