55We were so impressed with the beauty and tranquility of this amazing place! I kept saying Wow to myself as we were roaming around. The hike down was on the steeper side but if you are careful and have good shoes, it shouldn’t be a problem. The wooden banister was a nice touch to help us feel stable walking down. It is a woodsy area with trees and paths and a peaceful creek. I felt like we were on a mini camping trip! It is very clean, no sign of dog poop anywhere. There was a small pile of bagged-up doggie waste and that’s where we put ours. There is a deck with chairs for hanging out. Our dogs loved it and were absolutely busy exploring every inch, rolling around, running, and playing. So much to sniff - there were a lot of different types of foliage to engross them. They found different types of terrain to play on and also found some tennis balls there to chase. Would 100% come back. Even though this was for the dogs, speaking as a human, it is the perfect escape from the insanity of everyday life. Elaine H.

Beautiful yard with patio and garden. Patio heater, fire pit, and seating. | Sniffspot
55Found the sniff spot to be exactly as described. There were a fair number of dogs in the general neighborhood so my reactive doggo was pretty triggered by the time we arrived. She was exhausted by the time we left though. A good time was had by all. Thank you!!Rosanna G.

55Beautiful space! Cheryl was a great host -- super friendly and helpful -- and my dogs had a blast running around the yard with her dogs. We'd love to come back!
Advice for other Sniffspot guests coming from 101: Try to remember the last few turns you took before arriving. Lots of turns on winding roads to get there, so I used Google Maps. On the way home, I had no cell service (I have AT&T), but was able to pick up some signal along the way in order to map it back.Connie K.

FAQ About Emerald Hills 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.

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.
