Location was stunning, a great lake! The home is nice and can accommodate a lot of people easily. The only downside was the steep drive and parking. If you're a city slicker like me, it was a bit dauting.
We were very very pleased with our stay! The accommodations were excellent and the kitchen and bedrooms were well stocked with everything we needed and more. The location is very nice- beautiful scenery and the directions to get to the cabin were explained in great detail. We will definitely be recommending and some of the family will look forward to returning! Thank you!!
We always want clean VRBO rentals, and this one was very clean. Amenities were okay, but we were surprised to find out there is no WiFi. Cell signal was good, but I could not connect my laptop. No issues with bringing our dog. View of the lake is superb, but highway traffic noise was sometimes distracting. Also, we had to haul away our own trash, not a bit deal, just a nit. Overall, it was a good rental for our vacation weekend.
Beautiful Lake View!! We rented this house for a week at the Lake for a family reunion. One daughter and family came from Sacramento and the other from Bend Oregon. A great place to meet. We had 9 total and the house comfortably slept all nine. As other reviewers have mentioned, an additional bathroom downstairs would have been ideal for this large of a group. The house is rented often in the summer and it is not stocked well with basic items (TP, Papertowels, hand sanitizer, towels, hair dryers) so bring your own! Best grocery store is in Chester which is about 25 minutes away. Semi-private beach was nice but narrow. Dogs loved swimming there. Deck is perfect for dogs, but due to very busy CA147, not an ideal spot for long dog walks. Had to do a bit of cleaning outside when we first arrived to get rid of spiderwebs and tree droppings, but to be expected in the woods. Bought yellow jacket traps from ACE Hardware that we hung from the porch which did the trick. Neighbors were doing a major construction job for several days that did not make it pleasant to be outside, but we were generally out and about during the day. Did a nice day trip to Lassen NP and rented a pontoon from Big Cove Marina for a day on the lake that all enjoyed. Unfortunately, the Park Fire started at the end of our stay and we were impacted a bit by the smoke.
We had a wonderful stay at Lisa's cabin. I spent a lot of time on the deck with a book and a cup of coffee in the mornings and a cocktail in the evenings. The views are stunning. The neighborhood is quiet. It was a perfect vacation for my husband, our grown daughters and their friends. The kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes, baking pans and cutting boards we needed. Each bedroom had a ceiling fan except for one which had a standing fan in the closet (which is such a thoughtful touch, so nice to be able to cool the house down in the late evening and early morning). The lake was quite full so there wasn't much of a beach across the street but we loved it anyway. It was so easy to go down the street, across the highway and down the stairs for a swim several times a day. We went to Canyon Dam beach (which is a short drive away) once but we loved our little secluded beach and spent most days there. Since the fires, there's no longer trash pickup service so you need to take your trash and recycling to the transfer station before departing. It's a short drive away and was only $10.98 for as much as you needed to drop off. We would highly recommend staying here, the cabin was great and Lisa was a wonderful host.
The house was surface clean but we still vacuumed (dog hair on rugs) and there were cobwebs. Outside of that, it was great. The kitchen could have been more organized but overall, they had most things I would keep stocked like baking pans and pots. We definitely loved the deck and outside adventure options like visiting the lake and playing hide and seek all around the property. We look forward to going back!
Overall this was a great little house overlooking the lake on the East Shore. Perfect for our gathering of 8 without being crowded. Lisa was a doll to talk to and very friendly. Expectations were clear and easy.
