This is a first in 26 years. I wish more was written so I could understand why only 4 stars. For those of you reading this, all I can think of is that the day after Tammy arrived, she called me to report that my kitchen faucet was leaking. I had my maintenance man install a brand new one within an hour and a half. You are welcome back anytime Tammy. Thank you, Jack Wolf
we really enjoyed our stay. Owner is very helpful. We went out fishing every day on the lake. Boats and dock were a blast. We will definitely be back again.

Thank you James. I'm glad you enjoyed your vacation. Let me know when you're ready to go back. Jack Wolf
We had a wonderful vacation in Jack’s Cabin. When we posted pictures to our friends all of them wanted to know where we were staying. So we also did a little advertisement! Stay an extra day, it’s worth it!
Just finished our stay at Jack's Cabin. An absolute perfect place for a relaxing getaway for friends and family. Our trip was five dad's on a guys trip and we couldn't have been happier. Incredible deck and views, easy access to the lake, arguably the largest deck on the lake, clean, comfortable and well stocked. We will definitely be back. Most important, Jack was extremely easy to work with and helped make it a relaxing trip going into it.

Thank you Chris for taking such good care of "Jacks Cabin". I'm glad you guys enjoyed yourselves. I'm looking forward to hearing from you to set up your next trip.
Caught 50+ Bullhead Catfish, 5 huge bass, and 1 sunfish. Fished right from the yard above the rocks. My family wants to return to Jack’s again soon for trout in Spring.

Hi Kat, I'm so glad you had a good time and the fish were biting. Get your next reservation in as soon as you can. I already have 8 reservations for next year. You know how to contact me. Thank you, Jack Wolf
Jacks Cabin was everything we were looking for. The cabin was perfect for us and the lake view was awesome! If you're looking for a quiet get away and drop in some fishing poles, this is the place to go. Thanks Jacks Cabin for letting use your place...we will be back! John was a great host and is easy to get ahold of. He rents outside of VRBO so always contact him first for availability. Until next time

Thanks Steve for taking such good care of "Jacks Cabin". See you next year.
A really fun place to stay. The kids had a great time fishing. We even night fished right off of the deck. All together we caught and released almost 100 fish in 4 days. Jack's was money well spent and an adventure the kids won't soon forget. We will definitely be back.

Thank you Olen, Thank you for the kind words. You're family is always welcome at "Jacks Cabin". Jack Wolf
Split floor plan was perfect for two couples and two furry friends. We pretty much lived outside on the large deck overlooking the lake—amazing view (as advertised). Part of the deck is covered, which provides great shade and protection from inclement weather. We enjoyed all of our meals at the large patio table. The “half door” at the steps exiting the deck was perfect for keeping our furry friends in. Jack was very responsive and a great host. We already booked our stay for next year!

Best views ever...
We loved Jack's cabin, the setting on the lake is serene, with never ending
captivating water fowl action. The house has an amazing deck for dining, or just hanging out. House is clean, 3 big bedrooms and very roomy. Location within Pinetop/Lakeside is great, less than 10 minutes to restaurants and shopping. Jack was top notch in his communications and responsiveness to our needs. Even his cleaning crew was welcoming. Good Stay !
Look forwarded to another visit as soon as we can

Thank you Frank. Looking forward to hearing from you about your next trip. Jack
The cabin, deck and dock we’re definitely worth the stay. The owner from my perspective is definitely a little overbearing. I get that he cares for and upkeeps his property for all visitors to enjoy but the overly warning prior to the stay and all of the descriptions and papers taped on the wall within the house is just way too much. As the person who paid for the stay for my family I found it kind of hard to relax because he had such a list of rules that he sent in an email, that he followed up in a phone call and that he sent in a 10-15 page intro prior to us arriving to the cabin and that he also pasted on just about every wall in the house. Would recommend to friends if they are looking for a quiet weekend away to a beautiful escape.

