Beautiful house and location

I stayed here with several co-workers and the house was perfect! Lots of space and very clean. Getting into the house was easy and the host was responsive. The location is beautiful next to a river while also being close to the lake and town.

Loved it

Huge clean house, everything you could need for a stay. Lots of games and fun entertainment. Location is awesome. The river is amazing with a fun hike down to it. The hosts are spectacular. We got stuck off roading and needed an emergency pick up- they did not need to do this for us but they did - we are so grateful. Can’t wait to come back.

Amazing home and view!!!!

Our family stayed at the house for four nights. The house is beautiful but the back deck and the view of the river is amazing. We spent most of our time sitting on the deck and fishing in the river. The guys loved the pool table. Debbie and Dave are great hosts, we would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting a beautiful home with amazing views and a short drive to Lake Almanor.

Awesome House - with Great Deck Scene!

Fantastic property. Large home that can accommodate many guests with a fantastic deck above the river - great for hanging out and catching up. Debbie and Dave are great hosts, very responsive. Everything was clean and the kitchen was well stocked in terms of dishes, cooking utensils, etc. I/we will definitely stay there again and I highly recommend this property.

Almanor Bliss

First I'd like to say Debbie and Dave are excellent hosts and communicate regularly. The house is spacious, clean and the location is excellent. We could not have asked for a better week up at Almanor. The weather was perfect and I was reminded why I have such fond memories coming up every summer as a kid with my family and friends. Thanks again Debbie and Dave!!

Family time

Our stay was amazing. Our hosts were perfect. All the information was so clear. The house was SUPER clean. They thought of everything from karaoke to pool or ping pong. Plenty of board games too. The beds are excellent and so comfortable. The deck had plenty of seating and dining for our family. They haven’t missed a thing. All you need in the kitchen is there. The hosts also were accommodating of our dogs. We will be back! We loved our stay. Miss it already. Cannot thank them enough. Liz Powers

Better than advertised

Many homes don't quite meet expectations as advertised on VRBO. This home was not one of them. Upon arrival and throughout our stay, the Home was so much better than our expectations. The deck over the river is so serene and there is plenty of space to lounge including a nice fire pit to sit around. Despite neighbors on both sides of the house, the house is very private. Inside the house was roomy and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities including the pool table, corn hole, chess board and big screen TV to watch football and BBQ. The kitchen and large bedrooms were great too. We highly recommend the house. Thank you Debbie for the multiple emails inquiring to confirm everything was as it should be.

Amazing Getaway

This home has everything you would want or need in a home for a vacation rental. The home is in great shape and you can tell the owners take pride in their home from how clean everything is and all the amenities they provide. My husband and I and our 3 grown sons took full advantage of the pool table/ping pong, karaoke, played poker and sat on the deck looking at the gorgeous view and listening to the river. The hosts are amazing and we were lucky enough to get to meet them and chat a bit. They are by far the best hosts we have ever had. Debbie even reached out during our stay (this has never happened before) to see if everything was ok and if there was anything we needed. It was such a wonderful 60th bday celebration for my husband and our family. We had lots of laughs and made many awesome memories. We did lots of fly fishing, played disc golf and enjoyed the outdoors which is why we picked Lake Almanor. You will definitely not regret staying at this lovely home. Can't wait to go back some day. Thanks Debbie & David!

We couldn’t of asked for a better experience!

This home was PERFECT for a family vacation with 7 adults. The house is beautifully maintained, has spacious rooms and a truly beautiful deck and view, and is well-stocked with virtually every creature comfort one could want on vacation. My family had fun creating a dinner experience every night and we found all we needed in the well-stocked kitchen. Dinner out on the deck was sensational, with the "music" of the rushing river below to serenade us. The house was spacious and made it easy to tuck away for individual quiet moments now and then. We really enjoyed the home's amenities, like kayaking and ping pong. Debbie and Dave were particularly gracious hosts, accommodating some special needs we requested. They were also fabulous communicators, enthusiastically sharing information on the area's best spots. Check in and check out were as easy as it gets. No fuss, no hassle. My family and I have been so looking forward to this vacation together. (We live hundreds of miles from one another, so time together is fleeting.) This home was the perfect place for us. Thanks again, Debbie and Dave. It was awesome.
