Castle house is the spot to stay! I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to stay here. James was so fair with his pricing and it literally had everything you needed and more:) But what really resonated with me is the sense of peace that really pours through his house and property. Watching the wildlife come to the patio, seeing the backdrop of the Mount Shasta, and feeling the sunshine cascade through the trees. Just an amazing adventure! Thank you James:)

We enjoyed our stay. The location is nice and it was quiet as it is close to other homes. The beds were not that comfortable and the pull out was broken. One guest had to sleep sideways for 3 nights. Host didn’t answer to remedy this situation. We needed a hair dryer which the host messaged that one would be there and we did not find one. I asked ahead of stay and during stay in which we never got an answer. It was well priced, safe and was OK.

I'm not sure where the hair dryer went from the sink, but there was one behind the top of the mirror that was sticking up. I'm not sure what happened with the sofa pullout but I will see what the issue was. I'll check with my housekeeper to see what happened to the second hairdryer!?

About the host

Host profile image
I live in Redding but my housekeeper is in Siskiyou County. I renovated this house a few years ago and love the area.

Why they chose this property

The trees on the property are quite lovely and the neighborhood is quiet.

What makes this property unique

It is a rustic house with a wood stove which provides plenty of heat in the winter. There are also baseboard heaters in the bedrooms. Pets are welcome and there is a fenced back yard. If you enjoy cooking your own meals, the kitchen is complete with stainless steel appliances.
