About this property

Uncle Johnnie's Lakefront Fishing Cabin

Lake Almanor is located 165 miles north of Sacramento, nestled amongst the pines where the Cascade Mountains meet the Sierra Nevadas. At elevation 4500 feet it is the third largest manmade lake in California and best known for its prime hunting and fishing grounds.

There are two golf courses on the lake, Bailey Creek in the peninsula & a nine hole at Lake Almanor West. OK, we're fishermen, not golfers! Mount Lassen National Park is just 26 miles away, has hiking (to the top!), picnicking, and very scenic views. Play tennis in the peninsula or bike around the lake (many other trails for cycling to choose from).

This cozy home is situated on the east shore of Hwy 147. Just about the middle of the 8 mile strip at 3907 Hwy 147, Lake Almanor, CA 96137. Enjoy sunsets on the deck or fish right off the dock. Bring your boat, there's plenty of excellent fishing holes around. During the summer months we rent Friday to Friday. Truly is a nice spot on the lake.

Shopping and antiquing can be found in all the quaint old fashioned towns around the area. Dine out in Chester, the peninsula, try Westwood's famous Buffalo Chips Pizzeria ("Cabin Fever" is our favorite).
For a truly affordable vacation on the lake this is the place.

Relaxing Long Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend on the lake. The cabin is exactly as advertised. The lake views are incredible and being able to tie our boat up to the dock for the duration of the trip so convenient. We cant wait to come back.

Supper friendly host

Booked this house for my husbands fishing trip with the boys. They had an awesome time and the host was super helpful and communication was great. Only thing that would have made ot perfect was if the dock was in the water. Wasnt very shore fishing friendly.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Molea

Host profile image
We purchased the home in 1999 as strictly a business investment. Little did we realize how in love with the entire area we'd be. John loved to fish & sure could get his limit! Our family lives in the bay area but travel north to the home monthly. It's our favorite place to go!

Why they chose this property

The history of the Lake Almanor Basin is fascinating (we keep a book on the shelf to share with our guests). We found out the home was built in 1953 by Finnis Mack Saunders, nicknamed "Chief", a foreman for the Red River Lumber Company. The knotty pine walls & ceiling in the kitchen are priceless! We've respectfully done some remodeling while keeping the old world charm of the home. The well water is very good, plus extra filtration on the refrigerator door for cold drinking water. No need to bring bottled water. There's no curbside recycling so plastic water bottles just fill up the land waste!

What makes this property unique

Uncle Johnnie's Fishing Cabin is situated on the middle of the east shore & is truly a nice spot on the lake. We enjoy sharing the home as much as our guests enjoy vacationing there!
