We just spent 3 nights here over the 4th of July. Great location with a market and restaurant across the street. The cabin was cozy, clean and comfortable and had great views of the marina and lake. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect cabin

The cabin was perfect for our stay. The set was great with the bedroom and living area. My husband is an early riser (5:30am even on vacation) and the bedroom is in the back of the cabin away from the living room, so he could get up early and I could sleep. The kitchen as everything we needed. Although there is a loft we did not use it. The location is great with great view of the lake. We look forward to coming back next year and staying longer.

Great location, great owners

This is a great location and the owner Steve is one of the most communicative and coolest peeps I have ever rented a place from, he made it super super comfortable to get going. We have a boat and using the cabin boat slip easy peasy. Dock is in a nice location for swimming in the cove. The cabin is well stocked with just about anything you need and very clean. Appreciated that the unit has a functioning AC that works well as we were there when the fire started. My family also appreciated that the TVs worked and were super easy to use and stream on which is not always the case with cabin rentals. I like the location as I enjoy going across the street to the peninsula market for coffee in the morning and being located in Big Cove is always a plus. Not much to critique here, would def rent from Steve again.

Excellent spot for lake adventures

My family of 5 enjoyed our week stay at Steve & Emily’s getaway cottage. It is a small private property with 19 manufactured units, very friendly community and excellent views & access to the lake. So relaxing to wake up and enjoy a cup of coffee on the deck looking on the lake hearing the birds and community waking up. Having the private dock and water area really made the stay for us! We brought our 2 stroke fishing boat & paddle board. Used the Knotty Pine marina directly across to get our boat in & out of the water for a fee. Across the main road is a small convenient store, coffee shop and excellent Restaurant. I would recommend buying the bulk of your groceries at a bigger store or bringing them with you to save . Steve was very easy to communicate with and the place was stocked with all your kitchen needs. As they mention bring your sheets, pillowcases, towels, hand towels and beach towels. No laundry is on site but there is a laundromat in Chester or Susanville for a small day trip. Our stay was mid June 2025.

Cute little cabin with a great view of the lake! The cabin is set up with everything you need. Comfy beds (the pull out couch is a little worn but still doable) and all the windows have good blinds and black out curtains in the upper loft. The loft does have a low ceiling so you have to bend over to get in there, but still great for kids or limber adults!The AC unit in the main area worked great to help cool down the house and there are lots of fans to help circulate the air.Communication with the host was quick and effective. Would stay here again!

About the host

Host profile image

We currently live in the SF bay area. We love the outdoors & have been coming to Lake Almanor since the mid 80's. We were able to purchase the cabin in August of 2022 & we love going up there to stay & take our boat out on the lake for water skiing or fishing.

Why they chose this property

The view of the lake & mountains from our rear deck is awesome. Plus with all the amenities of the big cove area store, restaurants & 2 boat ramps right there within walking distance. Really makes this an ideal location.

What makes this property unique

The view from our back deck. Your choice of a power awning or an umbrella on rear deck for shade. Cozy upstairs loft with queen-size bed, private boat dock, front porch seating area, living room sofa folds out to a queen size bed, surround sound system, A/C, Central heat, Peninsula market & Red Onion bar and grill is a 5 minute walk across the road from the cabin. More restaurants & brewery down the road & gas station & 2 boat ramps with marinas right in the cove.
