We take great pride in the many positive responses we receive from our guests. Many of our guests return again and again and when they take the time to write, we know we've helped create a wonderful memory. A great rest and delightful, quiet, homey place. Filip Eva you work hard to make people feel welcome. Thanks for all Chantel!. Snow covered everything, beautiful time of the year.. A wonderful vacation and getaway. This is our third stay and we will definitely be back. This time we brought our daughter and she enjoyed it as much as we did. The breakfast was great as usual, wonderful service, peaceful, and beautiful. Thank you so much.. Our stay was a pleasant surprise! Absolutely wonderful! Chester and the Bidwell house are charming, and we will surely come back. The fireplace, tub, and big comfy bed kept us warm. Thank you!. Marianne Alexander. What a beautiful location! With the mountains and running river behind you. This place has everything going for it! The service was attentive and kind and that means the world to me, in feeling welcome. We enjoyed the beauty of Chester all the more because we stayed here. I hope you will be here a long time so we can return our stay with you. Much success!!. This place is AWSOME. We went hiking in the snow (bring socks). We made beef stew and the breakfast was great.. We returned after our engagement for our wedding. This place will always hold a special place in my heart. Our wedding was more wonderful then I imagined. Philip and Eva and staff, made our wedding great. We will be back to celebrate our anniversary.. What a wonderful, relaxing way to spend three nights away from it all. Your BB is homey and comforting. The breakfasts were delicious and your staff is pleasant and friendly. Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks to all you at the Bidwell House.. Its hard to leave such a beautiful, peaceful place. Thank you for your hospitality. You have a lovely staff. The room was charming-the bed quite comfy. I slept well. We enjoyed the breakfast-yummy plus beautifully presented. Thanks again!. This house is built and managed with love. You can see and feel it everywhere, thanks.. We really enjoyed our stay in the Mt. Lassen room. We traveled from N.C. to see Oregon and North California and it is beautiful. Chester is a very friendly town and the Inn is comfortable and welcoming. Breakfast is delicious here! Sorry we pigged out on the cookies! We especially liked the watching the deer with her two babies!. The Inn is a wonderful place to relax and renew. Filip, Eva, and Sabra have made our stay so special. We truly did feel at home here. Sitting on the porch in the late afternoon and evening (watching the moon rise) were really special times to remember. The visiting deer, the cookies, the lovely furnishing, and the delicious meals made it a setting that calls us to return ASAP. The people, though, are the ones that make a place a home away from home. Thank you all.. What a great place. So nice to find somewhere different than hotel chains where everything is the same. Here, there is real personal service to the very lightest standard and such great hosts. We came to visit Lassen Park; we wish we could have stayed longer. Also, it was very clean, good food, excellent service, and a well tended garden.. On short notice we were able to make reservations on the 3rd and 4th. What a special place to spend the 4th of July. The Chester 4th of July parade starts on the other end of town and ends at the Bidwell House. The streets fill up with lawn chairs the night before the parade-people came from all over. It was really special to experience small town mentality and the creativity of the town. My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our room! The jacuzzi tub for 2, the enormous pillow top bed, and the super breakfasts made it all worth while. You can really feel the heart Eva and Filip put into this B B. We are going to recruit more for next 4th of July.. This place is absolutely beautiful! Eva and Filip, you are wonderful, and congrats on the baby! The breakfasts were absolutely amazing and the room is huge. Very comfortable! The garden is also beautiful. We came here to hike Mt. Lassen, and your stay was worth every penny. Thank you!. The extra touches (Sherry, baked goods, coffee and tea selection) made this a very pleasant stay. The room was lovely. Thanks for the upgrade! We will definitely stay here again if passing through, and we will recommend it to others.. Wow! Weve stayed in several B Bs beforeI must say that this one has a special charm that exceeds all the others. We had gotten away to celebrate a recent retirement-so we loaded up the motorcycle and thought the Lake Almanor area would be a good choice. Picking Chester to stay in was just a fluke-but the perfect choice and most beautiful for motorcycling. We love the beautiful gardens. We enjoyed it tremendously. We will visit again! Thank you!. My husband and I have just spent a wonderful night here. We found this place in a Frommers Guide of the western State and National Parks. Thank goodness they had one room available. (It was a last minute trip planned on Saturday, and we got here Sunday!) The room is cozy and the bed is so comfy! We were delighted to see the crib in the corner as that we have our own little one on the way! Breakfast was delicious and very filling. The cookies were delightful(mmm!) I could have eaten the whole cookie jar. We had a nice low key dinner at the Country Kopper Kettle. My husbands steak sandwich was huge! Hopefully we will be back soon!. I celebrated my 60th Birthday in your beautiful and restful home. The breakfasts were fantastic, and the trap door with delivered coffee was brilliant. The area is breathtaking with so much to do. We loved the many sights. Chester has all of the supporting commerce and we really enjoyed the variety of restaurants. I leave after three days feeling totally refueled. Thanks for a wonderful stay and for making this birthday so special!. This is our 25th wedding anniversary getaway and I really enjoyed our choice of selecting the Bidwell House Rose Room for our special evening. Although we live just 65 miles away in Chico, weve never heard of this wonderful retreat. It was only through surfing the internet that I found it, and I am very glad that I did. This was a totals surprise to my wife. I told her two weeks ago to have her bags packed because we are going to a romantic cottage. She thought we were either going to San Francisco, McCloud, or Sacramento, and she couldnt believe it when I told her Chester and to the Bidwell House. My wife said I have done really good! Were both glad I choose well.. What a wonderful way to spend Easter. The Bidwell house is so charming. Our hosts Eva and Filip were so hospitable and made us feel so welcome and comfortable. The bed was comfortable in our MacKenzie B room-However, we did not get to see the infamous ghostMaybe next time!! Thank you for the wonderful stay and the great breakfast too!. Filip and Eva make wonderful foods, breakfast beyond description. They were very gracious hosts for our friends wedding here at the Bidwell House. We all had a very good time; the wedding dinner was especially good. Everyone at the gathering felt very comfortable and had a great time! The area around here is great. We took a relaxing walk to look at the lake and pretty barn.. Room was so clean. Jacuzzi was so refreshing! Dinner perfectly seasoned! Atmosphere was perfect! Our grandsons wedding-a delight! Thank you Filip and Eva!. What a romantic getaway! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming Annies Room. A lovely place, comfortable, nice friendly host. Enjoyed being massaged at the Jacuzzi tub. A great way to relieve tension and worries! Thanks for the accommodations. See you soon!. First time in a BB. Enjoyed every minute. Mindy the cat was an added treat. She made it feel like you...
