Our family of 11, with 5 kids stayed 5 nights as our final summer fun before school starts! We had a wonderful time. The house was perfect, the deck amazing and the water toys were just perfect. It was so amazingly quiet and serene the entire stay. The house is so generously supplied with everything you might ever need. The WiFi was awesome as several grownups still had to link in with work. We will be back next year.

Great Location and House

This house is beautiful! Right on the lake! The weather wasn’t the greatest but we were still able to enjoy the lake and water toys provided. The lake is so full right now and yes you can hear the lake lapping the shore from the house. The description of the house is right on point. The location is perfect! We will return next summer for sure. Everyone had a great time!!

Friendly Owners

The owners were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the dock was broken and the paddleboats did not work. We also had some difficulty with pests, but I am sure that as the season progresses this problem will be eradicated

Response from VrboOwner on 13 Jul 2021
We are sure sorry you had trouble. We think someone hit one of the pontoons on the dock. It is fixed now. The one paddleboat did work on one side, the other was broken on both sides and the builder could not get us parts so I ordered another new boat with a canopy. Kids leave the screen doors open and bats come into the house and are very hard to get out. Bats, mice, and ants are an ongoing problem when you have a house in the forest.

Summer trip

The owner puts a lot of energy in making your stay as comfortable as possible. Being right on the lake is great and if you have a boat there is a buoy right off shore. There is a place for an rv or camper but the road noise can be very bad in the early morning. We had a challenge with very noisy neighbors. If the hadn’t been there our stay would have been even better.

Location

Really is on the water and no bank, so great property. We were the first renters of the season. We did not have a dock, it broke when they tired to put it in for the year. That was important to my whole trip but can't blame the owner, no way to fix it one day before a holiday weekend. Great for families, really 2 regular bedrooms and 2 more bunk house type bedrooms.

Beautiful time at the Lake

This house was a perfect get away for our family. The lake is the best feature. We had a dock, buoys, paddle boards, kayaks, paddle bot all available for our use. The grand kids loved it. Our boat stayed tied up with us at the house. The lake was awesome for all the tow behind toys. We had hours and hours of fun every day. The kids played on the beach, dock, and in the water, and used the kayaks and paddle boards. The house had plenty of room. The deck outside was a great feature. Lots of table space, lounge chairs galore. Beautiful views of Lassen. Good vacation. We will be back.

Lakefront property

We had a fun family time, group of 8 plus baby. We enjoyed quiet beautiful views from master bedroom & dining room deck. As it is renting anywhere, it all depends on the neighbors. Thankfully, the noisy neighbors left. The host, Don, is one of the best. He truly wants you to enjoy his home and does all he can to help things work out for the best for you.We caught 3 or 4 cute bats that got into the home and figured out how to navigate fluxuating water pressure in this older home.We rented a boat from Knotty Pine and picked up the family at the dock of the home. They loved that!We all really enjoyed the home and are grateful for the opportunity to rent from Don. Super host. Great stay. Thank you!

Beautiful Week in Almanor

We had wonderful time at Don's house (our group ranged from age 20-82!!!) - the house had room for all and very nice deck with ample seating. Because of the boat ramp we could easily get in/out of the Lake. The beds were all very comfortable and the supplies were ample. The boat dock was a problem, it is like a "floating marshmallow" and not really safe for older people to try to navigate (Don is working on repairing his better dock that got damaged in last winters storms) but the nice neighbors gave us permission to use their dock. There are also 2 buoys available. We hadn't been to the Lake since 2021 when we had to leave because of all the smoke and ash. Although sad to see all the burnt forests the surrounding of the Lake looks great and the water temp is wonderful!! Thank you for a great week!!!

Awesome Place!

We didn't have the greatest weather but the place had plenty to do anyway and we had an awesome time. There were kayaks, ping pong, paddle boats, great outdoor seating, and a big sunroom and table to play games. There is a boat ramp and small dock on the property and beautiful views of Lake Almanor and Mount Lassen. There is a small rocky beach that works well with water shoes and swimming and boating are really convenient. We were out in the water every day and BBQing and playing games every night. The bedrooms are big with plenty of beds. The area is very quiet at night even though the highway and train tracks are fairly close. We didn't hear any highway noise or trains. The kitchen is fully stocked with plenty of cooking gear and utensils. There are both a gas grill and webber outside for BBQ needs. The Wifi was awesome too. I would highly recommend and hope to stay there again in the future!

