Info provided by host

Note from host

Wire fencing in back that we used for foster puppies over the winter. It’s not tough enough for dogs who are determined to escape, but is tall enough to contain all but the most skilled jumpers.

Location

Charlottesville, Virginia

Description

Come explore our private, dog-friendly hillside five houses over the city limits of Charlottesville. We’ve got a little over 2 acres, with a mix of open yard, shaded woods, and a trail down to Moore’s Creek. The main area is a large, steep hill that’s perfect for dogs who love to run and fetch (and great for humans who prefer to stay at the top while the pup does the work)! There’s also a small fenced-in spot behind the house, accessed by a short, steep path—flat and sunny, ideal for a quick off-leash break. Our property is steep overall, with just a small flat area near the house and creek. There is a trail that leads to a small, flat area near the creek if your dog likes water. Just across the creek is the Rivanna Trail. The rest of the property near the creek is wild and mostly inaccessible, but the woods and hill offer plenty of space to roam. We don’t currently have pets, but occasional dog walkers pass by on the gravel road. Dogs on the Rivanna Trail across the creek can sometimes be seen or heard, but our spot feels quiet and tucked away. We hope to see you soon!

Hazards

HOST NOTE

Steep hill and uneven ground in many places on the woods trail. The creek access is pretty easy for dogs, and for humans requires walking down a steep sandy bank.

My home is located conveniently close to Massanutten Resort and Brix and Columns vineyard. There are friendly cats on the property, and they do not typically have any issues with dogs. They may try to interact with you, but feel free to shoo them away. With advanced request I can attempt to contain them for the duration of your visit, but this is not a guarantee.
