55Awesome spot!! Secluded but easy to find. My 2 boys had a blast running the fields. The wooded area was definitely their favorite though. So many great smells and trees to pee on! We saw a deer (and they had a good chase, lol). We zig-zagged all around and they really loved it.
The chickens were out and about near the parking area, so I kept the dogs leashed until we were out of sight. Easy peasy.
We had 2 ticks on us (1 on me and 1 on a dog). But that's what flea and tick meds are for! Just be sure to do a check when you get home.
Excellent visit all around! We will be back when the weather cools down and my little dog can join us.Molly M.

55Our dog George really enjoyed exploring the farm! We even got some bird watching in! It was an enjoyable walk around and through the field, plenty of things to smell! When it was time to cool off, George swam in the pond a little. It’s absolutely a great space to be able to use! Edwina W.

55We LOVED this Sniffspot! Lots of trail areas to take our pup and she had a blast. There are also multiple ponds for swimming if you have a dog that loves the water! We did see the goats and chickens but as another reviewer mentioned we just kept our dog on leash until we were past them. We brought a ball and a frisbee for our dog to play with but she was more excited about all the new smells and still got a ton of exercise (we ended up only spending about 45 min there as she's an old lady but she was EXHAUSTED when we got back to the car). I definitely recommend wearing closed toed shoes as due to the recent rain there are some muddy spots and tall grass. Overall we had a great experience and we will definitely be back!Mattie P.

55Great hosts! This was the best Sniffspot we have ever been to. Jeannie and Matthew were very responsive and answered all our questions. It was a wonderful area to run the dogs. There was lots of land and they were exhausted before the hour was even up! Lots of room to run, but our boy's favorite spot was the pond with the dock. They had a blast jumping off into the water and swimming. It was great to have a hose available to rinse them off before we headed home. We will definitely be back! Donna R.

55Our dogs and us had such a great time at your awesome property today! The dogs were crazy-happy to be back in the gator-free water after moving here two years ago! If they could talk, I'm sure they'd be begging us to go back every day! Thanks for sharing your property and we will be back real soon!Carolyn B.

55Such a lovely place to visit! Our dog does not do well with other dogs so it is hard to find a place where he can run and enjoy himself. He loved the many smells lots of areas to visit. Hosts are super accommodating and friendly. Wear long pants and make sure your pupper has proper tick meds… ours came home with several. Very normal in the low country but def need to be cautious. Thank you! We will def be back again. Janis M.

55Absolutely 100% recommend!! The space was awesome. My dog and I will totally be back. My hound really enjoyed all the sniffing and running. Super tidy, friendly hosts, and a perfect distance from my home. I will definitely be back.
Some tips for your visit:
1-if your dog doesn’t have perfect recall at least get a decent length longline so they can really enjoy and explore the trails. My dog has great recall but I still felt way more comfortable with a longline
2- Make sure your pup is on flea and tick prevention. I also highly recommend Wondercide!! A natural spray for you dog and yourself. It’ll keep ticks from even biting.
3- wear long pants and shoes you don’t mind trekking through taller grass with. You want to really have the full experience with your dog! Timm B.

55Our dog had one of the best days of her LIFE! We hit the walking trails and it was GORGEOUS! Then hit the swimming pond and just had the best time ever! Such a gorgeous property! Easy to find, easy directions, nice and secluded. I’m not sure if me or my dog had a better time, as I loved sitting on nature watching my dog have the time of her life swimming! Cannot wait to go back soon!Sarah M.

55My dogs had the best time here! It’s hard to find a place where they can run full out and swim because they don’t get along with other dogs. It was also great for their humans who had a lovely walk with great birdwatching. Very thoughtful hosts who provide not only a welcome sign for the dogs but also a map of the place. We’ll definitely be back. Hilary K.

55Awesome spot for my reactive dog to just enjoy himself! Host even greeted us and showed us how to get in and there was a welcome sign ready for us when we got there 🥹 there was an unfortunate brush fire a couple days beforehand but the host let us know in advance and there was still plenty to explore that was unaffected! Will definitely book again. Jessica T.

55Turbo had a blast running around and the welcome sign and map were very helpful as we explored! Didn’t realize the animals would be so close to the parking location, but it wasn’t a problem- just kept Turbo on his leash until we got further away. They weren’t really visible so if your pup doesn’t have a prey drive you’re probably fine, but he enjoys chasing chickens and could hear them so we made sure to keep our distance! Even though was a brush fire recently, they communicated it and there was still lots to explore! We’ll definitely be back!Maddy S.
