If you must stay at the Bidwell House try to book a room/pay for only one night in advance in order to protect yourself financially. We booked 3 nights for our wedding anniversary to visit Lassen National Park. We were required to pay the entire cost for three days upfront. Unfortunately, forest fires raged around Chester and Lassen National Park... more

My wife and I were first time guests at Bidwell House for three nights in July, 2009. We stayed at the property while visiting and hiking trails at Mt. Lassen. We found the house and grounds excellent for a B&B. Our room and bathroom were spacious and clean. The bed was quite comfortable. The staff, especially the breakfast crew, was... more

After stays in more than 30 B&Bs, I felt this inn had more of a hotel like feel. There is a lot of staff and we are not sure if we ever met the owners (Eva may have been the woman who took our key as we checked out. She never did introduce herself). The Bidwell is the nearest inn... more

I recently stayed at the Bidwell House after a day of touring Lassen. I was really looking forward to a relaxing evening there after researching it on the web. I noticed that the site mentioned it was booked for weddings most Saturdays. I didn't worry because I was staying on a Sunday night. When we got back from Lassen, around... more

My gusband and I decided to get away from the heat and travel to Chester. This is the third time we've stayed at the Bidwell House and it was by far our best visit. We were able to meet the new Innkeepers, Eva and Filip. They are a great couple and have done wonders with the B&B. They have a... more

WE stayed here for one night when we left Lassen National Park This hotel was very noisy. You are on the main road and you feel like the trucks are in your room. Breakfast was very mediocre. I had expected more . The room we stayed in did not have a shower which I was not told. They need to... more

The Bidwell House is an OK B&B. If you are visiting Lassen NP area, this will be the most comfy place to stay, for sure. It's 30 miles from the park so it's not exactly close. When you arrive, you have to call the owner (Flilip), who will waltz over from his own house next door, in flip flops and... more

We stayed here on our way to Lassen Volcanic National Park and it was just wonderful. Easy to check-in, fresh homemade cookies in the main room, sherry by the fireplace, books, movies, antiques and most importantly of all a nice jacuzzi tub in the room. Also, the morning breakfast was a delicious 3 course meal. more

This truly is the best B+B we've stayed at in Northern CA. Bidwell is charming, cute, and relaxing. You are welcomed from the second you arrive. The rooms are large, and most have jacuzzi tubs. They are tastefully decorated, and have a romantic feel. The details here are amazing, from the sherry you can drink in the front room, to... more
