The only traffic we saw on this street was a horse and rider. Property has a variety of areas for our dogs to enjoy. Meets the needs of our adventure seeking lab mix and her smaller sister.

Amazing and unique property! My dog had the best time exploring the incredible one acre fenced compound that included a giant rocking horse, teepee tent, recreated mining town buildings and miniature golf course(!) along with a gorgeous log cabin home! Fresh cold water was supplied in a giant cooler — bring your doggie bowl. 💦🐶 Will definitely visit again! 🙌❤️🐾

First time using Sniffspot and this place was amazing! Took my dogs Anna and Avatar as well as Avatars sister for their birthday and they had so much fun running around exploring. Host filled up a kiddie pool for them with water, had water available to drink for the pups and it was safe and clean. I’d highly recommend this spot for its quirky decor, big open space and plenty of areas for your pups to explore

Very nice place to let the dogs run. I was taking a road trip and needed a last minute place to let my high energy dog run. The host was very accommodating and I was able to make a reservation within an hour. My dogs had a great time and the decorations were fun for photo ops.

Very spacious for my big dog to run around and sniff while my friends and I are entertained by the buildings around! The host was kind, especially with the last min delay :)

We enjoyed it. Everything promised was present. Emphasis on Desert. Just wear sneakers. There are a lot of steep slopes.

Such a beautiful space! Plenty of room to launch tennis balls which Rob provided. It had just finished raining a bit but didn’t impact running up and down the hill. Like others have said, wear some comfortable and sturdy shoes! We can’t wait to come back with furiends!

Great space for pups to explore! We had a lovely 30 minute evening on this very secure property. My dogs enjoyed sniffing around the huge boulders and tired themselves out running up and down the slope. Thank you for sharing your unique backyard with the sniff spot community!

Our dogs had the best time exploring Dali Dog’s Desert Oasis. It was a grand adventure for them to be able to run all about and we enjoyed the scenic backyard with all the necessary amenities. We’re looking forward to returning.

Our pups had so much fun!! There were water bowls and toys available, and the space was so fun for them to explore. They loved climbing the rocks, sniffing all the plants and sprinting around. We’ll be back!

We always have a great time here. I love seeing the steady improvements that Katie makes to her beautiful yard. My dogs get such good exercise running up and down the hill. The views are fantastic!

We had a great time here. My dog enjoys getting up on rocks, so it was fun for her and she had plenty of room to sniff and explore. The host was communicative and helpful and the spot was pretty clean (a couple of leftover poops, but it’s a big spot so I totally get that it could be easy to miss). Most of this info the host provided, but in case this info might be helpful to people with reactive dogs who rent SniffSpots to avoid other people/dogs, here it is: Dogs: Heard a dog/s barking from inside twice. On the way out it seemed like the dog was closer/outside (possibly in a deck?) when the dog was barking which made me a little nervous. My dog does fine with other dogs, but I know a lot of dogs who go to SSs wouldn’t do well with that. Other Animals: No other animals visible or audible except lots of little lizards :) People: The fencing is secure, but see-through, so it was easy to see the neighbor doing gardening/yard work virtually the whole time. I wanted to share this bc I know this could really affect some dogs’ ability to enjoy the spot. Fencing: Seemed super secure, didn’t notice any gaps that were relevant to my dog’s size

No complaints! The property is pretty steep so the girls enjoyed running up and down the hill and smelling all the plants. We aren’t even 10 minutes into our drive back home and these high energy girls are already sleeping

Lauren J.

January 2023

Our dogs had so much fun here! Lots of room to explore, a nice cabana area with chairs to relax, and the dogs could run full speed up/down the hill. Now they’re pooped out on the couch :) we plan to be back!

Great location and separate entrance. They have this set up for a dog play ground and it's wonderful. It is a hillside and lots of boulders and brush, I made sure to walk around so I could see where my dogs were sniffing. They had a blast.

Katla had a great time. Lots of areas to check out and very secure area. Will definitely be coming back

Our dogs absolutely loved it! Great scenery with lots of room and levels for the doggos to roam and play. Would definitely recommend.

FAQ about our Big Bear dog parks
