Such a nice time, my dogs really enjoyed themselves! Definitely booking again. It’s also my first time using Sniffspot and it was such a great experience! 10/10

Beautiful property with lots of room for dogs to run and play! I have a really reactive/fearful cattle dog that I'm working on recall with and introducing him to new environments and sounds. We were provided with an amazing and safe place to do so! He really enjoyed looking at the fishes in the pond on the property :) Melody is a wonderful host. We definitely will be back!

My first visit to a Sniffspot didn't disappoint! Lots to sniff and investigate here. Melody had fresh water available for the girls. Took me a bit to find the trail down to the lower area, but they had a chance to safely run around in a field. I'll be back!

Melody helped us with directions and met us at the gate. She provided us with information about her property. We enjoyed our visit with our reactive dog Beautiful spot for a sniffy walk without concern about loose dogs !

Awesome spot with a lot of space to sniff and run around. Really friendly and helpful! My dog is VERY sensitive and she had a blast.

This Sniffspot was so much fun! We kept Max on a long 15 foot leash the whole time because we do not have a solid recall for him yet and worried he may run off and get lost. There is a lot of land to sniff and Max sniffed the entire time! The hour went by pretty quickly because we were having so much fun! We even came across a flock of wild turkeys! The host was very nice and met us at the gate to let us in and show us where to go, she also gave us a quick run down of the property. This was our first sniffspot experience and I think we are hooked. Max is tired out and tired pups are always good pups! :)

Nice spot overall. They have a good amount of land to explore. I recommend checking out the not fenced area too. The owner did put out a bowl of water to drink. The water pond feature had too much algae to use. The owner (melody) was nice but she has a dog that barks if you go close to the house which might trigger some dogs. I did step in poo, but there really wasn’t a lot of poo so it was just an unfortunate coincidence.

Unfortunately we did not make it to our sniffspot this time :( I am reviewing with 5* because the app is wonderful and easy to use and the host of this location had great communication with the chat system and was very understanding about needing to cancel our booking! We are hoping to reschedule soon❤️

We had a lovely stroll in the rain, under the oaks. The area beyond the fence is beautiful! Thank you for sharing the land. Wendy and 🐕🐕

The owners were very hospitable, the property was great for our dog to run around, lots for him to explore. We were 15 minutes late so we didn't have enough time to explore all the land but we will be back for that!

So incredibly beautiful here!!! Clean & wide open! My girls had the time of their life!!! Easy to get to when the roads aren’t closed lol & so worth the drive! We will be back again!

We took 3 dogs here - one active senior, one reactive boi, and one blind and deaf dog. They all had an amazing time playing frisbee, sniffing, and eating grass. Though the area wasn't fully fenced in, we kept our dogs close and with all the natural barriers, didn't have any concerns of them running off. While we can easily take our two seeing-abled dogs hiking, its hard to find a safe place where the blind dog can explore and just be a dog and this place was perfect for exactly that. We will definitely be back!

Melody is great! Her property is beautiful and there were lots of fun areas for our Ollie to explore. It’s not fully fenced but still plenty of space to run around and play. We’ll be back often.

Host was super patient - we got lost and were 30 min late but they were very responsive the entire time and met us at the gate when we found it. Fyi Google Maps will direct you to stop in the middle of Heckler Pass Rd. Instead, turn into Bella Vista Ln about 0.5mi north of where Maps sends you

Gorgeous property. It was so fun and exciting for for my pup to tromp around and play. She was in heaven and no other people, doggies or cares in the world for us. Melody is also a wonderfully attentive and caring host.

Super easy and kind check in We had a great visit. I've never done sniffspot before and this far exceeds my expectations. The place was clean and felt very safe. Water provided. The dogs and I had a great walk around the property. It was definitely big enough to let the dogs run about and sniff all kinds of fun stuff. Nice views for me and I’m assuming interesting smells for the dogs. Thanks again

Absolutely loved our visit to Melody's Sniffspot! My pup, Ollie, had an incredible time exploring the large, shaded area with its wonderful hike/forest vibe. Melody met us at the gate and explained the property boundaries, ensuring we felt comfortable and safe. She even left a water bowl outside in case Ollie needed it, which was very thoughtful. Ollie had so many zoomies that I lost track of them. The space was perfect for her to run, sniff, and play to her heart's content. It was also an ideal place to practice recall and training with so many pleasant smells around. We will definitely visit often and highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a great outdoor adventure for their furry friend!

The property is lovely and has some trails as well as a big grassy field. Our dog loved it and Melody is a great host.

My dog and I loved hanging out in the big grassy meadow. It’s such a beautiful spot for zoomies, playing ball, and sitting in the grass. The hill getting down there is pretty steep.

Beautiful property! Lots of land with ocean views. There are a few open areas as well as a little trail. The hosts were so kind and communicative. They had water set out as well as a pooper scooper. We had the best time and will be back.
