Charlottesville is nestled at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. This dog-friendly town makes an ideal base for exploring the beauty of the area with your four-legged friend. You can all make yourselves at home in one of several dog-friendly hotels or apartments, including Hilton, Marriott, and Holiday Inn options. Your leashed dog is allowed to enjoy the hiking trails at Crabtree Falls or in Shenandoah National Park. You can take your best friend to enjoy some off-leash fun and socializing at one of three local dog parks – Darden Towe Dog Park, Azalea Dog Park, and Chris Greene Lake Park. Your dog may also join you for a wine tasting at Carter Mountain Orchard, beer tasting at Blue Mountain Brewery, or a meal at the local dog-friendly restaurants.
