Country Solitude

Not fenced but not immediately bordered by anything but forest 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.

The top pasture of this small farm is available for dogs to sniff and exercise. Sometimes there will be farm animal smells, horses and goats, and turkeys, rabbits and deer may also visit. There is a nice hill to tire everyone out, and a pretty view of my little farm. I like to stand at the top and throw balls down the hill for my young dog when we don’t have visitors! Feel free to pull in through the double red gates and close them behind you, to leave my neighbors room to drive past. *note, I just got the top part of the pasture graded, so until the grass grows back it may be muddy up there during wet weather.

1000 ft of Riverfront area plenty of walking and running. There is no fencing at this time but dog playground is coming soon.

Fully fenced yard in NW Asheville with beautiful forested views! The lawn is sloped with short grass. Cattle fence has mesh wire all the way around. There are very small gaps at the gates (pictured) but my 25lb dog cannot fit through them. Please use only the side of the yard at the front of the house (to your left from the driveway). It is fenced separately from the back yard. There is a spigot for water and trash can in the driveway for your use! Please note that several neighbors have dogs so it is likely you’ll see them out or hear barking (in case your dogs are sensitive to distraction). Also one side of my fence abuts a neighbor’s adjacent yard, and they occasionally let their dogs out into the yard on their side of the fence for a bathroom break. The dogs cannot get through the fence but may come up to it and bark; the neighbors usually call them inside quickly.

This is a perfect and private backyard for your dog(s) to run near the River Arts District in Asheville! Parking with easy access to our fenced-in backyard. Plus, it is a short walk to the French Broad River, New Belgium Brewery and the Greenway Linear Park.

Welcome to Maddawg's! Come spend a day by the creek in the Land of the Sky with your best furry friend just four miles off the Blue Ridge Parkway! We are also located only 15 minutes from downtown Asheville. On the retreat we have chairs, dog waters, a hammock and fire pit for your convenience and relaxation. You and your pup deserve it!

Fully fenced 8 acre horse farm, which we share so more dogs have a chance to safelyrun free. Wooded hills with trails, open pastures. Horses roam freely except when guests request they be confined, so there will be horse manure.

A few Announcements: 1) 2/27- It came to my attention recently that in the back corner of the yard there is a small gap between my fence and the neighbor's fence where a dog could potentially get through. This came to my attention after a recent visitor was there with their dogs and my neighbor came out on their deck with their 2 smaller dogs and my visitor's dogs wanted to go after the neighbor's 2 smaller dogs. That was the 1st time I heard of this gap or anything like that happening, but I did see the gap that they were talking about, where it's possible their dogs could have gotten through if they weren't guarding their dogs from getting through. It will be a few days before I'll be able to address this as far as getting it fixed so in the meantime, this is a warning that there is a potential gap in this part of the fencing. (Bottom left corner.) **Book at your own risk.** I will update this once I've been able to secure this hole. Thank you for your patience. 2) There was a recent visitor who did not clean up after their dog. If I knew who it was, it would show up in my review of them. This is a reminder that you are expected to clean up after your dog. Thank you. Recommendations: I recommend that if you book an evening time, that you come prepared with a good flashlight, especially in the fall/winter when it's getting dark earlier, and check the time of sunset. Even with the lights on, it will be dark in most parts of the yard, and I can't guarantee the lights will be on for every evening visit. 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.

A large pasture with fencing around everywhere except the top of the creek crossing running behind it. Bring a towel and enjoy! The bugs are back so a head screen or bug spray might make you more comfortable. Chairs and tables and sometimes a hammock provided creekside! Please do not bring more dogs than you have made your reservation for. If something changes please contact customer service and they can add dogs to your current reservation.

Next to the creek and just outside the city :)
