"Everything about this property was fantastic. Our group took advantage of everything that was offered from biking around the neighborhood to the boat launch access to nightly hot tub sessions. I would highly recommend this property. Host was very responsive and made sure we were taken care of. We also played a few rounds on the beautiful golf course that weaves through the neighborhood. Oh, and also had a fun time smoking tri tip for the first time on the blackstone. Couldn’t have been happier and we will definitely be staying at this property again in the future!"

"It is a cozy little cabin that stayed comfortably cool all day. There is a small area out the master bedroom that is very nice sit at, it stays shady most of the day, and is enclosed so it is safe to let a dog roam. The neighborhood wasn’t busy (it was right after Labor Day), and the market and some eating places are in walking distance. Unfortunately, it is easy to hear noises outside, and the day we were leaving the storage room outside next to the master bedroom was being used before 8am which was noisy, and then someone was using a leaf blower by the front door"

"This place was perfect for my husband and I, although I would not recommend it if you have trouble with stairs (living space is upstairs). It’s right in the heart of Chester so it was easily accessible to Holiday Market, restaurants in either direction, the lake, and Mt. Lassen. Most of all, Diane, our hostess, communicated so well and even sent a video of how to get to the place! It was just perfect for our short drive to Lassen for hiking, super clean, quiet, and cozy. Thanks for being the perfect hostess!"
