FAQs

Question

Where is Lake Almanor?

Answer

Lake Almanor is about a two-hour drive from Reno. For those traveling from out of state, we recommend flying into Reno and then driving from there. We encourage everyone to rent a car or carpool with others. If you'd like help connecting with people to carpool, feel free to reach out to us!

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

For lodging, we recommend booking a rental through Vrbo or Airbnb near the peninsula. If you prefer a hotel stay, there are additional options in Chester (a 15-minute drive) or Susanville (about 35 minutes away).

Question

Will there be a ceremony?

Will there be speeches and dances?

Answer

Oh yes! We’ve got some heartfelt speeches and plenty of dancing in store — so get ready to laugh, cheer, and hit the dance floor!
