55This was our second time visiting this lovely spot. It’s so nice to get out of the city and play with my dog in the peace and quiet of the country. There’s plenty of room for a game of fetch, with breaks for my dog to cool off in the pond. The many trees provide plenty of shade, too. We’re low maintenance and haven’t used the paddleboats, but that’s a really nice amenity for those interested.Sue W.

55The spot was great. My dog and his friends had a great time. Plenty of space to run around. Enough shade. The pond had green algae, but it didn’t stop the dogs from enjoying it. Melissa was quick to respond to my questions before the visit. I will use this spot again. Lorie B.

55Melissa is such a considerate host and her space is beautiful! The fencing is not super secure, so I recommend walking the fence line before choosing to let your dog off leash. Other than that, we had a lovely time and plan on coming back!Miriam Y.

55Fantastic spot for water dogs! Our dog happily spent a 1.5 hours exploring and playing fetch. The host provided all the essentials: drinking water, towels, toys, and chairs. As others have mentioned, the area is not completely fenced so do make sure your dog has good recall. Alisha W.

55The space was wonderful for my dogs. There's a concrete path that goes all the way around the pond for walking and easy entry area into the pond for the dogs. I recommend long-line leashes for dogs without good recall.Katie Z.

55Beautiful area for the pups to take a dip and run around. Melissa was very helpful and warned us about the algae build up in the water. Thankfully I don’t think it is blue green algae! The pups had a great time and were tuckered out by the end of our session. Lauren P.

55Gorgeous place! My dogs had such a blast with all the space. Not sure if we came at a time the sprinklers usually turn on but it was the icing on top of their zoomies. Never seen my little one so happy he even built up the courage to swim in the pond. The amount of shade was perfect to end the day with a picnic and cool down from the heat. Katrina B.

55My dog has IBD (irritable bowel disease). Every so often he gets in a flare and he is basically miserable. It just so happened that Merlin ended up in a horrible flare right before I initially scheduled the sniffspot. I rescheduled for a week later and he is still no better (yes we went to vet, been dealing with this illness for years now) but I forgot to reschedule or cancel. I contacted Melissa and let her know we are not coming, and that i understood we won't get a refund. I was totally fine with it. Melissa was extremely kind and went out of her way to offer another time when Merlin feels better. She checked in on us as well. It is nice to have kind, thoughtful people in this world so thank you Melissa.Michelle R.

If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines.
