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. ##### Tamara K.

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. ##### Ron D.

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. ##### Mary Jo H.

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. ##### jshiradawson Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sherrie D., San Carlos, CA Sep 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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.

Apr 2, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing Getaway WITH Kids My family and I spent the middle of the week at the VRBO in Hamilton Branch. After the past year of COVID lock down we were ready to get out of our house. After a long drive, we arrived an hour earlier than expected and found the VRBO freshly cleaned, ready for us to relax. The initial attraction was to go inside to explore and let the kids stake out their rooms, but our attention quickly turned to the back porch overlooking the fast-flowing creek. It was at this time we realized we arrived at a perfect vacation spot for us. Over the course of the next five days, the patio was one of the high points to the property to simply sit and relax to the gentle sound of the creek. Yes, it was cold, low 30’s to high 40’s, but after all, it was the month of March in the Sierra Mountains. It was what we wanted and expected. The house was comfortably furnished and provided plenty of distraction for the kids to play ping-pong, learn how to play pool and poker, plus there are plenty of board games, too. If I had to select one negative thing about the house, I would say the two leather sofas were not comfortable, but I did manage to take a nap on one. The bedrooms provide ample space for the kids to spread out and all rooms, except one room downstairs, provided views of the creek. Our bed was very comfortable, and the sheets and blankets provided the needed warmth without the bulk. I appreciated both the comfortable mattress (I do not say this lightly as I have a bad back) and the no bulk blankets. We enjoyed the gas fireplace and used it often, especially after sitting on the back porch. We purposely did not use the wood fireplace, but it was prepped, clean and ready for use. As the cook of our household, I appreciated the diversity of pots, pans, dishes, and utensils provided. We cooked all our meals and were able to accomplish his with all the kitchen appliances provided (perhaps a larger cheese grater would have helped for our cheese hungry kids), but I found the kitchen to be more than sufficient. I am not a fan of electric stoves, but it worked well without issue. Overall, we really enjoyed the house and its amenities, and we would return for anther trip to the Lake Almanor area. ##### Teresa N. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie H.

It's comfortable, homey and had a lot of space for our family to spread out. The ping pong table and pool table were a big hit for the crew. Debbie was a great host and wonderful to work with. We highly recommend this home and hope to come back! ##### Jamie H. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David N.

Fun house w lots of entertainment features like a pool table, ping pong table (not sure where to play it), board games, karaoke, electric piano. Cons: Very strict house rules. Multiple copies posted around the house. Owner asks for renters to take garbage out when checking out, as well as clean dishes (what does the $200 cleaning fee include?) The thermostat is password protected, and is not provided to the renter, so no way to adjust it. ##### David N. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jack A.

The property was wonderful and definitely lived up to expectations. Debbie was very responsive when we had questions and we were sad to leave. ##### Jack A.

Large and roomy, able to accommodate a large party. It is close to the lake. The river below is beautiful and relaxing. Loved the deck. The owners are very nice and attentive. ##### Carmen F.

Jul 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wedding Weekend We were very impressed with this house, the decor is very tasteful with a flair of ‘fun.’ The house was stocked with beautiful dishes, wine glasses, wonderful selection of spices, pots and pans and even sharp knives and utensils. The beds were WONDERFUL and linens smelled heavenly. All the bathrooms were spotless and had thoughtful items on the counter such as Qtips. The deck had a spectacular view of the river with plenty of patio furniture and a swing!! Family hiked down to the river and back and said it was gorgeous. We didn’t have a chance to play billiard or ping pong but we were tickled it was available. Our family ages ranged from 1 year old to 88 years old and could not have been more pleased. Family dinners and gatherings were super comfortable and enjoyable. And another positive plus was no stairs entering the house. The host and house cleaner were both a delight to work with. We look forward to our next stay. My family is already asking me to set a date. :) ##### Jennifer R. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jillian L.

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! ##### Jillian L.

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! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Loews Hollywood Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Loews-Hollywood-Hotel.h790158.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Anaheim-Resort.h42520139.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel West Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-1-Hotel-West-Hollywood.h35872776.Hotel-Information) > > [Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel & Water Playground](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Howard-Johnson-By-Wyndham-Anaheim-Hotel-Water-Playground.h19662.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Fishermans-Wharf.h24625.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Los Angeles International](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Los-Angeles-International-Airport.h28110.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Marriott-Marquis-San-Diego-Marina.h24394.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Sheraton-Gateway-Los-Angeles-Hotel.h12287.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-The-Westin-Anaheim-Resort.h47019139.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Stovall's Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Stovalls-Inn.h13592.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-InterContinental-Los-Angeles-Downtown.h11567151.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House at Anaheim Resort/Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Hyatt-House-At-Anaheim-ResortConvention-Center.h14786168.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield by Marriott Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Fairfield-By-Marriott-Anaheim-Resort.h13771.Hotel-Information) > > [Desert Palms Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Desert-Palms-Hotel-Suites.h1571.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Escondido-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-The-Welk.h59916.Hotel-Information) > > [Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Grand-Californian-Hotel-And-Spa.h692655.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Anaheim Theme Park Entrance](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Anaheim-Theme-Park-Entrance.h11476917.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hollywood Roosevelt](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Hollywood-Roosevelt.h34142.Hotel-Information) > > [Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Manchester-Grand-Hyatt-San-Diego.h12073.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambria Hotel & Suites Anaheim Resort Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Cambria-Hotel-Anaheim-Resort-Area.h34780325.Hotel-Information) > > [Anaheim Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Anaheim-Marriott-Hotel.h12035.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A.
