55Still one of our favorite places!
55Such a wonderful spot. We loved it so much went went back for a second day in a row! Our pups played and swam so hard the slept the entire 5 hr drive home. We will definitely visit again
55This place is beautiful. My pups played until they couldn't play anymore. The river was cooling and refreshing and have the BIGGEST crayfish I've seen lol
55Mike was really friendly and showed us the property lines. The grass was cut nicely and the river was beautiful. My dog will definitely sleep like a rock tonight.
55We had an amazing time enjoying this fantastic shady river spot. Though the water level was low, our little Cavalier enjoyed wading and chasing leaves. It was the perfect way to spend a hot day!
55Giant sloped field, well maintained, on a lovely stretch of river.
55Great space for dogs to sniff and explore! Mike was very nice and showed us around since it was our first time. Partly fenced, bordered by the river, and there is enough space that I never worried about my dogs running up towards the street. It’s a quiet road anyway, but when you’re by the water you’re completely out of sight of road and it feels very quiet and peaceful. Can’t wait to go back!
55Amazing! Just as pictured- super easy to access, and a great spot to enjoy the river with my pup!
55Great place to cool off on a hot day. Tons of open space and easy water access. Fetch heaven.
55Great spot & host!! Water low enough for large dogs to get to middle of river without being swept away.

Unfenced

I have a lovely piece of land very convenient to both route 29 and route 15 between Culpeper and Charlottesville. I have an invisible fence by PetSafe so if you have a collar and your dog respects the beeps feel free to bring it. I have an outside cat that will keep himself very hidden if the dogs are not cat friendly but if they are he'll probably want to hang out.

Give your dog the freedom to run, sniff, explore and play in a private fully fenced field in the countryside.

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

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!!!
