We keep coming back!

We love this house. It is perfect for our urban family, and is our 4th time returning. It has a kitchen that is perfect for prepping big dinners, while chatting with friends and family. Every bedroom has an en suite, and the views and grounds are phenomenal. We look forward to next year when we return.

Ranch

The ranch is outdated furniture, falling apart the pictures make it look better than what it is. The The Owner have to call you in order for you to book to tell you that if the people come out to tell them that you’re their friends because they’re not supposed to have over seven people at first I thought it was a scam. It was just really hard to book.having to go through all that.. I think she should get her things together with the city so she doesn’t have to tell people what to say in order to stay at the ranch..

The most AMAZING place to stay!

We had the best time. It was the most perfect place for a big family. It’s almost set up like a bed and breakfast where they have several private bedrooms, all with their own bathrooms. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need. The property was fun to walk around and play games. We have stayed in a lot of rentals and this place has to be one of the coolest and most memorable. We will definitely be coming back.

We liked the place so much that we have decided to rent it 3rd time in 2025. What we liked - away from the town, quiet but we can make noise, rustic look but modern amenities, we can enjoy beautiful sunset as well as sunrise. The property caretaker is superb !!

Birthday Weekend

Wanted to thank you so much for an amazing weekend! The house and property is stunning, VRBO does not do it justice at all! From Friday night till yesterday morning we cooked, ate, drank, napped and repeat. Celebrated bdays, we had sports day Sunday afternoon and we laughed and laughed. The mess hall was a godsend for the catering “hub”. And the kitchen for serving and various happy hours and meals! Front porch with the grills became the bday dinner location, but Sunday night we sat out back at the picnic tables. Dogs roamed, chased a few rabbits lol, no blood shed! Can’t wait to return, I know I’ll be booking again for next year, if you’ll have us back. Everyone has said it was the best weekend I’ve done up there. One request was can I get a pool installed for next year 😂 Just such a fabulous experience we all had, including the dogs! Thank you again!

This is our third time at Jackrabbit, and it continues to be the perfect place for our large group of friends, who are like family. The kitchen and open living room are the perfect place to make meals while enjoying the company of everyone. The kitchen is also well stocked with equipment and dishes to make big meals. The beds are comfy and the rooms well decorated. The property has tons of space for the kids to run around. We continue to love coming here, and look forward to coming back.

Beautiful home

We had the pleasure of staying at Jackrabbit ranch the weekend of Dec 15-17. Prior to the stay, communication was outstanding. Laurie was even sending me links to the conditions in Big Bear. The day we were scheduled to arrive, Irma, the property manager reached out with instructions of check in. In addition, she checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. The house (and grounds) was beautiful . The kids (both the 2 legged and 4 legged kind) had so much room to play. We had a great time and we are looking forward to more visits!

Another Wonderful Thanksgiving at Jackrabbit Ranch!

My family and I returned to Jackrabbit Ranch this Thanksgiving to make another batch of wonderful memories. We are a mixed age group of humans and dogs and everyone had so much fun! The sky was blue and the air was crisp-we hoped for snow but were honestly fine without it. The space has rooms and bathrooms galore-spaces to hang together and areas to seek solitude in. We played ball in the huge yard and took the little kids on hikes around the property. The bathrooms are well stocked with toilet paper and the kitchen had plenty of paper towels. Some places are so stingy with this stuff. The kitchen has tons of plates, glasses and silverware and ovens-the mess hall is a great place to both eat and store extra food and beverages. We cooked every night-and were able to find most things we needed. However, if you have special needs for your cooking, make sure to bring those items. Like immersion blenders and good chef knives. Our family is full of very good chefs. If you are going to use the master bath jetted tub, make sure to run a full bath with the jets on to get out all of the built up sediments that spew out of the jets. Drain and repeat. A great place, a great trip and the owners and manager are very responsive. Yee Haw, Jackrabbit Ranch.

Family getaway; limited handicap accessibility

Overall property and experience was great! Spacious parking, big kitchen (stocked w cooking utensils and kitchenware) and bedrooms and bathrooms well kept, towels provided. Two things to to take into consideration when booking. 1) there is no AC. So during the day into the evening it was pretty warm inside the cabins (we went in July). But there were ceiling fans and plug in fans. 2) limited handicap accessibility. To access a bedroom you do need to take a few steps, no ramp. Some of the rooms do have walk-in showers. Others were tub showers. However, plenty of activities for all ages. We enjoyed drinking early morning coffee and sounds of nature, playing horse shoe out back, taking scenic walks, horseback riding at walking distance, playing at nearby park basketball and tennis, went to the lake to ride jet skis, watched movies (tv in family room) and barbecued (bbq provided at the cabin;grocery store nearby). So plenty of things to do and whole family overall had fun!

This is a perfect cabin for large groups. The main house has a central area including a pool table and foosball table. There is plenty of space and rooms to accommodate large groups. Almost every room has its own bathroom which is convenient. The separate mess hall was a nice addition for prepping and eating meals. There is plenty of land to bring pets and have them run around.

Absolutely Wonderful

This is our second time staying at the Jackrabbit Ranch. The property is incredibly well set up for large groups with bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. Our group loves to cook, and the kitchen is stocked with all of the equipment needed for creating large meals. The shared indoor spaces can comfortably handle 20 people and the outdoor spaces all have amazing views. The property also has enough land for the kids to roam safely and even see horses in the distance. Communication is fast and easy. I cannot recommend this place enough, and we hope to keep returning.

This was our friends group 4th stay at Jackrabbit Ranch and we can't wait to stay there again! So much space and the amenities there are second to none! Gerd and Laurie have built a very special place out there in the San Bernardino mountains and we are very fortunate to be able to experience it. The check in and check out process was very simple and Irma the caretaker was great to work with and we had great communication with her the entire trip. This is the place to be for large gatherings.
