Angelique's Lakefront Tiny Haven

"Spent time at Tiny Haven on Labour day weekend. It's a nice place away from city life and in front of oldest and largest natural lake in the CA. Apart from lake activities, we enjoyed playing ping Pong with kids, axe throw board, etc. During the weekend Angelique arranged latest Top Gun movie outdoors. Angelique was very kind and accommodating to all out request. We had good time. Can't recommend enough."

"You can look at my other reviews. I am generally a positive person. But renter beware on this property. We ended up leaving within a few hours of arrival. If you know what you are getting and are ok with it, then fine. But do not go off the pictures or descriptions that they have listed prior. False advertising. The dock pictures that they have listed are of their own dock that is actually full of their own watercraft. If you have a nice boat, I think you will cringe at the dock that they ask you to use as a guest by default. Pictures attached. The pylons are too close together for many boats and are outside mounted so a longer boat won't fit between them. The tire bumpers have huge metal hooks/claws inside that will just wreck havoc on a boat. They then tell you that you can hook up to a hanging metal wire between two pylons which doesn't work well if your boat has a tower. It can maybe work ok if you have a low height fishing boat or a jet ski. Be aware that you would be swimming to and from the vessel each time if you go with that option. The swim step to the dock uses raw rebar as the steps and there are spiderwebs all over the hand holds. Be aware that the dock is hit at a 40-65 degree angle by the prevailing wind and waves. These waves can get up to white caps during the day. They of course show only pictures of the flat water timeframe instead of this reality of how exposed the dock would be to the battery of waves. There are no cleats on the dock to try and attach fenders to help the situation. Tying off to the pylons are your only available spot. The dock is old and even has a foot sized hole in it. Picture attached of that as well. The houses themselves are most simply described as somewhat refurbished mobile homes. Do not expect well maintained items. More on the spectrum of nice camping than renting a home. The exterior is poorly manicured. We found no fewer than 15 spiders on the inside of the home upon entering. When we asked for some spray, the answer we got was "no, we don't have any. It is just that season." Air conditioning in the living room/kitchen and one of the two bedrooms. The one in the kitchen is much nicer than the one in the bedroom. I did not see AC in the other bedroom. The host didn't really seem to care about being a host. I would not recommend this location."

"I love getting out on the water and there were plenty of options with jetskiis, paddle boards, and the plantoon boat. I love the jetskiis! The houses are nice, and I really enjoyed the pac man machine. It's in a smaller town but there's plenty of things to do on the property so you don't need to go out as much. I did stop by the Old Faithful of California on the way in and enjoyed it, and there's a casino not far, which was also fun. Overall had a blast and definitely would come again"

"This was a beautiful getaway with the family, to celebrate my bday. We stayed in the front unit with the beautiful view of the lake and it was the perfect place to be during the height of the pandemic. It was such a comfortable, quiet and relaxing place- I almost forgot there was a pandemic. I got the best sleep in a long time and got to spend quality time with the family. We went on a boat, kayaked at night under the star filled sky, and rode the bikes around the block. It was just what we all needed."

"Fantastic getaway for the big group! Angelique was very friendly and accommodating throughout our stay, and we had tremendous fun riding the boats and jetskis. It was very convenient that the dock was right in front of the house so we could go out and enjoy the water anytime we wanted. Would definitely come back again!"
