We had a wonderful stay. The home was well equipped and comfortable. The neighborhood was off the main road and quiet. The property was centrally located with short drives to Lassen and Burney falls. Although there were only two of use the place had ample room for a larger family. I highly recommend this property. Hope we can return someday.

This cabin/house was one of the cleanest I have stayed at. The owner was super responsive with any questions. This are is very remote which we wanted but due to snowfall we weren’t able to do all hiking we wanted, so we did have to drive a bit to find things to do. Overall we really enjoyed the stay.

What a wonderful cabin! This place was better than our homes. I came with my daughter, my partner and his daughter, both girls are 11-year old kids, and we couldn't get enough of the cabin. So cozy, stylish and modern, it feels like a home I'd love to have. The temperature control works seamlessly. Great selection of games and DVDs. Perfect location between Burney Falls and Lassen entrance/Manzanita Lake. Communication was easy, please note the PIN is sent in the very first email, so I was a little slow on that, but Ron went above and beyond to help us. He's very kind and generous. We love the north and Shasta and hoping to come back one day.
