We had a wonderful stay! The host was very helpful with local dining recommendations. The cabin was clean, organized, and had everything we needed. We loved listening to the river right outside and it was just a short drive to Lake Almanor, where we enjoyed boating all weekend. Perfect location and an overall great experience—we’d definitely stay here again!

A great place!

This was a great house to stay in. It's well appointed, clean and comfortable. It was a very short drive to the Hamilton Branch fishing access which was a big plus for my kids. The sound of the river behind the house was very peaceful. I would definitely recommend this for a quiet mountain getaway.

It was such a beautiful place. We were visiting family that we hadn't seen in a long time. The rental was less than a mile away so going back and forth was very easy.

Great Cottage on Peaceful River

Well appointed and recently remodeled cottage was perfect for a 3 night stay. My son and I came to the area for a fishing trip and this was close to all the spots by the lake. We had everything we needed to cook in each night and enjoyed listening to Hamilton branch river to go to sleep. Back deck had nice views of river and peaceful to sit for a rest. Debbie, the owner was communicated well checking in on us once there.

Beautiful location on the river with a cozy and functional design that is family friendly. We were lucky enough to have a dusting of snow which added to the beauty of the area.

Suburb in all respects!

Debbie and Dave were the most responsive hosts we have encountered during our many years of experience with vacation rentals. The property was comfortable, immaculate and so well stocked and equipped we thought we were home. The view from the, to say nothing about the sound of the water was simply wonderful and so peaceful. The neighborhood was quiet and safe for long walks and they even delivered a freshly laundered blanket for our pooch to sleep. Simply a wonderful stay that we hope to repeat.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Moss

Host profile image
I was born and raised in the Philippines, spent several wonderful years living in Tokyo, and eventually made Reno, NV my home in the ’90s. My husband, David, and I fell in love with Lake Almanor for its beauty and endless outdoor adventure. We’re passionate about being outside and bringing people together, whether we’re entertaining friends or enjoying nature as a family.
In the summer, you’ll find us boating, hiking, mountain and road biking, and waterskiing or wakeboarding. In the winter, we love downhill skiing and snowshoeing through the quiet forest trails. Lake Almanor gives us the best of every season, and we’re excited to share this special place with our guests.

Why they chose this property

Lake Almanor has always held a special place in our hearts, offering a plethora of outdoor activities for every taste. Whether you're into boating, fishing, kayaking, biking, motorcycle riding, or hiking, there's something here for you. Plus, with Lassen Volcanic National Park just a short drive away, the adventures are endless.

Nestled perfectly on the Hamilton Branch inlet to Lake Almanor, this home boasts an ideal location. The allure of the branch captivated me from the moment I laid eyes on this property. The mesmerizing view and soothing sound of the creek sold me on the spot; I barely needed to explore the rest of the house.

Situated at the North end of the East Shore, near the Country Club golf course and Bailey Creek golf course on the peninsula, this home offers tranquility and convenience. Listen to the gentle cascade of the creek from the deck, with the occasional passing train adding to the charm.

Step inside to find a recently remodeled interior, complete with warm flooring that enhances the ambiance. From the living room, step out onto the spacious deck and savor your morning coffee surrounded by towering pine trees. This place truly feels like your home away from home.

What makes this property unique

The enchanting sight and soothing sound of the river stand out as one of the top features of this home. Nestled in a serene setting, the tranquility and peacefulness of this property are truly remarkable. Just a few steps from the house, guests have the opportunity to catch dinner, with some sharing exhilarating tales of casting and catching fish in record time. This exclusive trail is accessible only to our guests.
Out on the deck, a fire pit table provides a cozy spot for guests to enjoy the outdoors and unwind. Additionally, allows guests to soak in the sights and sounds of the creek, accompanied by the occasional passing train.
The kitchen comes fully stocked with modern amenities, including a 4-burner electric stove, convection oven, microwave, garbage disposal, dishwasher, wet bar, and a variety of small appliances such as a drip coffee pot, toaster, variety of spices for your cooking needs. Guests will find an array of cookware, dishes, baking tools, wine glasses, and more for their culinary needs.
Guess are more than welcome to use our four kayaks if you have a way to transport it to the lake. Let us know in advance so we could give you a pin code to get into our shed kayak.

For those who prefer a good night's sleep, the bedrooms have room-darkening curtains, ensuring a restful slumber.
