Hiking in North Carolina

Welcome to Dog Training Vacation!

Nestled in the mountains just outside of charming Brevard, North Carolina, the land of Waterfalls, lies the ultimate dog and owner vacation. Stay in a guest house or lovely cabin on Black Knob, at altitudes of 3000 feet, with thousands of acres of forest surrounding you. Relax in the beauty of the forest and enjoy the slow pace of the Western North Carolina mountains.

Bring your family and best friend for a week to explore this beautiful area with optional training sessions for you and your dog available. You are centrally located to all the great places in this area.

The gateway to the Pisgah National Forest with its 157,000 acres of forest and its hundreds of miles of hiking trails lies just below. At the top of the Forest road lies the Blue Ridge Parkway with high altitudes of over 6400 feet and some of the most beautiful sights on the entire parkway. On the other side of you is the Dupont State Forest with 10,000 acres of trails and stunning waterfalls.

Within minutes lies the city of Asheville with its historic downtown and the Biltmore Estate. In the opposite direction are the quaint towns of Hendersonville and Lake Lure. Head south and the road takes you over to Caesar's Head State Park in South Carolina. Yet another way will lead you to Lake Toxaway and further on to the towns of Highlands and Cashiers.

There are many great activities in the Brevard area such as world-class trout fishing, hiking, rock climbing, rafting, river tubing, horseback riding, and mountain biking. The Western Mountains of North Carolina are known for their hospitality so come and join us in the mountains for the ultimate vacation experience with your best friend.
