Great Property.....Great Location

You could spend a month here and never run out of things to do. Plenty of beds for the whole family and directly oncthe river! We did Burney Falls, Mc Cloud Falls (all three levels), Fairey Falls, and Hodge Creek Falls. We also took anamazing tour of Shasta Caverns which included a boat ride across the leg of the lake, a short bus ride up tp the caverns, and a guided tour inside. We did all that in two days!

Great Spot

We were here as a midpoint on a ride from Los Angeles to Seattle. The river was running too high for any luck fly fishing, but it was a great spot and we enjoyed casting none the less.Zero complaints about the cabin or the process.

Perfect River Home

The owner is kind, thorough, and very responsive. The home is very clean and very well maintained. The location is ideal for hanging out swimming (chilly but refreshing!) and fishing in the river which is extremely close. A perfect stay!

A little piece of Paradise!

Perfect for our mini family reunion, Bedrooms were comfy and the loft provided a nice quiet place for reading or relaxing. The kitchen was perfect for us to gather cook and eat, inside or out on the deck. We really enjoyed sitting by the river and watching people fish. Easy walk to town too.

The house was wonderful. It was great to have the river out the back door. The trains running by weren’t too loud. The host was very helpful and great communication when we contacted him. Dunsmuir is a cute little town.

Love This Home Away From Home

We brought our two daughters to spend Thanksgiving in the Mt. Shasta area and since we had stayed here before chose to do so again. The owners are awesome hosts and are very personable. We had a wonderful time each day hiking on the McCloud River and playing in the snow on Shasta. Then return to this beautiful log home to relax and enjoy our time together playing games, watching movies and building memories. Can't wait to return.

Warm and wonderful log cabin overlooking great fly water.

Charming three bedroom log cabin with a large back deck with grill and ample seating. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials. The living room was comfortable and had dish tv and wifi. A spiral staircase led to an additional seating area on the second floor with a 3/4 bathroom and large bedroom. The first floor had two more bedrooms and a full bath. Dunsmuir was a cute, historic town with several small restaurants and stores. We had a great time. Mike Marshall was a super host!

Dunsmuir on the river

The back of the house makes the place. Well, that and the kitchen. Because of rain and snow melt the Sacramento river, about 40 ft from the deck, was spectacular. We loved sitting on the deck early in the AM with our coffee. You have the river right there and a mountain rising up behind it. Nice! We like to cook so the kitchen was a treat. It had EVERYTHING we needed. The gas grill on the deck was new. We have rented 1/2 dzn VRBO's in the states over the years and this was the first time the grill at the rental was one we were comfortable using. In past rentals they were so dirty and nasty there was no way we were going to use them. The grill was a treat. The location is ideal for visiting the many interesting sites from Castle Crags to Mt Shasta to McCloud Falls and beyond. We did wish the inside lighting was brighter at night. We felt it was on the dim side. However, on a sunny day the windows let in a lot of light. We enjoyed our 1 week stay!

Lovely Dunsmuir cabin

This cabin provided everything we needed for a great stay close to national parks we wanted to visit. Mt.Shasta, McCloud Falls, and Lassen Volcanic Park were easy drives for our family of 6: 2 parents, 2 grandparents, 2 children. The cabin met all of our needs, and we loved the proximity to the river. Evenings on the porch were a delight (with bug spray, of course!), and meals were easy in a well-equipped kitchen that even had a dishwasher! Mike was clear with his instructions, answered all my questions, and helped our vacation be everything we wanted. Thank you!

Spacious cabin in the woods

The cabin was more spacious than I thought it would be. It is located right on the river and the fishing hole is no joke. My husband caught 2 fish within 15 minutes of our arrival. The kitchen is spacious and the appliances are new. It is the perfect area to keep 3 teenagers busy being near 2 lakes and the waterfalls near Dunsmuir. We had a great time and would return again.
