About this property

Uncle Johnnie's Lakefront Fishing Cabin

Lake Almanor is located 165 miles north of Sacramento, nestled amongst the pines where the Cascade Mountains meet the Sierra Nevadas. At elevation 4500 feet it is the third largest manmade lake in California and best known for its prime hunting and fishing grounds.

There are two golf courses on the lake, Bailey Creek in the peninsula & a nine hole at Lake Almanor West. OK, we're fishermen, not golfers! Mount Lassen National Park is just 26 miles away, has hiking (to the top!), picnicking, and very scenic views. Play tennis in the peninsula or bike around the lake (many other trails for cycling to choose from).

This cozy home is situated on the east shore of Hwy 147. Just about the middle of the 8 mile strip at 3907 Hwy 147, Lake Almanor, CA 96137. Enjoy sunsets on the deck or fish right off the dock. Bring your boat, there's plenty of excellent fishing holes around. During the summer months we rent Friday to Friday. Truly is a nice spot on the lake.

Shopping and antiquing can be found in all the quaint old fashioned towns around the area. Dine out in Chester, the peninsula, try Westwood's famous Buffalo Chips Pizzeria ("Cabin Fever" is our favorite).
For a truly affordable vacation on the lake this is the place.

Wonderful stay at the lake

We had a great stay at Uncle Johnnie's fishing cabin. My husband and I had our teenagers, toddler and two black labs. It was definitely a slice of heaven to be out on the dock with our entire family. We brought our paddle boards and kayaks and easily launched them from the dock. Our toddler appreciated the toys left for her to enjoy. We stayed in and cooked every day in the well stocked kitchen. Our dogs had so much fun on this trip, they didn't wanna come home. We will be booking again in the future. Thanks Debbie!

Sunset Over Lassen

Excellent stay. Everything was as described. Check in check out was easy and to the point. Excellent cabin on the water. Had that fishing cabin theme to perfection. Was right on the lake. Deborah was available to be contacted with anything we needed. This was the second time we stayed there and will do this again. Thank you for everything

Great 2 bedroom home

Our stay at Johnnie’s cabin was wonderful. Has everything you need. Both bedrooms had a comfortable bed. The living room had a pullout bed that was also nice for kids. The backyard had enough chairs to sit area a round table to enjoy the beautiful view of the lake. There are also chairs under the deck to put on the dock to sit and enjoy. We all had a great time! Will rent here again. Our host, Deborah was on top of all our questions and needs. You won’t be disappointed with this place.

Beautiful Cozy Lake House

Deborah is very communicative and made the entire booking process so easy and stress-free. She’s such an amazing person overall. The cabin and property is very well managed. The cabin is very clean and cozy. I love how the cabin is decorated. Gotta love all the amenities and essentials the cabin has to offer! Plenty of books to read. If you love to cook, there’s plenty of kitchen utensils to use while you’re there. The scenery from the cabin is very beautiful! Very nice size deck to relax outside during the afternoon and evenings. Easy access to the lake from the cabin. Check-in & checkout process was very easy. Definitely made some awesome memories there with my family! Will definitely visit Uncle Johnny’s Lakefront Fishing Cabin in the near future!!

Great property for lakeside stay

Our stay was great with plenty of room for the two of us and a visitor. Owners allowed our two dogs and we were able to use an expandable gate on the deck to have them outside with us. Watched the sunset every night and enjoyed the mornings out there. The kitchen is well stocked with basics. Location is very convenient to town but not too close to busy areas. Would definitely recommend.

Great Little House On The Lake

Our family had a great time at the house. The photos don’t really do the place justice. Its no frills but everything you need to be comfortable and of course, right on the water. House was clean and stocked with all the essentials (including basics for my 1 yr old), host was communicative, etc.

Five-star gem!

Johnnie’s Fishing Cabin is a Lake Almanor GEM (as is Deborah)! My wife and our Aussie cattle dog spent a wonderful week: jumping off the dock into the lake, reading and napping, eating breakfast and dinner on the back deck, watching each day’s sun set behind Mt. Lassen, all with the very comfortable cabin at our disposal. The cabin is furnished with everything needed aside from personal items and food. It was very clean and well organized without being overbearing. Deborah has thought of most everything and her instructions are clear and easy to comply with. There is train noise from up the hill that surprised us the first time but soon was a normal part of the day. Traffic on the street can be heard in the front bedroom if the window is open but it’s not constant – and if the air is on - the window should be closed :-) Our host Deborah was quick to respond to the one issue we had and made every effort to insure we had a positive outcome. An aside for golfers: we golfed twice at Lake Almanor Country Club and found it welcoming, picturesque, and easy to get to from the cabin. A five-star review! Gene and Brigid

Paradise is the mountains

We had a wonderful stay, the cabin was lovely and warm. The view from the patio is spectacular. It was just a mother, daughter getaway and it was perfect. The cabin had everything you need to be comfortable and the host was very gracious. We hope to rent again maybe in the summer.

Perfect little cabin with a dock

We loved our one night stay and will definitely come back. We brought our inflatable kayak and enjoyed using the dock. The early morning kayaking was the best. Our kids slept on the hide-a-bed couch and everyone was comfortable. Having our meals on the porch was really beautiful. Good memories.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Molea

We purchased the home in 1999 as strictly a business investment. Little did we realize how in love with the entire area we'd be. John loved to fish & sure could get his limit! Our family lives in the bay area but travel north to the home monthly. It's our favorite place to go!

Why they chose this property

The history of the Lake Almanor Basin is fascinating (we keep a book on the shelf to share with our guests). We found out the home was built in 1953 by Finnis Mack Saunders, nicknamed "Chief", a foreman for the Red River Lumber Company. The knotty pine walls & ceiling in the kitchen are priceless! We've respectfully done some remodeling while keeping the old world charm of the home. The well water is very good, plus extra filtration on the refrigerator door for cold drinking water. No need to bring bottled water. There's no curbside recycling so plastic water bottles just fill up the land waste!

What makes this property unique

Uncle Johnnie's Fishing Cabin is situated on the middle of the east shore & is truly a nice spot on the lake. We enjoy sharing the home as much as our guests enjoy vacationing there!
