55Best Sniffspot so far!!! My dogs had a wonderful time. Definitely booking again! The property was gorgeous! Lots of room to roam, swim, play ball and hike. Every dog would love this place… I guarantee it!
55Sylvia has a beautiful spot for dogs to play! Our dogs especially loved her large pond! They had an absolute blast! There is a partial barbed wire fence around the property, but the play area is behind her house and well back from the quiet road in front of the house. Sylvia is a great host. I had a few questions as a new Sniffspot user and she answered them very promptly! Thank you Sylvia!
55This sniffspot is amazing. Thanks, Sylvia! The dogs had a blast. They ran laps around the property and even went into the pond for good measure. The space is beautiful, relaxing, and has lots of spots to sit in nature. The covered shelter was great for when we got hit with the downpour. Thanks again. We'll be back.
55Sylvia's property is spectacular, a real dream. She and her sister were very accommodating. We'll definitely be back!
