Great vacation house for families or 4 guys that love fishing and golfing. Super clean, well stocked and the game room is awesome. And it's in a great location.
Out host was inviting and available. The Big Dipper is lovely, very clean and in a convenient location. The kitchen is well stocked and immaculate. The beds are comfortable and the linens seem new. The fenced in areas were perfect for our dog. Everyone enjoyed the game room too! We would love to rent both the Big and Little Dipper nest year.

Thank you! We are so glad you had a nice stay! Looking forward to having you back!
This is a great place to take the family. Nice size, clean, well stocked with things you need, communication with the host was awesome, they always got back to me quickly. We would definitely stay there again.
Had a great and convenient stay. House was clean and as advertised. The game room was a fun place to hang out. would definitely recommend staying at Big Dipper.
This house was amazing for our quick getaway. The game room was a huge hit for the whole family. The owners were super sweet and the communication was great. Definitely recommend.
This property was absolutely fantastic. Had everything we needed. Linens, towels, kitchen supplies, A game room that had plenty of activities for all ages. The honors were very responsive to a couple of questions I had. The beds were extremely comfortable. Showers had excellent water pressure and temperatures. Convection stove top oven and microwave made home-cooked meals very easy. We would absolutely stay there again and recommend it to our friends and family.
We stayed at the Big Dipper in September to attend a wedding in Almanor. The unit was very well appointed, very clean and comfortable for our party of four. The cabin has everything you need for a weekend or week and the property owners were very easy to communicate with. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay on your next visit to Lake Almanor.
This was a perfect spot for us and our adult kids. It was close to Big Cove where we have friends and it was a nice quiet neighborhood. We could see the lake through the trees. Perfect layout & size of the house plus a nice little game room, which came in handy because the water was too choppy on Saturday to take the boat out!
We took son and grandkids for a little get away to Lake Almanor and this was the perfect place! Lots of room for everyone, well stocked kitchen- even a bag of ice in the freezer! Kids loved the game room and we all cozied up and watched movies at night in the living room with reclining sofa seats and snuggly blankets. Perfect after a day of fun at the lake!
Loved our stay! Perfecr for our family and pets. As pet owners we are always glad to bring our fur children but some places that allow animals are dirty from pet use. Not this place! Having respectful boundries and rules makes it so i felt clean in this home the whole time!
This property was great. We came up for a relaxing weekend and it did not disappoint. Everything was accurately listed in the description. Owners were very responsive. The house was super clean. It except pets but you would never know it. Everything was well stocked. They even had cookies, popcorn and hot chocolate available. It was close to the lake, restaurants and a short drive into Chester. We’ll definitely be back in the summer with the wife and kids.
