Location

Columbia, South Carolina

Description

Our space is roughly 2 fenced-in acres. 1 acre is a field, and the other is a 1-acre surface area pond. This pond is between 1 - 7 feet deep in some places, so dogs love swimming and running around. The pond is safe for pups to swim in and drink from! We have 10 dogs of our own who LOVE to play in the pond, so we make sure it is as safe as we can. There are no Gators, Snappers, or Blue/Green Algae! We DO have chickens and ducks on the property, but they will be fenced in a separate area during any visits. Please know that we are a very new Sniffspot! We are always working on making things better. Please let us know if you need anything! Parking is on grass, not on concrete. Parking is between the fence and the bush. This spot is not handicap accessible due to the terrain. Please note we DO HAVE A CAMERA in our field for wildlife protection. This camera auto-tracks movement. Feel free to join our Facebook Community: Pond in the Pines Community

Cleanliness

99% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

We do have chickens and ducks. Please keep your pup away from these areas as you can. We have double fencing around them, but we want to keep them safe as well as your pup! Other hazards include a downed grape arbor(no grapes, dead plant), and a water feature. At times, branches and limbs may be down along fence line area. There are now a few ant hills as of 11/10/24 that are active. We will be closing in January for 1 week to treat all of the hills.

Hey there! I'm your host, Rini. I have 10 dogs of my own, and work in the pet field. I know that dog parks can be intimidating and not great for many dogs. When I learned of Sniffspot, I wanted to join and set up a spot that would be perfect for not only single-dog families to enjoy with their reactive pups, but for multi-dog families to have tons of safe space for their pups to play. Animals are my passion and I love to see pups enjoying a safe space!

6 Acres of Off-Leash Adventure — Shaded Trails, Creek Access & Room to Roam! Ready to let your dog run wild (in a good way)? This private 6-acre wooded retreat is a dream come true for adventurous pups and their people! You'll find wide, clear trails winding through beautiful hardwood trees that offer tons of shade-perfect for hot days. Two creek access points run alongside the trails, giving your dog a chance to splash, sniff, and cool off mid-hike. There's plenty of space for well-behaved off-leash dogs to explore, sniff, and play- whether it's a calm walk or a high-energy romp through nature. Conveniently located off I-77, with a quick 1/4-mile drive from the interstate to the entrance. The gravel driveway leads to a parking area with room to turn around any car, SUV, or truck with ease.
