This B&B located in Chester, CA is perfect for relaxing & sightseeing in the area. My husband and I stayed for 3 nights in late April and loved it. We reserved the cottage which was comfortable and roomy for the 2 of us - could use some updating but was very nice and the beds were comfortable. The staff at... More

My hubby and I stayed over Christmas for a couple of nights at the Bidwell House, and the perfect blend of warmth and assistance, coupled with fine touches like house Sherry, internet access, champagne and chocolates in the room made our stay there simple perfect. You are left to feel at home and without anyone hovering, yet ever detail is... More

Everything was perfect! The Bidwell House is truely a Wonderful Old House with Innkeepers/Owners that were truely welcoming. Our room was so comfortable and romantic. Every detail was true to this area and its time. Breakfast was excellect for the big eater and the fussy little eater. We arrived on our motorcycles and we're treated as welcome and honored guests.... More

We stayed in the Meadow View room (I think!)...very large room with huge king bed that was super comfortable. The bathroom was also large with a nice jacuzzi tub. Very quiet. Breakfast was bountiful and tasty. You certainly won't go hungry here! The inn is run by a young European couple who are the hardest working duo I've met. They... More

We enjoyed our stay here on a recent road trip. It's obvious that the innkeepers/owners pay attention to details. The room, the Garden Room, was large and well appointed. Breakfast was fresh, nicely served, and the coffee was good! Most places really mess up the coffee, not this one. I think travelers with older children would like this inn becuase... More

The staff are all very welcoming and helpful with all questions. The 3 course breakfasts are excellent with great individual attention from the staff. The yard and porch are a wonderful place...

Bidwell House is a great B&B in a great location. The room had everything we needed and was spacious and comfortable. The patio was great and we would have liked to spend more time in the lovely garden relaxing. The breakfast was delicious and ample(!) and there were nice extras such as a fridge/freezer, microwave and coffee maker for use... More

I recently stayed here at the end of a business trip. The owners welcomed me to a large king-bed room with a private jetted tub. Although the B & B is right on the highway it is quiet. This is a good thing since there is no AC. Chester offers little; other than access to facinating Lassen National Park and... More

The Bidwell House has a lot going for it: The owners and staff are all friendly and pleasant (even the cat is welcoming!) The food was good and they will deliver coffee to your room in the morning. The grounds are beautiful. It is close to Lassen, especially to the incredible Warner Valley section of the park. (Don't miss the... More

We stayed in 'Old Glory' which was a large, well furnished room on the 2nd floor. Compared with other highly rated B&Bs in which we stayed on our trip the Bidwell house was very good but not quite in the top category. The building and our room were showing a few signs of wear (the desk chair was broken) but... More
