This is a historic hotel with charm. Clean atmosphere, clean rooms and beautiful grounds. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Rooms are private and quiet. We stayed in the Robins Roost Room with the Jetted Tub, very romantic with views of the lush green garden and the lake. There’s fruit trees on the grounds. The breakfast was amazing! I highly recommend this place for a rejuvenating and romantic place to stay,

If you are staying in Chester to visit Lassen Park, as we did, this is definitely the place to stay. It has so much character and the rooms are all individual. The grounds are perfect for enjoying an evening drink. The breakfast was amazing - especially as they were able to accommodate a vegan and a celiac sufferer in our party. Little touches included an honesty bar and free sherry in the lounge area. We didn’t stay as it was such lovely weather but there was plenty of room to hang out in the indoor sitting areas too. We were so happy to have stayed here rather than the Best Western down the road.

Great spot for Chester California Stay.
The location is great as it is just in the town limits of Chester. They keep the grounds up very nicely. My Rose room was spacious and furnished nicely.

This is a historic B&B Inn run by a lovely family. The common areas are furnished in old style, giving it a very cozy atmosphere. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the quiet in the evening after our visit to the Lassen national park. I definitely recommend this place.

This charming bed and breakfast captured my heart. We stayed in the Bidewell suite. This house was built many decades ago. It has been charmingly updated. The attention to architectural detail and updated dated bathrooms were excellent choices by the owners. Additionally, the rooms were decorated with antique pieces to give the establishment a personal touch. The hotel staff were courteous and helpful making sure our every need was met. There was a communal pantry for ice or storage of foods we brought in. I highly recommend this B&B without reservation.

We arrived to a warm welcome. Our room was so clean and beautiful. The bed was very comfortable. We had a glass of wine on the very well kept grounds and even played some outdoor games in the backyard. There is a lovely sitting room and a great breakfast in the morning definitely will recommend to anyone

Great Experience at Bidwell House
We arrived at the Bidwell and folllowed the instructions to call reception. Eva, the Inn Keeper greeted us and explained the amenities at Bidwell House. The property is a historic building so it has lots of character. The room we booked has been updated and was very spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was served every morning in the dining area and was a different egg based item that were all very different from the previous day and all very good. The Innkeeper Eva was very friendly and her staff were all nice and accomodating. We will definitely stay there again when in the area.

Beautiful historic house with sensitive additions and remodeling to make suitable. Yard, landscape, outdoor areas are wonderful. Long time with much water waste to get hot water to distant rooms, and clawfoot tub/shower a little difficult for older folks. Would be wonderful place for romantic couples.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bidwell House. Our hosts were gracious, friendly, and knowledgeable about the surrounding area's activities and dining options. They went the extra mile to help us with our late check-in. Delicious light breakfasts were prepared and served with warm smiles, and we enjoyed chatting with other guests as we relaxed in the mornings and evenings. We felt right at home!

The property is very cozy, clean, located close to the lake, just across the beautiful meadow. The owners are very friendly, helped us with advice of choosing the best trails for the day. Every day the owner prepared different breakfast and it was always so delicious! We really enjoyed our stay there.
