McCloud, California
Our home offers a unique experience staying in a classic updated mill house. The family who lived in this house for over 25 years made homemade quilts and had a passion for Japanese architecture. The home has plenty of spaces, a pond surrounded with bamboo trees and Japanese maples. Bringing a variety of birds to watch from the porch. The upstairs also has a deep soaking tub which is perfect after a long day of exploring.
The space
The house is decorated with a flare of vintage and modern home furnishings to incorporate new and old. The home has a upstairs balcony and a downstairs porch to enjoy during the summer months. Complete bathrooms on both levels. Upstairs is a large area with a king bed and a twin trundle bed. Downstairs has two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and office and the other room has two twin beds. There is a queen sleeper in the living room as well. The home sleeps 10 in total. Kitchen has a dishwasher and is fully stocked with kitchen supplies. It does have a washer/dryer for you to use. The front yard gives you views of Mount Shasta to enjoy with a morning cup of coffee or tea.

This is a charming, rustic house in a small, quiet community. Many touches have updated this older building, making it a comfortable and attractive lodging. Pleasant décor, ample and high-quality mattresses and linens, a reasonably well supplied kitchen, and an excellent information binder were pluses. There were, however, several minuses: The shower in the master bathroom had multiple dials and nozzles and no directions about how to use them, making it unusable until we reached the owner the next day. The 1-person soaking tub looked awesome, but directions to it warned that once filled, no hot water would be available for showers until the water heater refilled. Porch furniture was beyond rustic. The kitchen had no small cutting boards and few knives. The icemaker in the fridge (located just beyond the kitchen) overflowed and when cleared produced no more ice. We reported the smell of propane on our 2nd day. The owners were not local and with no local property manager, this was not investigated until on the 3rd day we reported that the stove and oven no longer worked. We were offered $50 to cover the inconvenience of having to go to restaurants for our remaining cooked meals (1 breakfast + tip for 4 adults was $94). The good intention was appreciated but the offer was underwhelming. Suggestion: Generosity builds loyalty. Hikes to the McCloud Falls and Mt Shasta were spectacular. I hope our input will enable future guests to enjoy these places and this house, too.
We spent five days in the area. This house is exactly what we expected. It has a funky style about it. It was clean and the beds were comfy. All the usual amenities were there. I guess the only recommendation I would have is to have a slightly better stocked drawer of kitchen utensils like spatulas. The view of Mt. Shasta from the front of the house is fantastic.
We loved our stay at the house, we really enjoyed the decorations, it was very comfy and it was a very calm environment which we loved.
