Forget overcrowded Yosemite and visit Lassen Volcanic National Park! It is home to remarkable hydrothermal features including roaring fumaroles, thumping mud pots, boiling pools, and steaming ground. And you'll be able to explore it at your leisure, cozied up in your luxurious three bedroom (plus loft), private mountain retreat just eight minutes from the park's entrance!

Your family will enjoy two nights at this incredibly popular property, rated five stars by over 100 guests on VRBO. The home features three spacious bedrooms and a sleeping loft/office with queen bed and pull-out couch. Perfect for kids and adults alike, this custom home is located in the midst of the forest, and backs up to Bailey Creek. Enjoy the views from one of four decks, or take advantage of the picnic table and fire pit in the back yard! After a day enjoying any number of outdoor activities -- hiking, fishing, and kayaking in warm weather; snowshoeing, cross country skiing, tubing in cold, just to name a few -- return to your quiet retreat to cook in the gourmet kitchen, play family games in the great room, curl up with a good book, watch a movie on the stereo television, take a long soak in the jetted tub, or enjoy the stars from one of the decks, so close you can almost touch them.

But don't forget to take in some of the fun Lassen Park has to offer before you leave! This gorgeous natural preserve is a nature lover's paradise. In addition to mini Yellowstone features it also has meadows freckled with wildflowers, clear mountain lakes, waterfalls, and numerous volcanoes.
