Perfect

I could have written this on the second day, absolutely wonderful, peaceful, clean, comforting and beautiful property. They had everything you could possibly want and need both on property and in the area. The creek and trees on the property are breathtaking, it’s close to town and grocery stores. This by far was the best place to spend a vacation. Thank you!!!

Great trip for our family

The cabin was very well kept, and there were lots of fun things to do nearby in the town or on the trail. We had a great time relaxing at the cabin with our family and had really positive interactions with our host. Would stay again!

Wonderful McCloud Experience

We really loved the McCloud cabin! It’s very pretty, homey, well-appointed and in a great, woodsy, location. I think it’s a perfect spot for friends and family to enjoy an extended stay to fish, hike or just explore the area. Communication with our host was prompt and welcoming. Looking forward to coming back, hopefully this fall.

Relaxing & Secluded

Nice property with plenty of space between cabins to get that remote feeling. The creek was full and all the plants were lush. We saw deer both in the morning and evening. It is a forest so not for the faint of heart as there was plenty of bugs around the cabin.

A lovely winter getaway

Everything about this property was great! There was plenty of space for my family to spread out to play games, cook, and watch movies while still feeling together. We really enjoyed the proximity to nature and being able to enjoy the gorgeous views of the meadow and trees through the massive windows. All in all, a great time was had by everyone!

Heaven sent from booking reservation to checking out

The property host was probably one of the best I have worked with. He made us feel so welcome and provided all the information needed for our stay. The home is very clean, nice and welcoming. The views from the were amazing. The home is not only exactly as described but better! Kitchen is well stocked. Home is comfy especially the beds. Easily accommodated our family of 7 adults, 1 child and 1 dog. Cool creek! Loved the wildlife especially the deer. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. Love, love, love this place.

We were lucky to enjoy this amazing property with snow on the ground! The creek was peaceful, with a short trail leading from the meadow. We've stayed at a handful of places around the Mt. Shasta area, and this is right at the top of our list for next time!

A getaway you can’t pass up on

From the decor inside the home to the amount of space on the property this stay had it all. The gorgeous windows allowed you to sit back relax and enjoy the wildlife around. We saw deers everyday to a few jack rabbits roaming about. Thank you for the welcoming feel to your home.

My family and I had a fabulous time relaxing and enjoying down time in this cozy, stocked cabin!

This well-stocked cabin set in a pristine forested area with a creek running on the property was the perfect setting for my family and me to spend the last get away before summer ended! The location made it easy to get to the swimming area for our four year old grandson to enjoy, while afterward a hike around the shore of Castle Lake was a must for all of the family to enjoy! Thank you for your hospitality!

McCloud Home

This is our second time staying at this house and our experience has been nothing but amazing. We are from LA so this house is the perfect get away we need from the busy city life. The family that owns the house is always so welcoming and our communication with them is great. I’m always so thankful to them for opening their home to us. I enjoy that it’s dog friendly our nova girl loves it! We love everything this place has to offer. Can’t wait to be back :)

As the great Arnold would say “ I’ll be back”

I have rented so many homes, northern California, Oregon, Washington, and this just a gift from heaven. The big wonderful windows facing the forest are breathtaking. The only problem is I want to see it every day of the seasons. Anyone that has ever rented a home will find this a pleasure. I hope more renters go to other homes to get ideas. thank you very very much for this wonderful experience.

Awesome McCloud Cabin

We all loved staying here. The cabin had everything: great view of forest on the property, roomy living area and kitchen (kitchen was well-supplied), the bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and clean, wonderful deck with view and BBQ grill, lovely creek for fishing. The host was very friendly, kept in touch via emails, instructions were clear. Other than a few minor details that needed improving (which we communicated to the host, who said he'd fix), it was a perfect stay. Highly recommend.

Beautiful and relaxing property with plenty of space!

We had an amazing stay at this property during a decent sized snow storm. Lots of opportunity for recreation nearby, but our young family had plenty of fun sledding at the property, checking out the creek and playing in the snow. Had everything we needed to be comfortable with a great wood stove and amazing living room with huge windows and views into the forest. No need to leave the property for us, but our quick excursions to McCloud and Shasta were also very fun. Would love to spend more time in the area as it is rich with recreation and local spots. Host was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. Can't wait to return across the seasons, thanks!

BEAUTIFUL CABIN IN A BEAUTIFUL AREA!!

This was a lovely house, too nice to really call a cabin. The living area is open and spacious, the kitchen is roomy and the whole house was spotless. Only a few minutes away from skiing which was really handy. The sulfur smell to the water took a little getting used to, but seemed to dissipate while we were there. Bring your own drinking water. I'd love to stay here again when I hike to the top of Shasta!!

About the host

Hosted by Walter Mathews

Host profile image
We purchased this 2.5 acre lot back in 1973 and spent years camping in the meadow. After the kids got old enough to complain about camping AND could afford to help pay for a mortgage ... we built this wonderful vacation home. Now, we spend winters skiing at Mt. Shasta and summers fishing the McCloud and other area rivers. The town is absolutely wonderful. Don't miss this!

Why they chose this property

Peace and quiet prevail. Just minutes from quaint McCloud, there is plenty to do in this forested wonderland.

What makes this property unique

Squaw Valley creek runs through the property on the other side of the meadow with its own huge fire pit. Big windows and so close to town, golf, biking, fishing, skiing/boarding, swimming, rock climbing, shopping, day tripping, and so much more. The house boasts red pine floors, granite counters, plenty of parking for you and your boat, a spacious deck for entertaining and BBQs, room for horseshoes or Wiffle ball, quiet neighbors, big meadow-view windows, 2 couches for relaxing, Bluetooth stereo, WiFi, satellite TV, extra sleds and saucers … and serenity galore!
