About this property
Riverfront Cabin on Hamilton Branch · Lake Almanor / Pet-Friendly
Cozy Cabin · Sleeps 6 · King Bed · Steps to the River.
The enchanting sight and soothing sound of the river are the star features of this home. Nestled in a serene, private setting surrounded by towering pines, the tranquility here is truly remarkable. Just steps from the back deck, guests can cast a line and catch trout right from the riverbank—many even brag about landing a fish within minutes. This waterway is known for excellent trout fishing, literally out your back door and only two blocks from Lake Almanor. The riverside trail leading to the water is exclusive to our guests only.
Out on the spacious deck, a fire-pit table sets the perfect mood for morning coffee, evening s’mores, or a glass of wine under the stars. Inside, the newly renovated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a convection oven, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and modern mood lighting perfect for cooking and entertaining. It comes fully stocked with cookware, baking essentials, wine glasses, and small appliances including a drip coffee maker, toaster, blender, and electric tea kettle.
After a day outdoors, guests can unwind in comfort. The home offers plush, comfortable beds with blackout curtains in every bedroom for restful sleep, and on-site laundry for added convenience during longer stays.
Adventure is never far away. Lassen National Park is just 30 minutes away, offering scenic trails and hydrothermal wonders like bubbling mud pots and steaming vents. Lake Almanor invites hours of fun with 52 miles of shoreline—perfect for boating, kayaking, or enjoying the 42-mile paved Lake Almanor Recreational Trail by bicycle.
Whether you’re here to fish, explore, or simply relax to the peaceful rhythm of the river, this home offers the ideal setting for a memorable mountain escape.

About the host
Hosted by Debbie Moss
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.
