*IMPORTANT: Check Lake Level on website for info and photos or Contact us for latest status. Although most of our guests still have a great time at any water level, we want to make sure you understand the dynamics of this reservoir. The lake may or may not fill up any given year but we will keep guests posted as we always do and offer a full refund up to 60 days before arrival. Although rare, if the lake drops below 140' down, this starts to impact the availability of local boat ramp and marina requiring travel to another part of the lake. Again, see our web site for latest info and photos of lake at different levels. Forest Fires are also common in Northern California which may blow smoke in the area during the Summer/fall. Sensitive parties should avoid visiting Northern California during this period of time. Check our website for current conditions and warnings.

We loved our stay! The views were stunning and the water was fun! The property managers were very attentive and we had everything we needed to make it a great time for our whole family!
We rented retreat 1 and 2. They are absolutely as represented on line. They were both well stocked, clean, paddle boards, kayaks, hot tub, grill, all worked well. We had one issue and owner was very responsive and fixed problem in a very timely manner. We would definitely stay here again.
Great location and property owners were extremely easy to work with and were very responsive to all of our inquiries. Great homes for guests of all ages! When lake levels rise, we will return to stay at this property again for sure!!
Great hosts, beautiful home and aside from the very low water level of the lake, each day we were treated to spectacular views from the balcony, visits from deer and the neighborhood dog. No sirens for 5 nights, instead amazing peace w natures music. We’d definitely consider returning…
Definitely recommend staying at this resort.
The owners were very accommodating and prompt in communication. The location is very nice for playing on the lake.
Celebrated our mom's 75th birthday in retreat 1 & 2, had a great time, nice and peaceful, weather was great, was awesome catching up with family on the decks with the beautiful view. Will be staying again!
We had such a great time. My family felt at home. We rented retreat 1 and 2 to accommodate 24 people. We had enough sleeping areas to accommodate everyone. We only wish the water was up higher as shown in the photos. But we understand that had nothing to do with the owners. Due to the drought you do have to make a little walk down but the pathway made it easy to get up and down. They also supplied pretty much everything you would need if you were in your own home. We will definitely use this home again in the future. Thanks Lori and Dave!
We rented two houses and both are as described, on the lake front (though the water level was low), it was great experience. Communication from Lori and David was prompt. Both houses came with long detailed list of instructions, so never had to reach out to Lori for any questions during our stay. Though it was little cold we enjoyed the deck since both houses had heaters, so it was nice and warm, so does the hot tub as well. Separate houses for our bigger group worked for us perfectly. Would recommend this property for larger group.
An amazing property close to the lake as described. We had a bit of a hiccup with check-in but the owners resolved it very quickly. The property worked well for our large group and many small children! We wish there was an option to reserve our same week for consecutive years but we are working with the owners to find dates that work.
