Welcome to the Modern-Chic Cabin — a designer two-bedroom retreat perched at 5,000 ft in Mineral, where the mountains are close and the pace is slow. Built in 2016, this is not your typical rustic mountain cabin. Think sleek finishes, a fully-equipped kitchen, and thoughtful details throughout that make a longer stay feel effortless.
Lassen Volcanic National Park's Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center is just 10 miles down the road, making this an ideal base for families who want easy access to the park without the crowds. Explore the trails by day and return to the cabin to decompress on the back deck, settled into the Adirondack chairs among towering pines with a drink in hand.
The cabin sleeps 5 across two bedrooms, with a loft yoga studio for those who want to start the morning with intention before heading out to the trails. The wood stove takes the edge off cool mountain evenings, and the Weber grill on the back deck is ready for long, unhurried family dinners under the pines.
Lake Almanor is within easy reach for a relaxed day on the water, and Manton's vineyards make for a lovely afternoon for the adults in the group. For stargazers, the Dark Sky Festival draws visitors from across the state — and the skies here are worth staying up for.
High-speed Starlink and a Level 2 EV charger round out the setup. The Modern-Chic Cabin is designed for families who want the mountains without roughing it.

Security Cameras:
Please note that we have an exterior security camera up front facing the driveway and the steps to the cabin.
Drinking Water:
We are on city water with a whole house filter and a Brita filter in the kitchen. Please bring your reusable water bottles and save money and our planet from plastics. Thanks!
Electric Vehicle Charging:
We have a level 2 EV charger in the property for an additional cost. We will let you know exactly how much you used during your stay and charge you what the power company will charge us for KWH used at the end of your trip. Tesla owners, don’t forget to get your J1772 adapter!

We do NOT have a dishwasher. So, someone in your group must become the designated one :-)
