About this property

Eco-friendly, Mountain View, Park-like 5 acres, 1 Mi. to town

Alpenglow Manor Guest House is situated on the beautiful and breathtaking mountainside of Mount Shasta, just one mile from the quaint and charming downtown of Mt. Shasta city. The Guest House has stunning views of the mountain from the kitchen, dining room, and living room that will leave you in awe, especially during the alpenglow, when the sun sets and bathes the mountain in brilliant colors of pink, purple and orange. The Guest House sits on the second story above the garage on 5 landscaped acres, which allows for the best opportunity for magnificent views. Your hosts live in the adjacent main house and are readily available for any questions. The secluded property has a gated entry and paved private drive that allows for peace and quiet while you relax and unwind. This is a perfect all-year-round vacation spot that accommodates up to 6 people with 2 bedrooms (each with a queen bed) and 1 bath, and an additional full futon in the living room. Please note: Due to our vacation rental permit we can legally have a maximum of 6 guests stay overnight.

The idyllic location of our Guest House is completely surrounded by nature but also only a 15 minute walk to downtown where you’ll have access to grocery stores, a yoga studio, post office, laundromat, rental equipment shops, gift shops, coffee shops, restaurants and more. We are a 20 minute drive to Mt. Shasta Ski Park, 15 minutes from the Nordic Center, and also conveniently located just up the street from Shastice Park, which hosts outdoor concerts in the summer and an ice skating rink in the winter.

The 1100 square foot Guest House is beautiful, clean and comfortable. The kitchen, dining room and living room have an open floor plan. Garage parking is available for one vehicle, and there is plenty of additional parking on the property for a family motor home or snowmobile trailer. The entryway features a large mudroom for storing skis, boots, etc. Inside your personal and private entrance is a fully equipped kitchen with coffee maker, coffee grinder, blender, microwave, cooking spices, a dishwasher and other essential kitchenware to making cooking a breeze. The dining room has amazing views of the mountain and pond from the craftsman-style dining table that seats 6. The cozy living room boasts a propane stove heater to keep you warm in the winter months, and a comfy couch plus a full futon with optional bedding to accommodate 2 sleepers. There is a 40' HD TV with an Amazon streaming service provided (or you can login with your own), a Blu-ray player that also plays DVDs and CDs, with a collection of movies, books and games to enjoy. Please note that we don't get normal network or cable channels. Free Wi-Fi is available. Both bedrooms offer queen beds with soft organic cotton sheets in summer, and plush luxury flannel sheets in winter. The bathroom is bright with high ceilings and has a tub/shower, organic towels and personal size natural bath soap, lotion, and shampoo compliments of your hosts, in case you forget something. Only eco-friendly cleaning products are used throughout the Guest House.

Our vacation rental is licensed with Siskiyou County so you can book with confidence. We want to keep a clean and allergy free environment for all of our guests, so at this time we do not accept pets or smoking. Walk the 5-acre grounds and pick a picnic spot or snowshoe right out your door, Alpenglow Manor Guest House is the perfect location for your next getaway.

Security Note: We have 5 exterior security cameras. One security camera outside the breezeway entrance (because that's where our mail is most often picked up and dropped off by delivery services) and one facing the barn. We have three additional cameras on our main house, two on the front porch of the main house (one with view of the porch steps, the other with view of the front yard to monitor the sprinklers) and one on our back deck to monitor the sprinklers in the back yard. They will be on during your stay. There are no cameras located inside the guesthouse, garage or breezeway or facing the guest seating area. All security cameras only view some limited outside space.

Incredible natural beauty, privacy and quiet at this gem of a guesthouse. Mt Shasta towers above the five-acre site where native manzanitas and dogwoods, oaks and a koi pond surround the open outdoor spaces. Careful attention paid to healthy cleaning and laundry products, comfortable and well-equipped. Highly recommend!

Tranquil perfection!

We couldn't have been happier! Lovely home on a spectacular property. Each morning I would get up and drink my coffee amongst the tall trees and watch the family of quail foraging, big eared hares hopping and the mama and baby deer. Each day was a new Shasta adventure.... hiking, kayaking, waterfalls! I'm already ready to return! Perfect location! Superb hosts! Thank you!

A Wonderful Place to Stay

My husband and I stayed at Eco-friendly guest house and it was absolutely wonderful. We have stayed at a number of places on Mt. Shasta over the past 20 years and this is by far the best! It is clean, spacious, finely decorated, very comfortable, with amazing views of Mt. Shasta. It is conveniently located yet in a rural setting. Cailin is friendly and helpful and a pleasure to interact with. Next time we plan on having other family members join us (maximum of 6) and it will be spacious for all of us. We plan to make this our new place to stay on our regular visits to Mt. Shasta. Lori

What a wonderful week!

We absolutely loved our week at this property and in Shasta in general. The location of this guesthouse was perfect for us -a mile from town in a quiet neighborhood at the base if Mt. Shasta. The house was spacious, clean, private. The extensive grounds were so pretty -a large pond, grass, gardens, trees. The owners are friendly, responsive, and seemed to take cues from us regarding how much to interact. There's a spacious kitchen and living room with lots of books and movies. I loved that there are fans in each room to circulate the lovely cool air every morning and night (we were there in summer). It just felt so private and restful, with all the amenities we needed. We'll definitely return!

About the host

Hosted by Cailin Henson

Host profile image
I grew up in Mt. Shasta and I'm happy to return here after being away for 14 years. I really enjoy the peace and quiet, the fresh air and delicious crisp mountain water straight from the tap. My husband and I have stayed at numerous vacation rentals around the world and have really enjoyed the experience. I wanted to offer a similar enjoyable experience to others in the hometown that I love.

Why they chose this property

Our property is one of the closest 5-acre parcels to downtown Mt. Shasta, allowing us to be surrounded by nature, but with convenient access to downtown shops and restaurants. The grounds are manicured to give a park-like feeling with two ponds. The property has views of Mt. Shasta, Mt. Eddy, and Black Butte. Deer, bunnies and a variety of birds are all frequent visitors.

What makes this property unique

Bright and sunny living space with magnificent views. Paved private driveway and garage parking.
