Chasing Waterfalls in NorCa

The house is charming and comfortable. It was very neat and clean. We used it as our “base camp” and were able to visit 8 waterfalls on our trip. The host was easy to work with and left clear instructions regarding the house. The house was chocked full of beautiful antiques and cool knick knacks which added to the charm and homey feeling. We would stay here again and will recommend it to our friends.

Cute older home

Overall we had a nice stay at the house. Do be prepared that it is an older home so there are some things that are a little quirky about it. The beds were comfortable and it was clean.

We had a great stay, but the house had no hot water. We all took cold showers and a couple of did not shower as it was just too cold. We didn’t even have warm water to wash the dishes we used.

Beautiful Home with Great Amenities

We stayed for a couple nights, and the host was very easy to communicate with. It was a great spot to meet friends with a nice backyard area and it is a short walk to town. Parking is convenient and views of Mt. Shasta are stunning. I would definitely stay here again next time we make the trip to McCloud!

Most amazing house

The house was amazing. Classic in every way. Every possible utensils available. We really felt at home.We only had one issue, the hot water wasn’t very hot. We were only able to take one shower in lukewarm water. Hot water alone was enough to wash dishes, but the shower was a combo faucet and it was too cold. As we were there for a memorial, we didn’t reach out to ask for assistance- that was my fault.If we could have taken the time to enjoy the rest of the property, the back yard was perfect for sitting out and enjoying the night air. But it was way too cold to do that.Thank you for sharing such a fantastic home with us. We will use the house again!

Quiet comfortable home

This little house is conveniently located about a 4 minute walk from the McCloud Hotel where our meeting was held. We enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood and the quaint decor. The owner was very responsive to all our requests and very easy to work with.

Charming and comfortable

My husband and I enjoyed our annual trip to McCloud and this sweet home. A view of Mt Shasta out back was a nice bonus. The home was stocked with kitchen tools needed to make cooking simple. Close walk to downtown, very peaceful, and the owner was quick to reply to questions and even allowed us to arrive early. Very reasonably priced for offering so many beds and large, homey space. Loved it!

mini vacation in McCloud

This home was very clean and neat. We found it equipped with every thing we could possibly need for our stay. It was just a step out the back door and across the street to our event at the Mercantile. We will be back!

Perfect house for our family

This home was perfect for our stay in McCloud. Plenty of everything for cooking at home and sitting outside at the fire pit was great family time. Walking distance to everything in town.

A nice little visit home

Very nice and cozy place to call home for a few days. Well stocked kitchen (in terms of pots and pans, plates, flatware, etc.) Beautiful, large backyard that we did get any use of because it was winter, but would be lovely in the summer. Thanks!

Peaceful

House is well decorated and cozy. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Surrounding scenery is very beautiful and offers some nice hiking to the falls. We really enjoyed our evenings visiting around the fire in the backyard. A very nice trip.

Comfortable and homey

We spent 3 nights in this beautiful home during a major atmospheric storm. Unfortunately we were not able to do all the outdoor stuff we had planned but luckily we were able to comfortably relax, cook, sleep, play games, watch TV in this very cute house. We loved the decorations and antique furniture. We had a very nice stay.

McCloud memories

Our stay was very nice. The location was perfect. The house was comfortable except at night the bedrooms were warm would have been nice to have fans in the rooms. Also the shower nozzle it would be nice to have had a removable handle. Overall it was a wonderful stay. We enjoyed our time in McCloud.

Fiddlers Rest

This home was exactly what we were looking for when we booked. The home was very spacious and had plenty of room for our group of 5. The backyard was great with the table, chairs, and fire pit. The location was perfect. Only a few minutes walk from the Mercantile, museum, coffee and outdoor shop, and Frosty. I can not stay enough how peaceful this location was. No noise whatsoever. I highly recommend the Simpsons home for your next stay. I will try and book here again for our next trip.

This was a first visit to the Shasta area and a first family vacation together. Overall we were pleased and comfortable with this home , but we also noticed right away that it wasn’t what the pictures led us to believe.

family wedding

the house served our purpose of being close to the McCloud Hotel for a family wedding well. It would have been nice if the rear yard had been cleaned up of the rotting apples, and there needs to be a way to turn off the light string, as it disrupted the views of the stars, and glared into the house all night.

Memorial Day Weekend Fun

Pictures do not do justice to this vacation gem. The house is laid out in the perfect way for a group celebrating (in this case a birthday) and the kitchen lends itself to the cooks engaging in conversation with other guests at the island bar. Many of the furnishings are good quality antiques and the decor is warm and cozy. The clawfoot tub was a real treat and we enjoyed the front porch, luxuriating in the Spring green, verdant growth of trees and flowers all around.

Charming House

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Check-in was clearly communicated and smooth. The water was initially not on due to some city work, but this was clearly communicated to us by the property owner. The property is close to some amazing natural sights. We spent a little time kayaking on Siskiyou Lake in the shadow of Mt. Shasta and visited the headwaters of the Sacramento River. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to spend some time in the Mt. Shasta area. Thank you.

Father-Daughter weekend in McCloud

We loved this house in McCloud. It is so well located close to town, and the house itself is so comfortable and welcoming. The beds were super comfortable, which is hard to find in a rental, and the livingroom and kitchen are great spaces for hanging out. The front porch worked great for our late afternoon happy hours after a day of hiking and exploring. And, there is a clawfoot tub, which was a real treat. Both my Dad and I were sad to leave. We'll definitely be back!! Thanks for taking such great care of this house and making it such a great place to stay for those of us who can only visit!
