Our 2nd time
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!

Wonderful Property
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 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.

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.

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!

Perfect for large groups
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. Overall, we loved it and will definitely be back.

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.

Another great stay at the Ranch!
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. We will be back!

Yee Haw
Jackrabbit Ranch is a spacious home on a large parcel of land with plenty of room for all. The kitchens are large and have plenty of pots and pans and eating dishes and utensils. We cooked every night we were there. The tv's are great-I love the fact that we could use our own log-ins for the channels that we subscribe too. I stayed in the master suite and the bathroom and room are huge. The shower was awesome. The grounds outside are big enough for a family game of soccer or kickball or whatever. We had one night where the wild burros or the region visited in the yard. A fun time was had by all. The check out situation is easy and fast. I have no complaints. Just a couple of mentions: if you are going to take a jacuzzi bath, run the jets in some cold water before you use it-debris collects in the tubes if it's not used frequently. I've already forgotten the other thing. Oh well. Also, Baldwin lake is gone, so don't expect a lake. Hopefully Big Bear lake will be around for years to come.

Excellent Stay
We absolutely loved this property! We filled the house with a group of 20 people. There was ample space for each family both for their own privacy with most of the bedrooms having an attached bathroom. There was also plenty of common area so we were able to comfortably hang out with one another. The property itself is well maintained. The grounds are neatly kept. The property manager, Irma, was quick to respond to any questions we had. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the pots and pans and knives, etc that you would need for cooking for a large group. The refrigerator space and 4 ovens really came in handy. Overall, we loved our stay here and will be back in the future. Thank you for allowing us to stay at this gorgeous property!
