This home is so cute and homey! Very comfortable! It was perfect for our scrapbooking retreat!

We are three 40-somethings who enjoy an occasional weekend away to scrapbook. We stayed three nights and this house was perfect! Nice and roomy, decorated very nicely with good internet and other amenities. We look forward to coming back again soon!

Comfortable Getaway

We had a great experience staying here and Barb was very helpful and responsive. The house was clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities one could need for a short getaway. The location was just right. Close to the shops and restaurants in Dunsmuir and best of all right across from the river. The train noise could be an issue at night, but earplugs were provided to address that. Overall, we highly recommend staying here.

Great, spacious home with lovely floorplan and a great host

We loved this cute, spacious house right across from the Sacramento River. There was plenty of space for our family and we felt like we were right in the heart of town and nature both. We'd stay here any time and the host had so many welcoming touches from chocolates to earplugs. She went the extra mile!

God's Country Retreat

The home is spacious. It has most of the amenities needed for a great relaxing retreat. My 81 year old father and my brothers enjoyed this property for two days. It has a marvelous front porch to just gaze at the mountains that form the canyon which has the melodic sounds of the Upper Sacramento river yards away. You cant see the river from the porch but you can hear it. The front yard allowed enough room for us to play Corn-Hole. The one bathroom is a challenge. The clawfoot tub/shower is also a challenge. Myself, my Father and brother have some mobility issues. The tub does not have any bars, poles or even a wall to hold on to for safety issues. The front steps also could benefit with a railing to assist getting up on the flat front lawn area. This is all to just inform. The ad does state that the home is not ADA compliant, and I knew that going in. I just feel that the Bathtub situation could be improved without too much expense. Barbara was an excellent communicator and the property is definitely an expensive gem!

Fantastic Home!

We had a wonderful time in Dunsmuir and around Mt Shasta. The time was made even more memorable because of this lovely home. It was perfect. There were so many special touches from the owner, Barbara, we didn’t want to leave. We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Comfortable and Cozy

The location of the property is really nice - just a short walk to the Burger Barn and to go for a lovely walk along the river. It's close to a very popular fishing hole in Dunsmuir on the Sacramento River. The house is tastefully decorated and the beds are comfortable and good for an excellent night's rest. Although the bathroom is adorably decorated and the towels are wonderful, and the clawfoot tub lends to the house's charm, I wasn't excited about getting in and out of the tub for my showers. Let's just say folks over 65 might need to take that into consideration.

Beautiful Spot

We enjoyed our week in Dunsmuir. The house is comfortable, cute and unpretentious, so we felt at home. The layout with connected living room, kitchen, dining and family rooms was perfect for our small group, plenty of space to spread out and still converse. We enjoyed hearing the river across the street and watching the many trains from the porch. Dunsmuir is a walkable small town with lots to offer and fall was a lovely time to visit.

Big house

Plenty of parking in front of the house but it wasn't obvious. You can hear the river from the house (nice) and you can't avoid the trains (not so nice) but they did stop for a few hours in the early morning. Converted attic bedroom was way too hot so we didn't use it. Downstairs bedrooms were very nice. The apples on the tree are good but not that flavorful. We went to see the river before we left.

Wonderful Get away!

The River Spot home was an ideal get away nestled in the middle of the Shasta Trinity National Forest with an unbounded amount of outdoor activities and beautiful sights to see. The property is well managed, easy to find, and gives a wonderful culture experience, and hospitality of Dunsmuir California. With the trains coming and going, the downtown area within walking distance from the property, or for the adventurous, there is always Mt Shasta, Lake Shastina, Castle Crags, and other areas to explore and hike all within a thirty minute drive. We had a wonderful time here, and look forward to returning.

Great location just two blocks away from the station and so close to nice shops and restaurants yet in such a perfect spot to enjoy the landscape and take walks along the river, hikes to the falls, and day outings to amazing local destinations.

Dunsmuir

Loved everything about this rental, location is very central, very roomy, very clean, had all the amenities one would need. Thought that the kitchen could use some pyrex pans, a few more cooking utensils. Only thing I would really like to see done is the tub, it's not conducive to a bigger guy as myself, felt rather cramped because if how the shower curtain works

Trip of a Lifetime!

We absolutely enjoyed our vacation and the home just added to the perfection. Everything from the dishware to the claw foot tub, the laundry facilities...everything was great. Barb was so wonderful, and she answered everyone of my ridiculous text!! I will admit that the train basically right in the front yard made me nervous with my two year old. If we stay here again, I would like to see a lock on the front door that is not reachable by small children, and one on the back slider that is more secure. Aside from that, I can't rave enough about the whole experience. Thank you for everything!!!!!!

Perfect!

The home was magazine worthy - absolutely beautiful. Everything was so clean and new, we thought we were the first to ever stay there. The home is so roomy and comfortable, and the attention to detail was amazing. We were visiting my husbands hometown and when family and friends saw this house they couldn't believe how beautiful it was - and said they would be renting it for other visiting family. We will definitely be staying there again! I highly recommend this gorgeous home!

A "fabulous, luxurious, and relaxing " experience in Dunsmuir

I grew up in northern California, spending my last highschool years in Dunsmuir. I never would have imagined such a home existed in the small hidden town. The sound of the river welcomed is when she arrived. Past reviews of the location made note of the less than pleasant train near by. Yet this sound of the passing train only during the daylight, immediately brought back my childhood memories. I can only imagine my children will now cherish those same memories. As the conductors honked their horns at the site of their excited faces and bodies jumping up and down waiving at them as they passed by... a wonderful location and even better home. Perfect in every detail.. thank you so much.. we will return😊

Host profile image
Hi There! My name is Barb and I LOVE to travel. My favorite destination is anywhere! I even majored in Hospitality & Tourism. I love to experience new food, trails, and meet new people. This is my first Airbnb and I want it to be a perfect getaway for you. Since this is my first go around at this, feedback and advice on making it better are much appreciated.

Why they chose this property

I LOVE siskiyou county. I have lived here pretty much my whole life and I love all the outdoor activities it has to offer! I feel in love with this house from the moment I saw it. It was built in 1920 and has so much character and natural light. Plus it's only 50 yards to the river!

What makes this property unique

I love being able to hear the river and walk 50 yards down to my favorite fishing spot!
