55Our 7-month old German shepherd loves playing here.
55Nice yard in the RAD with great dog accommodations- balls, water bowl, shade and sun. Since it’s so close we will be by often!
55Great spot! Perfect amount of space for my pup to run around, she loved all the plants and different types of gravel to sniff around. This was our first time doing a sniffspot, experience was great! Plenty of seating for humans and shade, stone back deck my pup laid on to cool down. Water Bowl and hose to help cool down, balls to throw and play with. We will be back!
55Our puppies enjoyed their play date! Plenty of room to run around. A water bowl was greatly appreciated too.
55Great yard on a big hill! Lots of places for your pup to explore and also great toys. Would definitely recommend:)
55Great, just as advertised.
55Carly’s yard was immaculate and just as pictured. Thoughtful touches like a baggy dispenser, ball toys, and plenty of seating.
55Lovely space!
55Happy to have such a fun Sniffspot in my neighborhood! Lots of things to smell, toys to play with, and space to run around. Perfect spot to stop on a walk to breweries or restaurants!
55The path to the backyard is slightly unleveled and rocky but well-paved. Get passed that so that your pup can enjoy great backyard! My pup had a great time. The fence was secure, and there were dog toys available and access to water. There was also great seating for the parents.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL OF BEARS! I have had a bear in the back yard a few times recently. They jump fences! If you need a better idea of where it is, it's within walking distance of the East Asheville Farmer's Market, Library, Fire Department, and Wells Fargo. I'm also close to Bull Mountain Rd. A few Announcements: While I make every effort to ensure that my roommate and other guests have cleaned up after their dogs, I have occasionally been informed that they have not. So I must now update the description accordingly. I welcome you to partake of my beautiful backyard in a peaceful neighborhood- as long as you are aware it is possible there is occasional dog poo. Also be advised that if you are extremely sensitive to poison ivy, be aware there may be some in some parts of the yard. If your dog is a curious sort, be aware that there is some yard equipment being stored under the deck and this area is open and not blocked off. I cannot anticipate every guest's need, but I am happy to offer my yard for a small fee to those who understand what is being offered. Thank you! Also, if you should happen to encounter my neighbor in the back left of the yard, please be advised he is unfortunately a little senile and has been known to be a nuissance to several of his neighbors. I don't want to scare you off, as we love our yard and will continue using our yard in the ways we see fit. If his (small) dogs come out while you are there, please be careful with your dogs, and please take anything he says with a grain of salt-, he unfortunately sometimes behaves like your classic grumpy old man. We apologize in advance for anything he says and are working on a solution. It may take some time for that to be implemented. Recommendations: 1) Please clean up after your dog. 2) If you book an evening time, be prepared with a flashlight, or know when the sun sets. I have outside lights, but I can't guarantee they will always be on, and they don't illuminate the whole yard. 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.i
