55Nice to have a place for our dogs to run around. My dog is obsessed with balls. The upper portion is flatter to throw the ball. The rest they can run around to investigate. It is as described. There is some plant growth around the bottom but plenty of room to explore.Brigid R.

55It was a great private place to let my very high energy dog run. It was just really hard to sit as the picnic table and the entire parcel is on a pretty good incline.
I would definitely go back though. Super easy and private. Steph M.

55The space was great! The host was very responsive and accommodating. We were worried it would rain on us and the host said she would adjust our time if we needed to come at a different time (and no one was occupying the space). The dogs loved the room to run in the leaves and I loved that there was an incline to tire them out a bit more. The host asked for feedback about the space, which I also liked. It’s a pretty basic space overall, but so great to let your dogs off leash to run. We loved it!Jenna S.

55Great space! With such a tiny dog, I worry about little Chaco escaping, so I was relieved when the fence was secure all around. The picnic table and poop bags were a great touch. Chaco loved hopping around in the leaves; we will definitely be back!Elisabeth R.

55Needed a safe space for our two GSP’s to run and get some energy out during our vacation. Our pups are not used to being on lead all the time. This area provided just that. Plenty of room for them to roam. Full fenced in and clean from other pups debris. Next time we visit, we will book several times over!!!! Star S.

55What a gem! We were so lucky to be able to stop by on Christmas Day, during a brief break from the rain. Thankful to the host for accommodating us with a delay. Loved the space, the picnic table, and plenty of space for sniffs and zoomies!Dasha K.

55Nice open area to take your pups. Poop bags were provided, trash cans are not. Fencing was perfect, no holes so we had no worries, which allowed my friend and I to have a perfect doggy play date! Elizabeth W.

55The park is beautiful surrounded by trees. Gracie definitely had a fun time. My only suggestion to dog owners is to bring some bug spray or citronella as it was very buggy this time of year. Debra communicated everything very well! We will definitely go back. Danielle C.

55This is amazing for a pup like mine who isn’t keen on other dogs and over stimulates easily. It’s quiet and completely fenced in. Easy access to enter. She had an amazing time! Thank you! We’re making this our once a week spot! (Brush in some spots are high as owner states in post be aware of footing) Cheyanne W.

55My husband and I were on vacation in Blue Ridge and we brought our two pups to run around freely after many leashed hikes! They absolutely LOVED it. The directions to the park were clear and helpful and the amenities were great. The park had available poop bags and a bench for us to sit on. It was very clean and well shaded. 10/10 recommend!

55We stopped here to let my puppy stretch his legs on our way to our cabin rental for the week. Nice space on a hillside, not too hard to find following provided directions. Megan M.

55Really enjoyed this private dog park, it was exactly as described and my dog had a wonderful time just running around, sniffing and was just overall happy. The area was completely fenced and safe for dogs. Also Debra was great at communicating, she responded to my message pretty quick. Miguel G.

55The pups had a wonderful time. I'm glad I brought plenty of water for them as they played so hard. Next time, I'll bring a camp chair for me. There is a lovely picnic table, but given the slant, I had a hard time using it. Jayne C.

FAQ about our Blue Ridge dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
