Family Lake House Steps from Rec 1 with Beach and Lake Access

We stayed with a 3 year old and a 10 month old so the main consideration was location and this place was ideal. We could walk up and back from the beach multiple times a day with no need for a car. The playground was also great for the 3 year old to run and climb and play with other kids. They had lawn games for the kids and we grown ups could play bocce, horseshoes, corn hold, pickleball right across the little road. The grill and outside table were perfect for family dinners while the littles crawled/ran in the front yard. The only thing I would say is that parking directions weren’t clear to any of us. Maybe an orange cone to mark the side that isn’t ok? Other than that little glitch, it was really perfect- comfortable, relaxing, beautiful,

We had a wonderful stay at the Hellman House. The home was much bigger than I expected which was fanatic for our young family. Rec 1 is literally steps away from the house. A quick trip to the park, beach, or pickle ball courts is no problem. The HOA keeps the neighborhood in great shape and it was a relief to relax at the beach. The HOA rakes the beach in the morning and they wipe the dew off the picnic tables in the morning, wow! We were centrally located for trips to Burney Falls and Lassen. We rented a jet ski at Knotty Pine and switched out riders at Rec 1. We enjoyed local food at Îl Lago and Timber Lodge Tavern. The owner was very quick to answer my questions and handle a few hiccups at the property. I’m not sure what’s going on with the HOA gate codes, but it seems like there’s a new separate system for renters. We never got it figured out, but security was very helpful. We plan to return!

Three couples came for a long weekend to play pickleball, golf and boat with two other couples in another house.Pros: cute house, very clean, loved the outdoor seating, plenty of towels, plenty of eating utensils and dishes, perfect location for us - right across pickleball courts and live concert plus, walking distance from the boat dock, very responsive owners.Cons: no end table or lamps in third bedroom only overhead lighting. Only overhead lighting in living room as well. All rentals (not just this home) should provide paper towels, tissue, bath soap or body wash & plenty of tp. Do people actually travel with these items, especially if flying in? Also, it would be helpful to put the house address on the front of the house (in large font) instead of around the back in small lettering.

We absolutely loved our stay at this Lake Almanor cabin! The interior was nicely updated and clean. Plenty of room for two families with small kids. The location absolutely makes this property! Its right across from a rec center with pickleball courts, a playground, and beach access. Will definitely be staying here again.
