"Loved my stay at Drakesbad, they staff was pleasant, the property was beautiful and calm, and their food was great. Dining staff in the evening was amazing, the girls were so attentive and supportive to answering any questions. I loved the horses, and the hikes that were on-site. They were truly magical. I also loved how quiet and peaceful the property was.
Getting it there is a gravel road for 3 miles, I would say be careful because there were a few pot holes (hopefully that can be repaired). I made sure to get back before sun-down so I could see them.
My only issue was that I ordered a lunch sandwich to be picked up after breakfast because I was going to go hiking. The girl who took my order at dinner the previous evening said it would be ready at 7:30 AM. So the next morning I went to breakfast and after I was done eating around 8 AM I asked for my lunch to go. The sandwich wasn't done until 8:30 AM. Staff (I think different than the evening staff) kept saying that they were making it, however it shouldn't take 30 minutes to make a turkey sandwich. I think if you are going to pack lunches for guests, especially because many are going to hike and it take a good few miles to get off property to Lassen, it's best to have a system that caters to people who want to set out early for a hike. They were apologetic, however I was set back an hour from my hike.
Overall, loved my visit, the community of people, and such a beautiful place I'd visit again and plan to stay & visit."
"The rooms was newly renovated. The bed was very comfortable. They view of the property from our windows was amazing. We had the opportunity to walk the property along the stream that runs through it. We even fished (catch and release) for trout. As cheesey as it sounds we truly has a magical stay. 1000/10 would recommend!"
"Wonderful place, wonderful staff! 2nd bed & breakfast experience and it was amazing! Breakfasts were great and the conversations with other guests were amazing!"
Fascinating volcanic rocks suggest an enormous debris avalanche shook the area just a few centuries ago. Swim in the lake and hike around the mountains.
