55We loved our stop! The nature trail was clear cut and my dogs loved all the available sticks. It was a lovely hike into the Loess Hills. We will definitely be back!
55One of our favorite sniffspots! Our Bosco always has a blast.
55Loved coming out here again. We were waiting for the mosquitoes to kind of reduce in numbers to come back out. It was a lot of fun for both my dog and I. I can’t wait to see if I can try out the campfire option with my family some time soon!
55Outstanding. We booked a campfire this time and it was all set up for us with plenty of fuel. Kids and dog had an amazing run around and really enjoyed the beautiful landscape. Thanks so much to the host for going above and beyond
55Communication was clear and helpful Spot was clean and wore our puppies out nicely. They had so much fun running the trail. Will definitely book again
55It's just beautiful! There are adventures large and small, all while feeling like a very safe place for your pup. It's our favorite!
55so nice! such a beautiful property with a lovely trail :)
55Freya's Playground is an absolutely lovely Sniffspot that we will happily visit again. Eric left out bug spray, a sprinkler, a tripod, and lots of toy options. Nico really enjoyed the path and the slight elevation gave us good exercise as well. The tall grass near the driveway was a huge hit as you can see in the pictures. Nico is still learning recall so I was careful about keeping him on leash near the driveway, but the property is nicely tucked away in the trees and Nico never seemed inclined to push the boundaries. We had tons of great opportunities to practice recall.
55This spot is definitely going on the favorite list. I love that this spot had a trail that was really nicely cleared but then had areas around the trail with long grass and tall plants which is what my dog loves. So I got to stay on the trail while my dog had the zoomies off the trail. It is such a lovely place to get away from the city which is what I am always looking for in a Sniffspot. The gravel road nearby did seem a little busy but the trail is far enough away from it that I had no issues with my dog being off leash. We saw a deer so that was really fun for my dog to try and keep up with it but he had no chance 😂 I would recommend this place to anyone especially if you have a reactive dog (like I do) and don’t like taking them on heavily populated trails. But the mosquitoes are ruthless and a good bug spray is a must. I’m so thankful to the host for opening this spot up and can’t wait to go back
55Great spot! Was a nice shaded short trail and both kids and dog enjoyed it greatly. Nice host and very well maintained

Location

Pacific Junction, Iowa

Description

Beautiful partially fenced acreage located in the Scenic Loess Hills with easy access to I-29. There are two fully fenced garden areas, an approximately 1/2 mile walking trail, and a large un-fenced area that pets can run off-leash.

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

There are all forms of native wildlife present depending on the time of day & year. The only hazardous species endemic to the area are Black Widow and Brown Recluse spiders, however, it is very rare to encounter them. The spot is heavily wooded and falling limbs are always a possibility, especially during high wind events. The larger garden has a low voltage electric fence installed, but it will always be de-energized and physically disconnected during visits. Please be attentive if walking around the property, especially if you’re bringing children. I do my best to make it kid-friendly for my young nieces, but we have numerous active projects going on at any given time.
