Lakeside Stone Cottage with Modern Charm
- Minimum stay:3 nights
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:Yes
- Wheel chair accessible:No
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. 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--gas 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!

Remarkable place! Spiritual, Beautifully decorated, Cozy, Tranquil-- Private and the amazing scenery to go with it. My wife and I took walks around the water in the light rain, and rode our Mt. Bikes up all the side roads and looked at beautiful homes- Already planning our next trip to this amazing place. Thank you for an amazing getaway and yet so close to our Redding home.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Lakeside Stone Cottage was a perfect location for my husband and I's 10 year anniversary. We love the Mt. Shasta area and had decided we wanted to spend an entire week there. When looking for house rentals, there is always the concern that the home won't be as described, and turns out to be a big disappointment that ruins your precious time off. Well no need to worry about this listing; it is better than the pictures show and it has a wonderful feel when you are there. The property and location are incredible; although you can't see Shasta from the house, all you have to do is walk a few steps toward the lake and there it is; a magnificent unobstructed view. We took tons of great pictures, and took daily walks around the property and neighborhood. The kitchen was so well equipped and pleasurable to cook in, that I ended up cooking in every night. The master bedroom is really nice with firm memory foam mattresses (in the 2nd bedroom as well). One of the nice features of the home, which adds so much to the great feel of the place, is the huge floor to ceiling windows looking out on the reservoir, and the beautiful tall french doors. We had snow on the ground when we were there, so we had a great time playing with the dogs on the property. I can imagine how nice it would be too, in summer. I highly recommend this property and I wouldn't hesitate to return. There is a reason the listing has received so many excellent reviews! Many thanks to the owners who have built such a nice cottage and make the effort to offer a wonderful, comfortable, dog friendly location for our vacations in Shasta.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. It was the perfect fit for my husband and I as well as our 6 year old twins. Very cozy and secluded. The snow play was wonderful and the views breathtaking. We look forward to returning during the summer time to play in the lake!Recommended for: Age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We loved this place the moment we set foot on the property. The stone exterior is fantasic and the entryway into the house is very inviting. Excellently maintained with beautiful marble countertops, gorgeous wood cabinets and a very modern master bedroom/bath. The yard behind the cottage is lush green lawn with concrete fire pit and sitting area with a gas barbecue. We can hardly wait to stay here again. There were a few minor issues but none worth mentioning. This place is a gem!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing.

We had a fantastic time at the house. The photos don't do complete justice to the house and the location. The house was very cosy and warm. Felt like home. We will definitely visit again. Our poodle loved the outdoors. The view of Mount Shasta from the property is gorgeous. Sylvia was very helpful and accomodating. Many thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us.Recommended for: Age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children.

This place is incredible, especially if you are looking for a private getaway for you and your beloved dogs! Sitting on 6 acres, a private lake, tons of well groomed grass, an outdoor fire pit, this place has it all. Every appliance is top notch including a sub zero refrigerator, granite counter tops, tile floors, temperpedic mattresses, gas stoves, and fancy plates, glasses and silverware. You open the door and the dogs go running for the water. There is a beautiful deck for watching wildlife where a deer came almost right up to us. My daughter loved the frogs that were on the property! Sylvia is wonderful. Easy to interact with, helpful and accommodating. Honestly, I have stayed in many rentals and this one is the nicest, cleanest and sitting just 5 miles off the freeway makes it accessible. It truly is an upscale retreat in the woods with amazing views! We can't wait to go back! You are literally 15 min to the trails on Shasta so it is perfect for the adventurer or the relaxer, family or romantic retreat! WOW! Thank you Sylvia for an incredible stay for my family and our dogs!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing.

We had a marvelous week at this beautifully situated and appointed home. The location is superb for all of the activities around Mt. Shasta. The six acre parcel is beautifully landscaped - complete with little frogs, geese and deer. It is wonderfully private. The beach on the lake is a great spot. The home is comfortable and has all the conveniences one could want.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

My husband, daughters (ages 5 and 2) and I just spent a wonderful four days at this lovely home. It was a wonderful country getaway and we couldn't have asked for more. The house itself was perfectly sized for us and had all the amenities we could ask for - comfy beds, great kitchen to cook in, great spa tub, washer/dryer, wifi - but the location and scenery surrounding were the real highlight. We enjoyed sitting on the deck while our girls played in the yard below while overlooking the pond and loved swimming and canoeing on the pond (bring your own life jackets). Great wildlife sighting with deer, cranes, geese, rabbits, frogs and more, and of course, great views of Mt. Shasta! We did some great local hikes but looked forward to relaxing at the cottage when we returned from our adventures. Sylvia was really responsive and ready to help.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children.

We just got back from one wonderful week at Snowcrest. The pictures on this website do not do justice to this very upscale and comfortable stone cottage. We saw lots of wildlife,and my Weimaraner ,Ava was in doggy heaven. The owner is very helpful and always available.We didn't want to leave,but we have already booked a longer stay for next year. This rental is a must for anyone who enjoys the wilderness but loves to return to luxury and comfort.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Location
Owner info
Year Purchased: 1994
About the owner: We built this home in 1994 after purchasing the property in 1992.
Why the Owner Chose Mount Shasta:
Once you come you will know why this property was the one we would never let go of. He always loved flat land and I always loved views...the minute we walked onto this land, we knew we were staying.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
We designed this home to take full advantage of the views of the lake while minimizing the road. Because this is a small home, we also did not want to waste space with hallways. Both bedrooms are mini-suites at opposite ends of the house. The guest bedroom has its bath just steps from the door. This bath is the main bath for the house.
