We had a wonderful stay. The home was well equipped and comfortable. The neighborhood was off the main road and quiet. The property was centrally located with short drives to Lassen and Burney falls. Although there were only two of use the place had ample room for a larger family. I highly recommend this property. Hope we can return someday.

Hat Creek Retreat

This cabin/house was one of the cleanest I have stayed at. The owner was super responsive with any questions. This are is very remote which we wanted but due to snowfall we weren’t able to do all hiking we wanted, so we did have to drive a bit to find things to do. Overall we really enjoyed the stay.
