Peace and Serenity

This is my all-time favorite place to stay! The views from the house and the peaceful setting are 2nd to none. I would highly recommend. This was the perfect place for a group of golfers to be while not on the golf course!

Relaxation with beautiful views

We had a great time at the Albaugh Family Guest House. This was everything we needed for a nice, relaxing golf vacation. Plenty of space for our group of 6 golfers and could have easily accomodated a couple more. I especially loved enjoying my morning cup of coffee while admiring the views of the valley below.

Great location

We loved the view from the house. Green pasture and cows surrounded by hills and mountains. We also really enjoyed the two very friendly barn cats. The kitchen is well stocked. The house and furniture are dated and have seen better days. But everything worked. The owner, Elena, was very responsive.

Fishing and relaxing in McArthur

We four adults thoroughly enjoyed the Albaugh ranch house. The kitchen is thoroughly stocked with cooking supplies and equipment. The views from the ranch house are outstanding. Fishing on the Pit River at this time of year is fantastic and the house is centrally located for other outings such as McArthur Burney Falls Park. I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing views of the cattle ranch and mountains. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook- utensils, pots and pans and dish ware. The tube tv in the photos has been updated to a flat screen. The home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Beautiful property close to great outdoor spots

We really enjoyed our stay here. Starting from having the morning coffee near the big windows in the living room and taking in the view of the mountains. Very picturesque setting. We also checked out Lassen National Park and Mt Shasta and the location is perfectly in the middle for both. The host was also very responsive. Overall, it was an amazing winter gateway.

The owner, Elena, was helpful and responsive to my questions. This quiet, peaceful property is a working cattle ranch in a beautiful, green valley. Because of the smoke from California fires, we were unable to enjoy the view of Mt. Lassen, however the views from the house on the hill are amazing. Just seeing the young calves play together in the field across the street was fun. The house itself easily sleeps a dozen, but because there were only 3 of us we had more than enough room to spread out. After the long drive to get there, the jacuzzi tub in the main bathroom relaxed my road-weary muscles. I would recommend this house for anyone who wishes to get away from it all, those with large families, perhaps a girlfriend getaway, or even a hand-crafter's retreat.

Incredible setting..photos do not do the property justice

Rented this house for a weekend get away to reunite with family after Covid quarantine. Had kids and grandkids there. This place was amazing and perfect for us. Incredible views from inside and outside the house. Every evening we sat under the trees, which are lit up with lights, and watched the sunset, beautiful lawn area. Outdoor chairs are provided. In addition they also had games for the kids, a porta crib for the baby, which we didnt expect. Met the owner of the property, Steve, who lives down the street. Very nice and gave us history of the home. We would definitely visit again.

Excellent staycation!

Our family LOVED our time at the ranch. The home was perfect - spacious, clean, comfortable, and with incredible views. We have recommended this space to so many friends and family already. Elena was an excellent host - easy to contact and close by - she even mailed back some items that we had accidentally left behind!
