About this property

Spring Special Charming Cottage Downtown MT Shasta. Licensed

This charming "Craftsman" style cottage is fully renovated and decorated in a mountain theme , conveniently located downtown Mt Shasta City on historic main street. . The cottage is affordable, licensed with the city of Mt Shasta, inspected regularly to be up to code by the city and fully insured to be only a business vacation rental. PERMIT NUMBER: STR-004220. The cottage has never been owner occupied.

We take great pride in this vacation rental and provide top quality maid service. The cottage is cleaned with a bleach solution then finalized with cleaner disinfectant wipes.
The property is free of any personal clutter or personal belongs.

Beautifully decorated in a mountain theme this cottage will keep you comfortable any time of year with central heating and air conditioning -or, you can use the wood burning stove if you prefer during the winter months, (firewood and kindling provided).

Super fast and reliable fiber optic internet. Sony SMART TV 72 INCHES


Street Parking Regulations for Snow Removal:
When snowing , the city does not allow street parking due to snow removal trucks - CARS WILL BE TOWED BY THE CITY IF PARKED ON MAIN ST....PLEASE PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY.
We hire a snow removal company during the winter season to remove snow from the driveway and front walkway. The company prioritizes large businesses first, then supports other locations - so service timing will vary.
If needed, snow shovels are provided on the porch.
Tip: If it snows, its best to park at the beginning of the driveway, so it’s easier to reverse
onto the street that is always snow plowed by the city.

Walk to everything downtown as the cottage is a short walk from where you will find great restaurants, coffee shops, bars, organic markets, boutique shops and spas.

Hop in your car and Lake Siskiyou is only 5 minutes away, a 20 minute drive to Ski Park, or a 50 minute adventure to Ashland, Oregon. Seemingly endless bike routes provide adventure on 2 - wheels while enjoying the fresh mountain air and majestic scenic beauty of snow covered Mt Shasta mountain. Mountain stream or lake fishing is great fun - local licenses are readily available.

Prefer to relax and enjoy the property? Large fenced in front yard and backyard provides both privacy and safety for children and pets - picnic area, BBQ and table allows for fun in the shade or sun with friends and family. The front yard has a nice front porch with two chairs and table to watch the world go bye.

Enjoy this mountain cottage finished with hardwood floors, wood burning stove, modern kitchen and all the amenities to make your stay enjoyable. Sleeping arrangements are made easy with two bedrooms (3 beds including 2 queens, and 1 single bed, all high quality mattress. One of the queen mattress's is a high quality 12 Inch green tea memory foam, 2nd queen mattress is a high quality pillow top. Living room furniture includes 1 Lazyboy recliner and 2 comfortable Lazyboy Leather couches. Sony 72 inch SMART TV and DVD player help provide indoor entertainment. Laundry facilities ( laundry soap not provided ) make it easy to keep pace with vacation clothing needs without leaving home. The cottage has off street parking the entire length of the house double car wide. The off street parking would easily fit a travel trailer and boat along with several cars. Security camera on driveway to monitor snow conditions.

We are PET friendly We ask our guests to not allow pets on furniture or bedding and never leave pet unattended in cottage - guests are required to remove and dispose of pet waste from yards prior to check-out.

A simple guest checklist is provided with instructions on what is required at the end of your stay.

Please check our many reviews, we are the most reviewed property on VRBO. We have had only positive feedback and have received all top stars. We have many return guests and our calendar fills up fast due to the price point, amenities, location and popularity.

We receive multiple inquiries everyday if interested I would not wait. We hope you book the cottage and enjoy all the beauty Mt Shasta has to offer, you will not be disappointed.

Great Getaway to Shasta!

My girlfriends and I had a wonderful stay at the house. It was conveniently located to restaurants and activities. The kitchen was well equipped for our stay too. We ended up ordering food in both nights because it was more fun to hangout at the house than go out. Beds were super comfortable and the fireplace was great. I highly recommend this house.

Another awesome stay

2nd trip to Shasta and stayed in the Whitney Cottage again. Everything is so homey and the cottage has everything you will need for a wonderful and comfortable stay. The host is awesome and is very quick to respond if you have a question. There is a wonderful notebook there with information on anything you might want to do in Shasta. The hiking information is particularly comprehensive. I'll definitely be back.

3rd Stay

We've stayed at this property 3 times now and we keep returning because it's perfect for our small family of four. It's within walking distance of downtown restaurants regardless of weather, it's an easy drive up to the ski resort, it has an open floor plan which makes the small footprint feel larger, and we even used the wood burning stove for the first time to help dry gloves (not on, but near). Beds are a bit soft but that's the only quibble. Kids love the big screen TV and always look forward to just crashing on the couch watching Grizzly and the Lemmings until we make them turn it off and play games at the generous wood table in the dining room.

Shasta Burthday Stay

We met our son and grandchildren at this beautiful cottage situated right in town and near everything. There was ample parking for two trucks and although there was a lot of snow the driveway was plowed as well as a pathway to the front stairs and entrance. The inside was decorated so beautifully, with plenty of space for the 5 of us and two dogs. The cottage had everything we needed for cooking bathing and entertainment. We will book again in the future.

Whitney Cottage Getaway

This lovely cottage was even better than advertised. Warm, cozy, inviting and well appointed. We had never rented a VRBO home before and this was a wonderful experience. The owner has gone above and beyond to provide a lovely home away from home for her guests. We look forward to going back to the Whitney Cottage for another enjoyable getaway. We loved it !!!

Great weekend get away!

The cottage was perfect for a quick get away. The fire stove kept the cottage cozy and warm. It was close to down town for walking and only a short drive Heart Lake for a hike. Everything was so comfortable and inviting - the bed was the best!

Cute and convenient

This little cottage is well designed and supplied for a stay in town. It is within walking distance of most of town and just across the street from the best grocery store! The little areas outside in both front and back were relaxing and inviting.

Great Home in Town

We stayed here with another couple for 4 nights over Labor Day Weekend. The house was well equipped and very comfortable. Beds were nice, kitchen was well stocked, and the outdoor space was lovely. The location is also very convenient - just a block away from a grocery store and a few blocks from the Main Street with shopping and restaurants. Highly recommend!

Great location!

Lisa, the hostess, was absolutely wonderful to work with! The property is located in an ideal location if you are wanting to walk to dinner, shopping, and coffee! We stayed here with our three small kids and packed our scooters to move around downtown. I enjoyed my morning coffee and book on the adorable front porch each morning. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked! The beds, especially the room with one bed was so unbelievably comfortable! To end our trip, my husband lost his wallet, we messaged Lisa and her cleaning crew found it and, through VRBO, called us to schedule a pick up. She was very prompt and quick to respond to any message I sent from the moment we booked. Location was amazing!!

July 4th stay

If you don’t mind a little criticism. It’s like coming to Grandma’s house…cozy with way too much furniture. Too dark inside. Beds were comfortable. Yard was perfect for dog. Great restaurant across the street. Parade was fun to watch and liked the access to downtown. Pedestrians walking by were interesting and some less than desirable.
