Shasta Spring Break

We couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay. It was the perfect location to many outdoor activities. The home itself was cozy and had all the amenities we needed. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. Will definitely be back to do more exploring!

Beautiful guest house

We loved the house. It was great except the previous guest must have had a dog and the house smelled like a dog. I had to use air freshener and open all the windows. There was no dog hair but the smell was overwhelming and powerful. After 24 hours with the windows open the smell dissipated but it was rough the first night.

Clean. Cute

Good location. Easy access to freeway and lake activities. Very clean and safe. Only surprising deficit was the lack for an oven in the kitchen. Plan meals accordingly. I would stay here again.

Overnight Stop

This was a clean and comfortable home to break up the drive to Oregon. Close to the freeway but no freeway noise. Able to park a car with trailer. Good fenced yard for our dog. Cute outdoor siting area and bar b que; if only it had been warmer! It was nice inside, the bed was comfortable, and the master bathroom was clean and had good amenities.

New Years Celebrations/ Shasta Caverns

We rented this home for an overnight trip to the Shasta Caverns. The rain accumulation for the weekend forced the caverns to stop tours. We ended up still going on our trip because it was too late to cancel the rental. We had a blast ringing in the new year with our children. I was surprised to find there was no oven. We bought lasagna to cook for dinner. Thankfully we bought two small Costco lasagnas and they fit in the toaster over we found tuck away in the cupboard.

Wonderful property, better than described

This was the perfect property for our week-long Lake Shasta/Redding area stay. The yard was perfect for our two dogs. The home is nicely updated, and the main bedroom mattress was great; it was not too firm or soft. The home is between two dental businesses, and there were never any issues with traffic or noise. It is an easy on/off the freeway. It was perfect for a couple or small family stay. The internet was great, and I had no issues while working during the week. The owner/manager is very responsive, respectful, and pleasant. We will look to stay here again.

Comfortable oasis in a chaotic week

Great place to stay. My mother commented many times on how comfortable and adaptable it was to her needs. She is mostly handicapped after a stroke and cannot sleep lying down, but this place was spacious enough for her to get around easily and had and excellent recliner to help her sleep. We did have to negotiate two shallow steps to enter the house, but I have helped her do that in the past, so it was easy. Everything was high quality and charming.
