55Beautiful spot - was able to run my little ones and feel safe doing so. Secure fence and really quiet - the sound of the rushing river didn’t hurt either! We’ll be back.Emma H.

55Couldn't ask for a nicer pair of folks making their sizeable fenced in yard available. The property is easy to find and offered a 6ft+ fence all around that kept our curious husky secure. Enjoyed speaking Colleen and Hal, they're great members of the community. Very grateful and will be looking to come backGiovanni S.

55This is one of our favorite SniffSpots. Lots of room run, very little mud even on the rainiest of days, fresh water and big trees. The hosts are wonderful, and it’s very easy to find. My only complaint is that it has become so popular you must book at least a week in advance. Janet H.

55 My dogs are fans of standing in the water while they drink and I’m sure other dogs do it and the water is always sparkling clean when we get there. They run and play and get totally worn out playing Chuck it and with each other. They are out like a light afterwards. It’s a beautiful thing Hal and Colleen keep the grounds beautifully. And we will continue to make the drive to their gorgeous oasis. Ally S.

55This SniffSpot was wonderful!! The yard is a lovely size with lots of room to run, small hills, bushes to sniff, very clean, chuck-its and balls kept in a container with holes for airflow, and mostly level ground. The short grass and easy running surface was perfect for our small chihuahua that hates getting wet and lost in tall vegetation and for our English Cocker that loves to run and play fetch. The area is lovely for people too with a small swing for young children, chairs, a table, and convenient poopbag bucket. The fences and gate are solid and reliable, there’s a few loose planks, but not even our 7lb chihuahua could fit through if she wanted to. Make sure to park directly in the driveway to the left of the property (it has a curved semi-circle driveway). We’ll definitely book again when we’re in the Seattle area! Melisa P.

55This yard was perfect! There was so much space to run and play. The owners of the yard poked their head out to say hi to the pups. They had a poop station with bags and a garbage can. They provided fresh water and a large bowl and several toys. There's even a tug rope attached to a tree that my dogs loved! The fence was secure. We heard a few neighborhood dogs barking but they were pretty distant and didn't bother us. HIGHLY recommend. We can't wait to go back! Kaitlyn W.

55Fantastic location; so much space and my dobermans were able to really stretch their legs! The extra chuck-its and balls were very welcomed. One could literally show up with their poop bags and just enjoy. The distance from parking to the gate is minimal and great for dogs that just need to hurry and get into the yard. We will be back! Thank you, Hal and Colleen! Eva F.
