55This is a well maintained property. The farm animals are fun to watch from behind the fenced area. The property does have a steep grade but is worth the hike to enjoy beautiful views from the top. Amy H.

55Pibble Hill is a wonderful Spot in a scenic, rural, and safe setting. The Spot is a mix of open space with some mature trees in various parts of the large fenced-in area, which will be great for shade this summer! The owner is dog savvy and kind. Full disclosure, I knew her before my visit to her Spot today, although I had not seen her in a few years. I do feel I can vouch for her that she knows what she is doing when it comes to dogs and their needs! Will for sure return!Meredith A.

55They LOVED it! Huge hill for them to run up and down on either side, nice grassy area in the middle for fetch, two seating areas for humans, and clearly marked parking. Will definitely recommend. Fully fenced as described and the rambunctious one did not find any escape routes. We had a great time! Stephen W.

55Great spot to let our doggos roam. The hill is great exercise for all, but not too steep, lower corner is hidden from view if on the hill but fencing is secure all around.Michael G.

55Always enjoy a visit to Pibble Hill. My lab especially loved all the balls lying around. My golden retriever likes the water trough as her favorite then gets the zoomies. Fun times!Gwendolyn K.

55We had a great time sniffing and exploring the space and obstacles within it. Not our first time here and won’t be our last! Trish was also thoughtful enough to reach out to offer to change our reservation time to try to avoid expected rain. So appreciated!Stephanie F.

55This was a great location! We had no issues with space for parking (we had four cars!) though the spot only has one designated guest parking spot (and one owner parking) so I would recommend carpooling OR communicating with the owner ahead of time out of respect. But like I said, no issues with space - we just lined up in the driveway near the entrance gate :) But it was a great spot with a great view!Noah Y.

55It's a great place for dogs and people. Ours had a blast running up and down the hills. We felt safe and secure, and the dogs getting to watch the chickens from afar was a bonus. Kate J.

55Trish's Pibble Hill is a well-thought out half acre. You can drive your car in and lock the gate behind you for easy unloading and loading. The area closest to the gate is flat and offers chairs, a fire pit, and a drinking trough as well as lots of toys. Poop bags are provided at the gate entrance. There is a hill to a higher flat area where there are other places to sit and a doggy playground. The area is quiet. Good for us with sensitive doggies. Trish has a small farm with horses and goats and chickens on her adjacent property and that is lovely to look at. All in all a great place to spend an hour!Lynn H.

55Pibble hill is absolutely perfect! Lots of room for the pups to run and play, tons of toys to choose from, agility equipment to try out, and fresh water to drink and splash around in! Another added bonus is you can drive into the spot and close the gate before the pups get out which gives you an additional safety net! The fencing is tall enough so the larger pups can't jump out while also containing the smaller pups. We also loved that there was ample seating for the people! The directions are easy to follow and the property is very clean and well maintained.Emily B.

FAQ About Mars Hill 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. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Mars Hill area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 105 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 227 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
