45Views and scenery were beautiful. Grass area was nice and flat and well-groomed. I only wish the photo of the stream/river was not featured, because it does not exist at this spot. My dogs played on a hot afternoon and were looking forward to a cool dip in the water and it was not there : (
55Always a great experience for me and my rescue boy!!!!!!
55This is a gorgeous property with lots of fenced space for your dog to run and play! Shaggy highly recommends this spot for sniffing.
45This is a well maintained spot. Particularly the grass. And there is poo station, always a plus. However, it is not 100% fenced in. There is a gap at the bottom of the entrance that my dog was able to get out of. Also, the directions stated there was a sign so you knew where to park. There was no sign. I would go back to this spot, but only after the gap is fixed.
55This was a great and absolutely beautiful spot to bring our pups to let some energy out! The only downside was there were a ton of gunshots nearby that scared my anxious little blue heeler lol.
55Awesome visit, as always!!!!!
5510/10! The best sniffspot I've been to in Asheville.
55So wonderful being back at HR Sniffspot this morning. When you're in the mountains, it's not easy to find a secure, flat, freshly-mown lot with picture postcard views!
55This was a perfect.spot for our 7 month old pup Gabe. Lots of sniffing, room to run, his first time chasing a ball in the open. Easy to get to and terrific amenities, thanks Hidden River, we will be regulars.
55We had a really nice time. Great fenced lawn for our dog to chase balls. As mentioned, it is wet from recent rain, but our dog enjoyed that too.

There are two ways of entry to the sniffspot. Before you let your dog in, make sure that no one has left the entrance open on the far side of the pasture. We are a wedding venue and, sometimes, if you are here in the evening, a wedding will be happening, (but not in late December to mid-March, typically). Typically employees are working on the property at all times during the event season. Until the winter, there are available bathrooms next to the tent, which is beside the sniffspot. There is a river on the property that your dogs can visit. Just text me at 828-333-3401 and let me know you are at the sniffspot to find out if it's ok to walk to the river and let your dogs play. If there's a wedding or if other employees have their dogs running loose at the time, I would tell you not to walk to the river. Likewise, if you wish to walk your dog on a leash on the roads around the farm, just text me to find out if that's ok. I like for people to enjoy the gardens, looking at the animals, the river, etc. but have to make sure there is nothing else happening on the farm at the time you are here, if you wish to be outside of the defined sniffspot area.

Location

Swannanoa, North Carolina

Description

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 will 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, please close it before you depart. Horses and goats reside in their own fully contained pastures on the property away from the Sniff Spot.
