55The dogs are gonna love it there! It's got a big yard, all the nature sounds, and you can see the neighbors, but they're far enough away to ensure privacy. Those woods are perfect for the pups to sniff around. They even have chairs for owners and bowls for the dogs. It's a great spot for a picnic while the dogs run wild. The only thing was, we couldn't find any water. There was a hose, but we weren't sure if we could use it, so we used our own. Still, it's a five-star place!eunice r.

55Great fun was had! There was some wildlife near the wooded area when we arrived that quickly moved along when it saw the dogs. The pups enjoyed exploring the woods and playing in the grass!Sam M.

55This is a wonderful SniffSpot, unfortunately couldn’t enjoy it to the fullest because of the heat! I booked when we could go, and it just so happened that it was in the middle of the afternoon😔. My bad, however we will be back when temperatures drop, as it is a really fun place for dogs to stretch their legs, and sniff!Ann M.

55This a wonderful space, the fence is solid, and lots of room to run. The host has a couple chairs out & bowls for water. We went early in the morning, so a fair amount of dew & mosquitoes, but that’s just life in this area. Definitely will return. Lulabelle D.

55Great spot with lots of space. It's a mix of woods and large open field so plenty to explore for dogs who want to sniff in the woods and plenty of space for dogs who want to chase a ball or Frisbee. The entrance, parking spot, and bin to throw waste were all well marked. A great spot, especially for bigger dogs who need lots of room to run. Abby H.

55We had so much fun at this sniff spot! It’s very spacious and well maintained. Our dog was absolutely exhausted afterwards. The host was super communicative before hand and left out water, treats, and human snacks. They also left clear instructions for access, where to park, and how to dispose of pet waste. If you go at dusk, I’d recommend packing bug spray. 11/10. We’ll be back!Diana D.

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.
