About this property

Lakefront Home With A Million Dollar View!

Beautiful lakefront home only 50ft from the lake. It really has a million dollar view! Only 10 stairs down to the dock gets you to the lake. The gorgeous lake view from the main living area and both sides of the house makes you feel like you are on a houseboat! You do not see any neighbors. The house has 4 bedrooms and a loft, 4 bathrooms, beautiful gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances and 36' gas range, WIFI flatscreen tvs, great deck with a gas bbq, bocce ball court, ping pong, foosball, outdoor firepit, 2 kayaks, canoe, and very large dock to hang out on with two jet ski docks. Bring your boat or rent one. Perfect fishing right off the property. The bocce ball court has lights, which is perfect for nightime tournaments with your family and friends! This home is close to golf courses, boat rentals, and snowmobiling in the winter.

Please note: Dock is pulled out in winter until end of May, but we have access to a launch.

House layout:
Upstairs - One bedroom with queen bed, open loft with queen bed and full bed. There is one bathroom upstairs.

Main floor - Kitchen, Living room, fireplace, bathroom, Master bedroom with king bed and attached full bath with dual marble sinks, walk in closet, and large shower.

Downstairs - Two bedrooms. One very large downstairs bedroom with a queen bed, queen murphy bed, fireplace, tv, and sink. The other one is a kids bunk bed room with a queen bed and four bunks with a TV. There is also a bathroom and utility room with washer and dryer downstairs.

Need more room? Ask about our adorable optional guest suite with queen bed and full bath above the garage that also has a beautiful lake view. It can also be used as a private office away from the main house.

Need a lot more room? Ask about Lake Almanor Getaway Jr. - Our 3 bedroom, 1 bath, plus bonus room that is right next door and lakefront that is currently only offered as an add-on. It could be rented separately if a dock was not needed. Reach out with questions.

This house is not only a full time rental it is our home. When you rent from us you will feel like it is your home too. We provide everything from shampoo to zip lock bags so you are not making constant trips to the store. We look forward to sharing our home with you!

Comfy space on the water

Came up for a long Mother’s Day weekend with the family. We really enjoyed how much space we had, the deck was amazing just sitting in the sun with big umbrellas looking right out over the water. The beds were really comfortable. The outdoor space below with the hot tub was a nice space as well. We didn’t want to leave and we had most meals at the cabin.

Hands down our favorite rental on the lake!

This house has a great location on the lake. The water is deep even during low water years. The outside space is amazing as it has a lower and upper deck, lots of seating, bocce ball, Ping-Pong, foosball, firepit, and a grassy area that our group really enjoyed. The house has plenty of beds so that everyone is comfortable. It is well stocked. We had a great time and plan to return!

Perfect family getaway

Absolutely wonderful layout in this home! The 5 bedrooms can truly sleep 17, with easy access to its 4 bathrooms. The dining setup allowed all 13 of us to sit together at the table in the dining area, and on the deck. Just a few steps provides easy access to the private dock and the lake. Amenities include a spa, ping pong, foosball, bocce ball, kayaks, paddle boards, and a huge fire pit surrounded by a dozen Adirondack chairs. There’s an abundance of parking, which easily accommodated our 5 vehicles and the boat trailer. All of our family’s needs and wants were met in this wonderful home! We loved it, and will definitely consider spending our next family vacation there.

Dream family vacation!

Our family group included five adults, one teenage girl,one eight year old girl, and five boys ages six through ten. This vacation spot was perfect in every way. The boys absolutely loved the spacious recreation room and bunk room downstairs. The two girls enjoyed the loft, giving them privacy and space away from the boys. The adults absolutely loved the abundant number of restrooms, large kitchen and space for everyone to eat family meals together. The kitchen was huge with beautiful equipment and all of the amenities of home. The view of the lake was very picturesque. The hot tub was very relaxing and the fire pit gave hours of enjoyment, especially making s’mores with the kids. The home was very clean. The host was responsive and extremely helpful. Our family had a perfect Thanksgiving vacation. I highly recommend this home.!

