About this property
Big Dipper - Winter Wonderland! No AiRBnB FEEs
Big Dipper is located a few hours north of Sacramento on the edge of beautiful Lassen National Forest. This inviting and cozy 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with filtered lake views awaits your family's memories. Located in a heavily wooded, quiet residential neighborhood, this home offers all the amenities that a family would need to relax and unwind. Whether it's relaxing by the fireplace, or exploring Lake Almanor, you're not too far from all the activities Plumas County has to offer.
Stargazer is a shared property with Little Dipper Studio (another short-term rental listing) which can be booked together if you’d like more space and/or the property all to yourself.) Big Dipper and Little Dipper are separated by 40 feet and a common lawn. They have separate driveways, parking, and outdoor seating. There are external cameras on walkways, garage, and entrances that monitor 24/7.
Game room (in heated garage) is for Big Dipper guests only and you have access with the same smart lock code as for the front door.
There's a rapid EV charger located off the driveway for guests to use
CA will be doing rolling blackouts this summer. This unit has an automatic propane-powered generator that kicks on when the power goes out. You never have to worry when the area is without power!
Guests will have access to the backyard including the gazebo, back/front decks and game room.
Unfortunately, after July 4, 2022, fires are no longer permitted in the fire pit because of the high fire danger in the area. Please DO NOT light an open pit fire.

During Covid outbreak we are taking extra cleaning precautions and happy to host. If you need space and fresh air this is the place. Big Dipper and Little Dipper are separated by 40 feet and a common lawn. They have separate driveways, parking, and outdoor seating. There are external cameras on walkways, garage, and entrances that monitor 24/7.
We love dogs at Stargazer. We ask that you never leave your pet unattended, never allow them up on furniture, in beds/blankets, and please clean up after your dog.
There is NO smoking or vaping allowed anywhere on the property.
Since our property is in CA, we are prone to rolling blackouts. These blackouts effect power (we have a back up generator) and internet. We have no control over when these blackouts occur, and while they’re short in duration, they can be an inconvenience. Most guests who experience the blackouts understand it’s temporary and enjoy the peace and quiet of this amazing property; however, if you are one that needs to be connected 24/7 with zero interruptions than this may not be the property for you. Please consider this prior to booking as there are no refunds due to inconveniences.
Finally, please remember that this is a rural property that is shared with Mother Nature. You may or may not see wildlife that can include, but not limited too, bears, deer, foxes, skunks, opossum, squirrels, mice, spider and mosquitoes. Please help up mitigate this risk or meeting wild life by not leaving food outside or in your car. Lock and secure all trash receptacles and ensure your pets are secure on leashes at all times.
