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.

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.

Great house and location!

We enjoyed a fantastic 4 nights at this house - boated daily and hung out at the house nightly. Debbie and her husband have everything you need for your stay - the ping pong table was a hit and we enjoyed hanging out on the deck listening to the river. They were excellent hosts and we would return again!

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.

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!!

Amazing property and best hosts ever !

The property is very well equipped and well stocked. The adults spent most of the time on the amazing patio and kids had a blast at the pool and ping-pong/TT table. Debbie and David are the nicest and kindest people that we have ever met. They went out of their way to help us whenever we needed. We had a great time. We are going back for sure.

Wonderful! Quiet Cabin in the woods by a river

We had a quiet stay in the cabin by the river. The river canceled out any other noises (which were minimal) and we found the place very calming and quiet. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, and the living room is large with a great view. The host was very accommodating and made the whole process exceedingly easy on us. The cabin is not overly staged and feels very home-y. Highly recommend for a quiet spot. My only suggestion is that if you bring small children, you will need to keep an eye on them as there is a steep hill leading to the water.

This property was right on the river. It was a short 5 minute walk to the river opening. The boys caught about 20 fish. The accommodations were amazing. The kids were entertained with ping pong, pool, and chess. I was entertained with the view and the standing keyboard. Such an amazing property!

Incredible experience

This is a beautiful property with a wonderful view of the river. The house was fantastic for our family, and we enjoyed the deck, playing games, and relaxing. We brought our boat, and it was a short drive to launch the boat. My elderly parents loved the accommodations as well, and it was great that there was a step-in shower on the main floor. Debbie is a great host- was pleasant to work with and is a great communicator. We would absolutely stay at this property again! Lake Almanor did not disappoint, and we are hopeful to return in the future!

Beautiful and relaxing setting

The house was very clean and well organized. We were in Lake Almanor for my niece's wedding that was less than 3 miles away. We had 8 people actually staying in the house that included a 10-month-old to my 87-year-old mother. We had plenty of room to spread out. My favorite was the porch swing on the deck that overlooked the river. The house was also large enough to have a BBQ and S'mores and game night with extended family. The sounds of the river were very relaxing.

lovely spot

This was a great house for our needs, as we came to visit friends who live in the neighborhood. We enjoyed the deck and the river views, plus the river sounds coming in the windows. There was also the occasional chugging train across the highway. The guys had fun playing pool. Kitchen was more than adequate with every appliance and tool needed for food preparation. The beds were excellent and ours (a king) was just right firm! Had a lovely time visiting with Debbie and David, too. All in all, it was a wonderful vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Moss

Host profile image
I grew up in the Philippines , lived in Tokyo fora few years and moved to Reno, NV in the '90s. My husband David & I love Lake Almanor for what it has to offer for the outdoor enthusiasts like ourselves. We love being outdoors as well as entertaining. We love boating, hiking, mountain biking, road biking, waterskiing/ wake boarding in the summer as well as downhill skiing & snow shoeing in the winter.

Why they chose this property

Lake Almanor has always held a special place in our hearts, offering a plethora of outdoor activities for every taste. Whether you're into boating, fishing, kayaking, biking, motorcycle riding, or hiking, there's something here for you. Plus, with Lassen Volcanic National Park just a short drive away, the adventures are endless.

Nestled perfectly on the Hamilton Branch inlet to Lake Almanor, this home boasts an ideal location. The allure of the branch captivated me from the moment I laid eyes on this property. The mesmerizing view and soothing sound of the creek sold me on the spot; I barely needed to explore the rest of the house.

Situated at the North end of the East Shore, near the Country Club golf course and Bailey Creek golf course on the peninsula, this home offers tranquility and convenience. Listen to the gentle cascade of the creek from the deck, with the occasional passing train adding to the charm.

Step inside to find a recently remodeled interior, complete with warm flooring that enhances the ambiance. From the living room, step out onto the spacious deck and savor your morning coffee surrounded by towering pine trees. This place truly feels like your home away from home.

What makes this property unique

The enchanting sight and soothing sound of the river stand out as one of the top features of this home. Nestled in a serene setting, the tranquility and peacefulness of this property are truly remarkable. Just a few steps from the house, guests have the opportunity to catch dinner, with some sharing exhilarating tales of casting and catching fish in record time. This exclusive trail is accessible only to our guests.

Out on the deck, a fire pit table provides a cozy spot for guests to enjoy the outdoors and unwind. Additionally, a comfortable swing, which easily converts into a daybed, allows guests to soak in the sights and sounds of the creek, accompanied by the occasional passing train.

The kitchen comes fully stocked with modern amenities, including a 4-burner electric stove, convection oven, microwave, garbage disposal, dishwasher, wet bar, and a variety of small appliances such as a waffle maker, coffee pot, toaster, variety of spices for your cooking needs and built-in blender/food processor. Guests will find an array of cookware, dishes, baking tools, wine glasses, and more for their culinary needs.

For those who prefer a good night's sleep, three of the bedrooms feature room-darkening curtains, ensuring a restful slumber.

In the game room, a fireplace insert keeps the whole house warm and cozy, with detailed operating instructions conveniently posted by the mantle. Wood and kindling are readily available just outside the front door, along with a metal receptacle for hot coals. Guests can adjust the propane heat using the Google thermostat to their desired temperature.

To ensure our guests' safety and comfort, we've recently installed a new ON DEMAND backup generator for added peace of mind during their stay.
