About this property

Uncle Johnnie's Lakefront Fishing Cabin

Lake Almanor is located 165 miles north of Sacramento, nestled amongst the pines where the Cascade Mountains meet the Sierra Nevadas. At elevation 4500 feet it is the third largest manmade lake in California and best known for its prime hunting and fishing grounds.

There are two golf courses on the lake, Bailey Creek in the peninsula & a nine hole at Lake Almanor West. OK, we're fishermen, not golfers! Mount Lassen National Park is just 26 miles away, has hiking (to the top!), picnicking, and very scenic views. Play tennis in the peninsula or bike around the lake (many other trails for cycling to choose from).

This cozy home is situated on the east shore of Hwy 147. Just about the middle of the 8 mile strip at 3907 Hwy 147, Lake Almanor, CA 96137. Enjoy sunsets on the deck or fish right off the dock. Bring your boat, there's plenty of excellent fishing holes around. During the summer months we rent Friday to Friday. Truly is a nice spot on the lake.

Shopping and antiquing can be found in all the quaint old fashioned towns around the area. Dine out in Chester, the peninsula, try Westwood's famous Buffalo Chips Pizzeria ("Cabin Fever" is our favorite).
For a truly affordable vacation on the lake this is the place.

Supper friendly host

Booked this house for my husbands fishing trip with the boys. They had an awesome time and the host was super helpful and communication was great. Only thing that would have made ot perfect was if the dock was in the water. Wasnt very shore fishing friendly.

Uncle Johnnie's Cabin was a big hit

Uncle Johnnie's Cabin was a big hit for our group of four fishermen. The cabin was very comfortable for us. The two bedrooms and adjoining bathrooms are good size. The cabin is clean, in great condition and nicely decorated. We were there for 4 days/3 nights to fish. To stay at a lakside cabin is so convenient for us on kayaks and a boat. As the cook of the group I appreciated the large, clean refrigerator, cabinet full of pots, pans, utensils, and plenty of spices and oil. The large table on the back deck with a new Weber, 3 burner, Spirit grill was our afternoon and evening gathering spot to talk about the ones that got away. Thank you Deborah for being a gracious host!

Great Little House On The Lake

Our family had a great time at the house. The photos don’t really do the place justice. Its no frills but everything you need to be comfortable and of course, right on the water. House was clean and stocked with all the essentials (including basics for my 1 yr old), host was communicative, etc.

Great property for lakeside stay

Our stay was great with plenty of room for the two of us and a visitor. Owners allowed our two dogs and we were able to use an expandable gate on the deck to have them outside with us. Watched the sunset every night and enjoyed the mornings out there. The kitchen is well stocked with basics. Location is very convenient to town but not too close to busy areas. Would definitely recommend.

Great 2 bedroom home

Our stay at Johnnie’s cabin was wonderful. Has everything you need. Both bedrooms had a comfortable bed. The living room had a pullout bed that was also nice for kids. The backyard had enough chairs to sit area a round table to enjoy the beautiful view of the lake. There are also chairs under the deck to put on the dock to sit and enjoy. We all had a great time! Will rent here again. Our host, Deborah was on top of all our questions and needs. You won’t be disappointed with this place.

Wonderful stay at the lake

We had a great stay at Uncle Johnnie's fishing cabin. My husband and I had our teenagers, toddler and two black labs. It was definitely a slice of heaven to be out on the dock with our entire family. We brought our paddle boards and kayaks and easily launched them from the dock. Our toddler appreciated the toys left for her to enjoy. We stayed in and cooked every day in the well stocked kitchen. Our dogs had so much fun on this trip, they didn't wanna come home. We will be booking again in the future. Thanks Debbie!

Birthday getaway

This property is located right on the lake. The cabin is well thought out with both bedrooms having a private bath. The kitchen is stocked with everything you’ll need. If I could give one recommendation it would be to have an umbrella holder on the dock and/or a flat spot on the yard to secure an umbrella and chairs. We couldn’t enjoy the dock as much because there was no place to put an umbrella for shade. Same goes for the dirt lawn that had too much slope and extremely limited shade. We had to chase the shade around and as result spent most of the time on the back deck with a table and chairs. This place is adorable and has tons of potential. But not recommended for children or seniors.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Molea

Host profile image
We purchased the home in 1999 as strictly a business investment. Little did we realize how in love with the entire area we'd be. John loved to fish & sure could get his limit! Our family lives in the bay area but travel north to the home monthly. It's our favorite place to go!

Why they chose this property

The history of the Lake Almanor Basin is fascinating (we keep a book on the shelf to share with our guests). We found out the home was built in 1953 by Finnis Mack Saunders, nicknamed "Chief", a foreman for the Red River Lumber Company. The knotty pine walls & ceiling in the kitchen are priceless! We've respectfully done some remodeling while keeping the old world charm of the home. The well water is very good, plus extra filtration on the refrigerator door for cold drinking water. No need to bring bottled water. There's no curbside recycling so plastic water bottles just fill up the land waste!

What makes this property unique

Uncle Johnnie's Fishing Cabin is situated on the middle of the east shore & is truly a nice spot on the lake. We enjoy sharing the home as much as our guests enjoy vacationing there!
