Turning Creek is a custom executive home in the historic community of McCloud, CA, set on 2.3 acres with Squaw Creek running through the property. The western portion is beautifully landscaped with Colorado Blue Spruce, huge lawn, Rhododendrons, and Sun Azaleas. Large decks and patios and built-in lavarock barbecue invites one to the backyard. The bridge from the back yard crosses the creek to the natural woods.
This 2000-foot (approximately) home features the Creek View bedroom with a California King sleigh bed and a sleigh daybed. A window seat looks out to Squaw Creek. Just before the bathroom is a huge walk-in closet. The master bath features a luxurious whirlpool tub.
The Shasta View bedroom contains a queen bed and an extra long twin with a spectacular view of Mt. Shasta, with an attached 1/2 bath. Both the California King and Queen beds feature Tempurpedic mattresses. A Queen airbed is also available.
A large sunken Living Room with mountain views and a wood-burning stove, games, puzzles, a library and cable TV and VCR/DVD players help you enjoy your stay. A fabulous dining room and kitchen (with a 1920's Wedgewood stove, decorative use only) complete the charm of the home. Additionally there is large entry hall with a desk for your laptop, laundry room and two car garage. A full bath is accessible from the hall.
Take a taste of McCloud home with you, be sure to bring empty jugs to fill with the famous McCloud spring water from the tap.
Your stay at our home offers some wonderful options included in the package:
Wine Exchange...
Party must be 21 years of age or above to participate. Bring a bottle of your favorite wine to leave in our cellar, write in our journal why the wine is special to you. Enjoy a bottle from our cellar and complete the journey of the wine in the journal.
Photographs and Fine Art...
The photographs and fine art used to decorate Turning Creek are by local artists.
Paperback Exchange...
A section of our library offers paperback novels we have already enjoyed. Feel free to start a new novel from our library and take it with you to finish at your leisure. If you have one you have finished, feel free to leave it on the shelf.
We also have a library of books to enjoy but not take, including books about the area, fishing musings and children's books, and other eclectic choices.
* Anyone with young children please take note. Squaw Creek is beautiful and shallow but very cold and fast-running. Attendance to small children is imperative. There are flip-locks on the doors leading to the back, please use them and make sure an adult watches them at all times near the creek.
