55Gorgeous spot! Very private and no other dogs or animals around when we visited. My dog really annoyed wadding in the water pit, eating the tall grasses and walking all over. Wish sniff spot existed when he was younger, he would have run all around this location. But still magical for a senior adventurous dog! Great communication from host. And good tip on wearing your muck boots! (And if need be, there is a pet food express wash station about 15 mins away) Lindsay D.

55Amazing space! Lots of space to run around and explore. WEAR RAIN BOOTS if you want to use the far right side of the lot; it’s very muddy. I made the mistake of wearing crocs lol. And the front gate has a chain but it isn’t locked. I made the mistake of walking up the hill around the side of the house to enter.De’Oshjanae B.

55Another fabulous Sunday morning at our favourite place. Quite a few native wildflowers popping up, a few Blue Dicks above the wood shelter. We tried to protect them from being trampled by hounds. Everyone went for a paddle in the seasonal pond…💕Anne S.

55This was amazing! Our herding mix had a blast and is exhausted from running around and swimming in the little pond. We’ve always wanted to be able to let him run around on a farm and this was perfect. We’ll be back!Kara M.

55Amazing. Worth the drive from the city, our dog was soo happy. Hose + water were great to have. There's a nice natural stone slab in the shade to sit on (plus the shade shelters). Worth it just to see our dogs little tail bounce up and down in the tall grass. Thank you!!!Jessica T.

55Fantastic place! My dogs liked Antoni, the property is fun, varied and securely fenced. My younger dog enjoyed swimming and fetching her disc while my older dog ambled around.
Will definitely return once we're back in the area again.Angela P.

55This was a fabulous spot to spend a few hours with our pups. They loved the varied terrain and spaces. The water station helped beat our pups' thirst and we spent a lovely afternoon under the shade of an oak. Of course, we went during high season for ticks! It took a bit of time to remove them from our pups and ourselves. But we'll be back when the ticks die down somewhat as we so enjoyed walking around this beautiful, peaceful property. Thank you, Antoni!Diane S.
