Location: Mount Shasta, Shasta Cascade, California, USA (Only 3 Miles Off of I-5 Between Mt Shasta City and Weed)

Accommodations:  House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-7)

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!

  • This was a wonderful retreat for our family of 4. The house was clean, cozy, and tastefully decorated. Our kids LOVED being at the house, unlike many other rental homes we've stayed at. We were amazed at how well stocked the kitchen was! We enjoyed the peaceful surrounding and our kids had so much fun on our hikes around the lake. We were lucky enough to see deer, geese, quails, and a jack rabbit. We've already recommended this house to many of our other friends who are thinking about making a trip to Mt. Shasta area.

  • Secluded, beautiful location. The cottage was nice and cozy, with modern amenities such as a gourmet kitchen, jacuzzi tub, and big TV that made our stay very comfortable. We're looking forward to visiting again!

  • My husband, father in law and Irish Setter had an awesome time at your beautiful home. The use of stone, granite and tile on the fireplace, in the kitchen, bath area and on the exterior of the home is just amazing! What a wonderful place to meditate and contemplate life. We will surely be back!

  • My husband and I rented the house for 10 days. The house itself is lovely - beautifully built with hardwood floors, spectacular picture windows, granite countertops in the kitchen and master bathroom, and a handsome, covered exterior deck overlooking the meadow. The location is quiet and a wonderful spot to view all kinds of wildlife. We also enjoyed hikes in the area including along the McCloud River where we saw river otters, and on Mt. Shasta.

  • Just wanted to stay Thank You Sylvia,and Larry! We had a Wonderful time from 8/1/08-8/3/08 at your Lakeside Stone Cottage! When we arrived we could tell that this place was the right choice. Your cottage was very beautiful from the rooftop to bottom. The Stone Cottage setting was so serene and perfect! We loved seeing all of the deer right at the back of the yard. The little frogs all over out front were so adorable. The spectacular views of Mt.Shasta. All the amenities were well appointed. Our stay at the Lakeside Stone Cottage was very appreciated and memorable. We hope to be back in the very near future. We look forward to seeing your projects like the firepit complete. The firpit sounds like a great addition. My Family would highly recommend anyone reading this to stay at the Stone Cottage you will fall in love with it when you arrive!

  • Well I never had a chance to watch tv on the fantastic flat screen as I was too busy enjoying the deck most of the afternoon and evening. In the mornings it was out on the canoe and just gliding up and down the lake. If there is heaven on earth, than the Rock House is it. I have not had such an amazing time in quite a while. I mentioned the house to other people at the wedding and they were all jealous. I am already trying to figure out a date when I may come back up and stay for 1 week as the weekend just flew by. The home far surpassed my expectations.

  • Absolutely perfect. I was looking for a place for a "Girls Getaway" and found paradise. From the moment we pulled up we knew we had made the right choice. Thank you! The only decisions we had to make were should we get massages, fix something to eat, read, lay out in the sun, take the canoe out, call out husbands, or have another glass of wine (well, the last one was a given!). We were there for three days and fell in love with it. We are already making plans for next year. I work in the tourism industry and would highly recommend our new favorite place to anyone looking for a glimpse of heaven. P.S. My dog loved his vacation as well.

  • My son (22), my daughter (16) and I spent 5 days at this wonderful 'get away from it all' cabin. My daughter had broken her foot and was on crutches so I was looking for a rental without stairs. This place was ideal, plus we could drive to the private beach that is part of the property and use the gas BBQ there and the canoe that was provided. (or you can walk through the woods along the edge of the lake to get there). The scenery is absolutely georgeous from every location on the property and the night sky was spectacular. We all loved it!!

  • We loved our stay at this beautiful home on the lake. The views were spectacular, the house was both elegant and comfortable, and private beach was fantastic. We loved canoeing, watching birds, trees, and gorgeous mountain views. This is a great place, and our dog had the time of his life too!

  • Our vacation was to celebrate our anniversary and we found the house, views and setting to be magnificent, quiet and serene. It is well built, nicely appointed and perfect for a couple that wants a five star experience without the distraction of other people. We are cyclists and took 3 spectacular rides during our 5 day stay. The hikes around the ranch were also wonderful. We had a fabulous time but wished we had booked it for a week. Next time we will definitely stay longer.
