Very nice house with lots of room. Several toys. Access to the beach. We enjoyed our stay very much. Everyone loved the downstairs video game.

We got lucky and were able to book this amazing home for the 4th of July weekend. It was a great location on the lake. The house was only a 10 minute drive to the quaint town of Chester. The pictures of the home do not do it justice. It is so cute and the kids loved the downstairs "bunk house". The views from the back porch were very pretty and being able to use the dock and play in the water was so much fun for us and the kids. We highly recommend this home.

This was our first time at Lake Almanor, and it was perfect! We did our first full family vacation! My husband and I, our youngest (8), oldest (21) her husband (26) and four grandbabies (6,5,2,6m)! The house was perfect! The downstairs was perfect for the kids! The built in beds were so fun for them, and had little touches like a dimmable lantern for a night light! There was space for them to run around, and they loved the multi-arcade game, as did my son-in-law. There is a small room down there with a queen bed, that my daughter and husband used, just to be closer to the kids at night. The spiral staircase is very steep, but even the 2 year old walked them just fine. There is a babygate at the stairs for safety!
The main floor was a good family space. Dining table was big enough to fit all of us and the kitchen was stocked with anything we needed! Main bedroom was a good size and the bed was extremely comfortable! We used the uostairs bathrrom to shower but did not sleep there. It was the hotest area in the house but still beautifully done. Bathers are very nice as well and water pressure was great. The deck was nice with beautiful views. Nice table to eat and and outside furniture around the fire-pit. I sat out there every morning with my coffe and drinking mimosas! The lake was great. Sandy area the kids could play in, with supplied toys! The dock was nice and great for the kids to jump off of. The hosts are fantastic. Very responsive and accommodating. Definitely recommen

We had the best family trip here. The house was great and location right on the lake. They had a private beach and a lot of water toys for all ages. We were able to rent a pontoon boat a couple of miles away for one day. Great outdoor deck with a grill, fire pit and table. We highly recommend it - we had our whole family of 12 there!

Great location for anglers and families. Super easy access to lake and a great outdoor gas fire pit on the deck to share fishing stories.
John and his wife were awesome host.

We had a wonderful rainy Labor Day weekend. We had 13 people. 10 adults two teenager and and 1 11 year old. Kids loved the vintage video game! It was raining and super chilly but we enjoyed the easy lake access! We hope to come back next summer. We cooked a ton. Kitchen was small but had most things we needed. If you are a serious cook bring some basics! House was tight because we were all inside but when the rain stopped and we were able to get outside it was perfect!

We had a wonderful family reunion at this cabin. There was some noise and dust from construction on the first day only, but the owner resolved them immediately and the rest of the week was perfect. The lake access was good. We especially enjoyed the two kayaks and two paddle boards that were included!

This house was perfect for our family of 4 adults and 2 children. Access to the lake was very good (kind of a difficult walk down to the water, but it looks like the owners are planning to put in a better walkway), and the availability of 2 kayaks and a pedal boat and a big floaty in the cove was great. It was nice to have the sandy beach and chairs down by the water. Restaurants, groceries, and a marina with boat rentals was just minutes away. We also biked on the nearby Lake Almanor Recreation Trail, which was delightful. We even discovered that a hospital with an ER was available just minutes away in Chester! The only downside was that there is not much of a lake view from the house itself, but the cove with sandy beach made up for it. The house was beautifully furnished and decorated. The kids loved the game table and bunk bed room. A wonderful time was had by all!

A few minor things but told the owner about it….wasn’t aware of the construction going on next door! Dusty and noisy a couple days! Go on vacation for peace and quiet but bobcat etc started working at 6:30 am! We really enjoyed being with our family from Texas to Napa to Redding to Salem….. needed 2 places … we would have liked being together but….26 is a big party!

We love the slower pace and natural beauty of Lake Almanor and our stay in this neighborly cove did not disappoint. The owners were welcoming, responsive, and generous which made us feel more than comfortable sharing a lot, dock and lake access with them. Plenty of space for 2 families of 5 with room to spare. We enjoyed great meals from the local restaurants as well. We will be back!

Perfect location. Beachfront property, close to gas, store, golf course and restaurants The basement game room was perfect for the kids. Full bathrooms on all three floors was very nice for family. No issues with the home at all, just had to relax and have fun.

