About this property

Uncle Johnnie's Lakefront Fishing Cabin

Lake Almanor is located 165 miles north of Sacramento, nestled amongst the pines where the Cascade Mountains meet the Sierra Nevadas. At elevation 4500 feet it is the third largest manmade lake in California and best known for its prime hunting and fishing grounds.

There are two golf courses on the lake, Bailey Creek in the peninsula & a nine hole at Lake Almanor West. OK, we're fishermen, not golfers! Mount Lassen National Park is just 26 miles away, has hiking (to the top!), picnicking, and very scenic views. Play tennis in the peninsula or bike around the lake (many other trails for cycling to choose from).

This cozy home is situated on the east shore of Hwy 147. Just about the middle of the 8 mile strip at 3907 Hwy 147, Lake Almanor, CA 96137. Enjoy sunsets on the deck or fish right off the dock. Bring your boat, there's plenty of excellent fishing holes around. During the summer months we rent Friday to Friday. Truly is a nice spot on the lake.

Shopping and antiquing can be found in all the quaint old fashioned towns around the area. Dine out in Chester, the peninsula, try Westwood's famous Buffalo Chips Pizzeria ("Cabin Fever" is our favorite).
For a truly affordable vacation on the lake this is the place.

Beautiful Cozy Lake House
Deborah is very communicative and made the entire booking process so easy and stress-free. She’s such an amazing person overall. The cabin and property is very well managed. The cabin is very clean and cozy. I love how the cabin is decorated. Gotta love all the amenities and essentials the cabin has to offer! Plenty of books to read. If you love to cook, there’s plenty of kitchen utensils to use while you’re there. The scenery from the cabin is very beautiful! Very nice size deck to relax outside during the afternoon and evenings. Easy access to the lake from the cabin. Check-in & checkout process was very easy. Definitely made some awesome memories there with my family! Will definitely visit Uncle Johnny’s Lakefront Fishing Cabin in the near future!!

Great days on the lake
This is a cozy lake house with a great view. Home in on the older side but the price is fair and the view from the deck and dock is hard to beat!

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Molea

Host profile image
We purchased the home in 1999 as strictly a business investment. Little did we realize how in love with the entire area we'd be. John loved to fish & sure could get his limit! Our family lives in the bay area but travel north to the home monthly. It's our favorite place to go!

Why they chose this property

The history of the Lake Almanor Basin is fascinating (we keep a book on the shelf to share with our guests). We found out the home was built in 1953 by Finnis Mack Saunders, nicknamed "Chief", a foreman for the Red River Lumber Company. The knotty pine walls & ceiling in the kitchen are priceless! We've respectfully done some remodeling while keeping the old world charm of the home. The well water is very good, plus extra filtration on the refrigerator door for cold drinking water. No need to bring bottled water. There's no curbside recycling so plastic water bottles just fill up the land waste!

What makes this property unique

Uncle Johnnie's Fishing Cabin is situated on the middle of the east shore & is truly a nice spot on the lake. We enjoy sharing the home as much as our guests enjoy vacationing there!
