55Amazing 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! 🙌❤️🐾Nancy S.

55First 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 Alexis N.

55Very 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. Jenny A.

55This is a great spot for adventurous dogs! The pups had a blast and lots of zoomies, and it was comfortable for the humans too. There was water and buckets for trash, and the host left toys for the dogs which came in handy. I’ll definitely be back!Arleen P.

55This spot is great! I felt very safe letting my dogs off leash to run around. And I loved that the whole area is on a hill, makes for even better exercise to tire my dogs out! I'm looking forward to my next visit! Tracy H.

55We loved our afternoon here! Harley discovered so many hidden toys throughout the property it was so much fun! I usually have to play fetch with her the whole time to wear her out, but on the hill there was a make-shift fetch built in 😁. There was water, supplies and just about anything you could think of. Thank you for a great day!Cassie G.

55It really is an oasis! I think my dogs were shocked at how big it was, they didn’t even run and play they just wore themselves out by sniffing and exploring. The hosts kindly provided water, water bowls, and toys. Plus the views were gorgeous for all the humans who are watching their pups play in the yard. We’ll definitely be back, my girls are exhausted and had a blast! Taylor P.

55This is a great place to bring your dogs to run and run and run! There are hills and rocks and plenty of room to run freely. I was a bit nervous at first because we noticed some snake or gopher holes but that is to be expected out in a rural area. It does look like the owner has covered several of the holes. My pups are super inquisitive and were able to go under the cactus plant and a few of the other bushes/ trees that had leaves covering the ground. Again, I was a bit nervous about the possibility of snakes. However, this is something to be aware of in all outdoor spaces. My dogs and children left happy and tired! Brandy H.

FAQ about our Big Bear dog parks
