10/10 Excellent
"My mom and I really enjoyed our weekend here at the village. It was so scenic and picturesque and we really enjoyed our breakfast and dinner at the restaurant. It was a perfect distance to Lassen national Park and I can definitely see us coming back. The late check-in instructions were incredibly simple to follow, I would recommend any future guest screenshot their check instructions as there is no Wi-Fi within the rooms."

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here for three nights while visiting Lassen Volcanic National Park. The house was exactly what we needed to be able to cook dinners and spread out after long days visiting the park. The master bedroom and bathroom were very nice. We appreciated the double sink in the bathroom and large closet. The kitchen was fairly well stocked. The only recommendation would be to have at least one cutting board and more detailed instructions on how to use the stove. We were concerned that if it would turn off on its own after we finished with it. Having a garage was nice because our car stayed cool and we were able to easily pack and unpack right by the kitchen. The garage also had a plastic axe throwing board which we all enjoyed. We played basketball with the hoop in the driveway. We used the fire pit on our last night there which was a nice way to end our trip. The home looks to have been updated in the past few years and everything was nicely laid out. The showers had body wash and shampoo and the laundry had pods and dryer sheets. The drive was a little long but short of staying in the park, there didn't seem to be anything much closer. We didn't mind the drive as it was pretty and we got to see some wild animals. This is a great house for a family or group of friends traveling together. I would recommend checking this place out if you are headed to Lassen."
