55Felicia’s spot was absolutely gorgeous! It had so many lovely touches and amenities. She and her family were so kind and welcoming. The spot was pristine and truly an oasis. The pool was lovely and I had a great time with my dog. We will definitely be visiting again when he’s more confident swimming in the deep end!Suseela J.

55This was our first Sniff Spot ever and it really sets the bar pretty high! Everything was AMAZING. The amenities were plentiful for both people and dogs, the space was full of so many things to explore, and the price is just right. Membership for this spot is so, so worth it. We can't wait to come back!
I will note accessbility wise, the land is pretty steep. I have a hip condition and limited mobility but so long as you take it slow and careful (this is NOT a flip flop SniffSpot, owners!), most will be just fine! Savanah R.

55Due to rainy weather, we weren’t able to enjoy the visit as planned. However, we did check out the yard which was well maintained, fully enclosed and spacious enough for our small dog to run around in. The host was a timely communicator and couldn’t have been more gracious. She refunded us and we’re looking forward to a sunnier visit!Christina T.

55Stokely is a great host, very kind and responds fast. The sniff spot itself is beautiful, quiet, clean, and just very peaceful. Easy to access, just be careful walking down the street because people drive fast and there’s no sidewalk. My puppy enjoyed sniffing around, running, and laying on the cool grass. Highly recommend you check this spot out! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us who don’t have a yard for our pets. We had a wonderful time! Karla C.

55Nice spot, will plan on returning. There’s no seating in the lower area so I recommend bringing a folding chair if you’d like to sit. There was also no waste bin so plan to dispose accordingly. Madelyne G.

55Perfect space for my little dog to run and play (ball is life). The property is absolutely stunning and the yard is clean and designed beautifully. There were two comfortable chairs available when we visited, along with poop bags and a waste bin. We came after dark and used our phone flashlight to navigate the steep stone stairs leading down into the yard. Dimly lit and only in the grassy area, but we felt perfectly safe. There is NOT a steep drop off as another review claimed. All in all, we loved this Sniffspot and can’t wait to be back. Rosie was so happy she didn’t want to leave! Thanks so much for making this available to us.Heidi L.

55Accessing the yard was extremely easy. It is pretty spacious and clean. The yard gave our pooch plenty of room to roam, run, and play. The neighborhood and surrounding area is extremely quiet & have our reactive dog peace of mind. I would definitely recommend this space to other dog ownersRandy E.

55We had such a great time! The canyon is awesome and full of stuff to sniff! Plenty of street parking, secure fencing, and beautiful space to relax. It was Kiwi's first time off her leash in a yard and it was a perfect spot, she really liked the clubhouse and running up and down the mountain. Cindy left clear instructions and a wonderful message while we were on our way to help us get acclimated. Thank you Cindy for an amazing experience with our fruity gal 🥝🌈💗MaryJean C.

55This was our first Sniffspot and it was great! The gate to get in was well marked and while the stairs were a little tricky, we were able to safely make our way down to the park. Our dogs had a blast running up and down the hill and playing with the toys. Will 100% be back! Thank you!! JJ B.

FAQ about our Big Bear Lake dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