Smoky. Visit

The location is fabulous. The supplies and various equipment...inside and out was also terrific. The wildfire ash and smoke made it hard, but we all managed to have a great time. My only negative comment is that the gathering spaces inside the house are more appropriate for 8-10 people. We had 6 adults and 5 children, and it was very crowded. The outside areas are wonderful.

Fun times were had by all

We had a great week with our family of 15. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. The younger kids loved the room with all of the bunk beds. It was their own hideaway. Our older kids wanted to sleep in a tent which we were able to put right next to the house. The outdoor space, especially the patio with the large outdoor table was amazing. We ate every meal out there, enjoying the beautiful view,. It was a great space for playing games and visiting. We had a great week.

Location, location, location...AAA+

Our annual family reunion was a huge success at this East Shore Home. The location has a stunning view of Mt. Lassen, and the shore is just steps away from the house. We found the kitchen to be somewhat small for our group of 16, but we were otherwise pleased with the accommodations; comfortable beds and clean bathroom.

Perfect Location and Property to Match!

Tired of the mundane resort getaways that essentially just provide you the same thing you meant to leave behind in the first place (i.e. big screen tv; over-priced rooms, crowded with obnoxious tourists and just another city destination - completely opposite of a vacation)..well, then you've found the right property! This rustic and comfortable cabin sits right on the shores of Lake Almanor; has its own dock and even a boat ramp to accommodate the fishermen of the family. Crisp, fresh mountain air with a gorgeous view of Mt. Lassen clearly visible in the background. This is the location that naturally brings each visitor to a peaceful bliss the minute they step foot on the grounds. The home is supplied with all necessities (paper plates, cups, toilet paper, linen, barbecue utensils, plenty of bedding for larger groups, washer/dryer, dishwasher, etc. and much more!). A beautiful deck with seating that invites you to sink in and relax immediately. Table seating can handle big groups with ease. Better yet, family poker night will be a blast! Fishing couldn't be better - rainbow trout and brown trout for the wise and patient fishermen are in abundance. Water sports and toys are always an option. Water toys, paddle boat and canoe are already provided. Horseshoe entertainment can be a fun afternoon event. The owners respect your privacy and yet, are only a phone call away if assistance is required. Both Don and Cheryl were absolutely wonderful hosts and it is very clear that this property is maintained with much love. I could go on forever but just know - this is the supreme destination if you are a true fan of the outdoors and what it has to offer. Within a few steps of the lake you couldn't ask for more! The surroundings are stunning with sightings of bald eagles and osprey not uncommon. Loved it - and yes, will definitely be back!

As you know many of our guests come back year after year to stay with us. They know that we will do whatever it takes to make their stay the best it can be and provide the best accommodations possible. Thank You So Much, Cheryl and Don

Amazing Property

This is at the very top of being a wonderful property! Great location on the lake and the house is wonderful also. Bring your food and cloths, everything else is included. Very quiet location on the lake, with great views. Your own boat launching ramp, very large dock, boat buoys, and jet ski ramps which allowed us to not to put the skis back on the trailers or anchor in the water. Just a wonderful place to stay and beds for our very large group, and all the beds were really comfortable. We will be coming back for sure!

We are so glad you had a wonderful time at our lake house. The beach is a trade off for a full lake. Back to back good winters and the lakes stay full. We are going to remove part of the breakwater and make part of the beach area slope up from the shore to allow for a beach no matter how high the water gets. The kids all love the bunk room downstairs with the 3 bunk beds that sleep 9 total. Hope you come back again real soon! Thank You and your family for staying with us at Lake Almanor. Best to you all, Don & Cheryl

Perfect for a family vacation

We are a family of 14 from Massachusetts, Texas, New Jersey, and California who gather every two years to enjoy each other. This lake house was perfect! The website was complete enough, and Don was always available for questions, so we could choose it unseen. The house and water’s edge were accessible for our one that has mobility issues. The outside eating area was so perfect, we did all our cooking and eating out there. The tables were big enough for all of us to eat together. The boat dock, ramp, and jet ski ramps were in excellent condition. This lake is so clear, you can see the bottom out in the middle. The house was clean and we had all the basics provided, so we did not have to go to the store. There were ample parking spaces for all our vehicles with space to spare. The weather was perfect.. It was a wonderful place for us to gather and we highly recommend it.

Has all one needs

What can I say. This was our 6th consecutive year that we have stayed at Don's and Cheryl's home at Lake Almanor. And, we coming back this next summer. The place is everything we want. It is comfortable, clean, a great beach, especially for the kids, launch ramp and dock. Love eating breakfast in the lake facing sun room and dinner on the deck looking out over the lake and sunset over Mount Lassen. A perfect location. Had the opportunity to meet Don and Cheryl this last summer and enjoyed the time together. We are coming back in 2017.

