55Def worth the money! So if you are on the fence about reserving this spot, I am telling you… do it! And reserve the creek!! I promise it is worth every penny. Me and my sister and the 4 puppies loved it! And will come back!
Also pay attention to directions given by host. Me and my sister did not (we both just followed gps in the car) and definitely ended up in an extremely bumpy dirt road to arrive. Our bad. There is a gate that we needed to turn into and it was a whole lot easier to go through that route. Brigette B.

55This time, I added the creek hike and it was amazing. The area is set up with chairs and a picnic table. The weather was perfect and the dogs and humans both enjoyed splashing in the stream. My almost twelve year old Aussie girl had a ball sniffing everywhere and snorting through the leaves. Oh, and the lemonade is to die for. We can't wait to go back! Tammy B.

55Alma was super quick at responding! She provides detailed directions so don’t follow your GPS all the way! It’s fully enclosed so I felt very comfortable letting my dog off leash. There are some steep inclines so be aware of that. The creek was awesome and the dogs had SO MUCH FUN! I highly recommend bringing your pup here for a visit. Jessica L.

55This spot was a dream! We drove all the way from LA and it was worth the trek. We were late coming in and the hosts graciously gifted us extra time to make up for it. They were also super communicative and gave very clear photo instructions on how to access the property and trails.
We added the stream hike and definitely recommend it. Next time I think I’ll pick some tangerines too.

55This place is heaven on earth! Our dog had such a great time running around off leash, we got to work on recall training and it felt nice knowing we wouldn’t bump into people or other dogs on the trail. And the creek was beautiful. This was our first Sniffspot experience, we had to drive two hours but it was so worth it, the directions given to us by the hosts were also very easy to understand, we had no trouble finding our way there. We will definitely be coming here often. Thank you so much David and Alma!Carmen O.

55Excellent communication! Alma was great in sending information before arrival and checking in on us that everything was going great. The creek was wonderful and our pups jumped right in the water. Great spot to allow hiking and off-leash play without having to worry about other dogs. Definitely plan to visit again in the future and will recommend to friends! :) Carina A.

55I've been to Alma & David's spot multiple times with my reactive dog, but this was the first time I went down to the creek and I LOVED it! It's such a relaxing area, large enough that Kono could explore while I sat in the lounge chair and relaxed, but not so large that I worried about him getting swept away :D We'll be back for the creek hike for sure!Michelle C.

55Milhouse celebrated his 7th birthday here and he had a blast. We usually do a hike for his bday but he’s reactive to dogs and has gotten attacked often (he just has that punchable face). It was nice for me to not have to be on alert knowing we’d have the space to myself. Milhouse lived his best life. First time off leash without concern. Thank y’all.

55This place was Incredible- we were lucky to be able to experience it! We brought our four dogs and to see them be able to run around and sniff everything off leash (while also getting to practice their recall) was so amazing.
And 10/10 recommend adding the stream. Our pups loved it. We will be back and plan to bring a bag lunch with us next time!
One small note- the walk/hike down to the stream is definitely steep! So if you have hiking poles, bring them. We managed fine without them and so did my parents who came with us but they would’ve made our lives easier for sure!Colleen M.

The stream hike is a must if your dog loves water. We ended up spending all our time by the stream while my dog jumped around and explored the water and surrounding area.Carlos V.
