About this property

Ultimate Lassen House! Cedar Hot Tub! Private Trout Stream! 20 Acres of Woods!

Jackalope Acres, our family mountain/forest home, awaits you only 15 minutes from Mt. Lassen National Park in the heart of some the most gorgeous, unspoiled hiking and fishing country in California--or the world! Read our 5 Star Reviews!

Stunning 5-bedroom, 4-bath log house on 20 acres of forest and meadowland, in mountains near Mt. Lassen National Park--and multiple other amazing destinations.

The property is set at 4200 feet elevation with nearly a half mile of historic North Battle Creek running through the backyard, restored to sylvan condition and populated by brown and rainbow trout, some up to one pound.

Jackalope Acres isn't just a place to stay--it's a place to create memories! A family resort! Or a couples get away! With amenities available nowhere else in the area.

Our custom Alaskan cedar hot tub, sunken into the large wrap around deck, is the perfect place to start the day watching the song birds and hummingbirds at the feeders or end it with a cocktail or a glass of wine. We also have a large sunken firepit perfect for the cool evening weather.

North Battle Creek is an incredible fishing experience with curves, riffles, deep pools and a substantial trout population. Catch and release. Barbless hooks! Try a large green woolie bugger or match the hatch when the insects are coming up in the warm weather.

Jackalope Acres has extensive trails throughout the grounds for walking, (and in winter) snow shoeing, or cross country skiing. There are multiple evergreen species, black oak, plus meadows with native grasses and flowers.

You'll see deer, foxes, dove, quail, blue heron, hawks, and even wild turkeys. Bring a basket and enjoy a picnic at the tables by creek.

Use our canoe or our kayaks at no additional charge on nearby Lake McCumber, also known for it's bald eagles, and osprey. Fishing isn't the reason to go there, but if you do want to try go the area to try is the only deep part of the lake in front of the dam.

Play croquet, badminton ,or volley ball on the grass lawn. Throw horseshoes in the firepit. Or throw the footballs, frisbees, or play catch with our balls and gloves. We have all those for you. One man's and one woman's mountain bike--and miles of roads. World class indoor outdoor ping pong table!

In winter, we have 4 sets of snow shoes for use at the acres or for Mt Lassen Park. There is a sledding hill on the property kids love. Or take our sleds up to Eskimo Hill where the locals go! Or just watch the leaves and the snow fall from the hot tub! In addition, we are 90 minutes from Mt. Shasta winter downhill skiing and snowboarding!

We love dogs and are willing to accommodate them. There is an additional $100 fee per dog as well as some doggie house rules. If you decide to book that is all explained in the rental agreement. NO EXCEPTIONS on the dog rates!

Bedrooms include two master suites, one in main house and the second in a gorgeous open loft, each with individual attached baths. Main house has 2 additional upstairs bedrooms (one with additional loft bed) and shared bath. Downstairs bedroom has its own hall bath. Perfect for 5 individuals or 5 couples, but with additional futon sofas in master suites, the house can sleep 16.

Gorgeous, eclectic interior lighting and furnishings. Original art and photography throughout house.

Cook gourmet meals in our fully equipped kitchen with quartz counter tops and state-of-the-art appliances. Six-burner cast iron gas stove, conventional, convection and microwave ovens, Cusinart, blender, coffee maker, ice cream maker, and extra refrigerator and freezer in garage. We provide the spices, condiments, napkins, paper towels, etc!

Entertain in the open living room/dining area with state of art iphone and laptop compatible media stereo. Relax in the separate sitting area in front of the Vermont Castings fireplace. Spin the fireplace sofa around to create seating area for a larger group.
In summer, bring the outdoors in: living and dining area also open to deck through 2 sets of sliding doors, with outdoor dining tables and lounge chairs. Cook on the propane grill with a gorgeous custom made prep table.

There is a sunken firepit close to the house for evening camp fires, marshmallows and smores!

Enjoy your favorite sports events in the media room with 50' plasma flat screen, satellite TV package, including TennisChannel, Bose surround sound, Blue Ray DVD, game table and bar.
Wireless Internet throughout the house.

Fully automatic backup generator power for entire house and all appliances. Laundry room. Caretaker and cleaning service is available in the neighborhood.

This incredible, one of a kind estate is only 15 minutes from Mt. Lassen National Volcanic Park, an untrafficked jewel for both winter and summer.

Jackalope Acres is 11 miles from Shingletown, and 35 miles from Downtown Redding. It's 240 miles northeast San Francisco--a four hour drive--and only 35 minutes from Redding airport. Special, spectacular backroads driving directions available!

