Charming country home, close to incredible state and national parks and well located!

We enjoyed the lovely stream, croquet set and charming home. We visited Lassen multiple times and Burney falls, and of course Lake Almanor. Home is well located for walking to coffee, restaurants, etc.

Excelent property

We were very comfortable, and really enjoyed our stay. The house was well appointed, and the availability of items needed for everyday use, other than what we brought, was impressive. We will definitely be back.

Lovely Spot!

We loved waking up, making a cup of coffee in the beautifully stocked kitchen and heading out on to the front patio to listen to the birds and the sounds of the creek that runs through the front yard. The two downstairs bathrooms are spacious and new, large living room to relax, play games, read and the property is walking distance to Chester and just a short drive to the lake. Also, huge plus, it's a dog friendly spot. We loved staying here. Thank you so much!

Chester get away

We had a wonderful stay at the property. The games/puzzles were appreciated. Even though property is very close to the main road and across the street from a trailer park, it was very quiet in the evenings. The sound of the little stream in the back yard could be heard in the evenings. Rooms were adequate, could use some coat hooks or a luggage rack upstairs. Kitchen had pretty much everything you needed.

Pleasant surprise

Just like staying with your grandparents house in the woods. Rustic, warm and completely furnished with everything a family would need for a holiday. We just brought the food and drinks. We had a nice place to walk and a 5 minute walk to town. We drove around the lake and had lunch in Westwood. Took a drive to the Mt Lassen visitor center and visited mud pots. Returning to Chester we stopped for dinner at a bar & grill for a delicious meal.. We left a White House puzzle for the next group to enjoy. Thanks again for the holiday rescue.

Spacious home in a nice location

The house was very spacious and had lots of amenities. The yard was perfect for our dog. We enjoyed our stay very much. The only negatives we encountered were the mosquitoes, bring lots of mosquito repellent and candles or thermacells. They are massive and numerous beyond count. The heat wave didn’t help, I’m sure the lack of ac at any other time of year wouldn’t be a big deal but it was 100 the days we stayed so we felt it. Also, a WiFi extender would be helpful staying in the back bedroom, wouldn’t be a bad idea to have one in my travel bag for such cases. All in all we loved the house and would highly recommend.

Chester Fishing Trip

Wonderful, spacious home near "downtown" Chester. Clean, well-maintained and fully appointed, easily sleeps 6-8 adults. The biggest drawback is that the entire region surrounding Chester has been devasted by the Dixie Fire from 2021, so surrounding forests are destroyed with little flora or fauna remaining. Still, great trout fishing for us! Home needs to have full cable TV subscription, but internet worked very well. Next door neighbor was in the middle of remodeling his home so some daytime noise disrupted the otherwise quiet. Lovely spring-fed stream in the backyard! Great for family gatherings, or groups of friends. Unfortunately, the daily rate dropped dramatically (seasonal) the week after we rented. Still, would recommend it unhesitatingly.

This was our first VRBO booking. The house was fantastic with plenty of space for all of us. The best feature of this listing is all of the items stocked in the home for your use. We brought nothing other than groceries and did not need to go purchase anything. Everything we needed for cooking, sleeping, and hanging out was provided. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking in this area.

Great Option

We normally try to stay in a rental on Lake Almanor but that wasn't possible with my brother's dog. We really appreciate the owner's (Ted) flexibility on this as other dog-friendly rentals were much father away from Almanor. The house was on a block close to downtown Chester, so supermarkets like Holiday and restaurants were nearby. We were a little nervous about the RV park across the street but they were quiet and respectful. The interior of the house was thoughtfully laid out and came with many amenities in the kitchen and bathrooms. Also some very nice remodeling to the bathrooms including 2 shower heads in the master. The couches in the family/living rooms were very comfortable and easy to fall asleep on! Plus it really felt like a cabin with the knotty pine walls and comfy wood stove (which we only used 1 night). Also enjoyed the back yard with the small running creek and great panoramic view of the sky. So easy to read a book all afternoon in this serene environment! Lastly, Ted was an ideal host/owner. Very communicative and helpful when needed which was only a couple of times. Ideal VRBO rental overall.

So happy to have found this cozy home!

The house is decorated so eclectic with a cozy cabin feel but with tons of space! My husband and I enjoyed the wood burning fireplace the entire weekend! Can't wait to have another weekend getaway here, maybe when the snow is gone!😊

Cool, funky cabin

Well-appointed house. Close to lake almanor and lassen park. Wi-fi in the house was quite spotty but could just be the area. Lots of the town is closed down in the winter, obviously not the owner’s fault. Just plan on eating in for the most part. Holiday Market is a good place to stock up. The cabin is the nicest on the street. Across the street is an RV park and the house next door is a bit run down. The neighborhood seemed very safe and locals were all very friendly.

Lovely house for a gathering

Beautiful, cozy, charming house. Very clean and comfortable. Great for a family gathering. We appreciated how the kitchen is very well-stocked with all kinds of dishes, utensils, cookware, small appliances, etc. The wood stove does a great job of warming up the house. Host is very courteous and provided lots of good information about the property. We had a great time and hope to visit again!
