Fully Fenced
6.5 acres

Please read everything about this property before booking. There are detailed descriptions about what to expect. If you book this property it's assumed that you are comfortable navigating steep, rugged trails. And that you understand there is mud present. Sometimes very slippery mud if it has rained recently. In addition, please message me in the app if you need anything or have an issue. I'm happy to help if I'm around (and usually I am).

Wooded trails ~ 10 minutes from downtown AVL

Unfenced
5 acres

Whistlepig Trails offers 5 acres of wooded, hand-maintained trails designed for dogs and their humans to explore. The paths wind through a natural hillside, with gentle slopes, packed earth, and plenty of interesting scents along the way. Maintained with care, these trails provide a safe and engaging space for dogs to roam, sniff, and stretch their legs. Located within a small, artsy campground, the space has a rustic, creative feel, with upcycled structures and a relaxed atmosphere. Sniff Spot visitors are welcome to use the restroom facilities during their visit. Please keep your pups on a leash at all times. Please note that it is possible that the neighbors dogs could make an appearance. Unfortunately, we have no control over this. :( There's a good chance you'll see other people around the property while you're here. We run a campground for visitors to Asheville and also have folks who live on the property.

We have 9.5 acres of pristine mountain glory We have a large unfenced Field, Shallow Creek with some small waterfalls, a spring that feeds a tiny pond, a large cleared Homesite that's away from the road moderate to difficult trails and beautiful views. The trails are moderate until you come to the areas that we had landslides, at which point, you can turn around or enjoy the difficulty it presents. Sometimes I or other guests may be on property. If you don't want any other dogs present while you're here, please confirm by text ahead of your reservation time. Thanks so much! We look forward to sharing our sweet space with you. We do not have any trash service.

Camp Cruso - River Trail Adventure

Unfenced
100 acres

Looking for more than just a fenced yard? A private hiking trail through 100 acres of Appalachian forest leading to a secluded river location. Explore miles of private woodland trails with your dog as you hike through the mountains of Camp Cruso. This self-guided adventure leads to a beautiful, secluded section of the East Fork of the Pigeon River where you can relax, explore, splash, and enjoy nature together. Along the way you'll experience peaceful forests, mountain scenery, wildlife, and the sounds of a cascading waterfall before reaching the river. This is a hiking experience—not a quick walk—making it perfect for active dogs and adventurous owners looking to spend quality time outdoors. Important: **Leash - Your pup is required to be leashed near all Camp Cruso farm animals, for their safety** **Private - This is a private property, but you may not be the only guest/pup during your visit** **Moderate to Strenuous Hike - This trail includes hills, uneven terrain, roots, rocks, and natural forest conditions - we are not a national park with a manicured trail** **River Use - The destination is a natural flowing mountain river. Water levels and currents vary depending on recent rainfall** **Self Guided - This is not a guided visit**

55Apollo and Bella had the best time roaming the meadows and exploring the woods. There were a few paths to choose from, we chose the steeper of the options and it was a peaceful little walk up to the top. We stuck to the main trail, but next time plan on trying the other paths and exploring the woods a little more. This is unlike other Sniffspot I’ve visited as it really offers so much between the combo of meadow/trails and forest to explore. We can’t wait to come back!

Apollo and Bella had the best time roaming the meadows and exploring the woods. There were a few paths to choose from, we chose the steeper of the options and it was a peaceful little walk up to the top. We stuck to the main trail, but next time plan on trying the other paths and exploring the woods a little more. This is unlike other Sniffspot I’ve visited as it really offers so much between the combo of meadow/trails and forest to explore. We can’t wait to come back!

55My pup was SO JAZZED to run around those trails. There is definitely a lot to explore, I feel like I only scratched the surface. The trail we picked was a pretty steep climb, but it looks like there are less steep options. It was an awesome properties and the views through the trees are fantastic. The host was very helpful and welcoming as well! We will definitely be back

55This was our first Sniffspot experience and my husband and I and our two young labs had a great time. The trail is steep but beautiful. The dogs ran up and down several times and now that we’re back home they are sound asleep. Great way to exercise your dogs as well as yourself in a lovely location.

55It is a beautiful piece of property. I met up with some friends and we had 11 dog’s total. We decided to take to take the trail into the woods just be prepared that if you do, it is a very steep climb and one heck of a workout. The dogs made it look easy of course. If I come back again I would probably just hang in the meadow area and let the dogs run there instead of making a hike of it. Things to make note of not with the intention of deterring people but things I would want to know about a sniff spot: on the trail the property line was barbed wire, we were able to keep the dogs away from it, but if you’re dog gets the zoomies it’s something to be aware of. There was no barbed wire in the meadow area. Second and last thing is I had a tick crawling on me within 5 mins of being there and found a couple on the dogs after the spot. This ofcourse can happen anywhere but maybe spray yourself and the dogs down with bug repellent. Overall if I want to make the trek out to Mars Hill again I would definitely come back.

55Lovely spot! As others have mentioned - there are horses and with horses come horse poo - a delicacy for some dogs. Mine certainly enjoyed snacking and rolling in it! They enjoyed their baths after much less, but well worth the effort for the wonderful time they had frolicking! My only complaint is that in some spots the fence is more of a suggestion than a true barrier, so I will leave a long line on my more escape probe pooches. Overall though - we had a fantastic time and they wore themselves out running up and down the hills and trails.

55This is a great spot with some open play areas and some short trails as well as two horses (who were secured in the stable). The dogs had a blast here, running around smelling everything and going on the trails. They were a bit scared of the horses so they didn’t go near them much. There is horse poop around but my dogs weren’t very interested in it thankfully. I recommend wearing rain boots or muck boots especially if it’s been raining. Barbara was very nice, she greeted us when we arrived. I highly recommend checking out Barbara’s spot :)
