Fe’s Bed & Breakfast

We recently discovered Fe’s B&B on our way from Crater Lake NP to Lava Beds NM. It is a hidden gem! While it may look like a simple home on the outside, the guest rooms are spacious and very comfortable. They share a nice sitting room, where Fe has collected lots of information on local things to do. Fe proved to be a treasure trove of information on all things local. She also cooks a delicious breakfast! If you are looking for a centrally located place to stay in Modoc County, Fe’s B&B is it. We are planning to come back in the next years to explore more of the many outdoor activities Modoc County has to offer.

Fe’s bed n breakfasts has hospitality DOWN. Fe greeted us when we checked in and she is one of the sweetest and happiest people I have ever met. In the morning, we got to talk with her Bob about where to explore around Lava Beds while enjoying a full course breakfast with fruit, eggs, bacon, coffee, and tea. Very helpful and nice people!

Upon walking into Fe’s bed and breakfast my family and I were very tired from a long road trip. Fe greeted us warmly and showed us to our rooms, which were immaculately cleaned and felt like home. The next morning, we were woken up by the smell of fresh coffee and waffles. Fe served us a delicious breakfast and we reveled in conversation. When we left, we felt as if we had come to visit a family member.
You can travel across the world and stay at hundreds of grand hotels, but finding little gems of hospitality like Fe’s B&B are what makes traveling truly special.
Thank you Fe, for touching people’s lives and making a simple bed and breakfast into a home for all of us tired travelers.

I had never been to Tulelake area, so when I reserved a room for two nights in someone’s home in the middle of nowhere, I was very worried about what I might get. When we got to Tulelake, my worries doubled! I thought there is no way we are going to get a comfortable place in this town (nothing against the town, but it just did not strike me as a visitor friendly town, it is a small agricultural community). But boy was I wrong! Once we got in, met Fe, saw our room and the rest of the facilities, all my worries disappeared.
Fe is very friendly, keeps a squeaky clean place, her guest rooms are very comfortable, and she makes a good breakfast. She was kind enough to ask us if we had any dietary restrictions or preference the night before.
If you ever go to visit Lava Beds National Monument or Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge, make sure to stay at Fe’s, you will be very happy with the accommodations in her establishment.

Fe sorry this review is long deserved your B&B is delightful. Fe’s lovely B&B is clean and very comfortable and she cooks a wonderful breakfast and Fe is just as sweet as pie. Just had a great little place to visit when you visit Tule Lake.

Fe’s B and B is a great place to stay if you are visiting the Lava Beds. It’s clean and Fe is a wonderful host. She asked what we would like for breakfast the evening before and what time we would like it served. The poached eggs, fresh fruit and vegetables were amazing! Now the town out there is not much to look at. But Fe’s place is all you need. And have dinner at «The captains stronghold «not far from Fe’s it’s excellent as we’ll.

Fe, you are amazing! Our family stayed the night before a big day touring the lava beds the next day. Fe was courteous to my family’s needs. Wait, courteous isn’t the right word. What’s the right word for having a nice fire going when my little girls head out of the room all sleepy-​eyed? What about how she already had appropriate morning cartoons playing for them and she served them juice? The night before she asked me what was my favorite flavor creamer. I told her and lo and behold, that flavor was in a small bottle next to my fresh cup of brewed coffee.
Fe is a lovely person to meet. She wants her guests to feel comfortable while still providing space for good family time.
Oh, and guess what my little two-​year old prayed over the breakfast of eggs, sausage, toast, and fresh fruit Fe made? «Dear God, thank you for letting us stay with Fe.» (That was after one night of staying there)
A dreamy home away from home. That is what Fe provides. A fairy godmother. That would be the closest description I can muster. Fe, it was a pleasure staying at your establishment with my family. Your hospitality set my family’s groove for a wonderful day.

Yay for Fe! I stayed here with my mom for one night. Tulelake is the closest town for access to the Lava Beds National Monument. Fe welcomed us in, and helped us get situated in our room. Fe is very friendly and got to know us. The place is quite nice, with a homey feel. She made breakfast for us the next morning, and it was excellent. She made an omelette, polish sausage biscuit, and potatoes. We were able to get an AARP discount to get 10% off.

