55This is a very nice quiet yard. The host kindly left out fresh water and a sign welcoming us. I suggest bringing bug spray. I was not prepared and got bit quite a lot. Other than that, it was a great spot. Kathryn T.

55Great backyard for my dog to enjoy! Fencing is secure. I booked at the last minute before arriving and when I got there I found there were some areas where my dog could easily get into a storage area and under the house. Owner indicated she’s going to close those off. I was able to find a workaround solution while we were there which worked out great. Charming area. Emily G.

55Lovely yard. Choice of comfortable chairs. Perfect place to sit and have a coffee and read a book while the pup runs around. Set of balls and a chuckit for retriever type. Nice hill to get some extra exercise from a slope. I really wish more folks would offer downtown spaces like this one!Lisa S.

55My pups enjoyed their time here! It was peaceful and quiet. We heard the neighbor's dog bark only for a few minutes, but other than that there were no other dogs. There was a bag of tennis balls and a ball thrower, which was nice. There was one small hole at the bottom of the fence, which my puppy could have gotten through if she tried. She's tiny though, only 13 lbs. Something to keep in mind if you have a very small pup who may try to get out! Kara K.

55Both my dog, Lola, and I, loved this spot! I just discovered the Sniffspot app and this was my first experience.
This spot is beautiful and quiet. I took the opportunity to practice some commands with my dog and she really enjoyed the space. I have two dog runs inside my apartment complex but many people don’t pick up after their dogs so it was nice to be in a place where you don’t have to worry about stepping in poop! Since I’m a helicopter dog mom, I liked that it was small enough where I could keep an eye on Lola at all times. There were balls, frisbees, and water available from a hose. Chairs to sit.
Great first experience—thank you, Carly! 🙂Isabelle E.

55Amazing little convenient spot!
Me and my pups enjoyed our time here. Definitely will be coming back. Loved how they supplied dog toys for our pups to play and enjoy. Sun hits so perfectly but you do also get some shady spots. We had so much fun. My dogs are wore out. Thankyou so much for sharing your space!! ❤️🐶Olympia D.

55We absolutely adore the space! I have two senior schnauzers who just live for exploring the space. Even though it’s not their jam, the dog toys provided (puppy frisbee, balls, etc) are so helpful with keeping my kiddo preoccupied while the pups play. Dexter and Morgan really enjoy going up and down the property. The available water bowls and poop bags are much appreciated. Thank you for sharing such a serene space! Kristel M.

FAQ about our Asheville fully fenced 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
