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! 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!!

N. Asheville mountaintop fully fenced some flat yard with a view!

Fully Fenced
0.11 acres

We're 5 minutes from downtown near Vinnie's off Merrimon Avenue, fully fenced flat yard, with table and chairs for you to sit at while watching your dog have fun and do their business.... But that amazing 180 degree view overlooking this city of Asheville Grove parking UNCA Mount Pisgah and West! Every so often our neighbor has their dog out in their fenced yard, and we do have a dog inside our house. We work from home... But you'll be able to pull up park on the drive and have access to the fence yard without disturbing us or our pet. If your dog likes to dig up a yard or flowers this is not the right property :( We have onsite parking. If your dog has mobility issues, this is a fully flat yard with a gate entrance. There's also steps up and down from the deck or you can sit and watch.

✨ Welcome to Our Indoor SniffSpot! ✨ After losing our original training center to the hurricane, we were incredibly fortunate to rebuild — and we’re so excited to now share this space with the community as an indoor SniffSpot when it isn’t being used for our training services. This space was created with love, resilience, and dogs in mind, and we can’t wait for you and your pup to enjoy it! Because this is a brand-new offering, we’re sure there will be a few kinks to work out along the way, and we truly appreciate your patience as we learn and grow. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any feedback, ideas, or special requests — we want this to be a great experience for everyone. 🐶 A few quick housekeeping reminders: • Please clean up after your dog. Accidents happen — no worries! Just use the provided poop bags, mop, rags, and spray to clean up. • A poop trash can and scoop are located in the dog run for your convenience. • If you use the water bowls, please empty them in the sink at the end of your reservation. • Please return the space to the way you found it, including putting any toys or equipment back in their designated spots. 📹 Security Reminder: For the safety of our guests, dogs, and facility, this space is monitored by security cameras. Thank you for being part of this new chapter with us — we are so grateful to share this space with you and your dog 💛🐾

Abigail's Barkyard Basecamp!

Fully Fenced
0.75 acres

.75 acres in lovely East Asheville, convenient to town! The yard has two private gated entrances on either side of the home, perched at the top of the hill for a secure experience. Make yourself at home and relax on the comfy outdoor furniture by the firepit or the hammock while your pup zoomies to their heart’s content. There's plenty of dog toys for tug or toss, plus tennis balls and throwers for the Fetch Fanatics—and even a fancy pooper scooper to save your back. Our neighbors on either side do have dogs, and you may occasionally see them out and about-- but they mostly mind their own business (though the Husky on one side might yodel a hello), and all fencing is private/ not shared so there is no possible fence contact. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so an indoor bathroom is available if needed, along with high-speed WiFi and extenders if you need to stay connected during your visit. We also have two mini Aussies (one tiny, one shmedium). They're typically kept inside for a completely private visit—but, if your dog is social they’re happy to come out and play! Both are friendly and non-reactive and their company is always optional. We totally understand that sometimes you want a private dog park for a reason!

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.
