55I'm new to Sniffspot and my first couple experiences at other places were not great ones so I was nervous and skeptical coming into this one. But Pibble Hill was perfect! Very well-maintained, fencing as described and a beautiful view. We will be frequent flyers at this one for sure. My dog loved running the hill, sniffing the perimeter and chasing squirrels. She got tired and found a nice spot on the hill to perch and watch the farm animals in the distance while chewing on a stick. This place was clean, quiet and the directions for parking and getting here were accurate. Hannah B.

55This is a well maintained property. The farm animals are fun to watch from behind the fenced area. The property does have a steep grade but is worth the hike to enjoy beautiful views from the top. Amy H.

55Pibble Hill is a wonderful Spot in a scenic, rural, and safe setting. The Spot is a mix of open space with some mature trees in various parts of the large fenced-in area, which will be great for shade this summer! The owner is dog savvy and kind. Full disclosure, I knew her before my visit to her Spot today, although I had not seen her in a few years. I do feel I can vouch for her that she knows what she is doing when it comes to dogs and their needs! Will for sure return!Meredith A.

55They LOVED it! Huge hill for them to run up and down on either side, nice grassy area in the middle for fetch, two seating areas for humans, and clearly marked parking. Will definitely recommend. Fully fenced as described and the rambunctious one did not find any escape routes. We had a great time! Stephen W.

55Great spot to let our doggos roam. The hill is great exercise for all, but not too steep, lower corner is hidden from view if on the hill but fencing is secure all around.Michael G.

55We had a great time sniffing and exploring the space and obstacles within it. Not our first time here and won’t be our last! Trish was also thoughtful enough to reach out to offer to change our reservation time to try to avoid expected rain. So appreciated!Stephanie F.

55This was a great location! We had no issues with space for parking (we had four cars!) though the spot only has one designated guest parking spot (and one owner parking) so I would recommend carpooling OR communicating with the owner ahead of time out of respect. But like I said, no issues with space - we just lined up in the driveway near the entrance gate :) But it was a great spot with a great view!Noah Y.

FAQ About Mars Hill 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.
