55Absolutely beautiful property! Peaceful, well-kept, and perfect for both relaxing and enjoying nature. My dog had the best time running freely, swimming, and just soaking up the calm surroundings. It was such a joy to watch. Already looking forward to our next visit!Lindsay W.

55Great area for our dogs to roam and run off leash. Our Lucy loved splashing around in the pond, while Blue enjoyed exploring the property. We will definitely be reserving this spot again.Tina S.

55Our first visit to The Acres was a fabulous experience! Our dog had an absolute blast and was so tired when we left that she slept for the entire 2-hour car trip home. Will definitely be back next time we are in the area. Kimberly F.

55The host was extremely kind, welcoming, and helpful. Instructiins were clear. My dog had an amazing time and I hope to return soon. Very impressed, and the pond was absolutely beautiful. I love going to sniffspots where I can tell the host absolutely loves their dogs. My dog experienced such joy at this sniffspot.Linnae O.

55We’ve been here a bunch of times and it’s always great. There’s more land now than the first time we came and my dog loved it. He ran the perimeter several times and swam in the pond. He never gets to run that much. He had a great time. The area was clean with very clear signage. We’ll definitely be back.Allison F.

55Reese and I had a great time at this peaceful oasis! Reese had a great time swimming and so much space to run! We took advantage of the dog bath this time. After a few trips here and meeting Kathy, I felt comfortable going inside to use the dog bath. She had music playing and the walk in tub was clean. I brought her shampoo and she provided the towels. She also provided a peanut butter lick mat to place on the tub wall to help make Reese more comfortable during her bath. Thank you for a great experience!! Dawn F.

55Great Sniffspot. Loved how it was entirely fenced in. It was very opened with lots of running space. The creek was hands down my dogs favorite part. The pond was also a huge hit. The host Kathy was very friendly and after explaining the rules and taking us to the Sniffspot she allowed us to enjoy the time alone. The bath area was also very nice! A self service dog grooming tub, in an air conditioned room. 10/10 recommend!! Courtney W.

55Gorgeous property with a huge, clean pond, mowed fields for running and fun paths to explore—and a pristine porta pot as a bonus! My dogs had a ton of fun. We’ll definitely be back. Janelle G.

55Very large property at The Pond. Heavy rain cut our visit in half but this is more like your own private, fully fenced farm property for your visit. Benches, huge yard to play in, and several gradual pond entrances where our Jack Russell could stand in-between swimming out to retrieve his ball. My daughter brought her two goldens as well. Just a shame that rain cut our 1.5 slot to about 45 minutes. Host very responsive and friendly. Clean and safe. Dave A.

55this is an 100/10 sniffspot!! the area itself was well up kept, clean, & had some really cool features like mini paths within the fields & of course the pond. Kathy was such a pleasure, couldn’t of been a more amazing host. she greeted us happily even though it was 6:30am & was kind enough to bring treats & stay to train with & help my girl with her first time in the grooming bath. couldn’t recommend this spot & host more!

55We had a fantastic experience! Kathy was incredibly kind and helpful—super responsive to messages and even made sure to show us exactly where to enter. The space itself was amazing, with tons of room for my dog to run and explore. The pond was definitely the highlight—my dog had the best time swimming! It was also so nice to be able to bathe her after the swimming. Highly recommend!

55First visit with our new dog. He, of course, loved The Acres. He could not believe the freedom he had to run and we got to practice recalls from a good distance. It was a perfect hour.Sherry R.

55The property is perfect and ideal whether your pups like to swim or run on the entire fenced in property. Kathy, the owner was there to greet us and explain where everything is located. We will definitely be back! Karen M.

55This is a beautiful space. Very well marked. Huge, open spaces as well as a maze of little trails for the pups to run. My dogs love sitting in the creek under the bridge or lying in the shallow part of the pond. Highly recommend this SniffSpot. Absolutely worth the drive.Miranda B.

FAQ About Holtwood Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 5% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Holtwood area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 479 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 807 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
