The house is very quant. Lots of old trinkets and furniture that goes back to the 1950's. Big living room. The area around the house is quiet and is perfect for pets of any size. Its all gated so pets can roam. The house is old but charming. We had a nice stay.

Too smoky to stay.

There were several large fires that were closing roads and creating so much smoke that we were not able to stay in the home. There should be more photos of the area that the home is in. We had friends drive by and the homes next to this one and the neighborhood were less than desirable.

The property was not clean

My 1.5 year old grandson got hand foot and mouth. The beds had crumbs in them, on bed cover looked like it had barf on it, the vacuum was broken so I brought my personal shark down. The house was not clean and now my grandson is sick.

Very Cute Comfortable Cottage

We had a very comfortable stay at this very cute cottage home. It was spacious enough for the 6 of us & enough gathering space & a lovely fireplace to keep us all warm during Fall. The owner Carol & the manager next door were amazing, very quick response on any query & very helpful. I'm looking forward on coming back again.

Not Rustic but only Run Down

AVOID THIS PLACE! If this is supposed to be like Grandma's house, she must be dead and stored in the place somewhere. Dirty, unkempt, cold, small, with TV's, lights, plumbing and much more that did not work! Not worth the overpriced rate; better to be found in area. Glad to be gone; will not return.

Just like granny’s house (or my Aunt Effie’s house) in Alabama

We enjoyed our stay very much. If you’re expecting a luxury vacation this isn’t the place for you, but if you grew up or had family you stayed with in the country and you like quaint, comfy, antique-type old style furniture this may be the place for you. The neighborhood is older and parts of It are in poor shape, but our area was very quiet and the neighbors we met were very friendly. Lake Almanor is only 6 miles or so away—and my husband caught his biggest rainbow trout ever, 6 lbs plus (he did catch and release so it’s still there to grow and be caught again...) on our first day out. Exciting for us both! I’ve not spent time at Lake Almanor and now that I have I know why my husband loves the area so much—it’s absolutely some of the best of God’s country, gorgeous! We will be back! Oh, and did I mention the price us right?

A warm and comfy house that invites memories of grandma.

We highly recommend this neat, clean, spacious cottage. The yard had lots of romping room for our basset hounds and Carol and her husband are kind, wonderful folks who go the extra mile to make sure your stay is a comfortable one. Westwood is full of friendly, smiling people who don't hesitate to point visitors in the right direction. We will definitely be staying here again.

Charming cottage with easy access to outdoor recreation opportunities

This is a charming and rustic cottage that is nicely furnished and has a large outdoor patio. The kitchen is stocked with all the appliances you could need to cook up some great meals on your vacation. If you don't feel like cooking, there is also a great restaurant, Buffalo Chips, within walking distance (try the wings!). The landlord was friendly and easy to work with and the neighbors were also nice and helpful. The surrounding area is an outdoor paradise, where the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges meet. The rental is a great jumping off point to explore the Caribou Wilderness, Lassen Volcanic National Park, Lake Almanor and other nearby areas.

Was clean, relaxing, and felt at home.

The property was clean and in good condition. I liked it because it was like being at home. It wasn't so modern that you felt you might break something if you touched it. The owners were very nice and very good host. I would recommend it to anyone that wanted to relax, be comfortable, and enjoy the small town, their history and being only 2 hours from Reno, 1 hour from a National Park, and beautiful country side.

About the host

Hosted by Carol or Boya Faust

Host profile image
This was our family vacation home and when my parents passed away we were already in the vacation rental business and wanted to share this special place with family friends and guests.

I have always thought of Westwood as a fishing dream destination as I have spent so many hours chasing the trout here.

Why they chose this property

A Town is Born

Here in the heart of the wilderness
Where wildlife roamed at will
Amid primeval forest
Where even time stood still,
Where rushing rivers downward dashed
Through meadows green with waving grass
Snowy peaks towered to the skies
Amid smiling lakes that watched closeby.
Where the trees talked to the stars at night
And the moon looked down and smiled.
Where the breeze whispered secrets
And the lakes extend for miles.

Into this place of towering pines
Where natures voise excelled all chimes
Came man with ax and saw and blade
And out of this land so fair and free
a town was born for you and me.

In the heart of the Sierras
You will find it nestled there
The little town of Westwood
with traditions quaint and rare.

As years go by and times holds sway
its houses may fall into decay,
It's people may leave for parts unknown
The years and streets may be overgrown
Even the breeze may seem to sigh
with memories of the days gone by.

But in our hearts and in our minds
there will always be a Westwood
There among the pines.

By Ethel Hurd (recorded in 1949)

What makes this property unique

The Country Cottage is a very comfortable home that welcomes you to really relax, explore our town and the surrounding areas
I have placed a booklet in the home letting you in on some of our in town events, places to eat, and little known areas like the Subway Lave Caves to have to see to believe.

Everything is provided here. Just bring your toothbrush and clothes and food you want to eat unless you want to eat at our local restaurants. Buffalo Chips ( PIzza +++)
