Rent the best private dog parks hosted by locals in Nelson, British Columbia

Denise’s spot was perfect!! The yard was clean and tidy and she had a fresh bucket of water out for the dogs. Thank you!

Perfect! The host was lovely and the space was perfect for our dogs. We appreciated having a place to sit and some toys for Kevin and Ada Mae to play with. Looking forward to coming back!

Wow! This place is amazing. A friend recommended it to us a few days ago. We almost cancelled because it was raining a little but decided to just go anyways. The owner is so sweet and greeted us upon getting there. She led us to the gate and pointed out the way to go. This property is a dream. We didn’t let our dog off leash but did bring a long line and let him go explore. If your dog had good recall they would be totally fine running off leash. There is one big hill at the beginning but totally manageable. We put the long line on our dog and let him just run ahead a little so he wouldn’t pull us down. We will definitely be going back! Thank you so much for opening up your place to us! It was so good for our dog and us to get out and not have to worry about other dogs. 

Wow- this spot is immaculate! It is large, private, securely fenced, beautiful, and well groomed. The trails are perfect for running and playing with your pup, and the exciting features of the lot are enough to keep you and your pup entertained for hours. I felt extremely secure with my semi reactive dog. Grace went above and beyond as a host, with a very adorable welcome and easy to follow instructions. My tired pup and I could not recommend this spot enough! 

We had so much fun at this sniff spot! Our dogs ran and played the whole hour! There was plenty of places to sit and relax but it was also so much fun to explore with the dogs. The owner was one of the sweetest hosts ever and provided us with extra poop bags!

A lovely sniffspot! Lots of different areas to sniff and explore. Also, we really appreciated all the clearly marked parking/walking areas as well as the sweet welcome sign for me and my dog! One thing to note is the fencing is not 100% fenced (a few gaps here and there) and it has gaps within it, so if you have an escape artist or need a super secure fence, this may not be the best option. I have a dog with high prey drive and was worried about the goats/horse but they are very secure in a separate space and you're dog will be on-leash as you walk by them. Once we got into the sniffspot my dog didn't pay any attention to the smell of the dogs. My dog is terrified of gunshots/fireworks and we did hear some gun shots while we were there, but it was VERY faint and sounded more like distant construction. Did not startle my dog, so if you have a similar issue you should be fine.

Such a great space. Lots of room to run and very secure. My dogs loved it and it was so relaxing for us. 

Had an amazing time with my pup  Daisy and her dog friend I am babysitting. The sniffspot sign on the outside of the property made it really easy to find. Also parking was clearly marked.  Upon entry the owner had a sign welcoming me and my dog and her friend to the property which was an amazing thoughtful touch. The owner is incredibly nice and personable and you can clearly tell she absolutely loves animals.   The property was amazing and quite. Nice path into the woods. You will find a private stream and many different paths into the property where you can find nice benches to sit and rest while letting your dog sniff and play. Highly recommend and will be back! 

Grace is a kind host and made My dog and I feel welcome. My dog loved running through the woods in a safe fenced in area! 

The dogs had a blast at this spot. The creek and mud was their favorite part 😆 Will definitely be back! 

Lovely spot with tons of room for exploring! If you’re looking to wear out your pup with a ball, this is the place, there’s quite a few spots to sit and throw with a chucka. Super easy to find and park thanks to Grace’s signs. She’s a perfect host. We had a great time walking through the trees. Next time we’ll bring a picnic to enjoy by the creek. 

The mini forest is awesome! It was easy to find this Sniffspot and I appreciated the welcoming signage-nice to know as a first timer that I am on the right property. The land itself is lovely-plenty of room for the dogs to run and their human to hike around. There is even a little creek, which my water crazy golden retriever loved. We will definitely return to this spot.

The rain held off today, and Dog had the best time chasing sticks, perfecting his zoomies, and splashing in the creek. It's his happy place!

Our host, Grace, welcomed us and sent us on our way with clear directions about the property.  My Dane and her cousin (also a Dane) had a marvelous time.  It is very hard to find a property with acreage that is fully fenced; I highly recommend this Spot for large dog owners.  Mina and Rocky had a blast playing hide-and-seek and chase in the ferns and terrain.  I can’t speak to how this Spot would be for small dogs but for our giant breeds, it was heaven on earth.  What a special treat on a gorgeous autumn day!

Perfect spot to take a couple of pups who need to get their energy out. Nice mix of walking paths and open areas to play fetch. We will definitely be back!

This is our favorite spot. We love coming to relax in nature. Our pup has the best time running and exploring. Our hosts are always so generous and hospitable. Grace makes us feel very welcomed each time we come.

Grace is one of the most welcoming hosts one could ask for! With a parking spot and trash can and a cute welcome sign! I highly recommend this spot!!

Another great visit - dogs never want to leave. It’s nice because it’s fenced for goats so I feel good my dogs will stay in, then they just roam, sniff, explore, play fetch. It’s a beautiful place for me to relax too!

The mini forest is an outstanding SniffSpot. Fully fenced with a creek and plenty of room to run around for dogs and their humans. This was our second visit and we will be back for more.  

We’ve been a to few SniffSpots and this is by far the best one! It’s huge with so much room for you dog(s) to explore! We hiked all around and absolutely love it! The dogs drank out of the creek. They definitely didn’t want to leave. We are definitely coming back to this place as many times as we can.
