Beautiful family friendly property! Loved our stay! Plenty of space for our family to gather and enjoy, enjoyed the sunrise and sunset views! Very short drive into the city to play in the snow.
We had a lovely family vacation with entire family including grandkids, adult children and grandparents. Large property with plenty of bedrooms so everyone had their own space. Cooked at home and went out to enjoy local hikes during the day.
The ranch was great for our group. We had plenty of space and the place was super clean. Irma was easy to communicate with as well. Would definitely stay here again.
We had a great family get together at Jackrabbit Ranch! The location is beautiful and the house is in great shape! It was stocked with plenty of plates, cups, etc for the group!
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.
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 !!
Great property for large groups. Very clean. Very well stocked with everything you may need. Very responsive property manager made check -in & Check-out process easy. Great location with enough acreage that there are no close neighbors, yet close enough to town to make visits easy.
The home was clean and had everything we needed. Our family had an amazing time
Only con was that some of the rooms were somewhat separate from the main house. It wasn’t an issue for us.
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.
We were 16 of us with a small dog. Property was very clean, well maintained, great location. Irma - the Caretaker was superb. This was our 1st outing with 8 couples and we made tons of fun memories. We surely would revisit this place. Laurie was kind enough to let us view her property before we decided to rent it.
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!
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!
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!
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.
We had such an amazing time during our stay. We wish we could have stayed longer! The home had everything you could wish for and instantly made you want to relax by the fire and connect with loved ones. Such friendly communication and hosts going above and beyond! Cannot recommend it enough. We hope to return soon!
We enjoyed the facility and the surroundings very much.

Beautiful spacious property!
Jackrabbit ranch exceeded all our expectations and made it such a wonderful experience for us. We loved everything about the property and can’t wait to go back again soon!
We were a group of friends with our small children and we had a wonderful time on this beautiful property. The house is even better than the photos! Check in was a breeze and the property manager was quick to answer any questions.
This was our second time at the ranch and everyone loved it just as much if not more than the first time. Everyone, young and old had a fantastic time. Love this property!