Nice local getaway

Amazing experience for our large family party with adults and small kids and in celebration of my husband’s 40th birthday! Having lakefront access was a huge plus. The property in itself is well maintained from what we experienced and was very comfortable for all. A couple of improvements though were 1) getting WiFi access - instructions weren’t very clear or helpful but the property manager was very responsive at this beginning stage, and 2) the downstairs room with the bunk bedding had a lighting issue that couldn’t be resolved on day 2. This is when contacting the property manager didn’t seem to be helpful. Somehow the property manager wasn’t responsive at this point. But all in all it was a great experience and we’d love to stay here again! Like… every year!

Ahhhh-mazing!!

The reviews are correct, pictures cannot do this place justice! We're already talking about booking it again! The hosts were very responsive and helpful and made the whole experience very easy. It is the most perfect lake cabin I have ever stayed at! The views were so gorgeous that I wanted to soak up every second while we were there. The house is cleverly laid out to maximize the 3 levels and make it feel so roomy. It had everything you would need to make the stay super comfortable whether kitchen items, bathrooms on every level, or fun toys/games for every age. We had 5 kids from 3-12yrs old and they thought they were at they were at Disneyland with so many fun activities and adventures to explore including having a 2 day slumber party in the bunk room that fit all 5 kiddos perfectly. The adults relaxed on the sun porch, inside on the comfy couch, by the large fire pit with oversized chairs, or hot tub area, all of which had the gorgeous 180 degree views of the lake. The kitchen and bathrooms were all newer and clean and the beds comfortable and inviting. I'm still pinching myself that we were able to pull this off. The perfect extended family retreat!! Do yourself a favor and book it now!

All around great place with great accesories in a great location

My three generation family had a fantastic time on the lake in this cabin. The deck size and view can not be beat. The cabin had everything: canoe, kayaks, paddle board, hot tub, ping pong, foosball, bocce ball, two buoyies, a large dock and more…. All this and only 16 minutes from Chester, where there is a super market, coffee store, gas stations, restaurants and much much more. We are planning to stay again next year

Awesome Lake House

Awesome home on the shores of Lake Almanor. Located in a great neighborhood and a super spot on the lake. Don't let the lack of a direct view of Mount Lassen fool you: the property's position on the Lake is ideal, sheltered by the peninsula without having to deal with the hassles of going in and out of the country club. The home is comfortable and well laid out. Kids can play all day downstairs without getting underfoot of the adults upstairs in the kitchen, dining and living spaces. The bunkroom in particular is terrific. We stayed during Christmas season and had to deal with snow, but can see why the cabin stays booked up during the summer. Great place!

A lovely long weekend

The minute we walked into the house we felt at home. It had everything we needed to have a comfortable family weekend. The view of Lake Almanor is spectacular ! It was a changeable weather weekend which is to be expected in October and so we saw the lake in sunshine, cloudy and misty, and a little bit of rain on the last day. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Our grandson got out one of the kayaks and had a paddle around and our daughter took out her paddle board. We only saw a couple of other people out on the water the whole time we were there. It was very peaceful. We made use of and thoroughly enjoyed the s’mores kit provided. Thank you Christina for sharing your home with us. We all said we would love to return.

We’ll be back!

This was such an amazingly, spectacular lake house. It was perfect for our family of five with all the things to do right on the lake. (This could easily accommodate three families. ). We took the kayaks on the lake, fished off the dock, played bocce ball, and enjoyed the spa (there’s also fus-ball and ping pong). The views from this property are out of this world!!! The kitchen was huge and we’ll equipped. The beds were comfy. There was plenty of room to spread out. My teenagers enjoyed the tv in each room and that it had WiFi. We also enjoyed a day fishing on the lake and chartered a fishing boat (thank you Matt at 530.965.2085). We will be back! We can’t wait to come out during the summer so we can swim in that lake. Thank you West Family!

About the host

Hosted by Christina West

Host profile image

We are a fun-loving family from Chico. We go up to Almanor every chance we get.

Why they chose this property

Our family vacationed in Almanor every year and finally we had the opportunity to buy a place of our own. We look forward to sharing our new home with you and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

As soon as we saw this home we fell in love with the view. The lakefront view is breathtaking. When you are out on the large deck you do not see any neighbors. We are located on the point in the deeper waters. You look to the left and to the right and all you see is the gorgeous lake. The pictures do not do it justice. You will need to see it for yourself.
