About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Come and Get your Love! Sleep on a real Waterbed! Only minutes from Mt. Shasta.
This unique vacation home is made for people who love to hike, ski, and explore the outdoors. It is located in the Northern California town of Dunsmuir, California. Only minutes away from Mt. Shasta. This quirky vacation home is near the downtown district and within easy walking distance to local shops and restaurants. We are 420 friendly and provide guests with complimentary a pre-roll upon arrival.
Inside this 100 year old historic home you will find a restored vintage stereo system complete with vinyl records, CD’s and cassettes of classic rock and 90’s era favorites. Around the corner from Hiker’s Haven is a music store selling records and cassette tapes so you can always find even more of your favorite songs.
Enjoy the cocktail table video game console stocked with over 400 classic arcade games like Frogger, Donkey Kong, and Ms. Pac-Man. Play as much as you want for FREE!
In the bedroom you’ll find a modern day queen-sized waveless waterbed with satin sheets and blackout curtains for day sleepers. It has a 4 drawer dresser and large closet for extended stays.
The living room has a large smart tv, a modern wood stove for colder nights, and a pull-out sofa bed with flannel sheets for additional guests. The coffee table surface lifts to accommodate workers and writers who may use a laptop computer. Free WiFi is provided throughout the house and backyard.
The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils and appliances ready to cook your own meals, and comes with a pub style dining table with a pull-down lamp for gatherings with friends to eat and drink, play board games, and construct jigsaw puzzles.
A laundry room has a washer, dryer, and ironing board for your use.
We also provide a full sized massage table and percussive massage machine to massage fellow guests. And we also provide a list of local massage therapists you can book by appointment ready to come to this location.
Outside in the very private backyard is a propane bbq, a dining table, and a staircase which leads to the Main Street. You’ll find a brewery/restaurant, pizza parlor, grocery store, library, and post office within a few minutes walk. The yard also has a clothesline to dry blankets and sleeping bags and is fenced to contain small and medium sized dogs inside. We are pet friendly and love dogs (and cats!).
The residence is across from the Sacramento River and a rail yard. Trains chug along across the river and sometimes stop to add extra train cars. An Amtrak station is only a block away for train traveling friends and guests.
If you enjoy trout fishing we provide 3 ready to go fishing poles, a stocked tackle box, a fishing vest, net, waders and little portable fishing chairs. Dunsmuir is famous for its trout fishing and you can walk or drive to a variety of perfect fishing holes along the river to fish or just relax.
Or if you prefer biking or kayaking we provide 2 mountain bikes for your use and an inflatable 2 person kayak and 2 paddles and life vests. It’s easy to transport this sturdy inflatable kayak in a small car and inflate it on location at the many local lakes nearby with the included pump. We also provide backpacks for hikers to use during their stay at Hiker’s Haven.
Within a 10 mile drive north is beautiful Lake Siskiyou which has swimming, fishing, hiking, kayaking, paddle boats for rent, camping, and an 18 hole golf course. The nearby City of Mt. Shasta has restaurants and mountain and rock climbing opportunities on 14,000 foot tall Mt. Shasta. The Mt. Shasta Ski Park and Nordic Center is only 20 minutes away from Hiker’s Haven and provides downhill skiing/snowboarding and also groomed trails for x-country skiing.
Only 5 miles south down I-5 is Castle Crags State Park with more fishing, swimming, hiking, and wildlife viewing opportunities.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a video-game console. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Haven is the perfect description for our stay. The property was so unique. As it was October, Dena decorated the place with a Halloween theme. Didn't expect this so it was a nice pleasant surprise. Everything was as described. The retro arcade video game was a blast. Didn't have to spend quarters especially if one wasn't good. LOL Dena was a perfect host for our stay. She answered any questions promptly and went the extra mile to provide access to the mountain bikes and provided a warming blanket for the chilly evenings. A great haven to settle in after a day of adventure. 10 stars out of 10.