Large clean accommodating home for a big family. Comfortable beds and 3 full bathrooms; one on each level. The trek to the cove was a little steep. Great communication with the owner. Our family had a wonderful time making memories at Almanor during our stay!

The Lake House was perfect for oir big family. The location was perfect. Just a quick walk onto a sandy beach with water toys and a great dock. John was so accomodating and answered my questions with a quick reply. A welcome baskey was waiting for us with wine and lots of goodies which was so very nice. It was our first time at Lake Almanor and we fell in love with it. Will definitely be returning. Thank you John and Susan for a great time..Carolyn & Steve

The house was well stocked, well decorated, and comfortably accommodated our large group. The property was very close to the beach and we had use of a private sandy beach during our stay. We had a wonderful time and would consider renting this property again.

We had a wonderful stay! Really cozy and inviting. This house is great for multiple families to share as each level has it's own bedroom and bathroom. Great location in a beautiful cove. The owners have a house on the same lot, so they are close by to help if anything comes up.

Cute and cozy! Great for a weekend with the family. Our visit was a cold weekend in November with snow! It would be great in the summer with opportunities to enjoy the water and the beach and the deck. The spiral staircase has a safety gate at the top which was much appreciated! We were a party of 8 adults and 5 children. Comfortable for the cold weekend. Kids enjoyed the downstairs bunk room. Thanks again for sharing your property and was also nice to meet you!

We stayed 3 nights at this beautiful lake home. It was decorated nicely, had lots of extra pillows and bedding, the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked for all of our cooking needs. They even had a first aid kit that we ended up needing and were thankful to have access to. The host, John, gave us a wonderful wine basket welcoming gift which was enjoyed by all of us! John was excellent with communicating with us and the check in process was a breeze. We would love to come back and go fishing or kayaking someday. We just had no spare time on this trip. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Can't say enough good things about this home. Loved how the house was decorated and very clean. Already booked again for next July when the water hopefully will be higher. Owner always on call as needed.

This property was perfect for my family! We have 6 kids total and the basement area was perfect for them to play and sleep. John and Susan are very kind and generous. They left us a beautiful gift basket and were always willing to help when needed. All beds are extremely comfortable which is hard to find with Rentals. House was fully stocked and had everything we needed for our stay. I highly recommend this property for a family getaway to the lake.

Hamilton Branch stay
This cabin was amazing, perfect location, with view of the lake, very clean cabin. Lots of amenities, great layout with great beds, all linens provided, top of the line furniture. Big outdoor decking to enjoy including a fun fire pit, great BBQ, with lots of outdoor furniture and umbrellas for shade. Patio boat moored in the cove just below the cabin available to rent at an amazing price. Paddle boards, kayaks also free to use. What more could you ask for. We'll be going back next summer to stay in this beautiful cabin.

Awesome house and location!
We absolutely loved our stay here. The house is amazing and so many beds! We were very comfortable. The owners have provided pretty ouch everything you would need to be comfortable. They even have a super awesome espresso maker! That was a hit! Fun toys for the water as well as a great deck with outdoor seating. Bbq was amazing. We brought our flat grill as well and cooked just about everything outside on the wrap around deck. The decor was super cute and the tv was really easy to use. The owners left a really nice basket with wine and snacks. John was always available if we had any questions. Super nice! Parking was also super easy. Plenty of room! We didn’t want to leave. It was so great! We can’t wait to come back!

Lake House at Lake Almanor
John and Susan were wonderful hosts. They answered all our questions and made us feel welcome. We were a multi -generational family and we all had a fun time at the lake. We rented the pontoon boat which is available and had a great time cruising the lake. The house is excellent shape and well maintained.

Great Weekend!
Plenty of room to either be together or have our own space. The Teenage girls loved the downstairs bunk area. We're big on cooking, the kitchen just a bit small for all of us (lol), but everything we needed was there. (Generally speaking, sometimes there is no cabinet room for our groceries in vacation rentals - so we used alot of counter space in that respect). Clean, comfortable, the owner is very responsive, parking a bit quirky but easily figured out (again, with owners quick response), all and all beautiful weekend in a beautiful house. Definitely on my list of do-overs.
