Wonderful House

We arrived at the house and found it very nicely decorated, clean and ready for us to enjoy our weekend stay. Very nice open kitchen/living room design was very conducive to visiting. If you stay here you won't be disappointed.

Nice accommodation!

House set up was great, check in was easy, parking was ample for multiple vehicles. Easy run into town. Kitchen and great room area were great for gathering. Beds and baths were ample. Futon on laundry room was useful, if a little tight. House is in a neighborhood and does not have a lake view nor access, though is close enough to Chester for activities.

Family reunion weekend

We had a rough start, accident with our 6 year old as we were checking in. We were 20 minutes early, property was no where near being ready, we assisted as best we could, helping with outdoor landscape, until our medical emergency. I have stayed at this property before so I knew the house. I am sure this is a one time incident with house not being ready for check in, but surprised at lack of acknowledgement of the situation by owner..

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Aug 2023
Renters had requested an early check-in unfortunately we were unable to accommodate that request due to a landscape project being finished up that day. They arrived early anyway and proceeded to unload two cars full of kids bikes scooters and family and wanting to put refrigerator items away which I accommodated while trying to take care of their needs one of the children fell off their scooter down the road with no shoes, shirt or helmet he was now on the kitchen counter getting 1st aid as I’m giving them directions to the towns hospital. This was definitely a rough start. If they had arrived at normal check-in time 4:00pm , instead of 2:15, landscape project and finishing touches on the house would’ve been finished up and ready for their arrival.

Fun even though it’s smoky. We really enjoyed our stay and DeDe was awesome to work with. Unfortunately, there were nearby wild fires and the smoke was a problem at times. Still a beautiful property and we would come back

Beautiful fully equipped home

A bit expensive, but well worth it. The deck was our favorite hangout. Kitchen is fully supplied to prepare a multi course dinner. Beds are comfortable with crisp linens. This is a beautiful home with all the comforts you'll need.

Very nice home

This house was very clean with nice appointments inside. It is close to three golf courses and some very good restaurants. Wonderful home for a family vacation. We especially like the outdoor deck for relaxing and bar-b-queing.

Outstanding - Beautiful Home!

We stayed at the house for three nights. Upon entering the home, we were very impressed with the layout, décor, and cleanliness. This was our first VRBO stay and we loved it. The back deck is nice and the charcoal BBQ worked great for our group. It was a hot weekend up at Lake Almanor but you wouldn't know it in the house. We opened it up in the late evening and closed it up in the morning. When we returned after boating all day, the house was still cool and comfortable. Dee Dee was an absolute pleasure to work with and we are very thankful that she is willing to share her home with others.

Wonderful week

This place was more than I was expecting. I've rented VRBO's the past 5 years in Lake Almanor and this was by far the nicest. It accommodated our party of 8 nicely. Each family had their own side of the house separated by the kitchen and great room for privacy. The deck was nice to unwind at the end of the day with a glass of wine. Overall it's 5 star in my book and look forward to renting this place in the future.

Great spot for our Holiday weekend with friends!

We were very happy with our experience. It provides the perfect spot to relax and enjoy Lake Almanor with our friends. We loved the easy driveway for our boat and parking as well. The host is super responsive and was a delight to work with. The home was clean & nicely furnished. It has an amazing amount of movies for viewing. We enjoyed our stay and love Lake Almanor!

Priceless

We absolutely loved this house. We have been renting houses at Almanor for 13 years and by far this is one of the best! The kitchen was the best out of all the houses. It literally had everything you need and more. We usually have to bring extra cooking pots, utensils and ect. Not with this house. Very clean, great deck and a great variety of movies!! Plenty of room to accommodate everyone. Thank you for sharing your house and all the priceless memories. The Schmids

Home was better than expected. Really nice! Clean, comfortable and up to date.

We really liked the home. It was nicer than the photos show. Kitchen is very nice and well equipped. Baths are also very nicely done. Deck is great. We sat out there a lot. The 3rd bed is in the laundry room which was not a problem for us but it was small and unusual. I would definitely stay here again.

Julie and family were great guests. The laundry room would actually be a 4th room, we use it for an extra sleeping area but don’t concider it to be a bed room, it does Have it’s own half bath which is convenient.

The House was great!

We came for labor day weekend with the kids and the grandparents. The house was so pleasant and comfortable. We had to drive 20 minutes to the public beach which was great (just next to the dam). Lassen Park was a bit further away from what I was hoping but overall we were very pleased and might come back if we are in the area again.

BEWARE

BEWARE. Do not be fooled by this owner's property description or sweet photo of her family. The home was not as advertised. I emailed the property owner ahead of time, notifying we were bringing our close friend with terminal cancer. The home does not have AC and it was miserably hot. When asked about it she told us to open the windows at night. No, it did not cool down enough at night, even though we brought our own fans. If I had told her my very ill friend was coming, wouldn't common decency dictate to disclose lack of basic environmental controls? When I was searching for a property, I specifically searched for properties that allowed pets. It wasn't until I got there until I saw the rule on the fridge, "no pets". Sunday during the day, the owner came to the home when there were no cars in the driveway (I stayed home to take a nap, the rest of the family went fishing) and ATTEMPTED TO ENTER THE HOME WHILE I WAS HOME ALONE. Our interaction made me extremely uncomfortable and gave me nightmares. If there was a concern about the noise or other issues, we could have been told directly instead of passive aggressive and invasive tactics. We're all professional adults and never had more than 10 people in the house. Immediately after our conversation, she changed the profile to "no pets". Prior to that, the profile of the home did not disclose this. I have rented 6 properties all over the country and this is hands down the worst experience I've ever had. Her behavior was so shifty we made sure to take photos of the property before we left. We followed all of her rules and still an additional aggregious amount was taken out of my deposit for "spills" on the floor and because I brought my little dog without knowing that it was against the rules (this is in addition to the cleaning deposit). In addition: The TV's are from the 90's and have poor sound. None of the remotes that are there match the TV's. She advertises a "pool table" but it's actually a multigame table about a quarter of the size of a regular pool table. There were not any paper towels, saran wrap, or aluminum foil. There was not enough toilet paper for our group... we had to go buy our own. Any questions I had I asked her and was greeted with condescending answers. When I asked for explanation, I was greeted with silence. This is the most corrupt, unscrupulous experience I've had for a long time. I love Lake Almanor, but not sure I'd live there if these are the neighbors.
