“We were passing by (after a day at Lassen Volcanic NP) for dinner. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere in the dining area is cosy, warm & inviting, as if you were sitting in a living room. The food tastes great and was nicely presented. I deduct one star as they add a credit card surcharge to the check. In the land of credit cards where you can pay anytime and anywhere with a CC this...”
“Beautiful place near the south entrance of Lassen Park. Cabins were cute and luxurious grouped facing a spectacular meadow. My family had fun watching the cowboys heard the cows on this meadow. Food was delicious and staff go out of their way to be accommodating.”
“Cottages are so serene and in a beautiful location. Restaurant food is expensive but was fantastic and worth the price - steaks were perfectly cooked and the whole meal was just great. Even the homemade honey lavender butter served with the complementary sourdough was amazing”
