About this property

Little Cabin in the Woods

Step back into time when life was slower at this quaint cabin located in the shadow of Mount Lassen. Enjoy the short 1/4 mile walk to view Lake Almanor, one of Northern California's true gems. On your return from the lake stop by Carol's Cafe for a slice of true Americana fare. Pick up one of Carol's famous pies to enjoy while relaxing on the front porch as you rock your cares away. In the evening sip a cold beverage on the large back porch while enjoying Lassen National Forest and the wildlife that abounds there.

Just about perfect

The only thing that could have made this gem more perfect, is if it were lake front BUT the lake is literally a 5min walk away..The Cabin is much newer construction, perfectly appointed and decorations/materials/appliances all of higher quality…GREAT Experience

Great cabin!

Our family really enjoyed our stay. This cabin was the perfect size for our group of 3 adults and 2 kids. It has national forest land behind it, and we loved hanging out on the back porch and in the back yard. It has a great location near a swim beach (low water level but that's true across CA) and in a quiet neighborhood. Also, the cabin was super clean, the owner left lots of helpful info and basic necessities were provided. Thanks for sharing this lovey home!

This was a great property. A good place to stay with easy access all around Lake Almanor. The home stays cool even when the temps reach the high 80's. The property manager was quick to respond to any questions and the condition of the home was excellent!

Excellent family getaway!

Excellent location for both lake and Lassen Volcanic National Park activities. The home was very cozy with everything that a person could ask for. My family was very relaxed after a long day of hiking at Lassen. The cabin is a short few minutes drive from any needs in town that you may require, or a short walk to the cafe, I recommend a slice of pie. The cabin was large enough for most needs yet cozy enough to feel right at home. I would definitely recommend this lovely home to any traveler who wants a clean, cozy and comfortable home.

Why they chose this property

This property is near and dear to our hearts. Lake Almanor has been a mainstay in my family for 40+ years. When my husband and I had the chance to purchase a lot in the historic development of Prattville we were ecstatic. In 2003 we purchased the lot and a year later my husband built us our "little cabin in the woods". We have made many memories with family and friends over the years here and are looking to make many more in years to come. Our wish is for others to have the same opportunity by staying here. Enjoy!

What makes this property unique

Large off street parking. Our cabin backs up to forest thus offering a great view of nature and provides some privacy.
