55A beautiful place for fun and freedom for the mountain pups! A gorgeous mountain view and slopes for them to run on. A nice mountain trail for dog zoomies!! Wasn't worried about the dogs going very far because of terrain and the trees.
55Beautiful hilly field for the pups to do some running in :) they had lots of fun
55Honestly the area was really hard for me to find but it was well worth it once we were there. My dog absolutely loves being off leash and being in a field he could run around is absolutely unbeatable! We are thankful that we have people like these hosts to let us do this
55Great spot!!
55Such a great property with so many sniffs! We spent about 15 minutes walking to the field because my dog had to smell EVERYTHING. He’s exhausted!! And the host is very responsive and communicative. Highly recommend!
55Cedar enjoyed running up the hill for fetch! Also lots to smell!
55This is a great place to let the dogs run. There is a field, a little creek and some woods. Our dogs had a great time chasing the ball, exploring the creek and sniffing all the smells
35Pretty scenery but hay field is multi-purpose use and wasn’t prepared for amount of livestock manure my dogs kept trying to roll in. The host was very understanding and offered a different area on property. Might try the field again at a different time of year.
45It wasn’t supper clear where to go/ what areas you’re allowed in. We left our car window cracked and a cat climbed in and took a nap! Just be aware lol!
55This was the first sniff spot we have taken our dog to and he loved it! Great place to toss a ball up and down the meadow, we really enjoyed the mowed trail along the edge.

Pibble Hill

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

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.

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.

Find me on TheRomeApp.com if you don’t want to buy a subscription. *UPDATE 9/20/25* We are open!! It may not be the same after the storm but it’s still a doggy paradise. *POST HELENE UPDATE 10/13/24* I am so sad to say that the Helene floods have completely destroyed our Sniffspot. We hope to reopen one day but the space will be a completely different place. We are hard at work doing what we can so please check back often. UPDATE 4/11/24* The bugs can get really bad at certain times of year. Mostly gnats around the face and no-see-ums. I do provide bug spray and bug nets that work best when worn with a hat. The worst of the bugs are early spring (April-June). Not fenced but not immediately bordered by anything but forest or field 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. Downstream side of property has an “island” that can be explored. The neighbors property downstream starts shortly free the road narrows between the river and steep bank. It’s usually more overgrown and can visually tell the upkeep is different. Please avoid being on their property. Flood waters make signage difficult to use in this area. Just message me if you need more details on the boundary line.
