Home Near Lake Almanor, 1/2 Mile to Boat Launch!

Overall, the house was nice, the location was peaceful and accessible to Lassen National Park, and our group had a great weekend. The house comfortably fit the five of us, and its proximity to Prattville and the Holiday Market was awesome. But there were some issues to note. The hot tub didn’t work despite it being advertised as part of the reservation - minor but just to consider when booking. There was only one roll of toilet paper when we entered the property and only one dishwasher pod. More toilet paper was delivered in the morning, but the host didn’t bring dishwasher pods when requested and eventually stopped responding completely. The electric stove was also difficult to use, which was a bummer since there aren’t too many restaurants in the area. Most of the plates in the cabinets were also unwashed, and the showers had hair in it. In sum, this is a good option if you’re looking to spend a weekend near Lassen but I probably wouldn’t stay here again.

We had a good stay in Chester. A few things to note… when we arrived, the hot tub was only half full. Luckily, after quick communication with the folks who maintain the home, it was fixed by the next evening, which we were grateful for. Thank you! What was a larger issue was the lack of supplies and preparation of the home. Our stay was 2 nights, and the toilet paper & single paper towel roll ran out halfway through our stay (& we looked everywhere for more). There was only 1 small dish towel & we luckily found a sponge tucked far away in a random cabinet. The bath towels are in poor condition & it took forever to find sheets for the trundle beds (which ended up being in a closet that looked like it should have been locked, we were lucky someone left it unlocked). The living room only seats 4-5 people. This home would have worked better for that number of people, but didn’t seem prepared to host a larger group with plans to cook (ours was 7). Otherwise, we had a nice stay.

Great stay! The home was very clean and had plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable. It’s located in a quiet area, which made it perfect for relaxing. Communication with the owner was smooth, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. It was also easy to get inside, making the whole experience stress-free. Would definitely stay again!

This is our second time staying here with our friends in the winter. It is very family friendly and is a great cozy home. The hot tub is a plus also and the communication was great!
