Description

Facebook video for property description! https://www.facebook.com/reel/857593750109937 This is a very quiet place on a country road where your dogs can be off leash and free to explore nature. The full four acres are surrounded by a 5 foot fence and there is a small creek running through the property. There is a wide spot in the creek that is easily the most popular spot for our canine visitors! In the summer, though, the creek dries up until the fall rains come. You can always message us to find out if there is water in the creek before your visit. There are larger fields and open areas for your dogs to practice their retrieving, and there are many paths in the woods for hiking. The beginning of each path is marked with quartz stones to show you the way. You will also find several benches scattered throughout the property so that you can take a load off while your dogs run and play. When it rains the property can be quite wet in some areas, so bring boots and a towel to clean off your muddy (but happy!) dog. There is a full competition size agility field within the four acres. The agility equipment is completely fenced in and will be accessible only to those who have had at least one formal beginner's agility class. This is to keep you and your dog safe and to prevent misuse of the equipment. Please message the host when you book the spot and before your first visit to discuss your agility experience if you are wanting to access the equipment. **I would really like for your first visit to be on a weekend or a Tuesday (my day off) so that I can meet with you to show you some details about the property and discuss parking. After the first visit, book whenever you want! If you absolutely cannot make it these days for your first visit, we can work something out. 🙂

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

It’s the woods! Briars, roots, vines, ticks, wild blackberry bushes, mole holes in some of the open spots, wet areas, poison ivy, creek, swimming hole. Nature! In the summer and in times of drought, the creek does dry up completely due to lack of water feeding from the pond on the property next door. This is unpredictable so if the water being present is important to you, please message us to inquire about the water situation if you think there may be a question about whether or not the creek is running. This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water

I prefer to meet my guests on their first visits
Additional rules

I would like to meet guests before their first visit to show them options for parking and the general lay of the land. Anyone that is interested in using the agility equipment is required to have had at least a beginner's course in agility before being allowed to use the equipment. This is an important safety issue.

The pasture was originally used for goats so there are lots of interesting smells. Picnic table and outdoor furniture for humans or dogs underneath shade trees. Climbing structure. Trash and dog bags available. Entrance is 80 yards away from residence. Minutes from 485/Lawyers Rd - easy to find, easy to get to!

Large Private Fully-Fenced Yard – Shaded, Skyline Views (Oakhurst/Cotswold)

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Large private backyard in 28205 — a spacious in-city yard with mature oak trees providing shade across nearly half the property and open skyline views of downtown Charlotte. With no homes behind the property and one neighboring house currently unoccupied, the yard feels surprisingly open and private despite being close to the city. Ideal for: • Dogs that need room to sprint • Owners looking for private off-leash space • Apartment or small-yard dogs needing extra room Features: • 6’ privacy fencing around the majority of the yard • 4’ fence section along the driveway (not recommended for known escape artists or high jumpers) • Flat, well-maintained grass • Large shaded areas from mature oak trees • No rear neighbors + skyline view • Simple, low-touch access Please Note: • Property is located near an active rail line. Trains pass intermittently every few hours and the whistle can be loud. Most dogs are unbothered, but noise-sensitive dogs may want to consider before booking. • Property includes a rope swing. Use at your own risk. • Dogs must be supervised at all times and waste must be removed. • Please ensure the gate is securely closed when entering and exiting. Spacious. Private. In the city.

Private 5+ Acre Dog Adventure Retreat – Creek, Pond & Trails

Partially Fenced
5 acres

Give your dog the freedom they were meant to have. This private, peaceful property offers over five acres of open land and natural terrain — perfect for dogs who love to run, explore, sniff, splash, and fully engage their senses. Dogs are welcome to roam on or off leash depending on your comfort level. The property is partially fenced at the entrance, with wide-open natural areas beyond — ideal for recall-trained dogs, scent work, hiking-style exploration, or simply letting your dog enjoy being a dog. ✨ What makes this spot special: • Natural pond for water-loving pups • Shaded, shallow creek perfect for splashing and cooling off • Wooded trails and a bamboo thicket that create a unique “mini forest” exploration experience • Rustic barn backdrop that adds charm and extra space to roam • Large open fields for full-speed running and energy release • Abundant natural scents and terrain for enrichment and mental stimulation • Shaded areas throughout the property for breaks and relaxation • Metal entrance gate (lifts slightly to latch securely) for added peace of mind This space is especially great for: • High-energy dogs • Working or scent-driven breeds • Water-loving pups • Owners looking for privacy and a distraction-free environment Instead of a traditional dog park, you’ll find a quiet, nature-filled adventure space where your dog can explore different textures, smells, and landscapes — from open fields to wooded areas to cooling water access. Unwind, explore, and enjoy a calm, private outdoor experience designed for dogs and their people.

We have a dachshund but he had an accident and is paralyzed now so we don’t spend as much time in the yard as we used to. Please pick up your dogs poop if they use the bathroom in the yard.
