55I regularly visited the 12 Acres Sniffspot for a couple years prior to hurricane Helene. This was my first visit back since the hurricane. Now there are fewer trees and the shoreline is different. However, the Nolichucky River is as beautiful as ever. It's still a magical place for my dog and me.
55Awesome spot!!
55Beautiful spot! Melanie is a great host. Bean dog loved splashing in the river and running up the hiking trail. There are places to sit, a big field to play catch and a trail up the hill with a lookout spot. We had a great time.
55A dog’s paradise!! My pup Luna loved it here! She didn’t want to leave. It has easy access to the water. She doesn’t like to swim but she still waded in it. We did the little hike up the mountain too. Wear good shoes with grip if you’re going to do it. Has some chairs under a little pavilion and a picnic table next to the water. Had a blast and will definitely be frequent visitors!
55This was by far the best Sniffspot we have been to yet! It was so clean, beautiful and accessible and the perfect oasis for a high energy reactive dog! We personally didn’t see or hear anything other than birds and we loved it so much we kept extending our stay and stayed for 3 hours! Thanks Melanie!
55Such a fun, open, and safe spot for my dogs to run around and have fun! They loved swimming and exploring the space. Everything was so clean, peaceful, and well maintained. We had such a great time and will definitely be back! 🐾
55The space was amazing, easy to find and access. My boy had a wonderful time and we will certainly book again!!
55Absolutely Beautiful spot! Set up very nice and the boys loved it! Will definitely be coming here weekly! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful property!
55Wonderful place! My guys and myself really enjoyed our time.
55Melanie's place was wonderful! My dog had so much fun running around on the trail and beach.

Description

Find me on TheRomeApp.com if you don’t want to buy a subscription. *UPDATE 9/20/25* We are open!! It may not be the same after the storm but it’s still a doggy paradise. *POST HELENE UPDATE 10/13/24* I am so sad to say that the Helene floods have completely destroyed our Sniffspot. We hope to reopen one day but the space will be a completely different place. We are hard at work doing what we can so please check back often. UPDATE 4/11/24* The bugs can get really bad at certain times of year. Mostly gnats around the face and no-see-ums. I do provide bug spray and bug nets that work best when worn with a hat. The worst of the bugs are early spring (April-June). Not fenced but not immediately bordered by anything but forest or field on all sides. The property is 12 acres with mostly open or treed space. There is a small beach area with water calm enough for dogs to swim and fetch sticks. We have picnic tables and chairs that you can use but please pick up after yourself, your dog, and your kids. There is now a trashcan provided on the beach for your convenience. Downstream side of property has an “island” that can be explored. The neighbors property downstream starts shortly free the road narrows between the river and steep bank. It’s usually more overgrown and can visually tell the upkeep is different. Please avoid being on their property. Flood waters make signage difficult to use in this area. Just message me if you need more details on the boundary line.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

There has been wildlife spotted such as turkey and deer. Some of the wooded space has briars. There is a large part that is similar to a rugged hiking trail which means there is potential to encounter poison ivy and other hazards. In the summer time there could be snakes (although I've not spotted any) and because of the location near the river, there are driftwood piles at some places. The river does have current but rapids are both above and small ones below. If the river is high, I would use caution and suggest a life jacket. This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water

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!
