55We brought our German Shepherd to this Sniffspot for his 10th birthday. We wanted to bring him somewhere safe and secure but with a large open space for him to feel like he was running around with no boundaries. This was the perfect spot for exactly that. Unfortunately, our old man got so excited he overexerted his energy within minutes of hoping out of the car and running free. He did enjoy relaxing in the open space and found a decent amount of shaded areas amongst the trees and barn. The hosts were very kind, informative, and responded promptly to my message's. The area was clean, secure, and I appreciated the open gate to drive in and close up so we didn’t have to worry about walking him in with a leash. I would definitely come back. Rhiannon J.

55Great spot - tons of tennis balls provided, a throw assist, and poop bags in case you forgot yours.
There are some shady spots and a well kept field to explore. Fully fenced and blackberries to snack on. Natasha s.

55This Sniffspot is so cute and is so well maintained. Easy to pull in, park, and get started on all the spots to explore. It’s fun to walk the property and discover the trails in the field. Then there’s lots of chuck it ball space. So nice. We’ll come again!Sylvia L.

55I felt very good about driving into the property and hopping out to close the gate. We have 3 wild ones that are strong and being secured inside before letting them out is not important. They ran the property until they needed to lay down in the shade of the trees. Tons of balls and loads of room to run and roam. We will be back.Heather M.
