Top 12 Travel Destinations 2009 - Lassen

Kathy’s cabin was our home away from home at Mt Lassen, with everything we could possibly want! Her sister came over the first day to give us tips and tell us about what to see and do.

My husband and I took our niece and her family for a short vacation and we all had a blast... the young boys 11 and 7 loved the creek at the bottom of the garden as well as the fire pit and Smores.

Thank you Kathy for sharing your home with us, we most certainly hope to come back again someday... 😊

We had a wonderful stay at Battle Creek Retreat this summer! The vacation home was fully and thoughtfully appointed with everything our family needed, and the s'mores and wine and coffee/tea station were much appreciated bonuses! We loved relaxing outside in the patio/gazebo area and having fires in the fire pit at night. We spent three days exploring Lassen, and one full day relaxing at BCR, including down at the creek. A lovely retreat! Thank you for sharing this special place with us.

Kathy and her sister were very friendly and helpful.

The house had everything you could need and more. It was perfect to bring my two newfies, the yard was great as well as the creek and near by lake.

I would stay here again and probably will.

First, the host. Kathy has made her cabin a home-away-from-home with so many special touches, including a smore's kit (yum!), two sets of dishes (so you're not having to wash dishes in-between meals), plenty of bath towels, games, etc. Second, the layout of the home. It's set on a creek, with a sitting area (lots of steps), a patio with plenty of seats and a great fire pit, a game/sun room, two living room areas and three bedrooms (all upstairs . But my sister was able to sleep downstairs on a hide-a-bed). Third, the location. Close to Lassen Park (15 minutes), Subway Caves (45 minutes). Fourth,, her sister Peggy and her two adorable grandkids ready to answer any questions and to visit. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Kathy! We hope to return in the winter!

Overall this is an excellent home to use for family stays close to Lassen National Park. The home is clearly set up to be used for gatherings, complete with tons of towels, a coffee bar, smores kit and more! The owners were very helpful and responsive. The house is very clean, although furnishings are somewhat outdated (but this plays into the fun cabin retreat vibe!). The outdoor space is phenomenal, with great deck areas and a perch next to the creek behind the house. I would definitely return to this cabin if I'm in the area again!
