Incredible

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The space was perfect for 9 (two didn't come, were sick). It was just off the road but felt like you were far away from everything! The only thing we wished we would have had was a gas fire pit to sit around in the evening so we could enjoy the evenings outside. I will bring my team back next year!

Family getaway for skiing

Loved that it’s a bit higher than Mt. Shasta City. So it snowed the whole time we were there while raining in Mt. Shasta City. House was very well plowed with space for parking. Loved the wood stove. Small heating units in each bedroom kept it cozy.

Summer Mountain Getaway

Family reunion went well. The house was easy to find, the place was as cute as advertised. Some communications with the owner weren't received until we were en route, but nothing major. Some quirks to the house, couple kitchen cabinet drawers to stay away from, and a couple windows require finesse. Overall, a wonderful experience and close to so many great hiking spots.

Great Winter Vacation

Three families with kids ranging from 5 to 10 stayed for a week and had a blast. Quick access to Mt Shasta Ski Park and great sledding in the backyard. We will definitely be staying here again. All the kids slept in the downstairs room and had a great time having their own special space. There was fresh snow when we arrived so we needed AWD or chains to get to the house, so come prepared!

Great location and house

The house was perfectly sized for our group of 13. We had 6 teenage boys with us so the basement den was awesome and became their hangout. There were nice touches such as a blazing fire in the fireplace when we walked in! It was very conveniently close to the ski park and to town. We would definitely come here again for future ski trips. For a house that sleeps 16 though, I felt that there could be a few more utensils. We seemed to run out quickly and the dishwasher wasn't working which meant we had to wash A LOT of dishes.

A little piece of heaven.

We stayed at this house for a week and thoroughly enjoyed it. There were 6 adults and 5 grandsons. There was more than enough room for everyone, and the property was like a winter wonderland. We took the boys out sledding right on.the property and the ski resort was 10 minutes away. There was a lot of snow and the highlight for the 3 younger boys was watching the owner plow the driveway and roads with the dozer. Would like to come visit in the summer as well as there is a lot to explore in this area. Thanks!

PERFECT VACATION HOME FOR A LARGE FAMILY

Dear Ruth, We normally camp around Nevada City every year. This time we wanted to try something new and I am so happy we did. I am very happy I came across your home. The home truly accommodates large groups. The entire family was very impressed with the look and feel of your home. We loved the decor and the privacy. We loved that everyone had a place to hang out, the kids could play outside and explore the very large yard. We were so close to Lake Siskiyou, Castle Lake and Heart Lake. We loved that we could take a short ride to a great day at the lakes and come back home and be able to cook and play board games, watch movies and just sit on the patio and enjoy the summer night stars. Everything worked out beautifully. Your home is very cozy and it made our family vacation and great way to remember in Mt. Shasta. Thank you so much for allowing us to experience Mt. Shasta in a very comfortable and accommodating home. We hope to repeat the experience but this time during winter. Sincerely, The Hernandez Family

Family Celebrations

It is getting harder and harder to get our immediate family of 13 together all in one place - especially as the grandchildren are growing up, and jobs, school and friends are a bigger part of their lives. But the Mountain Chalet was the perfect draw - plenty of room and plenty to do in the area. We were lucky enough to have the most beautiful weather for our long weekend and there was still plenty of snow at the Chalet to ride a sled down the backyard hill and have a snowball fight. The 6 younger grandchildren (ages 11-16) loved the downstairs space while the adults had the four bedrooms upstairs for some peace and quiet. We were celebrating our 50th anniversary and took the opportunity to mark the occasion with a family photo outside amongst the trees. We planned our meals before hand and everyone brought up supplies, but the grocery store in Shasta City was not too far for a quick run for ice cream. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking with plenty of pots, pans, utensils and serving pieces. Two families traveled from the North Bay area and one drove down from Oregon - the location was almost exactly in the middle and made the drive manageable for all of us. We plan to stay at the Mountain Chalet again next year and bring some games to play - that was the only thing missing in this comfy home.

About the host

Hosted by Ruth Altes

Host profile image
We moved to the beautiful and special area here in Mt. Shasta full time about 2 years ago from Sonoma County. We have been travelling to this area for the past 7 years when we purchased the chalet for our use as a vacation home. We knew the area was special and was the place we wanted to raise our two young boys so we built a new house and opened up our wonderful chalet for others to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

This house is situated on the side of the mountain that we love. We love the landscape and the weather on this side of the mountain, it is typically cooler in the summer and we are fortunate to get our fair share of snow. We don't get the wind that the more western side of Mt. Shasta area gets and we typically get the same snow fall that the ski park enjoys at their base. We are not in the city, have few neighbors and have the mountain as our back yard. We ride our quads, snowmobiles, bikes, horses, and even hike right from the property. We are close enough to town and all of the lakes, streams and rivers that we also enjoy all of the water sports and fishing. We remodeled the house when we bought it in 2006, so it has unique features and has a great layout to accommodate many people.

What makes this property unique

Nearby enjoy a beautiful outdoor venue for your wedding or other special event: (weddings, corporate retreats, family reunion, BBQ, Birthday Parties, Spiritual Retreat, Yoga Retreat, Company parties, etc.) Located only 3 miles from the Chalet with plenty of parking and lots of great amenities to come. A spectacular view of Mt. Shasta along with surrounding mountains. Also available: overnight horse accommodations, access to Public USFS lands directly from the property.
