L. W. BUNNELL.—He is a native of New Hampshire, and came to California, via the
Isthmus, in 1851, arriving in San Francisco the latter part of June. He first
mined on Poorman's creek, Nevada. From there he went to Plumas county, and mined
on the middle fork of Feather river until 1853, when he went to the north fork
and mined until 1855, in which year he went to Butt valley, Plumas county, and
commenced farming and stock-raising, where he remained until 1867, at which time
he came to Big Meadows, and erected his present fine hotel. In connection with
his hotel, he has about 940 acres of land. Mr. Bunnell was married in 1869 to
Mrs. Julia E. Lee. The hotel is beautifully situated near the banks of the north
fork of Feather river, with groves of pines in the immediate background, and
Lassen's peak in the distance. The rooms are commodious and comfortable. The
table is supplied from the dairy with a plenty of fresh milk and butter. The
mountain streams in the immediate vicinity furnish an abundance of trout. Mr.
Bunnell is an agreeable gentleman and a popular landlord. During the warm season
the house is filled with guests from all parts of the state. Excursions are made
weekly to Lassen's peak, the Hot Springs, Mud Springs, and other places of
interest. Many invalids have derived permanent benefit from passing a few weeks
in Big Meadows.
