This was a great place to stay, especially for the price in a tourist area! It is very close off I-5, yet secluded and quiet. Self check in is easy and they communicate with you at various points to make everything easy. It was clean, comfortable and had great AC, that was blissfully quiet. Great breakfasts you order the night before and they bring to you in the morning. Convenient access to any extras you need like ice, extra coffee, condiments, etc. Really enjoyed our stay. If you get a chance while there, visit the Shasta Caverns and eat at Huff’s.

The space was clean and very private. My daughter and I enjoyed the robes and slippers provided. The staff was very attentive. They provide breakfast, which they deliver to the room. It is very rustic, and they had a small garden on the property. It is only 1.5 miles from the Shasta Lake Caverns, which we visited. Unfortunately, there aren't any nearby restaurants. Everything was a 10-15 minute drive away. They mentioned a train might pass by, but we didn't hear it from our room, the Grey Squirrel.

This place feels, very much, like some family's cabin renovated to be a B&B--though I never had much personal interaction with the staff other than when they delivered the included breakfast each morning. Everything was pretty much handled by phone/email/text and check in was basically nonexistent: go to your room & you're registered. The property was nice, but it looks like it could benefit from a lot of attention to the landscaping. That said, I enjoyed a little time in the two garden spaces and will admit to finding joy in walking around the property and finding tidbits of sculpture. The main rooms (apparently a family room and dining room at one time), were tastefully furnished in a kitchy/asian-inspired style. Our room, Goldfinch, was just about right for two people with a suitcase each. I imagine it would be a bit small if skis or winter gear were involved. My main purpose in choosing the place was that it was a good hub for all sorts of adventures--from Shasta dam, to the Sacramento River headwaters, to three or four waterfalls, it worked well. Overall? Would wholly recommend if there's not a lot of luggage/equipment involved in your trip.