Jackolope Acres is also only 30 miles from world famous trout fishery Hat Creek.

Dozens of other world class rivers, streams, lakes, and state parks are all within 1 hour or less. World class private fishing booking are available through Fly Shop in Redding.

The house is also only 1/2 hour from the Manton Valley winery district with small wineries, a wide range of varietals and friendly, vintner staffed tasting rooms.

Great local burgers and a good deli are also available nearby.

The area is unspoiled, uncrowded, and free from the traffic and people jams of so many other California “outdoor” destinations such as Yosemite or Lake Tahoe.

Sun Oaks Racquet Club which is 35 minutes away allows day passes for tennis, swimming, and/or to use their complete fitness facility. More detailed, custom activity suggestions in owner created guidebook at house.

Truly a place to get away, relax, explore, and entertain. Great in all four seasons. Warm summer temperatures with cool nights and gorgeous, moderate winter snows.

Wonderful property!

Three generations stayed over a long weekend at this property and had a wonderful time! The owner and property managers were very accessible. There was plenty of space inside the home for everyone. Our kids fished in the stream, made s'mores in the fire pit, and just ran around the grounds exploring. The kitchen is exceptionally well stocked. We will definitely keep this property in mind for future travels! Thank you, Jon, for opening your home to us so we could spend time making memories.

Wonderful New Years cozy stay for 10 people

My sister and I brought our husbands and 6 teenagers (ages 16-20) for a wonderful stay at this gorgeous house. Our kids were very impressed at the size and amenities, and my sister and I enjoyed the cozy ease of entertaining. There were some issues with the heating which the owners took care of quickly. This is a very well appointed house - we hope to return!

Wonderful House

This is a great house with a wonderful (freezing) creek on the property. The nearby lake is a little murky so we drove over to lake Manzanita in Lassen Park a couple of times to go swimming and walk around the lake. It's a 25 minute drive.

Amazing private tranquil forested property!

If we could give this property 10 stars we would. What an amazing, private, peaceful, serene location! Our family of 9, including 4 year old and 18 year old granddaughters and 3 dogs spent 8 days here. We relaxed, took jacuzzi’s every night, played volleyball, cooked and fished right in the backyard. Son caught several 2 LB rainbow trout! The house included every possible amenity and the weather was in the mid 80’s, so perfect for August. Also, perfect separation of space for 4 couples. It is remote and quiet with no traffic anywhere, but so close to Mt. Lassen, hiking, boating, etc. Owner and host were awesome to deal with. Thanks again, we will be back!!!

Amazing well stocked property, this place has it all!

The property lived up to the owners promises. The unit was very well stocked with all the cooking supplies, condiments, spices etc. you could need. Along with a six burner stove and dual ovens, the property features a new weber gas grill we made good use of. They also have a fabulous hot tub, fire pit and game room. We enjoyed all of the amenities. The house itself is spacious and the property beautiful. We loved walking the dogs down to the creek and there was plenty of yard space for my daughter to practice volleyball. All told this is a wonderful getaway property for family and friends that lives up and exceeds expectations!

Amazing retreat!

We loved our time at Jackalope Acres! We were especially impressed and grateful for the attention paid to details that made our visit especially fun. There is so much to do, Kayaking, Snow activities (when there is snow around), exploring the 20 acre property, fishing etc. We had actually planned to visit places around the cabin. But after arriving there, we pretty much decided to spend most of the time at the property.

4 Generations Family Vacation

Jackalope Acres was a perfect place for our family ranging from 3 years to 85 years! There’s lots of room to spread out and plenty to do. The kids & adults loved the snow hill right on the property for sledding, roasting marshmallows at the outdoor fire pit, warming up in the hot tub, and playing lots of games. We explored the property with the beautiful creek running through and we’re delighted with special surprises like homemade teepees and special sitting areas. The owner & manager were great to work with and very attentive. Definitely a 5 star experience!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are urban San Franciscans who always dreamed of having a property where we could get back to nature. We grew up fishing, hiking and exploring, and we can truly say we have found the perfect escape from our busy life in the city. It is a great pleasure to share our home with friends, family and guests.

Why they chose this property

Shingletown is a quaint community, just a few miles from Lassen National Park and surrounded by pristine lakes, streams and abundant hiking. We fell in love with the property's 20 acres which are home to deer, jack rabbits and countless species of birds. Even in summer, Shingletown is never crowded. It feels remote, but it is only 45 minutes away from the town of Redding which has all the resources you might want and a great historic steakhouse named Jack's.

What makes this property unique

Looking at the skies from the backyard, you will be amazed to see so many stars!!!!
