This was the best-equipped vacation home we have ever stayed in. Our group of 4 couples found everything we needed for a fun week. The kitchen has more dishes and appliances than you could ever need, and the lawn game box kept us entertained with croquet, bocce, badminton, and some other ball-throwing game that we never quite mastered. The paddle boat drew interest, but we got lazy and rented jet skis - perfect on the quiet late-August lake. The large deck was a perfect place to set up our crafts, eat lunch, have drinks, barbecue, and enjoy the beautiful lawn and lake view. Ospreys provided the background music all day. Our only complaint was poor lighting for reading - a few more lamps would make it perfect for those of us who relax with a good book.
The area offers few good restaurants, so we were happiest when we stayed in and cooked our own meals to enjoy with the view. Lassen is reasonably close for a day outing, and we really enjoyed spending a couple of hours in the hot-springs-fed pool at Drakesbad Guest Ranch. The roads in the club area itself are suitable for walking and bike riding, with respectful drivers and nice scenery. Overall, this is a house to settle into and enjoy the location and the company you are with.
