55Perfect place to let the dogs run in a gorgeous fenced pasture. Absolutely breathtaking!!
55I have a small reactive dog with tracheal collapse. He needs a place he can run off leash and not see things that make him bark a lot. We were in the Lake Land pasture, which was great as the sheep had eaten the pasture way down. Good for my dog as he has very short legs. Very big and securely fenced. Lincoln walked the perimeter and ran up and down the center. He was pooped after 30 minutes! And such a beautiful place!
55We stayed at Lake Land Pasture right up until the last minute of our two-hour reservation; it was THAT much fun. We always leave Michele’s filled with so much joy and many good memories of our romps—so grateful for you and your beautiful property, Michele, and we will surely see you soon. 🙏🫶
55Remarkable place with great views. Lots of farm animals and working dogs in other fields. They have 17 fields and we we assigned to the Pool Pasture. Drove in and it was all ours. It was a huge field with a shade tree and woods to the back of the field. Amazing 👏 we can't wait to book again. Easy to book, communicate and access.
55We love Michele's Sniff Spot almost as much as our dogs. You cannot see the end of the fenced property in the woods from the entrance. We are all getting plenty of exercise. This is one of our regular go-to spots in Charlottesville. Convenient location.
55very cool spot and responsive host. thanks so much for letting us visit! we'd love to come back, the pups had a great time:)
55Great place for a dog
55Very tall grass stole a few tennis balls but still had a blast! The host was very friendly and it’s a beautiful property.
55By far my favorite Sniff Spot! Each visit is unique, the views are spectacular, the pastures are enormous, and everything is super well organized!
55The farm is beautiful. This visit we were able to try a different field than last time and amazingly loved it even more than the first. If we lived closer, we would come back to experience them all. Each one seems to be an adventure all its own. My dog had the best time.