Thank you Sierra for the review. Unfortunately after 27 years renting jackscabin to complete strangers I've learned that all rules have to be in writing and given to every Vacationer, especially with a group of 7 adults and 5 children like you had. The Rental Agreement I send to every Vacationer is required by my insurance company and recommended by my attorneys, it is not 10-15 pages long, it is only 5 pages. Much of the literature I send simply tells about Rainbow Lake and my 4 boats and private pier that the vacationers get to use while staying at jackscabin . All of my past Vacationers who stay at jackscabin expressed to me how much they appreciate me giving them this information. The Rental Agreement asks for standard information and explains all of the rules and guidelines regarding the Lake, Boats and Pier so no one damages anything or gets hurt. Other Vacation Homes that aren't sitting of 200 feet of Lakefront property with a 36 foot pier and 4 boats won't have these rules or paperwork because it's not necessary. When you are Renting a Lakefront home that also gives you the use of 4 boats and a private pier there are going to be rules to protect everyone. What you call "prior overly warning" I call confirming that the number of people and the vehicle information is still the same as it was when you first made your reservation. This is another insurance rule that I have to follow. I'm sorry you don't like House rules, Lake rules, Boat rules or Pet rules.. If you owned a property like this and you were giving the key to a group of 12 strangers I guarantee that you would have the same rules. You are Welcome Back anytime but if Rules make it hard for you to relax you probably won't come back. Sincerely, Jack Wolf
My wife has always wanted to stay at a cabin on the water, and I finally found what she was looking for! The property was amazing! Clean, easy to access, and super roomy. My two teenage boys loved the WiFi, and the great
fishing. Working directly with Jack Wolf, the owner, made this once in a lifetime experience even better. He is so accessible, and thorough, leaving no detail out. My family and I would move into his cabin if he would let us, if I could put 10 stars in every category I would. I have been looking really hard for a place like this, and now my search is over. We are already making plans to return next year. We stayed 4 nights but wish we could have stayed longer. I would recommend Jack’s Cabin to anyone looking for the best overall family trip to the mountains, you won’t regret it! 😎

Hi Rich, You are welcome back anytime. Call me when you're ready to set up your next trip. Thank you for choosing jackscabin for your vacation spot. Jack Wolf in Gilbert
We had a great time. The location of the cabin is such that you can feel like you are in the wilderness but still get to the store if you need toilet paper or check out a yard sale. Thank you, Jack!

Thank you Brenda. It was a pleasure talking with you and renting to your group. I'm so happy everyone enjoyed their stay at jackscabin See you next year. Jack Wolf in Gilbert
Enjoyed our stay at the cabin for spring break. We enjoyed snow and then spring. The kids enjoyed playing in the snow and then around the property. The back porch was very nice when it was warmer. We enjoyed rowing the boats on the lake and enjoyed the ducks and Canadian geese. A few tried fishing but the fish were not biting so there was no catching. Plenty of room for 10 of us though we did take 2 twin blow up mattresses instead of using the futon in the master bathroom. The mud/utility room was great for leaving boots and coats when returning from being in the snow. Plenty of hot water for showers which is a real plus for me. There was plenty of room for all of us to sit and eat together. We look forward to returning in the future, hopefully when the fish are biting.

Hi Linda, I'm so happy your family had so much fun at jackscabin on Rainbow Lake in Pinetop/Lakeside. Let me know when you are ready to come back. Thank you for choosing jackscabin for your Family Vacation. Jack Wolf in Gilbert
My family enjoyed three nights at the cabin and were comfortable during the cold nights and entertained during the days without ever leaving the property. The kitchen is well stocked, the views are unbeatable and the fishing was right out the back door!
I am sure those property is even better in the summer months. I could see my family going back to find out

Thank you Janet. I'm looking forward to hearing from you for your next trip. Jack Wolf
This was our first time at Jack’s cabin. It was everything he says it will be. Our kids were totally entertained on the property every day. The lake was so peaceful and the air so refreshing. We had the best family experience!! We will definitely be back!
This property mirrors the photos on the website. There is plenty of room inside; however, we spent most of our time outside on the deck and boat dock fishing and enjoying the lake and the wildlife. The new AC units were a valuable addition to bedrooms two and three. The kitchen is large and well-stocked. Use of the boats were a pleasant bonus. Jack is quick to respond to any and all inquiries and very accommodating. We are in the process of booking our next stay.
The cabin is amazing!! Everything you need. The outdoor cabin feel with all of the modern amenities. Perfect location for a beautiful view of the lake. Looking forward to our stay in December!! Thanks Jack!!!
