Family getaway for skiing

Loved that it’s a bit higher than Mt. Shasta City. So it snowed the whole time we were there while raining in Mt. Shasta City. House was very well plowed with space for parking. Loved the wood stove. Small heating units in each bedroom kept it cozy.

A great house, and huuuuuge

We originally booked for a large group of adults, kids, and pets, but ended up just with 6 adults. I think our larger group would have still been comfortable, but as it turned out we each had our own bedroom. Very spacious house, private, great location, multiple hang-out areas indoors and out, and suited our needs perfectly.

Summer Mountain Getaway

Family reunion went well. The house was easy to find, the place was as cute as advertised. Some communications with the owner weren't received until we were en route, but nothing major. Some quirks to the house, couple kitchen cabinet drawers to stay away from, and a couple windows require finesse. Overall, a wonderful experience and close to so many great hiking spots.

Great Winter Vacation

Three families with kids ranging from 5 to 10 stayed for a week and had a blast. Quick access to Mt Shasta Ski Park and great sledding in the backyard. We will definitely be staying here again. All the kids slept in the downstairs room and had a great time having their own special space. There was fresh snow when we arrived so we needed AWD or chains to get to the house, so come prepared!

Large space with good location

The space was lovely. The only drawback is the lack of AC. It was quite hot and even with all the fans and opening the windows the property did not always cool off very well.

About the host

Hosted by Ruth Altes

Host profile image
We moved to the beautiful and special area here in Mt. Shasta full time about 2 years ago from Sonoma County. We have been travelling to this area for the past 7 years when we purchased the chalet for our use as a vacation home. We knew the area was special and was the place we wanted to raise our two young boys so we built a new house and opened up our wonderful chalet for others to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

This house is situated on the side of the mountain that we love. We love the landscape and the weather on this side of the mountain, it is typically cooler in the summer and we are fortunate to get our fair share of snow. We don't get the wind that the more western side of Mt. Shasta area gets and we typically get the same snow fall that the ski park enjoys at their base. We are not in the city, have few neighbors and have the mountain as our back yard. We ride our quads, snowmobiles, bikes, horses, and even hike right from the property. We are close enough to town and all of the lakes, streams and rivers that we also enjoy all of the water sports and fishing. We remodeled the house when we bought it in 2006, so it has unique features and has a great layout to accommodate many people.

What makes this property unique

Nearby enjoy a beautiful outdoor venue for your wedding or other special event: (weddings, corporate retreats, family reunion, BBQ, Birthday Parties, Spiritual Retreat, Yoga Retreat, Company parties, etc.) Located only 3 miles from the Chalet with plenty of parking and lots of great amenities to come. A spectacular view of Mt. Shasta along with surrounding mountains. Also available: overnight horse accommodations, access to Public USFS lands directly from the property.
