Steak bites with mashed potatoes
Christine S.

Great spot with a fun, laid-back atmosphere. We stopped in to watch the UFC fights, and the crowd had a really easygoing, local feel that made the night enjoyable. The drinks were solid, and the food was a highlight- the steak bites with mashed potatoes were great, and the pretzel bites with cheese sauce were also excellent. Overall, a comfortable place to hang out and enjoy good food.

Themed decor

Had some appetizers, sorry no pics, Brussel sprouts, pretzel bites, and cocktails. The service was great, very personable, and informative about their booze and drinks. Lovely, cozy, themed, beautiful decor.

Went in for another quick drink. Yes, they do have gender neutral restrooms for those who care. Couldn't go back and change it. Pretzel bites were amaze balls!

Us on our way home from work.  Best time to stop by the Timber House Lodge!

Ambience was perfect. Exactly what we were looking for after a long work week. We pamper others for a living and we're looking to get some pampering for ourselves and did we pick the right place. Food was great hot and tasty, staff was on it (bartender as we sat at the bar) prices were very reasonable. Cocktails and beer were great too...Will will be back

Came in during happy hour. Just a tip that the regular menu isn't available until 5 PM. Despite the limited options, the food was great overall. The wine selection wasn't the best, but it seems they're more known for the beer offerings. I'll definitely be back -- a solid choice when in Chester!

Would not have expected this fab experience in this little town. Super cool vibe at this place. Nice outdoor seating , heat lamps , corn hole. Inside a very rustic timber lodge look. Nice menu. and fab beer. Well had one double ipa and it was great. Busy. Great server. Swayed me from burger to Sea Bass and truly its polar opposite but it was exactly what I needed. Slices of carrots, asparagus, rice and a lovely sea bass. I added cracked pepper. I also had the side salad. It was lovely. Kenya was my server and well done!

After a long hike, it was time for refreshments! I ordered the margarita and the rest of my party ordered beers. We were visiting during the time frame when they only have drinks and snacks. The snacks were a hit and we need more! The beer and marg was so so. It was so hawtttt! I wish they had misters or something. Servers was very nice! Bathrooms are gender shared but very modern and clean! The outside and color will draw you in! Don't forget about the corn hole and large jenga set. Dog and children friendly!

This review is for both hotel and restaurant. Absolutely loved both. Our room was beautiful decorated and totally went with the gypsy theme. Comfortable bed and the gypsy room has plenty of room to roam. No bath tub but nice walk in shower. Fridge in room. The restaurant we were equally pleased with just outside our room so walked over for the happy hour that had a lot of snack and drink options. I'm pretty sure we got 1 of everything on the happy hours bites menu and yes we ate it all. My favorite was the cheese curds. We went back to our room and went for a walk in the area then came back to the restaurant for dinner. The restaurant was decorated I would call it winter cabin style. Beautiful fire place and bar. Both of our servers were wonderful and on top of getting drinks and all the stuff we asked for. Highly recommend staying here and dining at the brewery. Great experience and very close to lassen where we went and had a great snow day.

FOOD The food was great here, full of flavor, we both ordered a burger and order of Brussels sprouts. We also ordered the blonde and strawberry blonde. SERVICE Waiter was super attentive came around multiple times to check in on us, see if we needed any additional, beers, water etc. AMBIANCE We loved the outside seating, and the corn hole while you wait for your food and drinks.

Another Fantastic meal at the Timber Lodge in Chester, CA. The ambiance, the staff and the food was out of this world.

We make it a point to dine at the Timber lodge every trip to Lake Almanor. A very romantic atmosphere and the ambiance gives you such a feeling of being in the mountains with the gorgeous decor. The staff was so attentive and checked in numerous times to make sure everything was perfect with our dinner. Lunch or dinner the food is the best in the area for a great dinner out with my wife. We make it a point to come to the Timer lodge multiple times when we are up at the Lake. Spot on location for a meal.

The tacos were very good. The chicken sandwich was messy but worth it. Did not like their vodka. Would definitely eat here again.

Best Western Rose Quartz Inn was overall a pretty average stay for this type of hotel. Nothing…read moreterrible, nothing especially memorable, just one of those places that serves its purpose when you are passing through a small mountain town and mainly need a roof over your head, air conditioning, and a decent place to sleep. The accommodations themselves were okay. The room was comfortable enough, and after long days on the road and exploring nature, honestly sometimes "slightly above camping" becomes a perfectly acceptable category of comfort. Breakfast was fine and did exactly what hotel breakfasts are meant to do: provide caffeine, carbohydrates, and the emotional support necessary to start driving again. Nothing extraordinary, but perfectly adequate. The front desk staff did not feel especially warm or welcoming overall. However, the rest of the staff was actually very friendly, especially Gwen, who truly deserves recognition. She went completely out of her way to help me with a post office issue without me even asking for assistance. That kind of unsolicited kindness really stands out when traveling. Later we happened to see her again at dinner, and she was just as warm and friendly there too. Kudos to Gwen for genuinely caring about guests. The biggest issue for me was cleanliness in the bathroom. There appeared to be mold, or at the very least some questionable staining, around the shower curtain area and near the soap dispenser. It was noticeable enough that housekeeping and maintenance could definitely pay more attention to those details. Overall, this hotel worked for what we needed during our stay in Chester. It is not luxurious, but in a small town with limited options, it provided a functional and reasonably comfortable stop along the journey.

We were told that the owners had recently remodeled. Hmmmm... I am not sure what it was like before they remodeled, but I can say that the carpet and bedding were clean and did not seem old. The bathroom was very outdated, but clean. My biggest problem with this place is that the shower and shower door were rusted and seriously water stained and would barely open, the tiles in the shower and surround were very chipped and a bit of a disgrace. I could not bring myself to get into the shower as I know that it is impossible to clean and disinfect broken, rough surfaces adequately. I have seen campgrounds with much better maintained shower areas then this. A very basic hotel room which would've been fine except for the questionable shower. All at a cost of 89.00 per night. Yikes. I agree with the previous reviewer there is no where to sit and the bed and the exterior plastic chairs bring the efforts that have been made to spruce this place up, down. The location is good you can walk to restaurants. The ceiling is a really pretty pine and this place could be absolutely adorable with a complete redo of the baths and further attention to comfort type details. We will not return or recommend.
