**This listing is for the entire Main Lakehouse Cabin exclusively (on the left when driving up). There is a secluded country guesthouse across the driveway behind a fence that sleeps 6 (on the right when driving up) on the property that is a rental as well (Ask us about renting it too!).**

**** Other Things to Note ****

**** Some key highlights to consider: ****

• The house, deck and patio are private. The property is shared between the guests of both houses and otherwise on the property.

• THERE IS NO DIRECT ACCESS TO THE LAKE FOR SWIMMING, the property is on a steep decline into the lake, guarded by trees and rocks.

• At times, the lake level is low and not visible from the deck, but can be seen from the edge of the property.

• The roads once you get off of the 70 highway heading into our property (Truex and Trevor) and all of the properties on them are private, and our neighbors are quite protective about that (you’ll see the signs), so please limit traveling on them slowly to getting in and out of the property only. DO NOT go beyond our driveway (which would be taking a right when leaving the driveway) on Trevor road as this is a private road.

• The refrigerator and freezer will be emptied, but we have a full array of dry seasonings and spices to cook with.

• The water and ice dispenser on the outside of the refrigerator does not work, but the faucet water is safe to drink, and there is ice in the freezer.

• This is a cabin with a septic system, so there are times that the guest bathroom has an odor when it is unused. Running water through the sink, shower and flushing the toilets helps eliminate it.

• Specifically for large towels, we provide one large towel per person, so 10 total for 10 guests, in order to reduce cleaning costs.

• We have brand new split units (wall units) in the living room and master bedroom, a portable AC unit (can be a bit on the louder side) and space heater set up in the guest bedroom, a fireplace in the living room, and space heaters for the bathrooms, for your comfort.

• We have four security cameras on-site, all are outside. One each faces the front of each house, and the other two are near the “Store” monitoring the backyard. They are on, but only trigger by extreme motion, such as cars driving through.

• While our property is very fun and offers lots of adventures, please be advised that there are dangerous elements such as steep slopes, play structures, high structures without railings, poisonous plants, poisonous/dangerous wildlife, holes, tall trees with brittle branches, rope swings, zip-lines, wildfire risks, mudslide risks, and many other dangerous or potentially deadly elements out of our control. You and your guests are at your own risks with no liability to the owners when you book our property.

• If you need to have mail sent to the property during your stay, send it via UPS or Fedex so that it is delivered to the front door. DO NOT SEND VIA THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE (USPS), since the mailbox is not accessible since it is a vacation property.

• For the Recycling Bin in front of the house, ONLY put empty cans, glass bottles, or plastic bottles in them. NO TRASH.

**** Guest Access ****

The house is located about 30 minutes southeast of Chico off of highway 70. There is about 0.5 miles of a non-lighted, gravel road leading to the driveway that can be easily navigated by all types of cars. The property offers plenty of space for parking several vehicles, including oversized vehicles such as RVs.

The house is equipped with a smart lock to allow hassle free check-in and easy access for all guests.

The roads once you get off of the 70 highway heading into our property (Truex and Trevor) and all of the properties on them are private, and our neighbors are quite protective about that (you’ll see the signs), so please limit traveling on them to getting in and out of the property only.

Please travel very slowly on the unpaved portion of the road leading up to our driveway.

Our stay was great. Myself and a few co workers stayed here while working in the area. The property made our say much more enjoyable than a standard hotel. We plan to return on the next phase of our project.

Family time at the home and on the Lake

We enjoyed the peaceful area and all of the amenities this home offered. The location was perfect to launch our boat at the nearby marina (Lime Saddle), which the owners communicated. Perfect spot to extend a few more days after moving our son into his Chico apartment. We will be back for sure!

Oroville Lake House

What a beautiful property and absolutely accommodating. We've not stayed in a more fully stocked property. If you are looking for a remote get away that is comfortable, well appointed and laid back, this could be your best choice for the Lake Oroville area. The property owners are helpful and very friendly.

Peaceful 4th of July!

We rented this beautiful house near the river to get away from the crazy fireworks in our neighborhood. Our dog is very fearful of fireworks, and this was the PERFECT retreat! We stayed five nights and explored Chico and Oroville. We found a wonderful dog-friendly restaurant in Oroville called Provisions and had the best lunch on their lovely patio with Buddy. The homeowners here couldn't have been nicer, and the home is beautifully well-appointed, with great appliances

Spring weekend getaway to Oroville

Well-maintained, lovely setting and perfectly positioned for a weekend adventure to the area. The Sampsons were super responsive and proactive. They also provide excellent information on how to use all the appliances, everything is well-labeled and clear, and we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Chris and Megen!!

Quiet Getaway

The place was in a quiet, secluded location. We saw deer every morning sitting on the deck drinking our coffee. We like to cook instead of going out and the kitchen was well stocked with pretty much everything we needed. The grill was great and we used it several times. If you like a quiet spot without traffic, this is your place!

Country Comfort

My daughter and I recently stayed in the smaller cabin on this private piece of beautiful country property and we look forward to bringing the rest of our family to stay in the larger main house in the future. We like our privacy and this was the perfect fit for us. The cabin is tastefully decorated and very comfortable! The kitchen provides everything you need to prepare meals and the cabin is well stocked with plenty of extra towels and linens. The host of this property went above and beyond our expectations to ensure our stay was enjoyable! He was quick to respond to any inquiries we had and even left us a thoughtful gift! I highly recommend this listing to anyone looking for all the comforts of home in a wonderful private setting.

True Home Away From Home!

My Fiancé and I absolutely loved this VRBO property! If you are looking for the place to feel at home among the nature and wildlife, this is it! Look no further. As soon as we arrived we saw wild turkeys. The whole time we stayed, we were met with all sorts of little amenities and the house was perfectly stocked with all sorts of cookware, utensils, flatware, and everything else you may need. It is off the beaten path a bit and that's exactly the kind of privacy we all need sometimes to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Thanks, Chris and Megen!
