Great home base for fishing weekend

We stayed at the house for a fly fishing weekend, and had a great time. The house was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. We had some great fishing within a short drive. Would definitely stay there again.

Great family stay!

We had the best time at Hat Creek. The property was amazing. Clean, organized, comfy beds, and great communication. The hospitality was amazing: note and welcome wine from the owner and little welcome gifts for our 2 kids. Loved that they allowed our 12 lb Shoh Tzu to join us too. Easily accessible to many outdoor ventures and There is a grocery store and gas about 10 min away. Highly recommend!

A Cozy Getaway…

We had a great time staying here! Our host was super communicative and the place felt just like home from the start. We were there for 4 days for an event and did do some exploring on the trail roads right off the highway outside of the driveway and to the rivers to plan our next trip up. If we had more time we would have fished at the local river and creeks. Hunting season must be amazing there and this place is set up for gear if you have it. We felt totally safe and secure with no worries for our kids who can roam a little and the dogs. Thank you for a great experience!

We had a wonderful stay. The home was well equipped and comfortable. The neighborhood was off the main road and quiet. The property was centrally located with short drives to Lassen and Burney falls. Although there were only two of use the place had ample room for a larger family. I highly recommend this property. Hope we can return someday.

What a wonderful cabin! This place was better than our homes. I came with my daughter, my partner and his daughter, both girls are 11-year old kids, and we couldn't get enough of the cabin. So cozy, stylish and modern, it feels like a home I'd love to have. The temperature control works seamlessly. Great selection of games and DVDs. Perfect location between Burney Falls and Lassen entrance/Manzanita Lake. Communication was easy, please note the PIN is sent in the very first email, so I was a little slow on that, but Ron went above and beyond to help us. He's very kind and generous. We love the north and Shasta and hoping to come back one day.

Great stay in a nice quiet area

The house/cabin is situated off the main highway at the end of a short 1/4 mile gravel road, so there is no traffic running by the house. There are a handful of other houses nearby, but they are far enough away that one doesn't even notice them...it is VERY quiet. We stayed 10 days and found the house to be super clean and everything seemed new and fresh. There was nothing that felt old or dirty. The temperature thermostat worked great and we always had the place at a temperature that was comfortable to us. The hot water was hot! (too many rentals like to keep their hot water at annoying lukewarm temps). I found the bed in the Master Bedroom to be extremely comfortable and I always slept well. The owner is quickly available for unseen problems...we had an uninvited mouse in the house and when we reported the problem to the owner, he took care of it right away---no delay. The nearest town is Burney, about 15 minutes away...they have all the businesses one could need...I love Burney, a little unpretentious town that at times is quirky...I just hope it stays that way...I don't want big city folk "discovering" it and then gentrify it with art and silly gift shops.

This cabin/house was one of the cleanest I have stayed at. The owner was super responsive with any questions. This are is very remote which we wanted but due to snowfall we weren’t able to do all hiking we wanted, so we did have to drive a bit to find things to do. Overall we really enjoyed the stay.

Excellent all around

Great location between many natural attractions. Ron furnished a great deal of info left in the unit. We cook meals and nearby Burney has Safeway and a large discount grocery. All necessary items were supplier per the listing … in very adequate quantities and selection. We really enjoyed our time in the cabin and the area. Not sure the future will bring us back that way but woul definitely stay on Ron’s home again.
