We were looking for a short break from the day to day grind. Beautiful views and walking trails on a conservation meadow with a historic landmark. Mimi is a gracious host. Would definitely come back.

The best hip camp out there!

5 m travel trailer

The best hip camp out there! We had such a great time staying at Mimi's and will definitely be back. The hospitality (the fresh squeezed orange juice is the best), chats with Mimi (who is awesome), playing ball with Indie, and of course the views.. can't beat that. We didn't have plans and just wanted to get away from the smoke in Oregon, but Mimi gave us some tips for places to check out and we are now adding Lake Almanor to our favorite places to visit. What a gem! And love how dog friendly everything is. It was so easy to get in and out (simple, straight back in) and the fact that there is water, electric, and sewer for our trailer was amazing. Thank you so much!!

Lovely stay

6 m travel trailer

We loved our stay at Mimi’s! It was peaceful and quiet, the perfect place to relax and take in the stunning view! We visited Lassen National Park both days which was only about 30 minutes away. Nightly walks to the barn, lake, or river were a treat! On our last day Mimi made us fresh squeezed orange juice, it was delicious. Would definitely stay again!

Treasured Location & Gem Host!

8 m travel trailer

What a treasure. Mimi's land backs up to a public land trust that includes a historical barn and walking paths to the rivers edge. The town of Chester is friendly and quiet, and her place is a short drive to lake Almanor. She assisted by telling us about a great bait shop and a place to access fishing from the shore. She was friendly, helpful, and a gem herself. She has bird houses and feeders around her yard and we enjoyed watching the birds as the sun set in the evening. Her dog is friendly and smart, making anyone feel welcomed.

Highly recommended!

Mimi's Hideaway was a beautiful, peaceful home away from home. Mimi was the perfect hostess. My husband and I were in the area to explore, having never been there before. Waking up with the birds chirping and going to sleep with the sound of the wind in the nearby Aspen trees was so comforting. Mimi's Hideaway borders a large pasture and historic barn that is part of a land trust and such fun to explore. Of course visiting with Mimi and playing fetch with her Border Collie Indie was a bonus. We would absolutely recommend staying at Mimi's Hideaway and we will be back!☺️
