Riverfront Cabin on Hamilton Branch · Lake Almanor / Pet-Friendly

Cozy Cabin · Sleeps 6 · King Bed · Steps to the River.
The enchanting sight and soothing sound of the river are the star features of this home. Nestled in a serene, private setting surrounded by towering pines, the tranquility here is truly remarkable. Just steps from the back deck, guests can cast a line and catch trout right from the riverbank—many even brag about landing a fish within minutes. This waterway is known for excellent trout fishing, literally out your back door and only two blocks from Lake Almanor. The riverside trail leading to the water is exclusive to our guests only.
Out on the spacious deck, a fire-pit table sets the perfect mood for morning coffee, evening s’mores, or a glass of wine under the stars. Inside, the newly renovated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a convection oven, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and modern mood lighting perfect for cooking and entertaining. It comes fully stocked with cookware, baking essentials, wine glasses, and small appliances including a drip coffee maker, toaster, blender, and electric tea kettle.
After a day outdoors, guests can unwind in comfort. The home offers plush, comfortable beds with blackout curtains in every bedroom for restful sleep, and on-site laundry for added convenience during longer stays.
Adventure is never far away. Lassen National Park is just 30 minutes away, offering scenic trails and hydrothermal wonders like bubbling mud pots and steaming vents. Lake Almanor invites hours of fun with 52 miles of shoreline—perfect for boating, kayaking, or enjoying the 42-mile paved Lake Almanor Recreational Trail by bicycle.
Whether you’re here to fish, explore, or simply relax to the peaceful rhythm of the river, this home offers the ideal setting for a memorable mountain escape.

We had a wonderful stay! The host was very helpful with local dining recommendations. The cabin was clean, organized, and had everything we needed. We loved listening to the river right outside and it was just a short drive to Lake Almanor, where we enjoyed boating all weekend. Perfect location and an overall great experience—we’d definitely stay here again!

A great place!

This was a great house to stay in. It's well appointed, clean and comfortable. It was a very short drive to the Hamilton Branch fishing access which was a big plus for my kids. The sound of the river behind the house was very peaceful. I would definitely recommend this for a quiet mountain getaway.

Great Cottage on Peaceful River

Well appointed and recently remodeled cottage was perfect for a 3 night stay. My son and I came to the area for a fishing trip and this was close to all the spots by the lake. We had everything we needed to cook in each night and enjoyed listening to Hamilton branch river to go to sleep. Back deck had nice views of river and peaceful to sit for a rest. Debbie, the owner was communicated well checking in on us once there.

Debbie and Dave were the most responsive hosts we have encountered during our many years of experience with vacation rentals. The property was comfortable, immaculate and so well stocked and equipped we thought we were home. The view from the, to say nothing about the sound of the water was simply wonderful and so peaceful. The neighborhood was quiet and safe for long walks and they even delivered a freshly laundered blanket for our pooch to sleep. Simply a wonderful stay that we hope to repeat.
