55Beautiful spot! I thought my dogs had found a way out of the fence when they went down to the creek but rest assured, it was inside the fence and there’s even fencing over the pipe so they can’t go in there either. We’re from VA, visiting relatives in Candler, and it was wonderful to have such a big, quiet space where the dogs could run and play freely all to ourselves!Julie P.

55Beautiful, peaceful spot for a walk. We saw turkeys when we first arrived and cows on the hill on the neighboring property, but otherwise didn’t see anyone. Dogs loved sniffing around outside the barn once inside the gate. Appreciate the provision of chairs in a shady spot on a hot afternoon!Tristan R.

55I can’t say enough good things about this place! I have two big reactive dogs, and unfortunately a small backyard, and to have this kind of opportunity to let them run in a safe fenced in space is just priceless. Thank you Elizabeth for providing this wonderful space❤️Elisabeth E.

55Wonderful place for dogs to play. However, warning that there are yellow foxtails growing all over the place. It’s fine now, but once they dry, it’s very dangerous for dogs.Esther G.

55Great spot! Beautiful piece of farm land with ton of space to run. When the gates close it leaves a small gap so be aware when you're heading back to your car. If anyone finds a leather leash, it's ours!Micah M.

55This is a beautiful place to run your dogs. My dogs had a lot to sniff! 95% fenced in area is accurate. I noticed two openings, one near the barn and on top of the hill. I appreciate that the owner was up front about this. My Feist did go through the hole by the barn because of her interest in the groundhog holes on the other side. Can’t blame her for trying.
My other dog wasn’t interested and just ran and ran. Altogether, a nice hour spent on the property.Marie-Louise M.

55Awesome sniffspot! Lots of space for the doggos to get their zoomies out and a small water feature to cool off. There’s also great seating for the humans and bug spray to keep the pests at bay. I recommend bringing your own if you can so as not to deplete what’s there for those that didn’t know to bring it. There’s even a spot to get out of the rain if you get caught in a down pour. Highly recommend!! Danielle P.

FAQ about our Sylva dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
