Good space for dog to run around and swim
We really love this spot, we drive an hour from Asheville to here, and this spot make us excited, especially the river, the dog love it so much, I made an extension for another hour. We will back for sure
We’ve been to this spot many times now and it’s our dogs’ favorite! We lucked out with perfect weather for today’s visit and the dogs swam, fetched and explored the entire time. Our older dogs especially love the beach area with easy access to wade into the river. Can’t wait to visit again!
This was our second time at Melanie’s spot and we can’t wait to go back again. A lovely secluded spot on the river with ample spots to relax, go for a mozy in the woods, let the pup take a little swim, or let the pup run free in the clearing. Melanie even took the extra step and left a few supplies we may have needed but didn’t think of- bug spray, towels, waters, treats. The pup loved it and didn’t want to get back in the car when it was time to leave. Hoping to make it back again soon!
Host replied: I love letting other people and pups enjoy our little sanctuary! I hope you come back and get to experience all of the seasons. Each one has something special to offer at the river 😊
Had another great time and looking forward to our next visit!!
Host replied: So glad you enjoyed!
This is hands down the best Sniffspot we’ve ever been to! The host is amazing- she leaves little baskets of dog (and human) treats, bug spray, towels and balls for the pups. There’s tons of space for your dogs to run/swim/play I cannot recommend it enough!
Host replied: Thank you so much! Y’all are welcome here any time 😄
Beautiful spot on river. Owner had everything we needed for a comfortable visit, including snacks (for dogs and people!), water, and even a towel.
Host replied: Thank you! Come back anytime :)
This was our 2nd visit to 12 Acres. My 1 year old pup loves this Sniffspot. She has so much room to explore and frolic. There is so much more to check out so we will be back. It makes me happy when my pup is happy! Melanie, thank you!
Host replied: It makes me happy to be able to share this space with you.
Beautiful warm, sunny day at the river! Brilliant location for a Sniffspot. Thanks for sharing!
Such a great place. Best sniff spot around !
We have recently acquired this land and I am happy to offer this opportunity for people who want their dogs to have a chance to run free. It’s a great space and my dogs have thoroughly explored all the random piles of driftwood. They would be happy to show your dogs around or would be fine to give them their own space!
Book this spot!
