About this property

Historic Home in Chester Next To Lake Almanor

Located in historic Chester, this beautiful home sports a lawn play area with a rustic creek running through the side yard and views of the mountains.

There are three bedrooms suitable for three couples and one single bedroom good for kids and adults that want a little independence. The living room has a sofa bed that sleeps two, a wood stove, a table for playing board games and a large sectional couch. The updated kitchen is fully equipped with cooking utensils and the dining table can accommodate up to ten guest.

The downstairs cowboy master bedroom has a king size bed and a on-suite bathroom with a shower. Next to the kitchen is the downstairs second bathroom with a shower and an oversized bathtub. Upstairs has a second master bedroom, two smaller ones and a ½ bathroom. When the house is full, eight guests can sleep in the four bedrooms and two guests can sleep in the pull-out couch in the living room. The nocturnal ones can hang out in the kitchen dining area away from all the sleeping guest.

The space is equipped with an outdoor barbecue, linens, laundry facilities, DVDs, Internet, TV with Netflix and You Tube, books, board games, children’s items, picnic supplies, a wood stove, and lots of other goodies to make many memories.

Start your stay by walking five minutes into town and join the locals for a cup of coffee and a breakfast bagel (Coffee Station), then take a stroll around the Historic Red Barn (Olson Barn circa 1914) at the end of town and walk in the meadow at the edge of Lake Almanor. Take your boat south 20 minutes to the public boat launch and go fishing for the day. Take a visit to one of our National Parks (Lassen Volcanic Park). Upon your return, you can relax by the creek while BBQing your dinner. Kids love to play around the creek and partake in outdoor games while the adults have an evening drink in the covered porch. Later you can have dinner at the outdoor picnic table; afterwords, take an evening walk up Lassen Street and admire the old historic homes of yesteryear while hearing the faint sounds of nearby grazing cattle.

Not in the mood to cook? Take a two-minute walk for the best pizza and salad in Northern California (The Pizza Factory). A five-minute drive away is fine dining at the Steak House (Timber House) and other dining choices from Mexican to Chinese food. In a golfing mood, there are two golf courses within a 20-minute drive from the house. If you like to bike, there are several bike trails and logging roads around Chester to explore.
