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

we spent one night here last year. We arrived late and were really impressed by this charming little B&B. Our room (Bidwell Room) was great with fireplace and large bathroom. We can highly recommend this B&B more

This hotel bills itself as a B&B but it is more of a motel that offers a large reception room and an elaborate breakfast. The rooms are large and generally well-appointed, although our room had an antique dresser with little drawer space. The rooms are attractively furnished and clean. The price is fair for the quality. I would advise anyone... more

We stayed at the Bidwell House in Chester while visiting Lassen National Park. The price of our room was quite reasonable, and the location is fine for a Lassen visit. Chester is a pretty ramshackle little town, but the BIdwell House is charming, and the innkeeper is welcoming and helpful. The house is older, and the room we stayed in,... more

My husband and I stayed in the Lassen room for a few nights for our last anniversary. The innkeepers were very friendly, the inn was gorgeous, and the grounds were idyllic. The best part - the room was clean clean clean. I'm a vegetarian and I didn't have problems finding plenty to eat for breakfast any of the mornings that... more

I have stayed at The Bidwell House a number of times over the last 5 years. It is always a treat. I have stayed in the Winter and enjoyed the white cloaks of snow on the pine trees and I have stayed in the Fall and enjoyed the beautiful leaves turn shades of gold, amber and ruby. The hosts are... more

I called to make a reservation using a gift certificate for a 2 night stay that I won at a silent auction fundraiser. I received a confirmation letter that gave information on the room I'd reserved, check-in/out times, cancellations, etc. About a week later, & almost 2 weeks before the reservation date I'd made, I called to cancel it as... more

Management response from
Filip Laboda, Innkeeper

In the Redwoods comments relating to The Bidwell House as an "Awful Experience" compel a reply. The Bidwell House is, and has been, in the bed and breakfast industry for over 15 years and takes great pride in the fact that almost all our guests have had extraordinarily enjoyable stays. The guest comments in the books we leave in the...
