About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

River Run, Near Mossbrae Falls trail & River access. A fisherman's favorite.

This cabin is absolutely perfect for a weekend getaway, girls retreat or a restful weekend! Charming front porch, spacious and updated amenities/decor throughout, well equipped kitchen for meals and best of all, very close to the Sacramento River. Hike to Mossbrae Falls, visit the Dunsmuir Botanical Gardens and check out the Dunsmuir Brewery! Great restaurants.

This cabin is continually updated for your convenience. The bathroom was remodeled in the Fall of 2017, the kitchen/dining area was partially updated in the Fall of 2016. The two bedrooms with comfortable beds and large living room area, all have inviting décor. The cabin includes an outside private patio for morning coffee, or to just listen to the birds during the warm season, and a barbecue for your use. For those snowy winter evenings a wood fireplace in the living room creates a cozy atmosphere. Come visit to see what’s new, and this cabin will delight all who need a little quiet time and peaceful tranquility.


Summer sports include world class fishing in the Sacramento and McCloud rivers, water sports in the numerous lakes in the area, and fantastic hiking, including the Castle Crags. Winter sports include the Mount Shasta Ski Park which is about a 30 minute drive from the cabin. Cross country skiing is also close to the ski park, along with the always fun Snowman's Hill.

Come to visit our cabin to feel the beauty and wonder of the canyon and river.

You will hear the train as it winds it's way up the canyon. Bring ear plugs if you are sensitive at night.

Loved it!
We came from the north to meet friends from the south for a fishing trip. And the cottage was clean, neat and comfortable. The kitchen had amenities like spices and zip lock bags and dish soap which was really appreciated. Yes, the railroad is nearby, but it really didn't disrupt our visit or sleep. We hope to return for another visit!

Lovely, quaint little cabin
Although this cabin is close to the tracks and river, and the train is fairly loud, we didn't mind. It's actually my toddlers favorite part. The cabin was cute but small, very clean, and has all the utensils you need to cook. Its a bit too tight if you need to bring a play pen for a toddler to sleep, so be aware, but otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great Location, close to Shasta and day hikes.
Central, family friendly and charming, very cozy cabin. I read about the train, but it really didn't bother us at all. The owner was helpful and provided me a list of family friendly hikes. We would definitely stay there again.

Very relaxing and comfortable
The beds were probably the best, it is hard to find a place where you sleep well. The trains did go through often, but did not bother us one bit, love the sound of trains. Beautiful all around, kitchen had everything we needed and enjoyed sitting in the living room next to the fire. I would definitely come back!

Delightful and homey
My partner and I stumbled upon Dunsmuir a few years back when looking to celebrate an anniversary. We instantly fell in love with the area. This cabin was the cherry on top of a return trip. The fire was so cozy. The living space had games and books and just felt so welcoming. We didn't want to leave. Our host was amazing and communicated everything we needed. We were already discussing coming back there in the future after day one.

Our family loved staying in this little cabin in the woods. Close to downtown but feels very removed- in a good way. The kids loved the train nearby. The beds were comfortable and the cabin was clean. We really enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful retreat in the woods
This little house was absolutely darling! It was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with pots & pans and all of the essentials. Especially enjoyed the lovely front porch-- a great place to have morning coffee and listen to the birds. It was a 2 minute walk to the river which had some nice swimming holes. I highly recommend this cabin and hope to return again in the future.

The location was amazing! A drive to Redding or to Weed to stock up ain't far. Yaks is right down the street, don't miss that stop. The cabin was secluded and has beautiful scenery. And if you're down for a 20-minute hike, up the railroad tracks got you two beautiful waterfalls to dip right in.

Nice Cabin in the Woods
This cabin is a nice choice for the Shasta area. Close to both Dunsmuir and Mt Shasta towns. Easy access to I-5 to reach all nearby adventures. Clean property and nice to have a fully stocked kitchen and washer/dryer on site. Trains do pass just down the street, we really didn’t notice them while sleeping as the bedrooms are on the other side of the house, but they are noticeable from the living room, etc.

Cabin was clean on the inside, just needed a bit TLC. Light above the stove was out, bathroom nightlight was out and the outside f the cabin was unkept. After we swept and cleaned up the front/back it was the perfect setting. Even with the minor glitches we would absolutely go back.
