55Very helpful and Titan was adorable, dogs had a great time
55The host was incredibly kind and helpful in guiding us to the beautiful trails on property. Titan, the property’s guide dog was very friendly. The space is open, rustic and lovely all around. We look forward to our return!!!
55My dog Marshmallow had an AMAZING time running around at Stoney Brook Farm! We plan to come back!
55This Sniffspot is the best we’ve ever visited! Ryan is wonderful and showed us to the trailheads when we arrived at the property. Our guy had a blast exploring and we did too. The property is alive and diverse - lots to see. Book with confidence!
55This place was so amazing! Very easy to find the property, and while we missed the area to park initially, Ryan met us in the driveway and showed us where to park and walked us to the main intersection of the trails to begin. All of the trails were marked with red tape and were easy to follow. The creek was dry when we visited so we used that as a trail too! We saw chickens and ducks and a turkey, which made my dog jump when it gobbled 😂 We looped around the property a few times during our 2 hours, and my golden was exhausted by the end of it from all the new smells. We will definitely be back!
55Lovely place. My dogs enjoyed romping through the creek and woods! We will absolutely be back.
55This was a perfect stop for Rosie and I on our cross-country trip. The trails are marked by red ribbons and are not too long so we looped around them once or twice (Rosie ran off leash and it really tuckered her out). There is a small creek. We went during the winter so the leaves were on the ground and the trees were bare. That helped us wander around a bit more. Ryan met us and showed us where to park and gave us a small tour. We will definitely swing back around when we drive back! Put on your hiking boots, it can get muddy through the woods! =)
55We had a great time! We stopped by Stoney Brook Farm on our way to visit family, and it was the perfect spot for Rilo to decompress in the woods after a long car ride. Ryan and his wife were so helpful in making sure we found the place. Our pup loved playing in the stream and romping around the many trails.
55Finding it was tricky, but ironically it was Tyson the farm's dog who found us. Ryan was kind when meeting us and showing us where the trails began. The property is beautifully wooded with marked trails. We had an amazing hike, and my pup loved the off leash time. I bought some chicken and duck eggs as well! We'll be back after we get moved closer to the area.
55We always have a great time here! It’s the perfect spot to wander through the woods and escape into nature with my pup. Very convenient to get to and the trails are well marked. This is our favorite Sniffspot!

Description

A 26 acre forest oasis with a stream sometimes flowing through the center. Over a mile of flagged, cleared trails for you and your pooch to get some exercise and lots of interesting sniffs! Stoney Run, a small stream, traverses the property, and is accessible from several trail locations. As a circuit you will walk over a couple of miles just on the trail. The rest of the 26 acres is also free to roam, but typically tree covered. The farm animals are fenced in an acre area. Our dogs can easily be put inside and our Pyrenees detained, if your pooch isn’t interested or ready for that sort of interaction. Typically our big guy, Titan, is a wonderful part of our visiting dog’s experience. But that will be left entirely up to you. You can hit the trails and chase some squirrels. Our beautiful, forested Shenandoah Valley parcel will be yours to sniff about freely.

I’m a biologist. My wife is a nursing instructor at a nearby community college. Someone is almost always here at our farm. We have a fairly large tract of beautiful woodlands that we would like to share with you and your pooch(es). We have lots of cleared 4wheeler trails, over a mile worth, that are waiting for you. There are tons of squirrels to chase if your doggy is into that!! And lots and lots to sniff!

Hello! My name is Katie and we are so excited to offer our yard space to your furry best friend. My family has lived in an apartment the last two years while house hunting in Crozet, and we have learned how difficult it is to have dogs without access to a yard. Now that we are settling into our new home, we are excited to offer our space for afternoon fetch, morning zoomies, and just lounging in the sunshine. Animals just make the world a better place. You will always have complimentary access to our hammock and swing gazebo but the use of the Solo Stove is an additional fee. Please review our add ons before booking and please text me with any questions you have 571-205-8470. Come enjoy some nature time in our yard in Crozet. :) Arrival Notes: When you arrive you can park anywhere on our gravel drive away. The gate to the right of the house that goes into our garden is where you will enter. Our sunflowers are dead and an eye sore right now, but I’m letting the birds and squirrels finish up their feast of seeds. This “holding” area in the garden gives you a chance to triple check there are no lingering guests or animals in the yard. Once you are in our backyard please shut the gate behind you. Most guests enjoy hanging out in the firepit area where there are hammock swings and seating. Along the fence, you will see a spot for water, toys, and other things I thought you may need. We ask that guests not utilize our small deck near the house, so that our dogs don’t bark and disturb their stay! So far all of our guests have come a second time, so if you end up booking again, I’d love any feedback on how to make your visit extra special. Anyway, that is all for now, thanks again and enjoy the sunshine!! ~Katie
