About this property

lake-front cabin, beautiful view!

We would like to welcome you to our historic lake-front family cabin. Sit on the deck and enjoy a peaceful view of the lake completely unobstructed and spend time with loved ones on beautiful Lake Almanor! This has been our family's favorite getaway for over 40 years and we would love to share that experience with you.

As one of the first cabins ever built on lake Almanor, it was originally constructed as vacation property for the famous Red River Lumber Co. in the 1920's. When our family purchased the property in 1972 it was expanded notably while retaining a majority of the original architecture.

The main level has the living room, kitchen and bathroom. Each wall is adorned with windows as well as a sliding glass door to the deck giving you a transparent view of the lake from the comfort of the living room.

The upstairs has a large master bedroom and bathroom with separate bathtub and shower as well as lake facing window with an exquisite view.

The lower level is accessed by a separate entrance, downstairs from the deck on the main level. It has two bedrooms, one queen and one double bed as well as a shared bathroom with shower.


Beds - 1 king and 1 twin daybed with trundle underneath (upstairs), 1 queen and 1 double (lower level)

Please feel free to call with any questions, I would be happy to fill you in on any specific details!

Please note that at Lake Almanor all of the docks are dry docked during the off season due to fluctuating lake levels. Our dock is typically out sometime during Memorial Day weekend (could be out all weekend and could just get out on that Monday depending on the dock service schedule) and it typically is taken back in in October early or late depending on lake levels and weather conditions. 2021 we were very delayed due to staffing shortages from all service providers around the lake, we are looking forward to a regular schedule again in 2022! so, if you are looking at dates close to those in and out dates please contact me first to make sure it will be out there. Thanks!

Thanks!
Tyler

Charming cabin with unbeatable view
We enjoyed a family weekend getaway to this historic cabin with a gorgeous view. There was lots of hiking around and we did some trails but we mostly stayed around the cabin enjoying the view, relaxing, and playing horseshoes. We found everything we needed and had a wonderful time. No doubt this an old cabin that is slightly outdated but it’s clean and comfortable. The host was communicative and welcoming. I want to go again!

Family gathering place
The location, views, and lake access were fantastic for our needs however there were some safety concerns. Inside stairs to top floor had no railing on one side and the gas wall heater at the bottom of the stairs posed a danger toddlers. Also, the deck was fantastic for adults buts 2 year old and dog was able to fit between rails so it posed a fall hazard. Stairs to roadside parking were a bit unsteady. First impression of the place was disappointing as there was trash scattered all over outside. That was probably caused by a bear's access to the trash can. We did see bear scat around the yard. The insde was dusty and the bathrooms only had half rolls of toilet paper. There were not enough towels and washcloths for everyone (example: downstairs had one bathroom that was shared by 2 bedrooms but it only had one towel). The sofa bed on main floor was broken and could not be used. Owner stated he will be replacing that soon. Despite the deferred maintenance, cleaning, and stocking we did have a great time. The open floorplan on the main level with the deck was great for our multi generational family to gather and enjoy each other's company. We just did not anticipate having to purchase toilet paper, dish soap, towels, shampoo, paper towels, etc. It would have been nice to have some board games or puzzles, etc. like other VRBO places have had for us in the past.
