Perfect amount of space for a family of 5. The kids enjoyed the cabin experience. It was a quick walk to the lake.

So peaceful. The cabins had all the basics, while still offering an unplugged escape. We brought an extra foam to lay on the bed then layers of full size bedding. Very cozy.

While we have historically been tent campers, it was wonderful to have a cabin so close to the lake and so easy to set up. Thank you!

Cabin was awesome- clean, comfortable, and well spaced out from the other cabins, excellent access to the lake and all of the trails in the park. The restroom is a pit toilet, which is fine, but there were literally no places to wash our hands or our dishes. All of the spouts by the cabin are labeled for drinking water only; it was genuinely odd the lack of sinks around. Also, the shared showers were beyond gross, like hadn't been cleaned in a week- hair everywhere, gross. Lassen itself was a real surprise and definitely worth visiting!

Always love the little cabins here. And the setting on the lake is wonderful. Our kids always want to come back again and again!

The website did not show additional available cabins, many were empty after our first night. We had to pay extra to stay in a glamp tent for the second and third night. The cabin was very clean and I tipped accordingly. The tent was not nearly as clean, the lamp was not charged, and the bear box was covered in oily fingerprints. For twice the price, I expected the tent and box to be cleaner.
The ranger taking entry fees as was a bit snappy when questioned the charge saying “it’s on the website!” Obviously, there is a lot of information on the site, no reason for her tone.

Another great experience at the cabins. Manzanita Lake is great, we hiked Lassen Peak this year. Very quiet even on Fourth of July.
