This Castella vacation rental features a covered back porch with an expansive view of the river. From the porch, back yard, or river's edge, on any given morning or evening, you can view the area's abundant wildlife to include hatches, fish rising, osprey, heron, mink, ducks, deer and the occasional river otter. The large shaded back yard includes a picnic table, gas BBQ and lawn furniture.
The cabin is clean and cozy. The living room has a rock fireplace for ambiance and additional heat and the master bath features a claw foot bathtub with a view of the river. There are plenty of books and games available to read or play. It also includes a new HDTV, Nintendo Gamecube console and dvd/vcr player.
Those interested in trains may find the front porch as an ideal locale for observing and photographing rail traffic. Water and other recreation pursuits include fishing, swimming, inner-tubing, rafting, kayaking and mountain biking. Please bring your own gear!

Unfortunately, today is the day we have to pack up and leave. Thank you sooo much for your hospitality and generosity...from making sure everything was fine with us in the cabin, letting us use the rafts, offering to pick up Cody from the airport and taking Cody & Trevor on an additional rafting adventure...Thank You!

What a lovely, spontaneous find. We highly recommend the hike to Castle Crag Dome. The views were outstanding. We also were blessed with a pair of osprey during our three night stay. We watched from our comfy chairs on the water shore as an osprey sat patiently in the tree across from us, then did a free fall dive into the clear trout- fed water. So much more to explore. Hope to be back another time. P.S. Best of all was the cabin itself...a small place of enchantment with everything a person could ever need.