Charming home with beautiful lake views

We stayed at this cozy cabin for a week in July 2012, total of 4 adults and 4 children (ages 12-14). This was our first trip up to Lake Almanor, and we were impressed with the beauty of the area. This home is right on the lake with lots of flat beach area, so it's convenient for watching children playing on the beach. Don and Cheryl were at the cabin upon our arrival and greeted us with an enthusiastic and friendly welcome. They gave us some quick pointers and information about the home and the area, which was very helpful. The home came fully stocked with lots of essentials from toilet paper to paper plates and utensils, more than we've experienced in any other rental home. It is quite cozy; with 8 of us the living area felt a little small, but we spent the majority of our time outdoors. The important thing was it was clean and well organized. We had to call them to fix a plumbing issue, and they handled the situation immediately and had a plumber out to the house as soon as possible. Overall, we enjoyed the home and our time together. The kids had such a great time playing on the beach and jumping off the dock. A couple notes unrelated to the home: we noted that the lake does get pretty choppy by late morning. We brought our ski boat (crossover ski/wakeboarding boat), and it took quite a beating out on the buoy due to the waves. The bracket and screw that holds our back platform broke from the rough water while tethered to the buoy. The best water is of course early morning for skiing/boarding or late afternoon as the wind calms down. Other than that, the lake is beautiful with lots of scenery. Our friends took the kayak out on the lake provided at the home to enjoy the beautiful area. After our trip we received a thank you note from Don and Cheryl, asking for any other feedback. Such a nice thought. I appreciate their thoughtfulness and their concerns to make the home comfortable for all their guests. Thank you for a memorable vacation!

Great week at the Lake

We love our week at the lake! This was our 4th summer with 3 families and our teens. Don and Cheryl have a beautiful lakeside property with lots of amenities and they are very gracious people to rent from. We love sitting outside for dinner and watching the sun set with Lassen in the background. Even with this year's area fires, we still enjoyed our nearby hiking, biking on the Susanville trail and boating/jet skiing on the lake. The weather is perfect in the summer; hot but not too hot, and the lake is perfectly refreshing after a hike, mountain bike ride, or just sitting outside in the sun. Chester is a cool little town with many fun shops. We love the fudge shop, the Lassen Gift Co, and the soft serve ice cream shop! This year's house changes were terrific: we appreciate not having to make/change the beds, do the linen laundry and take the garbage/recycling to the dump. It's now very easy to come and go from the house maximizing our vacation time. Thanks Don and Cheryl.

A great family place

We had a great time. Perfect place for a family. This was the second consecutive summer my wife and I and my children and grandchildren (6 adults and 6 children) spent a week at his house. We already reserved a week for the next summer and another memorable stay. I did look at other places, this one has the perfect setting: A comfortable house on the lake, with a great beach for the kids, boat ramp, dock and mooring for the boat and beautifull sunsets with the sun framed by the lake and Mount Lassen in the distance. Evening fishing from the dock was great. It is as close to god's country as it gets. Driving west on A13 to Chester for supplies the road seems to run into Mt. Lassen. from the deck of the house we have seen eagles, falcons and ospreys competing for fish, a magnificent site. The owners, Don and Cheryl, are very kind and accomodating. We arrived to a clean house, and we try to care of it as if it was our own place, because we would like to be welcomed back. We are comingback next summer.

Great House!

I searched around to find a special place to stay for a 50th birthday celebration in combination with a location with a good view of the annular solar eclipse. We were not disappointed - the house really does live up to the description, and the photos do not do the views justice. We all enjoyed the access to the water, especially one particular friend who brought his boat, knowing there was a boat launch and buoy available. We saw bald eagles and ospreys (one couple that went out on the house's kayak saw said bald eagle bring down said osprey, and devour it in the place we later dubbed "dead osprey cove"). I think my favorite activity sipping my morning cup of coffee outside in order to enjoy the view of Mt Lassen over the lake in those quiet moments before chaos erupted with the rest of the household waking up. Thanks - a great time was had by all, and we'll keep it in mind for a return trip.

We would love to have you back sometime in the future. Thank you for caring for our home so well. It makes us very happy when our guests have such a wonderful time. Thank you also for saying the house does live up to it's description. The eagles and osprey are awesome to watch up there. There are several nests in the trees that are really close to the house. We have traveled all over and have never seen that type of interaction before. We are so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks again, Don and Cheryl Schricker
