Location: Mount Shasta, Shasta Cascade, California, USA (5 minutes N. of Mt. Shasta City, semi-rural, mountain view) View Map
Accommodations: Chalet Home, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 6-7)
Nestled among the pines with views of magnificent Mount Shasta, this charming, modern chalet lets you relax and reflect on the serenity of the area while enjoying the comforts of home. Romantic luxury for 2... Yet spacious enough to sleep a large family. The unique combination of outstanding location, exceptional layout, and owner involvement makes The Chalet the perfect place for a mountain get-a-away. ( But if you MUST check e-mail, hi-speed cable internet access is provided.)
We, Jack and Terri, live in the Bay Area but go to Mount Shasta so often that we decided to buy the Chalet in 1999 for our own use and for guests. The Chalet is located three and a half miles from central Mount Shasta City, just north of the city limits in a quiet residential neighborhood, recessed from the street. There is plenty of distance (and trees!) between the neighbors. It is very peaceful and private. There is a wonderful view of the mountain from the deck, the dining area, and the upstairs loft area. You will find an outdoor table (with chairs and umbrella) on the deck during the warm weather months as well as an outdoor barbecue grill. And sleds in winter!
The large master bedroom suite (upstairs) has a queen bed, futon sleeper, walk-in closet, and full bath (with bathtub/shower). The loft outside the bedroom looks over the living area and offers a great reading spot, and is also perfect for viewing Mt. Shasta. The downstairs bedroom (queen bed) is on the main level with the living area and is nicely situated down a hallway allowing an escape to privacy. There is and another full bath (walk-in shower) near the bedroom. If needed, the full size sofa in the living room can also be used for sleeping.
We pride ourselves on meeting the needs of our guests. All inquiries and reservations are handled directly by the owners (us!), not a property manager. Our goal is to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We ENCOURAGE early arrivals and late departures whenever the guest schedule allows for it.
We are proud of our growing number of repeat guests, and we hope you enjoy The Chalet as much as we do. We are also dog-lovers, so you can bring ALL members of the family! The Chalet at Mount Shasta has an official Vacation Rental Permit granted by Siskiyou County.

Here are some unsolicited comments from some guests:
Your information is so complete, you are to be commended. We have stayed in many other homes, and believe me, yours is the BEST.
We just got back- and we LOVED your house and the easy location !! You guys are great. Better then ANY concierge I had in all those years in hotels.
Hi Jack, we were in Mt. Shasta this past weekend when it just dumped snow all day...what an experience. We decided to stay in a smaller rental unit, as our party was smaller than usual....what a mistake. Mark and I want you to know that you do a great job with your rental, with all the instructions you give, and the condition you keep it in. It is definitely worth the expense, and next time we will be back to the Chalet, no matter what! Hopefully we'll make it back this spring, but if not, for sure next year. We appreciate you opening your home to us coastal dwellers who love the snow! [guest from Eureka]

You are truly very lucky people to own such an amazing chalet. I will admit that I spent the majority of Friday sitting in the little loft area watching the clouds sweep through the mountain. It was a site to behold. Also, i cannot remember the last time I had such fresh water. I was impressed with the chalet and the breathtaking view. You never know if people are exaggerating or not in the descriptions of places - you were not! It was amazing. Thank you!
--------------------------------
We had another great time in Mt Shasta - this time we brought a couple who frequents Tahoe. They had no idea about Mt Shasta and the fun to be had. The Chalet was wonderful as expected and we'll be back again! Thanks again for opening your Chalet to the rest of us!

We loved the floor plan, the kitchen, the privacy, the neighborhood, and all the information. It was by far the nicest place we've ever stayed in Mt. Shasta. Despite the rainy, snowy weather we had, and the fact that we never did see the mountain, we had a great time.
---------
The cotton linens and comforters were a dream, as was the quality of the mattresses. Unusually wonderful and a huge reason to return!
---------------
The Chalet was by far the best (cleanest and most comfortable) place we have stayed in Mt. Shasta. We have come on the 4th of July for 10 or more years and have stayed in various places. The Chalet is well designed and well maintained. The location was exceptional, as we like to be close but not right in town. We would like to come back for a winter vacation and will definitely return for the 4th probably
next year. Jack, your e-mails were all helpful and prompt. Thank you for a great stay. Our little dog loved her home for a few days too!
P.S. If you ever want to sell the Chalet, let us know!
---------------
It was like arriving at a friend's house when we were expected and welcome. It had everything we needed. Comfortable, good kitchen, good flow through the house. The location with such a fabulous view of Mt. Shasta and Black Butte was hard to improve upon.

Map & Owner's Profile
"The Chalet at Mount Shasta" - a Unique Vacation Home
Year Purchased: 1999
Why the Owner Chose Mount Shasta
We found ourselves returning to Mt. Shasta so often that we decided to buy a house for our visits and one that would be welcoming and comfortable for guests. We love all seasons in Mt. Shasta, but winter is our favorite time there.
The Unique Benefits at this Chalet Home
We looked at many other properties first but when we walked into The Chalet, we instantly knew this was what we were looking for: not in town but close, view of the mountain, quiet, and a house that was not too big but could comfortably accommodate a large family (or two smaller ones).
Owner's Map of Mount Shasta
Welcome to The Chalet at Mount Shasta! Our family includes Jack and Terri, Daniel (9) and dog Cody (almost 13!), plus miscellaneous other animals at various times. We live in the Bay Area but love Mt. Shasta, and we stay at The Chalet for 4-5 days about every 3 months. We are thrilled to have been able to share The Chalet with so many people since we bought it in 1999, and so much appreciate our ‘regular’ guests who have also made The Chalet their ‘home-away-from’ home. We look forward to your visit! [May 2009]
