Description

Give your dog the freedom to run, sniff, and explore 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. 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. Guests also have access to fresh water and a clean indoor bathroom, which makes longer visits easy and comfortable. 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 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.

Ally's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Staunton

Fully Fenced

1 acre

Beautiful scenic spot just outside of Staunton! This mostly level space offers lots of options for your fur family. An acre of fully fenced in yard, an additional acre of open field (fenced on 2 sides only) with large trees, and a shallow river access that’s great for swimming and playing! The fenced in portion of yard also has kids play equipment available, rocking chairs, and a porch swing. A small picnic table with umbrella is also available for use. We do have neighbors, but because we sit further back than other houses, our yard offers a lot of privacy with woods and a field surrounding us. We often have squirrels, birds, rabbits, deer, turkeys, and geese roaming around! Your pets will enjoy the space to run, river access, and unlimited water! And you will enjoy the beautiful views and shade trees! ****NOTICE***** THE CREEK ACCESS WILL CONTINUE TO BE AVAILABLE, HOWEVER, THE WEED AND GRASS MAINTENANCE WILL CEASE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE DUE TO OWNER INJURY. I WILL BE UNABLE TO KEEP UP THIS AREA AS I TYPICALLY DO. SO PLEASE BE AWARE IT MAY BE OVERGROWN AND DIFFICULT TO ACCESS UNTIL AT LEAST SEPTEMBER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING!!!
