10/10 Exceptional

Our stay at Bidwell House exceeded our expectations. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, comfortable, quiet and quaint. The Inn offered many niceties from complementary afternoon sherry, coffee and tea available anytime, well maintained grounds with plenty of spots to sit down and relax. Breakfast was delicious! Homemade and different every morning.

A comfortable and homely stay in a very restful and characterful setting. Great breakfasts. Lovely aspens in the well tended garden. Would stay there just for a great getaway to peace and quiet.

Nice, comfortable B&B inn. We spent three nights at Bidwell House. My wife enjoyed our breakfasts more than I did. Our host, Eva, was informative and helpful with suggestions about what to do in the area (Lake Almenor & Mt. Lassen). Mt. Lassen was a great NP to visit - and we went to three different parts of the park on each of our three days based in Chester.

No complaints

Rooms were comfortable and clean. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was also very good. I plan on visiting again.

Back to the Bidwell House!

First off, this is an historic resort, and it is not air conditioned. Our room had a tower fan that ran continually and as soon as it cooled down at night, we got the windows open. Second, this is not a resort for small children, as there isn’t really much for them to do - no pool, no playground. However it is an excellent place for adults to use as a base of operations for exploring in the area. Great breakfast, a wonderful main lodge and patio, as well as a porch swing out front. As a historic building be prepared to see the age, in some creaky boards in the walkways, and a bit of a struggle to get the windows open or closed. But it’s all so worth it! We will certainly be back.