Our stay here in Dunsmuir was exactly what I had hoped it would be. The little house is great, clean and comfortable with a good energy-feel. We were apprehensive at first about the waterbed (we're in our fifties) - it was firm and comfortable as one should be. Walking distance to eats and arts. Right at the foot of Shasta... who could ask for more. Dena was great, friendly and welcoming. Thank you, great stay. We'll stay here again when we're back to Shasta!

One of the coolest places we’ve stayed in this area and in general. Husband wanted to move in and now doesn’t ever want to stay anywhere else!
Nestled in the far reaching forests below the great Mt. Shasta, Hiker's Haven provides a splendid point of rest for nomad and tourist alike. This stellar abode is furnished with a full kitchen, laundromat and most importantly an excellent sound system. CDs and Vinyl are available for playback, or you can bring your own! Puzzles and local information are also provided for your leisure and curisosity. The owners were attentive and quick to reply. And lest you forget, you are in the heart of beautiful Dunsmuir. A short trip out the backyard and across the street takes you directly to the Dunsmuir Brewing Company. There you can enjoy a fine pint of porter alongside an Elk burger and the mountain's finest hospitality. After lunch you can stroll along historic downtown and share a drink at the intimate Cobra Lily. Or you can uncover hidden goods while shopping at Unexpected Treasures, a lovely thrift located just minutes from all these fine establishments listed. Hikers and waterfall enthusiasts will be pleased to know that some of the most exquisite waterfalls can be located within a few miles of your hiking haven. Of particular note, at the request of the author, is the awe inspiring sight of Mossbrae Falls. After an exciting day you can rest your weary body upon an authentic waterbed back home at Hiker's Haven. Highly recommended.

Good stop
Love the look of the stone building. We just stayed one night on our way to Portland. Had good meal at Dunsmuir Brewery Works which has an outdoor eating space where we could bring our dog. It is an easy walk out the back gate to the brewery. Fold out couch is comfortable for a fold out couch, wasn’t bothered by metal bars like on some. Water bed is more comfortable. Although house is across the street from train station so there is noise from the trains.

room for improvement
We had an okay stay; there were some issues however, that made it less than ideal. The refrigerator seemed to be breaking down— it was very noisy and barely cooled down our perishables. The kitchen had ants and the handsoaps were watered down to the point of being useless. The tub also needed to be scrubbed. We did enjoy a couple of the games and informative hiking books provided. There clearly was an effort to make guests feel comfortable in some areas, but it would have been nice if it was cleaner overall and had a more functional kitchen, especially if you want to cook.

Retro Relaxing Stay!
We loved our stay with Hiker's Haven! It's exactly as described with retro feel, waterbed, record player, and a bit of hipster vibe. I found the Redbone Record and played "Come on get Your Love" on the record player. I loved the charm, and my 16 year old daughter had me playing board games. Truly a fond experience. Thank you!

Comfortable, fun space
The house was comfortable and we enjoyed the video game table and the wide variety of interesting books and music. I wouldn't call the waterbed waveless (we've had 2 waterbeds), and we found this one a bit sloshy. Used the wood stove heater for 2 days but I'm sensitive to smoke so we used the electric heater for the last 2 days. The town of Dunsmuir didn't offer much in the way of food or entertainment. Most of the restaurants we had researched prior to our visit were no longer open for business. We wound up driving to Mt. Shasta everyday for food and entertainment and really enjoyed the food, beer and staff at Pipeline Craft Taps and were able to sit outside with our dog.

Cute and Quirky
Heather and I totally loved staying at the Hikers Haven. Check in was easy and instructions about wifi, recycling/trash, tv streaming, fireplace, ect. were easy to find and understand. The house is decorated with raven, rabbit, and clock themes which we liked. The stereo was top notch and had great sound for the classic rock and 90s grunge albums that were there. It is across the street from an active train yard but it didn't bother us at all. We are planning to visit again in the fall. Thank you Dena and Leslie❤️

Great for those who like old classic board games and arcade games, puzzles, and just want a comfortable place to relax. There is a train that comes through a few times a day very close, which was loud, but was also just another novelty of this property. It was a truly incredible stay and we will be back! :)
