55We’ve been here a bunch of times and it’s always great. There’s more land now than the first time we came and my dog loved it. He ran the perimeter several times and swam in the pond. He never gets to run that much. He had a great time. The area was clean with very clear signage. We’ll definitely be back.Allison F.

55Reese and I had a great time at this peaceful oasis! Reese had a great time swimming and so much space to run! We took advantage of the dog bath this time. After a few trips here and meeting Kathy, I felt comfortable going inside to use the dog bath. She had music playing and the walk in tub was clean. I brought her shampoo and she provided the towels. She also provided a peanut butter lick mat to place on the tub wall to help make Reese more comfortable during her bath. Thank you for a great experience!! Dawn F.

55Great Sniffspot. Loved how it was entirely fenced in. It was very opened with lots of running space. The creek was hands down my dogs favorite part. The pond was also a huge hit. The host Kathy was very friendly and after explaining the rules and taking us to the Sniffspot she allowed us to enjoy the time alone. The bath area was also very nice! A self service dog grooming tub, in an air conditioned room. 10/10 recommend!! Courtney W.

55Gorgeous property with a huge, clean pond, mowed fields for running and fun paths to explore—and a pristine porta pot as a bonus! My dogs had a ton of fun. We’ll definitely be back. Janelle G.

55Very large property at The Pond. Heavy rain cut our visit in half but this is more like your own private, fully fenced farm property for your visit. Benches, huge yard to play in, and several gradual pond entrances where our Jack Russell could stand in-between swimming out to retrieve his ball. My daughter brought her two goldens as well. Just a shame that rain cut our 1.5 slot to about 45 minutes. Host very responsive and friendly. Clean and safe. Dave A.

55this is an 100/10 sniffspot!! the area itself was well up kept, clean, & had some really cool features like mini paths within the fields & of course the pond. Kathy was such a pleasure, couldn’t of been a more amazing host. she greeted us happily even though it was 6:30am & was kind enough to bring treats & stay to train with & help my girl with her first time in the grooming bath. couldn’t recommend this spot & host more!

55We had a fantastic experience! Kathy was incredibly kind and helpful—super responsive to messages and even made sure to show us exactly where to enter. The space itself was amazing, with tons of room for my dog to run and explore. The pond was definitely the highlight—my dog had the best time swimming! It was also so nice to be able to bathe her after the swimming. Highly recommend!

55First visit with our new dog. He, of course, loved The Acres. He could not believe the freedom he had to run and we got to practice recalls from a good distance. It was a perfect hour.Sherry R.

55The property is perfect and ideal whether your pups like to swim or run on the entire fenced in property. Kathy, the owner was there to greet us and explain where everything is located. We will definitely be back! Karen M.

55This is a beautiful space. Very well marked. Huge, open spaces as well as a maze of little trails for the pups to run. My dogs love sitting in the creek under the bridge or lying in the shallow part of the pond. Highly recommend this SniffSpot. Absolutely worth the drive.Miranda B.

55This place is magical. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my dogs have so much fun. Kathy was very helpful showing us around. The fence is very high quality and secure (we have a husky that’s a “runner” so we are extra vigilant). The bathing facility was a fantastic bonus! We hope to visit again soon—it’s great for the pups! Sarah F.

55We spent a wonderful evening at this spot. My 4 dogs loved it. So much space to run. Completely secure. (I have 3 huskies). Allowing them to swim without a lead was everything! Easy, beautiful, and perfect for a summer night activity. 10 out of 10.Heather J.

55We had a wonderful time; the location is beautiful, peaceful and HUGE. My dog loved wading in the pond. By the end of our reservation she'd run through every corner of the field and was completely worn out. This is the perfect spot for someone with reactive or anxious dogs: they can run to their heart's content and you can let your guard down knowing that you won't run into other dogs or people.

55Even during the heat of this week a morning visit here is perfect. It is the perfect balance of open space to run and lush areas to explore. You don’t have to worry about being in full sun during your visit because there are beautiful shaded areas. Lots of good ‘sniffs’ and areas to explore here. Beth R.

55Our boys love going to the Acres! It is a beautiful spot that is fully fenced and safe for them to run! The process of securing the gate is great and all of the personal touches around the area with dog names and bench placement for humans is an extra nice touch. This is my dog, Petey’s favorite place to run. We even celebrated his birthday there! Debra T.

FAQ About Holtwood 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.
