Great Spot on Sac River

Wonderful family friendly home

Two families of six stayed here for a week and it was perfect. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep and three full bathrooms. The home has a huge grass lawn to play on and the spa was very nice and clean with a view of the mountains, river and trains. The kitchen has everything you could ever need and even a Keurig! It was a huge blessing that there was plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, dish washer detergent, and trash bags. The train does go by a couple of times a day or night. I heard it the first night but slept through it the rest of the nights. We took all eight of our kids down to the sandy beach at the river which is on the right before the property. Crossing the train tracks was no big deal and the kids loved swimming in the river. Bring life jacket for littles and our bigs just floated around in tube rafts. We brought out boat and jet ski. Plenty of parking room and we used the Antlers boat ramp which was 5 minutes from the house. Tons of coves to play in just across from the launch ramp. Loved this house and will definitely stay again! Highly recommend.

Great getaway by Lake Shasta

Cute place with 5 small bedrooms for our extended family. Close to lake shasta, a really nice spot on the river. The train is close by but not too noisy. Some of the family enjoyed the hot tub. Great accommodations for an extended family or small wedding party.

Peaceful, Enjoyable beautiful in winter

We found the place really beautiful. Peaceful. It is Exactly shown in pictures. Even though it was winter it was green . Expected good snow and it was there. Clean , enough beddings for 12 to 14 people. Huge loooong table for 15 people to dine. Lavish kitchen . Huge TV, Only problem with TV we found we could attach HDMI but audio could not come through TV speakers , I suggest if you want to enjoy movies get your own bluetooth speaker and use it. But TV is huge and very good. Could not login into netflix in smart tv. But these are not negative points at all as there are simple solutions available. Every guest and kids loved it.

Great family get away

This property was a perfect family summer get away. The living spaces are roomy, the sleeping places served 5 different families well. Access to a great swimming beach was nearby. The kids loved the yard and the trains! The property managers were easy to communicate with and very nice. We hope to return

Nice house and location

Our kids enjoyed the lawn outside and the location next to train tracks so they got to see many trains. Great access to river close by and we enjoyed the dip in the river. House is convenient and the host was responsive.

Description of property missing key details I wish I understood before renting this home.

The description states: "If it's a Cosy Getaway with no interruptions you're looking for, we have a covered hot tub and a fire-pit overlooking the Sacramento River, with access to a beautiful swimming hole with a sandy beach." In the year 2020 I do not consider "no interruptions" to mean "no WiFi". Although I appreciate that Craig was quick to explain the property is on "the edge of the wilderness" and should have WiFi next year, I think it is misleading not to clearly state that this home currently has no WiFi. The "swimming hole and sandy beach" are really beautiful. We swam every day. It is a busy spot with locals fishing and swimming. The description however fails to state you need to cross the railroad tracks to reach the beach. As a parent, there are real safety concerns about kids crossing the tracks on their own. Although there is a photo online that shows the train tracks are less than 100' from the home, the description makes no mention that the trains run day and night and the windows in the home rattle and tracks squeal with every train passing. There is photo on line of the formal dining room with a set 16-foot table in a room with white walls. I was shocked when we arrived to see that the dinning room walls were completely covered in graffiti. There are plenty of picture online of the graffiti but it is impossible to tell that this is the same room from the photos.

Fantastic Property!!! Wonderful Vacation!!!

Four families on a family adventure to Lake Shasta and surrounding areas. Plenty of room everyone had their own space. The place is better than the pictures! My 21/2 year old grandson loves trains. He was happy all week, especially when the engineers blew their horns for him as they passed. Craig is quick to reply to inquiries and answered all our pre-arrival questions. Definitely would stay again.
