HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

Occasionally neighbors dogs (or chickens) are out and about around the perimeter of the property. The space is big enough to avoid their presence by sticking to the interior parts of the forest versus the fence line. You may hear from within my house, dogs vocalizing. My house is at the top of one of the hills. The house dogs will be secured in the house and will not interact with you or your dogs while on the property. My neighbors dogs may also bark sometimes.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

Things to Know! Note: as we move into spring and summer the bugs are out in full force! Consider wearing bug spray. I use the property to conduct group off leash hikes on most days in one hour blocks. Private solo hikers who rent the property are scheduled before and/or after my time. I have a certain amount of flexibility everyday but it's hard to reflect that on a calendar block so it's best to check in regarding what dates/time slots are actually available if you are looking for time slots Monday through Thursday. The property contains easy, moderate and intense hiking. The trails in and out of the property will get your heart pumping. Read: Steep. When any type of precipitation occurs it can be very slippery. Hiking boots with good treads and ankle support are important for stability in these spots. I do these hikes practically everyday for years now, so I'm used to the terrain and I still fall from time to time. Having said all that, the forest floor is pretty flat and a great place for a chuck-it, a ball and a dog that likes to go long! Make sure to wear good hiking boots and clothing that you don't mind getting dirty. I constantly have land management projects going on so you may encounter materials, brush piles or hand tools throughout the property. This place was virtually impenetrable when I took it over due to decades of wild overgrowth. I work on it one day at a time with the goal of developing a regional park like experience for people and dogs while trying not to overly disturb existing and hopefully future habitats of the animals that call this place home. There is a stream AND a mud pit :D Occasionally neighbors dogs (or chickens) are out and about around the perimeter of the property. The space is big enough to avoid their presence by sticking to the interior parts of the forest versus the fence line. Even more occasionally, target practice with firearms can be heard from neighbors in the vicinity - typically not immediate neighbors. The land is wild and all types of wild animals may be present; typically they stay out of site but deer often access our property by jumping the fence. In addition - the trees can make noise while moving with the wind and drop branches or various other things in the process of movement. Poison ivy is present on the property. Various other plants including mushrooms are also present and might be toxic if ingested or produce irritation if contact is made. Please be aware and mindful. Please be aware that yellow jackets may be around in the summer. Steer clear of them if you come across anything that looks like a nest; they will swarm and sting. During windy, wet weather a tree or tree limb can come down onto the fence; I typically repair/replace damaged sections same day or next day. Please be aware that if this occurs I may opt to reschedule your hike. Also, please be aware that I cannot monitor the fence constantly. While I check the fence almost daily - there is ALOT of fence containing the acreage - it's possible that a panel could have sustained damaged or even come down without my knowledge. This is a risk that is present hiking this property. Feel free to alert me to anything if you notice something - your feedback is valued and it helps me stay on top of things. Please keep your dog on leash until you are through the property gate and into the property. I have a one acre fenced pen area separate and apart from the property – please do not let your dog off leash in the pen. Thanks for Reading!!

Our spacious backyard is fully fenced in with 4 gates, two of which are accessible for entry. The main gate is opened by a FOB which can be left outside for easy retrieval.

A large water bowl can be provided for pet use and drinks can be provided for animal parents upon request. We have hammocks and plenty of shaded area in the yard. We have kids and their toys are out and about, and we welcome families to use them. Your pet won’t get bored exploring this giant play area.

Pondside Paws Park

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Welcome to Pondside Paws Park, located in a quiet valley 15 minutes outside of downtown Asheville NC. Here you will find a peaceful, fully fenced in half acre lot with a pond for your pups to swim, romp, sniff, play and have a great time. For those more adventurous dogs, there's even a dock for jumping into the pond! There are opportunities for enjoying the pond regardless of your dog's age or exercise ability, as there is a shallow area with tall grass for wading and splashing, and a deeper area for swimming. The slope of the land is gentle for those older dogs as well- this spot is suitable for dogs of all ages and abilities. For the humans, we have several seating options including a picnic table and 4 chairs under a shade sail. Bug spray, sunscreen, fresh drinking water for the dogs and a tote full of toys is also provided in the weatherproof storage shed next to the seating area. Waste bags are available if needed, although we appreciate people bringing their own, and there is a waste container located at the entrance, next to the kiddie pool that is used to rinse off muddy paws. It's recommended that you bring a towel to dry them off before getting back into your car. We hope you enjoy the spot and leave it as you found it for others to enjoy as well.

Dog Play Place- East Asheville

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

PLEASE BE CAREFUL OF BEARS! I have had a bear in the back yard once or twice, they can jump fences! If you need a better idea of where it is, it's within walking distance of the East Asheville Farmer's Market, Library, Fire Department, and Wells Fargo. I'm also close to Bull Mountain Rd. A few Announcements: While I make every effort to ensure that other guests have cleaned up after their dogs, I have occasionally been informed that they have not. So I must now update the description accordingly. I welcome you to partake of my beautiful backyard in a peaceful neighborhood- as long as you are aware it is possible there is occasional dog poo. Also be advised that if you are extremely sensitive to poison ivy, be aware there may be some in some parts of the yard. If your dog is a curious sort, be aware that there is some yard equipment being stored under the deck and this area is open and not blocked off. I cannot anticipate every guest's need, but I am happy to offer my yard for a small fee to those who understand what is being offered. Thank you! Please clean up after your dog! Recommendations: 2) If you book an evening time, be prepared with a flashlight, or know when the sun sets. I have outside lights, but I can't guarantee they will always be on, and they don't illuminate the whole yard. The space: A wide open space with rolling hills for your dogs to play, while you enjoy the view. *The sprinkler is actually a garden hose that is a "soaker" hose. It sprays water out of it like a sprinkler. There are plenty of sticks you can throw for the dog to fetch. (The location is 5 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, 5 minutes to Downtown Asheville, and close to the Folk Art Center. The newly renovated Haw Creek library and playground, Creekside Tavern, and High Five Coffee are just down the street. You can also walk to the Haw Creek Farmer's Market from here on Fridays, 3-6 pm. You can walk straight from to the Mountain to Sea trail from here without having to drive, and hike to Lunchbox rock (seen in pictures here.) I included the porch pictures so you could see the sunset. :) ) There is hand sanitizer, sunblock and bug spray under the stairs, under the side of the bottom step that you are welcome to use.i
