55What a wonderful experience for our dogs! This location is amazing - so much to do and smell for the pups and plenty of fresh water for them as well. We appreciate all the seating throughout the large space. We loved it but most importantly, Tom Haverford and Sullivan loved it even more and we'll be back. Great communication from the host!Jill S.

55Our old man Winston ran his little heart out today! Swayze enjoyed the agility equipment, kiddie pools and watching the horses. It was a great spot to let them explore while we are camping in the area. Candice P.

55We brought our three dogs to Serenity Acres, and they absolutely loved it! The space is exactly as advertised — a beautiful, fully fenced 3-acre area with plenty of room to run, play, and explore. The agility equipment and parkour obstacles were a big hit, and there were plenty of dog toys available to keep everyone entertained.
The property is well-maintained, with fresh drinking water for the dogs and shaded areas to cool off. Our crew especially loved the kiddie pools for splashing around after a good game of fetch.
We did see and hear other animals occasionally, just like the listing mentions, but it wasn’t disruptive at all. The private entry made it easy to relax knowing we had the space all to ourselves.
Christine is a wonderful host, and it’s clear she cares about keeping this spot clean, safe, and fun. For $12 an hour per dog, it’s an amazing deal for the quality of the space and the peace of mind you get.
We’ll definitely be back — our pups give it five paws up!Casey R.

55I highly recommend this place! It’s easy to find, and the property itself is beautiful. There’s tons of space for your dog to run and explore, plus plenty of toys available if you don’t bring your own. There are even two kiddie pools, which is perfect if your dog enjoys water as much as mine does. Grace I.

55The host was so kind and super accommodating, the Sniffspot was clean, and full of fun things for my doggie and her friends to enjoy. It also is stocked with all your doggy needs like a water hose and bags, I’m almost sure I saw treats too! Paris B.

55Now that I’m officially cleared for royal activity, I had a play date with Sir Lucifer—and what better setting than Serenity Acres, a local SniffSpot fit for royalty! 👑
We ran full zoomies, played chase, admired the majestic horses next door, and I even tried out my agility skills (I crushed it, obviously). There were so many things to sniff, explore, and climb on—truly a dream for any curious pup.
From wide open fields to shady trees and fun terrain, this place gets a four out of four paw review from me. 🐾🐾
I can’t wait to return for another royal romp!

55What a great spot! I have 3 dogs ranging from 5lbs to 75lbs and all of them are having a great time. Plenty of clean toys, long and short grass for the tiny one to hunt grasshoppers, and kiddie pools for the big guy to lay in. I’m looking forward to them taking some long naps when we get home today.

FAQ About Nicholasville 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. 21% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Nicholasville 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 84 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 172 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.
