Step outside through the ranch doors where you can sit and enjoy the cute back patio.
Located in a quiet cul-de-sac and nice neighborhood on Alamine Drive, Redding CA. We offer visitors to Redding the opportunity to have your own fully equipped home. It is a seven minute drive to Bethel, and walking using the short cuts takes around 30 minutes. Shops are just down the road too (can use short cut if walking). Close to Trader Joes, shopping mall, food outlets and cafés.

Pet friendly:
We have a gated back yard and are open to you bringing your dog (or two). We would like to know what kind of dog you have and if it is house trained etc. There is a one off fee for your dog.
Please keep dogs off the couches to avoid claw scratches unless you have put down a heavy blanket or their bedding.
Please bring their own bedding, and clean up after them.
No cats allowed.

The Neighborhood:
The neighborhood is tranquil, and at the end of a quiet street which backs onto a reserve.
The location is very central (just off Hilltop), and guests love being able to walk or take a very short car ride to a lot of great things nearby;
Walk your dog in the reserve a stone's throw away
Go for a jog or bike down the river trail to the Sacramento river and iconic Sundial bridge
Get great Thai at Champa Garden
Shop for healthy items at Trader Joes or Sprouts
Get on the highway 5 just up the road to head out to Mt Shasta or Lassen
Drive 7 minutes to Bethel Church.

Getting around:
Being a central location, walking is doable and as mentioned can take up to 30 minutes walking to get to Bethel or 10 minutes to the shops. The public transport system is limited.

Please note - we keep the cleaning cost reasonable and pay our cleaner relative to how many stay in the house using the beds (adults and children). Hence the low base rate, with an added small incremental charge (per person) for groups of more than 2 people. Please honor this by registering number staying so I can keep my cleaner happy!

It was a lovely home. Overall it met all of our needs, but there were some minor hiccups at the beginning that probably were due to the cleaners not communicating some supplies needed to be restocked.

In summary, the house has Coch roaches, the painting on the black wall is noticeably a repair. There were no paper towels in the kitchen. The air filter for the cold air return for the HVAC unit is disgusting; it looks like it hasn't been replaced in a very long time. The host was good and the site is good.

Wonderful place to stay. Extended family weekend getaway to enjoy Shasta Lake. Perfect proximity to the lake, comfortable, & accommodated our group of 8. Fold away beds in the closet were perfect for our younger kids.

Sufficient for our one night stay to rest

We were just passing through so we stayed one night in Redding. For the price it was great! We didn’t really do much since was a short stop. House seemed well stocked and in a good area. Decorations are beautiful. Only minor issues we came across was the grill outside was super tiny and not clean well and there was no grill brush to clean with. Floors were a little dirty our socks were dark after walking on floor. Again minor the sink in the bathroom just doesn’t work well for that space. It was just too big and awkwardly shaped. Water splashed a lot and not really a kid friendly sink. Outside can definitely use some uplifting. It’s the opposite of how the inside is fixed up. Overall was still a good stay for the short time we were there to just pass through.

Not a secure or comfortable stay

I am a bit more critical because I am an Army Vet and in Law Enforcement…My pups is like a fur child to me… so the back sliding door lock is broken the bandage to fix it is a small piece of wood that is not measured correctly to fit in the track so if someone wanted to gain access it was easy to do. The front bedroom window lock is broken I had to find a piece of metal from the garage to secure it. I was not ok leaving my dog alone as the house could not be properly secured. There are no curtains to the screen door and the backyard backs up to an apartment complex to which people can see right in. There are cameras outside the front door and over the garage which is fine but wasn’t disclosed. There is only two pans one small one medium an upgrade would be nice. We left a day and a half early because of the above. Ok the positive the beds are comfortable, usage of the garage to park in was great, the back yard is fully fenced. Would not recommend for a family with children or a large group. I did bring up the back door and was asked “Did you see the piece of wood?”

A casa tem ótima estrutura, bons utensílios domésticos a cozinha é bem equipada. A climatização deixou a desejar pois pela manhã fazia muito calor e a noite muito frio. Tivemos que ajustar várias vezes. O processo de check-in foi diferente, pois ao chegarmos a casa ainda estava sendo finalizada pelas faxineiras. E a comunicação com a anfitriã foi lenta em alguns momentos importantes. No mais havia sugestões de lugares para passear, comer, e fazer turismo. Achei muito bom.

This was just a one-night stopover on our way to a family reunion in Oregon, but it was really pleasant. Google maps took us to a neighboring apartment complex (across the backyard fence from the home) but once we found our way, everything was really nice. Also appreciate the property's dog-friendly policy! We used the BBQ, had a nice dinner, slept well (thanks to the AC, which worked well and quickly), and were on our way. Thanks again!

Hot outside, but cool inside, clean* and well appointed

The house pretty much matched the photos and it was an easy and smooth check-in process and check-out process (even though we were asked to strip beds and start the load, I think this is going a bit far to ask guests to do-- stripping beds, yes, maybe, but at a certain point what is the cleaning fee for?).The kitchen was nice and spacious as was the dining table. Decent cookware and a lot of basic ingredients for cooking provided. Decently clean, we found a few weevils looking for water in the morning in the kitchen, but given how hot it was outside I don't think I could blame them. The hallway bathroom had a weird sink that needed to be cleaned beneath the drain grille. But decent sundries provided. Overall a good stay.

Great place to stay, would stay again

Good neighborhood, house was still being cleaned when we arrived at our arrival time, so had to drive around for an hour. House was nice and clean when they were done. One bathroom had no TP or soap and no extra stock, nor was there dishwasher soap, but we got by.

Redding Stay

We stayed in Redding to visit family. We got in late and noticed that the washer and dryer was full of towels and sheets. This was rather inconvenient since in order to wash our clothes (one of the reasons we rented a VRBO) we had to finish the previous persons laundry. I contacted the owner and she never responded (even days later). The carpet should be replaced as it was completely filthy. This place has potential but has a lot of room for improvement.
