55Big open field. My dog is reactive so we stayed away from the house and walked around on a long lead and got good sniffs in. Nice views too! For reactive pup owners there was a dog and people but they were way far off, could barely hear them. The other side is just wide open farmland. Host responded to messages immediately and helped with providing more details.Maria B.

55When I arrived, I turned on to the dirt road as directed and then drove about halfway back on the lot to park which was a good distance from the far fence line, the house, and the road (which is behind a small row of trees). This place is great for my dogs because they love to retrieve. The field is so large that even with a ball chucker and a good arm the balls still did not come close to the boundaries. They were tired by the end of our time. We will be back. Joan D.

55It was great being able to walk in the woods with our reactive dog. Since he is fearful and rarely in the woods we kept him on a 25' long line. (at one point he super wanted to full on run - maybe one day) We passed the fenced sweet little goats, another first for Moses. The trails are wide and accessible. Easy parking. Host has great communication. We will be back no doubt. Thanks!!!Maria B.

55What a wonderful spot! The space is easy to find with easy parking. The trail is very well labeled and easy to follow. Mary Lou left out some water, treats and toys, so my dog and I explored the trails (which we both loved so much), and then played in the little field by the parking area. It is unfenced so I put on my dog’s long lead just in case he tried to run off, but the property set a little way back from the, what seemed like, quiet neighborhood road. We will definitely be back!

The trails are well marked and easy to find with the host’s instructions and signs. I would recommend decent shoes though - definitely treat it as if you’re going for a hike, not just a backyard stroll! So much space and your pup will leave exhausted. Jessica L.

55Unique, beautiful land that is great for a private hike. Visited in November, so lots of leaves covered the ground, however the two trails are well marked to prevent getting lost. Will definitely be coming back!Suzanne C.

55Lovely woodsy spot, well-marked trails, easy parking with water and treats for pups. Trails aren’t super long but are very pretty. Nicole W.Lovely woodsy spot, well-marked trails, easy parking with water and treats for pups. Trails aren’t super long but are very pretty.

55This is the BEST SniffSpot for our Heeler! Having him off leash seemed like a fantasy before we found this spot. We had such an amazing time and it was truly so awesome seeing him so happy & free! We will DEFINITELY be coming back - totally worth the 45 min drive for us :) The host is wonderful and very communicative. The trails/property are well maintained and absolutely beautiful. We booked 2 hours and there was plenty to explore. It was such a great experience. So happy we found this spot!Amanda Y.
