Few kitchens are better stocked. Each of the three bedrooms has it's own full bathroom with dual water heaters. There's a hand stamped patio for backyard BBQing and two separate fenced areas for canine companions.

This place is perfect if you are a dog family! A fully fenced yard was so nice to have. The house itself was clean and well maintained. The front porch swing was so relaxing it was hard to start our day after sitting there relaxing with coffee. If you are looking for an affordable, practical vacation rental this is it. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with spices, cookware, and little this likw saran wrap etc. Great grill out back. If you like to cook the stove is amazing!!! The yard is grass back and front, the dogs loved do to laps and chase each other, or just enjoy the elevated view laying on the front porch. It was perfect for a quiet get away. the owners quickly responded to all calls and emails also.

For my Wife's 50th birthday, her Sister, and her Sister's family came down from Washington, and we came up from the Wine Country in California to live, love and laugh. The Rainbow House was exactly what we wanted! Small-town quiet, home-like rooms, comfortable furniture, 2 fenced yards for the dogs, plenty of parking for 3 cars and 2 motorcycle trailers, a full-size washer/dryer and...each bedroom has its own full bathroom!!! And that kitchen...OMG! My Wife's Sister loves to cook; she raved about the well stocked cupboards (there was everything!), the large assortment of spices, with plenty of work area...and that professional quality stove! The large table in the dining room easily held all 6 of us for meals, birthday cake, cards, and lots of family bonding time. Both my Brother-in-Law and I ride street motorcycles, and the places to ride in the area were great! Smooth pavement, little traffic and some nice twisties! We logged many enjoyable miles, and saw some really beautiful scenery! The property owner couldn't have been more accomodating. Even though the house had just undergone some major improvements, and there were a few small details still left to finish up, it was clean, well furnished, fully stocked, and ready for us when we arrived. We will definitely stay at Rainbow House again! It's so much nicer to fall asleep the the sound of crickets and gentle breezes rather than to sirens and the neighbor's swimming pool pump after a good day's riding.

The Rainbow House was exactly what we were looking for in a vacation away from it all. The location was wonderful and served as a great base camp for the Shasta area. We toured the dam, Shasta Caverns, and Castle Crags. The McCloud area was rich in history and nature. Thank you Mimi for sharing your house with us!

Our family spent 10 days in the McCloud area. We fished, biked, hiked, swam, and RELAXED! Our homebase for our trip was the Shasta Rainbow House. The house was well appointed with comfortable beds, nice landscaping, a well-stocked kitchen (the waffle iron was THE BEST!), books, DVDs, games, comfy chairs, and lawn/patio funiture that beckoned us to nap and read outside. Even our dog felt right at home:-). I would highly recommend this comfortable home to individuals, couples and families who are looking for a place to step back in time with all of the creature comforts of present day.

We enjoyed staying at the Rainbow House, and found Mimi(the owner) to be very easy to deal with. The kitchen was wonderful - nice stove and good cooking utensils - so that we decided to make dinner several times for family and friends who were also staying in the area. Usually rental homes/condos have very cheap & limited cooking utensils and dishes, but that wasn't the case here, so it was easy to prepare some nice big meals. We also liked the heater, which gave off nice, clean heat -- good for someone with allergies, and resulting in a nice-smelling house (unlike some with older - often dirty - air ducts). The bathrooms were also very up-to-date and clean, and it was nice to have 1 for each bedroom! We would stay at the Rainbow House again.

My family stayed in Rainbow house for a ski weekend and it was delightful. Many rental ads say well stocked kitchen but this one truly is. All the bedrooms are comfortable and having three baths after a day on the mountain is heaven. It was delightful to have our dogs join us and they loved all the snow.

We stayed at the Shasta Rainbow House for Thanksgiving. It was a great place to celebrate with the cozy woodstove and the wonderful kitchen. The kitchen was well-stocked and the awesome stove/oven even had warming lights to keep our food warm! The fenced yard was great for our dogs so we didn't have to go out with them every time they needed out. The house was very clean and comfortable with adequate seating in the living room, comfy beds, videos, and board games to play. The view of Mt. Shasta right out the door of the house was unbelievable and beautiful! We even cut down our Christmas tree and found 3 beautiful trees in an hour not too far from town! Mimi was very helpful and wonderful to work with during the rental process. I highly recommend this rental - we will be back!!

Rainbow House is great! Very cozy home with all the amenities you need for comfort, yet feels like a chalet! We particularly appreciate the well stocked kitchen and the two water heaters that allow our family to shower after a long day hiking in the forest! Mimi and those she has helping her do a wonderful job of keeping the home lovingly maintained! Wonderful for pet owners as well! The front yard if great for al fresco dinners in the spring/summer with a beautiful view of Mt. Shasta.

We love staying in McCloud at the Shasta Rainbow House. This clean and well cared for home is located on a quiet street with ample parking; it is stocked with quality items such as matching china & crystal, everything a guest could need. All three bedrooms have a private bath with nicely appointed linens and plenty of extra blankets available. A BBQ is clean and ready for use, and the six burners, double oven commercial stove is a cooks dream. In the front yard under the cool shade of the cedar trees you can swing on the porch and view the lenticular clouds on Mt.Shasta. It is a pleasure to open the front door, sit on the comfortable furniture and enjoy the peace and quiet of a mountain retreat. This is our fourth stay at the delightful Shasta Rainbow house in McCloud. We will return again!
