Location

Amherst, Virginia

Description

This is a beautiful spot for dogs. A quiet State Road runs along one edge of the property, but the woods throughout the property are the real draw. Lots of natural space to explore. When it rains, there is a stream that runs through. There are many footpaths through the woods for your dog to explore, but feel free to make new paths. The barbed-wire borders of the property are well marked by ribbons and paint, except for the road frontage.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

Some areas are muddy, and storms often bring down branches, so watch your step. There is barbed wire along the orange-tagged border. Barbed wire appears occasionally throughout the property. A long time ago, this was a cow farm, and there are reminders of that history throughout the property. More recently, I believe they operated a commune here, and there are signs of that as well. The trails are flat but rugged, and you and your dog are welcome to go off the path into zone 4 and 5 terrain. Vines, roots, and other walking hazards may be present. The property inclines gently towards an intermittent creek that runs along the middle of the property, which doubles as a wonderful path when dry. It appears after a heavy rain and disappears in a dry spell.

Welcome to our spot! We have a lovely gated area approx 2.5-3acres, but also for our off leash friends we do have amazing woods behind the gated area that lead to a creek! We are currently working to trail that off not only for our kids and dogs but to be able to accommodate our guest. When you arrive here, we want you to feel at home, let us know anything you may need or want beforehand that we can provide! We have a large deck with outdoor furniture that you have access to, fire pit, children's toys, drinks and snacks available for if you have little ones and don't worry we'll also have adult accommodations! Dog toys are a given, can't have a playdate without toys! Raised water bowls are also located on the deck and can be moved wherever or bowls removed for smaller dogs. And our 3 will be off premises for your arrival!
