55What an absolute gem! We visited two days in a row and each time was better than the last. Nestled in the hills on a working farm our dogs had a huge area to run, play and explore. I can’t wait for our next visit when we’re in Charlottesville again! Susie L.

55This farm remains my absolute favorite place to take my dog — the enclosed pastures are huge and beautiful and so peaceful. Be aware that sheep and goats and horses etc etc do use these fields when dogs aren’t there, so bring your boots. And, if your dog is a roller like mine, be ready to give a bath afterwards 😂 so much joy here it is really worth a visit. Danielle F.

55My girls had a fantastic time, the sniffs were over the top and the area to play is fenced in very securely. We will definitely be back! Michelle labeled each area clearly, had poop bags and water available (the water isn’t perfectly clean but my golden soaked in it and drank it without issue🤣). Great spot for dogs to be dogs and for people to enjoy nature and their dogs. Christine N.

55Currently, my dog is fast asleep from a morning of running around a pasture at Michelle’s place! This was our first time and won’t be our last! The communication on directions to our pasture was spot on and had no issues with finding it after speaking with Michelle, who is so personable! It was also great exercise for myself as I walked the pasture with my dog. Do recommend wearing shoes you don’t mind getting dirty as you are truly in a farm pasture-which just adds to the adventure.Sara G.

55This farm is gorgeous and so much fun for dogs and owners! Bring a backpack, and explore the fenced ten acre lot! Our dogs are in Heaven here. You can rest assured that your dogs are contained and they can run and play without fear of getting loose. Michele is such a great host and will come introduce herself during your stay. This farm is so peaceful, we hate to leave! We are so grateful for Michele’s farm as it allows our dogs to run free in a large space we unfortunately do not have at home.Courtney P.

55Michele was very friendly and her farm is beautiful! The pasture is a huge amount of fenced space and even included a wooded area that our dog loved to run around in and explore. It is very hilly so we might look for a flatter place to play fetch, but we will definitely be back to Michele’s farm to sniff, explore, train recall, and enjoy the beautiful views and farm animals.

55The pups are sleeping contentedly at my feet because they had an amazing time this morning running around and sniffing everything/everywhere. We felt safe and secure in the 100% fenced in pasture. The spring water available was a perfect thirst quencher. We also had the pleasure of chatting with Michele and learning a bit about her beautiful farm. We are grateful for the time and space to stretch our legs. A nice departure from walking the neighborhood leashed! Thank you! We’ll be back!😊Wendy G.

55What a great find! The securely fenced areas are a great size to wander with your pup with a mix of open pasture and trees with plenty of shade. My dog loved all the new smells and running around off-leash. Michelle is very warm and welcoming and lets you and your pup enjoy the space. What a treat! We’ll definitely be back. Grace J.

55We had another great visit to the farm! My dog had fun running through the pasture and smelling all the smells. Nice secure fence, huge pasture, and a variety of terrain to explore. Also it’s a fun bonus to see the goats and sheep in the other pastures. Zoe R.

55This was our second time visiting the farm! We were in another pasture, and it was (as always) 100% safe and fenced in! Our dogs always have a great time here and it is so worth the hour drive from Harrisonburg to come visit! Grace S.

55Michele’s spot is absolutely beautiful! My GSP and I enjoyed several laps around the huge field. I love how half is wooded and half is grassy, rolling hills. Loved watching my pup run around and explore, and stop to point at all the surrounding farm animals. Such a peaceful place! We will definitely be back. Kiana D.

55Fabulous spot! The pasture we were assigned was gorgeous: Rolling hills with tons of shade and endless smells and obstacles for the dogs — they had such an amazing time! There were 2 loose LDGs barking along the front fenceline at first, so we simply walked further into the field below the fold and they seemed to lose interest. Our dogs were so busy exploring they ignored them without issue. Recommend without reservation & hope to visit again soon! Alena M.

Real-time availability shows on each listing—perfect for last-minute training or when routines get disrupted.
What's the best time to visit dog hiking trails in Earlysville?
Any time works since bookings are private! Unlike public dog parks in Earlysville that are crowded during peak hours (mornings, evenings, weekends), you don't worry about timing. Book when it fits YOUR schedule—midday when it's quiet, dawn for cool weather, late evening for convenience. Many Earlysville dog hiking trails have lighting for after-dark visits. This flexibility is perfect for shift workers or dogs with special needs.
Do Earlysville dog hiking trails allow multiple dogs?
Yes! Most Earlysville dog hiking trails welcome multiple dogs from the same household. Some hosts set limits (check listings), but generally you can bring your whole pack. This is perfect for multi-dog households in Earlysville where some dogs are selective—they can play together privately without outside interference. Great for sibling bonding or families with mixed ages/temperaments.
Can I use Earlysville dog hiking trails for special events?
Many Earlysville dog hiking trails welcome doggy birthday parties, training workshops, breed meetups, or group playdates. Private bookings mean your event won't be interrupted. Coordinate with Earlysville hosts about capacity, amenities (parking, shade, water), and any restrictions. Some even provide party extras. Check individual Earlysville dog hiking trail listings for event policies.
How do Earlysville dog hiking trails accommodate dogs with special needs?
Earlysville dog hiking trails are excellent for special needs dogs because you can filter for specific requirements: flat terrain for mobility issues, secure fencing for blind/deaf dogs, quiet locations for anxious dogs, small spaces for seniors, or maximum privacy for reactive dogs. Read reviews from other Earlysville special-needs dog owners, and contact hosts with questions. The private setting means you can adapt the experience to your dog's unique requirements.
