Located in historic Chester, this beautiful home sports a lawn play area with a rustic creek running through the side yard and views of the mountains.

There are three bedrooms suitable for three couples and one single bedroom good for kids and adults that want a little independence. The living room has a sofa bed that sleeps two, a wood stove, a table for playing board games and a large sectional couch. The updated kitchen is fully equipped with cooking utensils and the dining table can accommodate up to ten guest.

The downstairs cowboy master bedroom has a king size bed and a on-suite bathroom with a shower. Next to the kitchen is the downstairs second bathroom with a shower and an oversized bathtub. Upstairs has a second master bedroom, two smaller ones and a ½ bathroom. When the house is full, eight guests can sleep in the four bedrooms and two guests can sleep in the pull-out couch in the living room. The nocturnal ones can hang out in the kitchen dining area away from all the sleeping guest.

The space is equipped with an outdoor barbecue, linens, laundry facilities, DVDs, Internet, TV with Netflix and You Tube, books, board games, children’s items, picnic supplies, a wood stove, and lots of other goodies to make many memories.

Start your stay by walking five minutes into town and join the locals for a cup of coffee and a breakfast bagel (Coffee Station), then take a stroll around the Historic Red Barn (Olson Barn circa 1914) at the end of town and walk in the meadow at the edge of Lake Almanor. Take your boat south 20 minutes to the public boat launch and go fishing for the day. Take a visit to one of our National Parks (Lassen Volcanic Park). Upon your return, you can relax by the creek while BBQing your dinner. Kids love to play around the creek and partake in outdoor games while the adults have an evening drink in the covered porch. Later you can have dinner at the outdoor picnic table; afterwords, take an evening walk up Lassen Street and admire the old historic homes of yesteryear while hearing the faint sounds of nearby grazing cattle.

Not in the mood to cook Take a two-minute walk for the best pizza and salad in Northern California (The Pizza Factory). A five-minute drive away is fine dining at the Steak House (Timber House) and other dining choices from Mexican to Chinese food. In a golfing mood, there are two golf courses within a 20-minute drive from the house. If you like to bike, there are several bike trails and logging roads around Chester to explore.

    We had a wonderful stay at the property. The games/puzzles were appreciated. Even though property is very close to the main road and across the street from a trailer park, it was very quiet in the evenings. The sound of the little stream in the back yard could be heard in the evenings. Rooms were adequate, could use some coat hooks or a luggage rack upstairs. Kitchen had pretty much everything you needed.

    We were very comfortable, and really enjoyed our stay. The house was well appointed, and the availability of items needed for everyday use, other than what we brought, was impressive. We will definitely be back.

    Just like staying with your grandparents house in the woods. Rustic, warm and completely furnished with everything a family would need for a holiday. We just brought the food and drinks. We had a nice place to walk and a 5 minute walk to town. We drove around the lake and had lunch in Westwood. Took a drive to the Mt Lassen visitor center and visited mud pots. Returning to Chester we stopped for dinner at a bar & grill for a delicious meal.. We left a White House puzzle for the next group to enjoy. Thanks again for the holiday rescue.

    Wonderful, spacious home near downtown Chester. Clean, well-maintained and fully appointed, easily sleeps 6-8 adults. The biggest drawback is that the entire region surrounding Chester has been devasted by the Dixie Fire from 2021, so surrounding forests are destroyed with little flora or fauna remaining. Still, great trout fishing for us! Home needs to have full cable TV subscription, but internet worked very well. Next door neighbor was in the middle of remodeling his home so some daytime noise disrupted the otherwise quiet. Lovely spring-fed stream in the backyard! Great for family gatherings, or groups of friends. Unfortunately, the daily rate dropped dramatically (seasonal) the week after we rented. Still, would recommend it unhesitatingly.

    The house was very spacious and had lots of amenities. The yard was perfect for our dog. We enjoyed our stay very much. The only negatives we encountered were the mosquitoes, bring lots of mosquito repellent and candles or thermacells. They are massive and numerous beyond count. The heat wave didn’t help, I’m sure the lack of ac at any other time of year wouldn’t be a big deal but it was 100 the days we stayed so we felt it. Also, a WiFi extender would be helpful staying in the back bedroom, wouldn’t be a bad idea to have one in my travel bag for such cases. All in all we loved the house and would highly recommend.

    Close to Warner Valley for hiking. Terrific kitchen set up with all the needed accessories. Cute little brook in the back garden.
