Almanor Lake House, Beach, Dock and Mooring Ball.
This absolutely dreamy lakefront/view property on picturesque Big Springs Road sleeps up to 15 guests. Take in the lake and cove views from the deck and beach, or take a sunset cruise on beautiful Lake Almanor. This home is recently remodeled and redesigned. It is bursting with room for everyone. It includes a wet bar, a large deck with BBQ grill, dock, mooring ball, and lots of outdoor space. Three paddle boards, kayaks and other water toys are also included. This property has everything you need to enjoy Lake Almanor in luxury, comfort and style. This is one of two homes that sit on this property; an upper home and a lower home. The upper home is the one listed on VRBO. The upper home sits at the top portion of this lakefront lot, and the other at the lower part of the lot. You are at lakes edge and on the beach in seconds after a short walk down the driveway and pavered steps. Beautiful Lake Almanor water levels can fluctuate each year based on the snow pack at higher elevations. Our dock is typically kept accessible by boat from early May to Mid-October.

Great time on Lake Almanor. The house was great for access to the water and being able to keep the boat in the water. The bunk room downstairs was awesome for the teenagers.
We had such a great time at Lake Almanor! The house was perfect for our family and John was so responsive and checked in with us to make sure everything was great! We will definitely be going back!
Our large family had a great time! Nice to have such great access to the beach and be abie to keep the boat right there. Kitchen on the small side. Beds were quite comfortable and the owner was very responsive when we had an issue with the tv. Would rent again!
Perfect get away for family’s or friends. It was far and beyond our expectations. Dined in all 3 nights and ate on the deck. Kayaked … water was great. Thank you John!
Pictures do not do this home justice!!! Plus John is the best host we’ve ever had - responsive, helpful, and over the top kind. House was clean and perfect for our three families!The kids loved the downstairs sleeping area! We will be back again!
Great location for anglers and families. Super easy access to lake and a great outdoor gas fire pit on the deck to share fishing stories.
John and his wife were awesome host.
We had a wonderful stay! Really cozy and inviting. This house is great for multiple families to share as each level has it's own bedroom and bathroom. Great location in a beautiful cove. The owners have a house on the same lot, so they are close by to help if anything comes up.
The house was well stocked, well decorated, and comfortably accommodated our large group. The property was very close to the beach and we had use of a private sandy beach during our stay. We had a wonderful time and would consider renting this property again.

We rented this property for a wedding celebration and had great grandparents, grandparents, parents and kids. The location at the lake was fantastic and it was also close to Bailey Creek golf course. Our only frustration was that the staircase to the basement was very difficult for older people and small children.
Beachfront Property with comfortable accommodations.
Perfect location. Beachfront property, close to gas, store, golf course and restaurants The basement game room was perfect for the kids. Full bathrooms on all three floors was very nice for family. No issues with the home at all, just had to relax and have fun.
We had the best family trip here. The house was great and location right on the lake. They had a private beach and a lot of water toys for all ages. We were able to rent a pontoon boat a couple of miles away for one day. Great outdoor deck with a grill, fire pit and table. We highly recommend it - we had our whole family of 12 there!
We had a wonderful family reunion at this cabin. There was some noise and dust from construction on the first day only, but the owner resolved them immediately and the rest of the week was perfect. The lake access was good. We especially enjoyed the two kayaks and two paddle boards that were included!
Can't say enough good things about this home. Loved how the house was decorated and very clean. Already booked again for next July when the water hopefully will be higher. Owner always on call as needed.
Large clean accommodating home for a big family. Comfortable beds and 3 full bathrooms; one on each level. The trek to the cove was a little steep. Great communication with the owner. Our family had a wonderful time making memories at Almanor during our stay!
We love the slower pace and natural beauty of Lake Almanor and our stay in this neighborly cove did not disappoint. The owners were welcoming, responsive, and generous which made us feel more than comfortable sharing a lot, dock and lake access with them. Plenty of space for 2 families of 5 with room to spare. We enjoyed great meals from the local restaurants as well. We will be back!
We got lucky and were able to book this amazing home for the 4th of July weekend. It was a great location on the lake. The house was only a 10 minute drive to the quaint town of Chester. The pictures of the home do not do it justice. It is so cute and the kids loved the downstairs "bunk house". The views from the back porch were very pretty and being able to use the dock and play in the water was so much fun for us and the kids. We highly recommend this home.
The Lake House was perfect for oir big family. The location was perfect. Just a quick walk onto a sandy beach with water toys and a great dock. John was so accomodating and answered my questions with a quick reply. A welcome baskey was waiting for us with wine and lots of goodies which was so very nice. It was our first time at Lake Almanor and we fell in love with it. Will definitely be returning. Thank you John and Susan for a great time..Carolyn & Steve
A few minor things but told the owner about it….wasn’t aware of the construction going on next door! Dusty and noisy a couple days! Go on vacation for peace and quiet but bobcat etc started working at 6:30 am! We really enjoyed being with our family from Texas to Napa to Redding to Salem….. needed 2 places … we would have liked being together but….26 is a big party!
We had a wonderful rainy Labor Day weekend. We had 13 people. 10 adults two teenager and and 1 11 year old. Kids loved the vintage video game! It was raining and super chilly but we enjoyed the easy lake access! We hope to come back next summer. We cooked a ton. Kitchen was small but had most things we needed. If you are a serious cook bring some basics! House was tight because we were all inside but when the rain stopped and we were able to get outside it was perfect!
