Nice, comfortable B&B inn. We spent three nights at Bidwell House. My wife enjoyed our breakfasts more than I did. Our host, Eva, was informative and helpful with suggestions about what to do in the area (Lake Almenor & Mt. Lassen). Mt. Lassen was a great NP to visit - and we went to three different parts of the park on each of our three days based in Chester.

The house and grounds are beautiful--a historic inn, family run. We enjoyed passing the afternoon sitting under the old apple tree. We only wish so many people hadn't stayed away from because of the fire in the area. The town and the inn deserved more guests.
