About this property

Picturesque Getaway on the Sacramento River - Perfect for Groups and Families

Welcome to your home away from home at The Sacramento River House.

A private riverfront vacation rental nestled right in the middle of the Shasta Cascade wonderland.

THE HOME
The Sacramento River House is a private riverfront getaway, ideal for families and large groups. The home is completely furnished with a fully stocked kitchen, and is comfortable and airy with a large back patio, two sunlit side yards, and is pet friendly.

The 2,100 sq. ft. home features, 3 bedrooms (1 King bed, 1 Cal-King bed, 2 bunk beds), 2 bathrooms (2 showers, 1 relaxing sunken tub), and comfortably sleeps up to 8 people.

Enjoy riverfront views on the back patio, perfect for barbecuing and entertaining. Cozy up to the fire-pit and enjoy the sunset, practice your swing on the driving range, or relax in our spacious family room, complete with a wood stove for cooler months.

THE PROPERTY
Nestled in the middle of the Shasta Cascade Wonderland, a 1000-foot private driveway leads you to onto the 14-acre property with the main home and barn. Take a walk to the field behind the home to enjoy over 400 ft. premier Sacramento River access and views, along with your own private boat dock. Continue exploring the sprawling property and you'll find towering valley oaks and black locusts planted by the first settlers over 150 years ago.

A great jumping-off point for the many outdoor experiences that Shasta Cascade Wonderland has to offer, the property is ideally located one mile from Interstate 5 and the Redding Municipal Airport, 20 minutes from Lake Shasta and Whiskeytown Lake, and one hour from the Mt. Shasta Ski/Board Park.

Stay on the property and enjoy boating, fishing, a driving range, and other outdoor activities right in your own backyard.

Just down the road, enjoy fresh produce and local cuts of meat at Kent's Meat and Grocery, a family-owned grocery and sundries store with an on-site butcher and fabulous deli, fresh produce, and the best meats, wine, and spirits in town.

THE BARN
A classic red barn that comes with a full kitchen, upstairs loft, bathroom, stereo system, heating and air, and a ping-pong table.

Our 3rd stay and as fabulous as the 1st time

We all enjoyed our 3rd stay here. With sprawling space on the front and backyards, kids and our furry friends had a blast. We discovered the cherry plum tree and those were amazingly sweet in September.

Amazing location and wonderful home stay!

This was such a wonderful home to stay at! First off the location on the river is amazing. The property owner has lots of things to keep the teens busy and there is plenty of space. The home had plenty of amenities already there and it made for a very “at home” feel. We would definitely stay here again.

Shasta trip

We had a great time staying at the property. We made this our hub to travel to all places around like Shasta caves, sundial bridge, Lassen national park, mccloud falls etc. It is 10 mints to Redding downtown. The barn was amazing for kids and adults to wind down and play. Overall a great stay. Highly recommended

peaceful beautiful and charming!

It’s our favorite place to stay when we visit Redding. Morning coffee on the back porch watching wildlife. Late night ping pong games in the barn. Walks to the river to skip rocks. It’s peaceful, beautiful, and charming. My whole family loves it and we can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful property & host

We had a wonderful family vacation at the property. Scott met us when we arrived to give us a tour. We especially enjoyed hearing the history of the property and the area. Scott gave us great recommendations of things to do and where to go for good eats. The house is charming and well appointed. It was a great place to just stay and hang out. Lots to do with the barn, piano, and short walk to the river. Everyone in the family, teens and adults, want to return. Thanks again for a great experience!

We LOVED this property. So much to do!

We can't wait to visit again. The property was great and house is charming. The patio and the fire pit were a big hit with our family. We enjoyed walks and adventuring down to the river as the house is right on the water. This was all as pictured and we fully enjoyed every corner and activity.

Relaxing and refreshing family vacation

We enjoyed morning coffee on the back porch watching wild turkeys, deer, hawks and hummingbirds in the back field. In the evenings we enjoyed sitting on the dock watching the river pass by. And of course my daughters loved playing ping pong at night in the barn. This was a perfect place for a relaxing and refreshing family vacation.

Wonderful Home and Relaxing Atmosphere!

The Sacramento River House had plenty of room for our large family group. Beautiful property with tons of outdoor space. Kids had a blast playing horseshoes and hitting golf balls. Will definitely be wanting to stay here again on our next visit! Thank you so much Scott for the hospitality.

Serenity!

Scott was very accommodating and very quick to respond to any questions. He was a pleasure to meet and show us the little quirks of the property which was extremely helpful. The space was clean and had all of the necessities for a few night stay. The property was expansive with a cool barn , river access and tons of space for the fur baby to roam! Would definitely recommend.

Best venue around

If youre looking for a relaxing property where you can cook but are also located close enough to restaurants, this is your place. If youre looking for a location close to the freeway yet also has a country feel, this is your place. If youre looking for a home-away-from-home, look no further. You've found your place! This is the best venue I've ever stayed at and will return for future stays. The kitchen is stocked with all the dinnerware and utensils a person could need and the cupboards contain spices, oils, coffee, and other dry goods to make the space convenient. There is a full size regrigerator which allows one to store brought in goodies. The bbq is a fun addition and works great! The groubds are clean and there is ample room for people to feel free. The view of the river is wonderful.

Worked out great for us, we'd stay there again.

Other than a glitch or two getting in and turning off the alarm, everything went really well and the property was as described. It was 118 degrees the weekend we were there, so the most important piece of equipment was the air conditioner and it worked great! The house was clean and well equipped. We didn't use any of the TVs etc. so I can't speak to those, but the BBQ worked great and the kitchen had everything that we needed. We were there to celebrate my mother's 90th birthday, she lives at the California Veterans' Home witch is only about 2 miles away, so the location was perfect. We'd stay there again.

Family Fun

We had a family group with grandparents, parents and kids ranging from 13 to under 2 years. We were able to take advantage of a lot of what the place had to offer. From the piano to the pool table and ping pong we did a lot of back and forth between the house, playing outside and the barn. I recommend making sure to get the checkin orientation. We were traveling remotely and did not get the email to meet the property manager so I feel that we missed out on some good information. We will not make that mistake again. Overall the stay was comfortable and everyone enjoyed themselves. We would consider another stay. 🙂