I must say, staying here was quite a big surprise. As we entered the town of Tulelake we were a little apprehensive. The town is desolate or appeared that way to us. But once we checked out Fe’s B&B, which was one of maybe two B&Bs we were relieved to find it. We were hot, tired and the kids were getting edgy from hours of driving. Fe, thank god, had just gotten back from a trip herself, and wasn’t accepting guest, but she made an exception for us, and was amazingly friendly. By the time we left, we really felt that she was someone we knew for many years. (Bob her husband as well).
Fe keeps the house very clean and neat. The bedding was fresh and the bathrooms were spotless. That alone earns a five stars. Fe prepared a full breakfast with all the flavors of a good all around home cooked meal. Nothing fancy, but everything I want in a good, hot, breakfast after a tiring privious day.
What makes this place five stars, is really the people who run it. There are very few times in life where you meet people who will leave an impression on you that will last longer than your last day of vacation. I’m home now, and am writing this blog because I want you to find this place when you come to visit the lava beds and need a place to stay.

Fe is sweet, charming and accommodating. Her rooms are clean and inviting. We had planned to visit the Lava Beds National Monument and hike in the caves and surrounds for two days. In exploring lodging, I kept coming across favorable reviews for Fe’s Bed & Breakfast. I was delighted to find that the favorable reviews are not unfounded!
The room was quite inexpensive, $ 70 per night for our family of 3 including breakfast! And let me tell you, Fe makes a mean breakfast! She checks the night before to see if there are any preferences she needs to be aware of, including dietary needs and time. She typically has breakfast ready at 9:00am, but will start earlier if folks request. Breakfast included tea, coffee, juice, water, eggs, sausage, fresh fruit, ham and English muffins. We had to roll out the door to the Lava Beds!
Fe was able to direct us the night before to a dinner location at Mike & Wanda’s. She also directed us to two local market options for sandwiches and provisions for our hikes.
POINTS of INTEREST in TULELAKE
The town of Tulelake is fairly close to Lava Beds National Monument. Travel about 12 miles south on Hill road and you will easily reach the park. You will enjoy a view of prehistoric Tule Lake on your way to the park.
Other points of interest include a Tule Lake Relocation Center, a Japanese-​American internment camp from WWII which at one point housed 18,000 Japanese-​Americans and U.S. residents of Japanese descent. Camp Tule Lake, originally built by the CCC, was used early on during WWII as a temporary holding area for Japanese-​American evacuees and for folks who failed to respond to the loyalty questionnaire. In May 1944 Camp Tule Lake was converted to first an Italian and then a German POW camp housing up to 800 prisoners by war’s end.
Tule Lake is one of the largest bird migratory areas in the nation and is home to the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge. You do need to be careful when driving so that you don’t kill any feathered friends.
A note of caution, we were here in the summer, not during hunting season. Hunters mainly come for duck and geese. Judging by the amount of alcohol in the local grocery, I imagine that hunting season is quite a bit more crowded and possibly active than the summertime.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Fe’s near the start of our Northern California bike tour in June of 2011. Fe is very bubbly and friendly, really a joy to be around and talk with. We stayed in the main guest house (I read somewhere that they have another location down the street, but we didn’t see that).
The place was spotless, very comfortable, and since we were the only guests there we pretty much had the run of the entire place. The bed was very comfortable, there were two bathrooms right next to each other right outside the bedroom door, and just down the hall was a comfy sofa, recliner, and love seat in the living room where they had satellite TV, DVD, VCR, and about 30 movies on tape to choose from. The breakfast Fe cooked us in the morning was great — Coffee, milk, eggs, bacon and sausage, a waffle and fruit. Free WIFI is included as well.
I think we paid somewhere in the high $ 60 range, and when you consider the value of the morning breakfast, this place was as cheap as a Motel 6, but SO much nicer.
It’s the only place we’ll stay when we are near Lava Beds and the Tulelake Japanese Internment Camp.
Update 8÷15÷2011 — just stayed there again. Nothing has changed. Fe is still a joy, the place is still spotless. Highly recommended.

Fe is friendly, funny, and helpful and her establishment is a great place to stay while exploring lava beds. It is immaculately clean and she was happy to accommodate vegetarian breakfasts.

The options out here are limited. But if you would like the feeling of staying in a home instead of the prototypical motel, this is a good choice. The owner is pleasant, the place is nice and clean. I would stay there again.

This place is probably the best spot to sleep in this tiny town of Tulelake! This place is clean, neat, and Fe is super friendly! It is a great setup where you pretty much have a whole house to yourself upstairs with great clean room and a wonderful living room with satellite tv and surround sound and a wood fireplace, and a nice back balcony to hang out on! De makes you breakfast the next morning which was excellent as well; pancakes, eggs, sausage, and some fruit, coffee and juice. What more can you ask for? Definitely stay here if you for some reason find yourself trying to find a spot to crash!
