55Great location! Easy drive from Charlottesville and easy to find. Lots of space for my dog to run and he loved trying out the obstacles.
55First time using SniffSpot and this was a great property! Our dogs loved it and they left tuckered out!
55Always a great time!
55This was great!! The host was super kind and came to say hi! The dogs also loved the wide open space and deck to lay on, I’ll definitely be back!
55Amazing! Gorgeous property with a good sitting area and huge fenced in yard for our Pyrenees to run in. We are on vacation and this is just what she needed. Owner communicated well and was very very kind! Thank you!!!
55Such a relaxing environment, just what we needed to get away from stimulants. The host is so welcoming. Roxy had plenty to explore and then rest when she was ready. We will definitely return.
35Unfortunately we didn’t get chance to try this spot, host didn’t respond on time and I couldn’t see the fence behind bushes and trees. I have two escape artists and fence didn’t look secure enough for us. Back yard was overgrown I couldn’t really walk or see the all back fence. I saw dead tree laying on fence and made me worry about shallow spot there…..We got disappointed and left. Host offered to come back and try again but we are way gone and won’t be back probably till fall…..So disappointed…our lost we can’t get a refund from Sniffspot 😞
55Exactly what we needed, also noticed you can rent the spot out for camping and thought it was pretty cool. Very nice property and taken care of.
55Great space, very private, room to run and lots of shade.
55Favorite Sniffspot definitely worth every penny

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

“We have a couple of Great Pyrenees who stay up near our home, which is not visible from the Sniffspot area. They wear Halo collars and are trained to stay out of the Sniffspot space. While it would be very rare, if they ever wandered nearby, they are extremely friendly. They cannot access the fully fenced area where you and your dog will be, so your visit will remain safe and private.”

Description

Give your dog the freedom to run, sniff, explore and play in a private fully fenced field in the countryside. This Sniffspot offers a peaceful space where dogs can safely enjoy off-leash play while their owners relax nearby. The field features open grassy areas perfect for fetch and zoomies, along with trees and natural edges where dogs love to explore and sniff. And we’ve recently added a few agility obstacles to play on! For owners, there is a large private deck with tables and shade, making it a comfortable place to sit and watch your dog play. A grill and fire pit area are also available if you’d like to relax and spend more time outdoors. The space is ideal for dogs that need room to run, training sessions, or multi-dog households looking for a safe private play area. Multiple dogs are welcome. Future additions may include more dog enrichment features as we continue improving the space. ⸻ Amenities Fully fenced field Large grassy play area Trees and natural sniff areas Private deck (fully fenced) with seating and shade Grill available Fire pit area Fresh water available Indoor bathroom access Multiple dogs welcome

Hi, I’m Dawn! Our SniffSpot was created as a peaceful, private retreat for dogs and their owners. With a fully fenced space, shaded areas, water access, and a relaxing deck with seating, it’s designed to feel more like a getaway than just a dog run. We’ve recently added a couple of agility obstacles and tennis balls, just for some extra fun! We love providing a clean, safe environment where dogs can truly decompress, explore, and have fun—while owners can relax and enjoy the space just as much.
