This was such a nice way to spend our Sunday afternoon. The space is beautiful and the dogs had a great time! We will definitely be back.

Such a lovely spot and Tanya goes above and beyond to make her property welcome. I was able to kick back on a lounger by the creek with a book while my dogs played in the sand and water. Worth the hour drive for us to get to the spot!! My dogs slept like logs all the way home. Thank you very much Tanya!!

So amazing!! This was my very first Sniffspot experience. I’ve been looking at this place for awhile, but it’s 2 1/2 hrs from me. I decided that I couldn’t wait anymore. The host was so great at communication! This was honestly a dog heaven! You can see how much time, effort, and compassion she has for dogs. She thought of every little detail to make this experience truly dog focused. Words alone can’t express how magical this place was for my boy

We had such a relaxing time here! So many fun toys for our dog and us! Host was very communicative and kind. Would love to come back 🥰

Great spot! Creek was perfect, just deep enough and wide enough for tossing the ball and swimming. Nice and shady on a warm day. Lots of chairs and a sandy beach. Our dogs had a blast running around. Worth the drive for us !

Fantastic!!!! So much time and effort was put in to make this a beautiful and relaxing spot for dog parents and a fun Disney World for dogs! Thank you so much. We all had a rough weekend and this was the perfect place to put us back in good spirits..

Our dog loved this spot so much he got the super zoomies! Everything was exactly as advertised. The only downside was that I only rented for an hour.

We could have spent the whole day here. Lovely and expansive and so full of wonderful amenities — not the most secure on the fencing though if you have a jumper.

I brought my dog today for his bday and we had an amazing time! I had lots of fun on the kayak and my dog had a blast running around and jumping in the water. It’s very spacious with lots of room for dog(s) to run around and swim. 100% will be back again!

Excellent adventure for the pups. Our 3 labs aged 9, 6 and 1 loved it here. So many places to explore and play. We only stayed an hour but would definitely book again for longer. Bring a sandwich and relax while the dogs have fun. Thank you for a great experience!

I posted on my Facebook page that our 10/2 visit would be the “last summer Sniffspot day”. But I had no idea it would actually be the very last SniffSpot for my girl, who I lost three days later. My dogs and I have had many fun SniffSpot adventures, but we spent our summer at our FAVORITE spot. In the past few months, I have brought friends and family here so they could experience our “private beach”. I have so many fun memories here. The host has always been amazing, even buying us a toy that Jake loved (and destroyed). We will be back when my heart heals - but for now, I have the wonderful memories of Halo being so happy here. She was deaf and got so excited when I tapped my nose (“Sniff”) because she knew where we were going.

Amazing space!!! Both my doggo’s had the best time running all over the place, smelling everything and jumping in an out of the creek. 10/10 recommend!! They were exhausted for the rest of the day.

Shannon Y.

Wow! We’ve been to many Sniffspots and this one is a must visit. We drove two and a half hours to visit and my only regret is not booking more time. My dogs had so much to do: swimming, running, sniffing, and digging. On top of that, the hosts really thought of everything we could need! Toys, treats, life jackets, and even a clean bathroom. It was a joy seeing my reactive, sensitive dog get to run and play in the creek without fear of someone scaring him. I know we will be back!

Oh we love this place! All 3 of my dogs had a blast sniffing and playing fetch. So many amenities provided by the host! We’ll be back in the summer!

All the 5 star and great word reviews don’t even begin to do this place justice!! This is by far my favorite Sniffspot I have ever been to. I live in Reno and it was worth every minute of the drive & I plan to come back often. Every detail has been thought through and nothing is lacking. The kayak and paddle board allow for equal fun for the dogs and their humans. I wish I could come here everyday!

Loved the property. Our dogs loved exploring and running around. The creek was nice and lots of little hangout spots to sit and relax while they roamed safely.

Nice spot to bring your pups to swim. Has a wonderful creek plenty of seating & things you may need for your visit.

My dog had a wonderful time exploring this site. It was easy to get to and to find. The creek is beautiful. My dog isn't interested in swimming or playing in water, although it's fantastic for dogs that love water. My dog is quite reactive to other dogs, and we didn't see or hear any other dogs while there. Multiple chairs availble to sit down for a break made it quite comfortable. We had a long drive after and I greatly appreciated having a restroom available for customers.

Charlie and I had a great time at our first visit to this spot! It’s beautiful and quiet, and Tanya has clearly put a lot of time and energy into anticipating potential needs of guests. Charlie was a big fan of the creek, which has a nice variety of shallow and deep spots, as well as moving water and fairly still spots. The fence was just fine for my large dog, although anyone with teeny dogs may want to be aware that the driveway gate has gaps between the bars, but nothing that wooden spoon trick wouldn’t fix! We will be back :)
