Amazing vacation in great location

This was one of our best vacations ever. My parents arrived from Israel and all of us (4 adults and 3 kids) drove for 5 hours from the Bay Area. Our first time in Shasta area. We heard so much about this place and were looking forward to explore it. But after getting into the lodge we never wanted to go out. Every detail in this house was carefully designed. Suzi and Nick invested 5 years in building this lodge and you can see their touch in every corner. The home theater was great for the kids and the Spa was great for the adults. This place is huge so every one get their privacy. The area is great too. Siskiyou lake is just 5 minutes away, the water are warm and you can enjoy many water activities. We can't wait to visit again.

My husband, his cousin and I with our 2 dogs stayed at Gilden Lodge in late October. Suzi met us there and gave us detailed instructions on how everything worked ie: t.v.'s and spa. We felt at home right away and relaxed easily. We loved the pool table and theatre room. The house is well taken care of and we felt like Suzi went the extra mile to make us feel welcomed. It usually takes me at least one night before I sleep well in a different bed than my own. Not the case here. We all slept great every night. The views were outstanding from the house. We all agree, it was a first class experience!

I surprised three of my friends with a few days away at Gilden Lodge in Mt. Shasta, CA. What a beautiful and cozy place! Being a gourmet cook I really appreciated the well appointed kitchen... and the views from the lodge are magnificent! Suzi, the property owner, was thoughtful and attended to every detail. She recommended that we go view the waterfalls near McCloud and it was nature at it's best. Thank you Suzi for offering such a fabulous place to enjoy the bounties of friendship, food and the great outdoors.

We are 3 couples who travel every year together and I always book the accommodations. The others just want to come along for the ride and be surprised at each place we are staying. When we pulled up to Gilden Lodge, they all said it had a WOW factor. We couldn't have been more pleased with the lodge and its location. It is a beautifully built home with a view of Mt Shasta that cannot be matched. There was so much room in the house that I don't think we even used it all. We all had our own space and bathrooms just as the listing described. Everything was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Suzi, the owner, was very helpful with information regarding the lodge as well as activities nearby. We enjoyed walking the town of Mt Shasta and found a wonderful bakery that also served a delicious lunch. The photos of the lodge on the web site are great, but you will definitely be even more impressed with the lodge and its surroundings when you visit in person. We all had a GREAT time and would highly recommend the lodge to anyone visiting the area.

You'd think it wasn't possible but Gilden Lodge was even better than it looks on the web! Our family, ranging from 20s to 80s, spent a wonderful long weekend at the house. It's a quick drive to downtown Mt. Shasta but the views and starry night sky make you feel like you're miles from anywhere. The house was spotless, well equipped, and absolutely beautiful. The media room downstairs was a treat in the evenings and even with 10 people in the house, we never felt crowded in the large living area. The house is close to great hiking and rafting. We'll be back!

Gilden Lodge is truly an amazing place to stay. From the moment we arrived, we fell in love with the cabin.The views of Mt. Shasta and the surrounding area were spectacular. Each room in the cabin provided beautiful views. All the bedrooms were very spacious, comfortable and made you feel right at home. The bathrooms were well appointed, especially the spa master bath. What a treat! Plenty of space to relax... on the deck, playing pool,watching movies in the home theatre room or lounging on the hammock. The cabin is a perfect retreat for a couple (like us) or a family gathering (which is already in the planning stages).The best part is, we were able to bring our dog who was in heaven! This was our first visit to the area and our host had great suggestions for hiking to some of the most beautiful alpine lakes we have ever seen. We, along with our Golden cannot wait to visit again. We had a wonderful time!

We were planning a family reunion for Summer, 2011 and were seeking just the right spot in a beautiful location with ample space for all of us. We could not have done better than the Gilden Lodge! It is an absolutely gorgeous luxury log cabin with incredible views of Mt. Shasta and plenty of room for everyone. It is beautifully outfitted and equipped and Suzie, the owner, could not have been more welcoming and helpful. All in all, it was perfect! We hope to be able to return and make this a family tradition! Outstanding!!

I recently spent 4 nights at the Gilden Lodge with my wife and child, my parents, and my wife's parents. Everything was perfect--the lodge was gorgeous and spotlessly clean, the beds were fantastic, and the view from the back deck was awesome. We had no problems whatsoever. All the needed items were stocked prior to arrival (towels, toilet paper, coffee filters, etc). I didn't want to leave and can't wait to book another stay--a longer one!

My wife and I, our two children (6 and 14), and two other couples (8 people total) stayed in Suzi's cabin for 1 week in July. As advertised, there was plenty of both personal and common space for everyone in this fascinating and gorgeous lodge. We were particularly drawn to the 'great' room and the views of Mt Shasta, Black Butte, and Mt Eddy as well as morning visits by quail (a male and female with 9 chicks). Trails and roads from the cabin to Old McCloud Rd were nearly traffic free and made for great running paths (easy to go 10 miles or more) and nature walks - we felt like just being at the cabin was an adventure. Of course, as much as we enjoyed the cabin, we also spent time hiking on Mt Shasta, walking/swimming along the McCloud River, kayaking on Lake Siskiyou, and exploring the town. We had never been to this area before, and one huge bonus about the cabin and Mt Shasta in general was being so close to so many different possible outings. I think our longest drive was to Lake Shastina that was maybe 25 minutes away - everything we wanted to do was remarkably close and fees for access were either minimal ($1 per person at Lake Siskiyou) or non-existent. Another bonus was the lack of big crowds. People were definitely out and about, but nothing like the national parks (or typical Southern California get-aways) in the summer. For groceries, we shopped most at Berryvale Grocery for their organic selections - we expected high prices and that was certainly true. They also have a decent amount of gluten-free and dairy-free alternatives. For carnivores though, Mt Shasta Super Market is the place to get superb locally sourced beef. They butcher it themselves and the manager of the counter was great to talk to about how they operate. Our best meal of the trip was based around some rib steaks we bought from him. The Wayside Grill (recommended by Suzi) was tasty and a fun place to visit, and I can also recommend Andaman Healthy Thai Cuisine for some spice. I should also mention Mt Shasta Pastry - they had the most delicious home-made pastries: get there early. For us, this vacation was definitely splurging. But, it was absolutely worth it! Suzi is great - very helpful and accommodating to the point where the cabin really felt like ours for a week. It's a beautiful place with an incredible amount of fascinating natural history and outdoor adventure opportunities - both for the leisurely inclined and the thrill-seeking extreme types.
