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.

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.

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The ranch is outdated furniture, falling apart the pictures make it look better than what it is.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..

Fantastic Family Getaway

This property is absolutely amazing. The main kitchen was large and beautiful, the bedrooms were great sizes and the beds were so comfortable. The back of the ranch was a great space for the family to gather and play games. I highly recommend this property to others. Must stay!

Great place to stay!

The property is large and has everything you need for an awesome stay. The kitchen was a good size, and equipped with newer appliances including a dishwasher, 2 ovens, fridge/freezer, and large range. There was snow on the ground during our stay - the secluded backyard was perfect for the kids to make snowmen and have snowball fights. Overall, this place was perfect and we look forward to staying here again!

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.

Jackrabbit Ranch

Owner and property manager were very accessible and communicated with me during the whole process of renting and staying at the Jackrabbit Ranch. We had a very large group and the facility was able to accommodate us all. The ranch is in a perfect location, close enough to downtown but far enough away that we didn’t have to deal with traffic. We had an excellent stay!!

Great family friendly place

We had a great stay at the Jack Rabbit Ranch. The kids loved it and it was very cosy. The only issues we had were the water pressure and the stove/oven not cooking the food that fast. Other than that, we really enjoyed ourselves. There were a ton of amenities and we loved the apple tvs!

The House is wonderful for a large group. Very private and not far from stores, and skiing. Lots to do. Wonderful pool table, lots of outdoor activities for everyone. You need to bring nothing but your clothes, house is well equipped. Our family had a wonderful vacation.

Last Summer Getaway

We came up with three families for our last summer getaway before school started. The ranch was a perfect retreat for our families and friends. It offered plenty of outdoor space for dinners and for the kids to hang out. The rooms were well appointed and there were lots of bathrooms! The house was very clean with a great kitchen and a mess hall. We really enjoyed our time here.

Another fabulous wknd at the JJR

This is our second stay at the JRR . We are a group of 20 and we were so pleased with our stay last year we decided to stay here again this year. The property design provides so much space that even with our big group you never feel crowded whatsoever. It's very secluded and spacious and the furnishings and amenities are second to none. Janith, the care taker of the property, is extremely helpful and professional and even helped us recover a lost item we accidently left behind. We are looking forward to staying here again soon.

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!
