. Peaceful Lakeside Home on 6 acres. This is the place you are looking for--once you come, no other rental will do. Hammond pond is a seasonal private lake that no motorized boats are allowed on. PLEASE NOTE the lake starts being drained in early July. It typically takes about 5 weeks to become unswimmable. If the snow melt is high and the ditch is continuing to fill the lake the lake should stay relatively full until 5 weeks after the ditch stops bringing the snow melt. THIS IS STILL AFABULOUS PEACEFUL PLACE. Watch the wild geese raise their young or the deer graze in the meadow.

Our home has a fully stocked Granite kitchen, Tempurpedic mattress in master, and stone fireplace (gas). This place has it all--views, trees, meadows, wildlife, walking trails (dirt road), seasonal lake for kayaking or canoes. Quaint newer home with incredible charm-- BBQ, covered porch.

Hammond pond is a seasonal 70 acre lake that attracts wildlife and local fishermen. Nestled between Mount Shasta and Black Butte to the east and the 'Eddys' to the west, abundant day hike opportunities exist. If you are not up to climbing the 14,000 ft Mount Shasta, the Pacific Crest Trail offers many easier day hikes--one of my favorites is from the top of Stewart Springs road to Deadfall Lakes--an easy, relatively flat 4 mile (one way), spectacularly beautiful hike. The 'Park's Creek' trailhead is about 30 minutes from the house.

Another gem is the McCloud Falls trail--make sure you don't miss the Middle Falls! McCloud is about 15 miles east of Mt Shasta City on Highway 89. The Falls are a few miles east of McCloud at the 'Fowler's' turnoff.

There is also a maze of dirt roads to explore that connect the homes and properties of 'Hammond Ranch'. Besides the Lake, many creeks flow through the Ranch--the Shasta River (just a stream at this point), Dale Creek and Eddy Creek. Following Dale Creek road past the house to Dale Creek, crossing Dale Creek (you have to wade) and then on to Eddy Creek offers a wonderful 8 mile round trip. Hike or mountain bike along a minimally travelled, relatively flat, bumpy dirt road. Wildflowers abound and the road winds along a hillside that offers dramatic views of Mount Shasta and the valley. You may take quads along the roads--but please observe the 15 mph speed limit on the private roads.

Whether you use our home as a base camp or a place to unwind, you will find that you don't want to leave the spell that it casts over you. When I have guests the most common thing I hear in the morning is 'How do you leave this place to go to work ' This is not just a place to stay--it is a destination!

    Lovely little cabin just a few minutes outside of the charming (if tourist oriented) town of Weed, CA. Perfect place to stay if you want something out of the way, with lots of outdoor activities, and just enough nearby convenience to stay relaxed.

    The location of this cottage is very scenic and peaceful. The seasonal lake had dried up by the time of our our late September/early October stay, but we enjoyed watching the birds and other wildlife in the resulting meadow. Everything in the kitchen worked well, and the bed was very comfortable. We would definitely rent again.

    We will definitely return to this charming place. No other houses nearby, and a lake view in the backyard. Saw deer, rabbits and cranes in the backyard in the evenings. Host communication was excellent.

    We loved our stay in this quiet little home. Its large windows help you feel like you are in the pines next to the lake without leaving the comfort of the inside. We came in December and we didn't play outside much but it looks heavenly! Fire pit and access to the little lake is right there. This listing says it can stay 7 people however I think 4 is more reasonable. There is a blow up mattress that you can air up in the master and a hide a bed in the ottoman (but it was very dusty and unclean). My boys slept two on the queen and 3 on the floor. Also the heating is a little weird you need to keep all the room doors open if you don't like it cold while you sleep. The kitchen was well stocked with tools (it took us a bit to find the fridge as it's in the drawers). We enjoyed soaking in the tub and having the laundry/dryer was a lifesaver after camping. Overall we really enjoyed this home.

    Lovely cottage with all amenities, with a beautiful view of (now dry in November) lake, which looks like a golden meadow. Wonderful kitchen, comfy beds, peaceful location with no observable neighbors and sense of quiet and solitude, but only a few minutes to Mt. Shasta. Perfect for 4 adults.

    Really nice house at the lake (reservoir) surrounded by woods. Very peaceful and quiet. The lake was dry in October, but the owners were upfront about it. The view from the bedroom in the morning is beautiful even without the water.

    The remotely located stone cottage is private and quiet with lots of wildlife and hiking trails. The interior is luxuriously furnished with every amenity including comfortable beds and a well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the view from the deck even though the lake is mostly dry this time of year.

    We loved the idyllic beauty of the property and its surrounds. And we loved how thoughtfully constructed the cottage —how in its tasteful shades and intricate stonework and crafted fir cabinets and granite surfaces— it mirrored the beauty of the natural world. Wonderful!
