Why they chose this property
For generations, my family and I have frequented the Burney Basin and Pit River areas, mesmerized by the natural beauty, exceptional fishing, and endless opportunities for outdoor adventure. When we stumbled upon this property years ago, we knew it was the perfect location – with its spacious grounds, adjacency to Lassen Forest, access to the highway, and proximity to stunning attractions like Burney Falls and Lassen Park just minutes away.
After pouring our hearts and souls into renovating the home and grounds, we decided to turn our beloved getaway into a vacation haven for others to enjoy. We are continually enhancing the property to ensure an unforgettable experience for our guests. As your host, I'm eager to share this special place with you and look forward to your feedback and suggestions on how we can make it even more exceptional.
