55Everything great as usual! Thank you!
55A wonderful spot! Our dogs love the view of the horses too!
55George 🦮 & Oliver 🐕 here. We ALWAYS loooove coming here!!! Off leash running & sniffing, splashing water fun, tree parcour, most important shade 🌳 🌳 and chairs 🪑🪑for our dad 👴 to sit down.
55We loved our visit at Pibble Hill. My Jack couldn’t have asked for a better place to wander and sniff to his heart’s content. P.S. Trish is an excellent trainer if you need help with your pup! She knows what dogs need.
55My dog had a great time, and the spot is beautiful!
55Pups had a great time.
55This is my first time visiting and using a Sniff Spot and I couldn’t be happier! My dogs loved it and wore themselves out! Trish’s place is just perfect and I’m so glad that she’s willing to do this for us fur parents that don’t have access to a place for their babies to run and sniff off leash and be safe. Thank you!!! Dixie, Fender and I will definitely be back soon!!
55This Sniffspot is wonderful - peaceful and beautiful for me - and interesting and engaging for my pup! Clean, well-loved, with lots of amenities. Clear and easy directions. Perfect visit all the way around. Very appreciative
55My dog had an amazing time! They even put out a splash pad for her which was wonderful on a hot day!
55Our favorite sniff spot!

“i have two horses and two goats - they may be in the adjoining pasture or across the road. you may also see my chickens or cats at a great distance. There is at least one empty pasture between the sniff spot and my animals, so your dog would have to jump two fences to have access to them. If your dog jumps 4 foot fences, this is not the spot for you.”

Description

Welcome to Pibble Hill! 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 wild turkeys, rabbits and deer may also visit. My neighbor has a friendly small dog who is sometimes out in their fenced yard, but she is usually good about bringing him in if someone is in the sniff spot. There is a nice hill to tire everyone out, and a pretty view of my little farm. If you sit at the top and throw balls down the hill your dogs will get very tired! There is a trash can, bags, picnic table, a swing, a table and chairs, a fire pit chairs, a splashing trough, a dog toy box, and a hose. You can pull right in through the double red gates and close them behind you, to leave my neighbors room to drive past. This will also ensure your dogs don't escape from the sniff spot when you open the car doors. There is a large horse water trough, feel free to dump it and refill it if you need to (and if you're strong enough!) Please have fun with the dog toys - if your dog tears one up just toss out the stuffing or pieces. That's just what dogs do! I'm recovering from surgery (May/June 2026) so I'd appreciate it if you'd do an extra walk around before you leave to double check for poop - it's a bit hard for me to climb the hill just yet.

Cleanliness

99% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

There may be wildlife poop and I occasionally let my horses and goats graze there (not in winter). There are usually some sticks lying around that have blown down from the trees. There's also a fire pit but we only use it at night so it won't be hot. Let me know if you would like to make a fire of your own!

Additional rules

Please pick up poop (bags and can provided). You're welcome to use the dog toys, whether they're in the toy box or scattered around the hill. Please stick to your designated arrival and departure times so I can have my animals and dog training clients out of the way. You are welcome to drive into the spot and park there before you close the gate. (It’s safer and you don’t have to worry about blocking the neighbor’s driveway) There is a small livestock tank for splashing, and a hose to refill it if you need to. There is also an electrical outlet on the pole if you need to charge your phone. There is also a fire pit and logs, you may need to bring some kindling if you'd like a fire.

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.

Hidden River Private Dog Park in Swannanoa, NC

Fully Fenced
0.17 acres

We are back in action after the flood and the Swannanoa Valley where we are located is as beautiful as ever. I'm happy for our four legged friends to enjoy again our large, flat grassy fenced in area for unleashed dogs on a 20 acre farm and wedding venue (Hidden River Events) next to the Swannanoa River. Parking is just outside the fence on the grass. There is a large deck with seating for relaxing while your pup(s) play. If it has rained within 24-48 hours of your visit, the spot may be muddy (even though it is a grass pasture) so it is good to bring towels for your pup. The fenced area has no trees so, there is an umbrella provided. If you use it, make sure to close it before you depart. This is a large farm and the distance from the sniff spot to the river is a good ways. You are welcome to walk your dog on a leash to the river if you don't see any other dogs on the property or an event going on. In 2026, we are not having a lot of weddings un late August through mid-November, so you should be good to enjoy the river. If you have questions about where to walk to go to the river or if it's ok to enjoy more than the sniffspot itself, please text me at 828-458-5740. Horses and goats reside in their own fully contained pastures on the property away from the Sniff Spot. We have donkeys now as well. Donkeys are not like horses. Donkeys have the fight reflex, so do not allow your animals to get in the fenced in area with the donkeys. A donkey can kill a dog, easily. There is a water bucket on site to refill a water bowl if the bowl is empty when you arrive. There is water in the barn. We try to keep it filled, but sometimes miss it. Feel free to leash your dog and take him/her down to the river to play while you are on your visit.

Kelly's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Candler

Fully Fenced

We have over an acre, fully fenced. Pull right up to the marked gate by the out building and go right in. Tall trees provide shade and there is seating. Our dog Oliver shares his toys and we keep a doggy waste station available for easy cleanup. We live in the house on the property with our 2 dogs but want to share our spacious yard with others. The doggy pool is out in warm weather and is filled with filtered water. Please do not come early as our dogs are in the yard between bookings, and please leave on time. We do a lot between visits to get the yard ready for the next guest, and also our dogs enjoy checking pee mails. Leaving 2-3 minutes late, or later, puts us behind schedule and we are typically booked back to back all day.

Fully Fenced

This is the best dog park in all of Buncombe County! Have you ever wanted to run your dog on three football sized flat fields? This is your chance. Located behind UPM Raflatac Warehouse in the cane creek industrial park this huge spot is the third one we have built. It’s perfect for all ages of dogs and their humans because of the terrain! If you are up for an adventure, we have cut in a small trail to access Cane Creek. It is part of the same property but is NOT fenced in any way. If your pup enjoys off or on leash hikes, then feel free. The trail is outside the fencing look for the silver gate across from the Gazbo. It is an out and back path with two small hills about a 3-5min walk in the woods. A picnic table, gazebo with swing, and hammock are located here for lots of seating and shelter. Some toys are provided. I think a Remote Control car or a drone, a mountain bike might be really fun to bring or even a Remote Control plane. This spot is actually part of the old Fletcher airport. No Digging! PLEASE! All I want in life is to help people to have balanced dogs in their lives! Enjoy!
